Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286 

“No!” But Gilbert instantly rejected the idea, his narrow eyes cold and haughty. “What ! wanted, was it a simple ‘thank you‘ from her? Was it her gratitude?” 

The way Sherilyn looked at Edgar earlier, it was so tender it could melt hearts! 

And she even smiled at him! 

Gilbert thought, how ridiculous he was! 

It was Edgar’s family who opposed their relationship, not that they didn’t want to be together. And he actually thought… his chance had come? 

Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous! 

Even if he rushed over here, so what? Sherilyn would never look at him that way! 

Charles opened his mouth, wanting to say, at least gratitude… was better than dislike, right? 

But catching a glimpse of Gilbert’s darkened face, he swallowed his words. 

“Back to Sunhaven!” 

“Yes, sir!” 

As dawn broke, the storm outside kept up, though it wasn’t as intense as the day before. 

Edgar, holding his phone, came in from outside. 

He had stepped out to take a work call, and when he returned, Sherilyn was awake. 

“Sherilyn, you’re up?” 

“Yeah.” 

The soundproofing of the observation room’s door wasn’t great. 

She had heard enough to know he had things to handle. “I’m okay now, you should take care of your business.*

Worried Edgar might refuse, she added, “The nurse told me Rebecca called the nurse’s station. She said she’d be here soon.” 

‘That’s good.” 

Edgar didn’t leave right away. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her intently. “Sherilyn, is there any chance… I can get off your blacklist?” 

Sherilyn was speechless.

She could lie here, all thanks to him. Would rejecting him be considered ungrateful? 

“Sherilyn, please? Can you take me off your blacklist?” 

Meeting his clear, hopeful gaze, Sherilyn finally nodded. “Yeah, okay.” 

“Yes!” Edgar leapt up. “Sherilyn, you agreed! No take–backs!” 

“Yeah.” Sherilyn chuckled. “My phone isn’t with me. Rebecca will bring it when she comes.” As they spoke, Edgar’s phone rang again. 

Sherilyn urged him, “You better go. Don’t let your work wait!” 

“Alright.” 

Edgar had to leave. Without his family’s support, he had to work hard for the future. “Then I’m off! Call me anytime if you need anything!” 

“Alright, will do.” 

Not long after Edgar left, Rebecca arrived.
