Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



Sherilyn looked up at him with a straight gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips as she said bluntly, "No, I'm leaving because I don't want you to drive me, don't want to see you, don't want to share a car with you, don't want to breathe the same air as you."

"Sherilyn, please..."

Seeing Gilbert looking downcast like a child, Rebecca couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity and tugged at her arm.

"Yeah, I know."

Gilbert's face stiffened a bit, but he managed a smile and glanced at Rebecca.

"I might not need to drive you, but big bro asked me to make sure Rebecca gets home safely."

Then turning to Rebecca, "If you don't need my ride, just call big bro. If he agrees, I'll leave right away."

"What?"

Rebecca's head spun at his words.

The last thing she wanted was to contact Francis right now!

Tugging at Sherilyn's arm, she pleaded, "Sherilyn, can we just get in the car? We'll sit in the back, won't talk to him, pretend it's a cab, okay?"

While saying so, she started leading her towards the car.

"I'm begging you here, I really don't want to call your brother!"

Sherilyn gave Rebecca a look that said, 'What is this now?'

Reluctantly, she got dragged into the car.

Gilbert's lips curved into a slight smile, happiness twinkling in his eyes.

Not far behind, Francis saw Sherilyn and Rebecca getting into his brother's Bentley, his expression easing.

Caroline turned to look at him, "Are you that worried about Rebecca?"Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, something struck her, making her gasp, "Francis, don't tell me, you're blaming me for grandma's situation?"

"..." Francis's grip on the steering wheel tightened, but he shook his head, "No, it's on me..."

"That's good to know!"

Before Francis could finish, she scoffed.

"I have a clear conscience! Blame yourselves! One indulges in affair within marriage, the other tempts a married woman! I just spoke the truth, how could it be my fault?"

Francis was taken aback, looking at

Caroline's reflection in the rearview mirror, suddenly feeling she was both unfamiliar and distant...

AQUMS

At Sunset Ridge Community.

The car stopped in front of the apartment building.

Rebecca got out first, and as Sherilyn was about to follow,

"Sherilyn, wait!"

Gilbert came around to her side, stopping her, "It's all water here!"

Indeed it was.

Sunhaven had seen intermittent rain these past few days.

Sunset Ridge Community, being an older neighborhood, suffered from lack of maintenance, with some areas being uneven and prone to pooling water after rainfall

Sherilyn hesitated, then decided to exit from the other side.

However, Gilbert had already stepped through the puddles to her, lifting her from the car.

"Gilbert!" Sherilyn exclaimed, "Put me down!"

Before she could finish, Gilbert had already carried her over the puddles and set her down safely.

His dark eyes innocent, "I just didn't want you to step in the water."

"You did that on purpose!" Sherilyn couldn't hide her anger, "You had to park here, didn't you?"

"Sherilyn..." Gilbert's smile was tinged with sadness, "I always park in this spot."

"So what?"

Sherilyn's laugh was scornful, "You betrayed me! And still dare to hug and touch me? Have you no shame?"

"I don't."

Gilbert looked down, his eyes meeting hers.

Filled with regret and bitterness, "I may have no shame, but I can't lose you! Sherilyn, I don't want to lose you!" "It's too late!"

Tears welled up in Sherilyn's eyes, her lips trembling, "Toothbrushes and men, they're not meant to be shared! It's over between us!
