Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 

Edgar was totally into her, so of course he loved everything about her! And why wouldn’t he when it was a token of her affection? 

Ahem. 

The others, well, it was kind of awkward to watch. 

What was supposed to be a birthday bash had turned into an unsolicited session of feeding us all with their mushy love! 

Gilbert turned away, lost in thought. A shirt? 

Sherilyn’s sewing skills rang a bell for him. Hadn’t she made him a shirt once, if he remembered right? 

That evening, Gilbert returned to the Johnson Mansion and began digging through his closet. 

After a long search without success, he wondered, had he remembered it wrong? Had Sherilyn never made one for him? 

No, that couldn’t be right! 

Gilbert refused to give up. 

Finally, in a neglected corner of the wardrobe, he found a box. 

Inside, he found a neatly wrapped handmade shirt, clearly not from the upscale tailor the Johnsons usually used. 

This one, it was made by Sherilyn for him! 

Gilbert closed his eyes, trying to recall. 

When had she given it to him? Was it for his birthday, or a graduation gift? It had been so long, he hadn’t paid much attention at the time, how could he remember now? 

Holding the shirt, Gilbert slumped to the floor. 

He had once possessed the purest form of Sherilyn’s affection. He had always

known it… 

Unfortunately, knowing and seeing were not the same thing. 

Now that he saw it, the recipient of her handmade shirts had changed to Edgar! 

The next morning. 

Gilbert arrived at his office, and after the morning briefing, he sifted through a pile of reports before calling in Charles. 

“Mr. Gilbert, what can I do for you?” 

“Hmm.” 

Gilbert pulled out a few documents, instructing him, “Remove the Bryant family from our potential partners list. No need to bother them anymore.” 

Charles was taken aback. Had the Bryant family offended Mr. Gilbert? 

“Yes, understood.” Charles didn’t ask further; Mr. Gilbert was clearly holding a grudge. 

And for Gilbert, giving Charles those instructions was a way to vent the frustration he’d been holding since last night. 

This was what the Bryant family deserved, after all. Who asked them to raise a daughter who could lash out? 

A simple apology to Sherilyn wasn’t enough to calm his anger; there needed to be tangible losses! 

It didn’t take long for the Bryant family business to hear about it. 

The family was confused, “What happened? We heard it was Mr. Gilbert’s decision, did we offend him recently?” 

Hadn’t their cooperation been going smoothly until now? 

The Bryants were puzzled. 

But Darlene was terrified! 

Because, if anyone had recently offended Gilbert, it was her, right?
