Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1250

"I want to smell!"

Before her brother could react, Joyce had already leaned in, scrunching up her nose. "Wow, that's strong! You reek of smoke."

She quickly explained, "Sherilyn's sensitive to cigarette smoke. She really can't stand the smell."

That, by the way, was why she'd never allowed Gilbert to smoke in the house.

Nanson looked embarrassed, glancing apologetically at Sherilyn. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to... Are you okay? Do you need to see a doctor or anything?" "No, I'm fine."

Sherilyn smiled and shook her head; she'd already recovered.

"Don't listen to Joyce exaggerate. I am a bit sensitive, but it's not that bad-I'm alright now."

Seeing she'd stopped coughing, Nanson finally relaxed. "Sorry again. I'll be more careful from now on."

"Will do. Bye, Nanson. Bye, Joyce."

"Bye!" Joyce waved.
