Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



"No way."

Gilbert paused, then chuckled. "Fight? She and I, we just don't have that kind of relationship. If anyone's going to argue, it'd be you and me..."

Why did he have to bring her into this again?

"Whatever."

Sherilyn couldn't be bothered to argue. "Anyway, I told you. Do whatever you want."

"Right." Gilbert nodded with a smile. "Got it."

His nonchalant demeanor only made Sherilyn more puzzled.

...

"Ah!"

At the moment, the insides of Golden Oak Manor were in complete chaos thanks to Caroline's rampage!

Everything within her reach had been smashed to pieces!

Sitting in her wheelchair, panting and seething with hatred, her eyes seemed like they might pop out of her sockets. "Gilbert! Sherilyn!"

Caroline gritted her teeth as she cursed their names. "Well done! You've made me so miserable! Ha, hahaha..." Beside her, the caretaker watched her frenzied fury with both worry and fear.

Mouth agape, wanting to say something but holding back.

"What are you staring at?"

Suddenly, Caroline glared at her, bellowing, "Well? Aren't you going to help? Don't you see my hand is injured?"

"Oh!"

Startled by her shout, Josie shuddered and hurried over, supporting her arm. "Ms. Bet, your hand..."

"It's nothing!" Caroline endured the pain, her face beaded with cold sweat. "I'm not going to die!"

Not only was she not going to die, but she also had to live on well!

Just wait, those who abandoned her, making her this humiliated, will not have it easy, not a single one of them!

"Ms. Bet, I'll call an ambulance!"

"Do it now!"

...

The car drove into Blue Haven.

"Mommy! Mr. Gilbert!"

The grand doors of the South Building flew open, and Jenna, dressed in a princess gown, ran out.

"Mommy, mommy!"

"Jenna!"

Sherilyn got out of the car and ran up to catch Jenna as she rushed over.

"Haven't gone to bed yet, baby?"

"I was waiting for mommy."

Jenna tilted her little head, resting it on her mom's shoulder. "Sophia said mommy would be back soon!"

Sherilyn had called Sophia right after she finished her scene.

"I wanted to wait for mommy, then go to bed, to say goodnight."

Missing her mom, Sherilyn's heart melted, "You're such a good

Let's go! It's storytime, then of

bed."

"Okay!"

Jenna nodded obediently, then suddenly turned to wave at Gilbert.

"Mr. Gilbert, hurry up! Come with us!"

"Alright." Gilbert couldn't help but smile, nodding as he followed the mother and daughter.

"Mr. Nine..." Someone called out to him from behind.

Turned around, it was Candida, Sherilyn's female bodyguard, looking puzzled. "Something up?"

"Yes."

Candida nodded, "Ms. Gomez didn't have dinner tonight."

What? Gilbert immediately frowned, "What time is it now? Caleb Marshall's crew can't even provide a meal?"

"It's not that."

Candida shook her head, explaining the situation.

"Today's schedule was packed, andnovelbin

many scenes were crucial for Ms. Gomez She spent extra time on the script and lines, so... she missed dinner."

"Why push herself so hard?"

His tone sounded reproachful, but it was actually out of concern.

Gilbert shook his head lightly. "She doesn't need to work so hard to provide..."

Glancing at Candida, "I got it. You go rest."

"Alright, Mr. Nine."

In the children's room, Sherilyn sat with Jenna, reading through a picture book. The little one's eyelids began to droop, clearly on the verge of sleep.
