Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385 

“Ha! Hahaha…” 

As the words fell, Sherilyn burst into laughter. She laughed so hard tears streamed down her face, unable to stop herself. 

“Sherilyn!” 

“You got that right!” 

Sherilyn was still laughing, her eyes sparkling with amusement, showing not a trace of anger. She genuinely found it hilarious. 

“Four years have gone by, and I haven’t changed. And you, well, you’re exactly the same too.” 

Just like back in the day, no matter what happened, you never asked why, always rushing to Caroline’s side without a second thought! 

Sherilyn sighed silently. Do you know how I got the nickname ‘the wicked witch‘ back then? 

This is how! 

You only saw my temper, my ‘rude‘ actions, but you never asked why I did what I did! 

But times change, and now, four years later, the things that used to bother me no longer do. 

After her laughter subsided, Sherilyn lazily remarked, “Sorry, but no, I’m not going to apologize. Never. Isn’t that what you’re here for, Mr. Gilbert?” 

She looked at Gilbert with a grin. “You’re Caroline’s lapdog, always groveling at her feet. You’re so pathetic, I’m sure you can sweet–talk her like you always do.” 

“Sherilyn!” 

Amid Gilbert’s furious roar, Sherilyn suddenly lifted her hand and swept all the things from 

the table onto the floor in one swift motion! 

“Ah!” Caroline jumped up, startled. 

“Sherilyn Gomez!” Gilbert, seething with rage and his forehead veins bulging, pronounced her name deliberately. 

“Here I am.” 

Sherilyn looked up, staring Gilbert down with a smile that barely concealed her challenge. “I’ll raise the stakes! Go on, pamper your little princess!” 

Are you insane? Who wouldn’t be? Then let’s all suffer together! 

Without showing any emotion, she turned and walked out. 

“Gilbert…” Caroline was somewhat intimidated. “Are you okay?”

Chapter 385 

Gilbert was stuck in place, giving off a seriously chilling vibe of anger. 

“Gilbert.” After thinking it over, Caroline nudged him. “This is my fault. I caused the argument. Maybe you should go after her. She doesn’t have a car; she won’t get far.” 

“Not going after her!” 

Gilbert hardened his heart, abruptly turning away. Why chase her? Look at this mess; what has she done? 

He had run two blocks to get her that jar of pickles, now overturned on the ground… 

No matter how well he treated her, she was a thankless wretch! 

Calling him pathetic? 

Yes, he was pathetic! Pathetic for treating her so well! 

Leaving Golden Oak Manor, Sherilyn sat on the bus, gradually calming down. 

She had to admit, she had been impulsive. 

Those two were indeed revolting, but was this news to her? For Jenna’s sake, she should have endured it, right? 

Yet she hadn’t. 

Gilbert wasn’t entirely wrong; some things never change, and her impulsive nature was one of them. In this respect, she couldn’t compare to Caroline. 

A misstep. 

What now? Was this the end of things with Gilbert? 

It would be easy for him to find another shield, but she needed him as an ally. Was she expected to go back, grovel, and ask for his forgiveness? 

She closed her eyes, leaning back. 

What’s done is done; no use worrying about it now. Today, she just didn’t have the energy to 

‘deal‘ with him. 

Upon returning to the city, she first went back to Sunset Ridge Community. 

Jenna hadn’t seen her mother in days and was chirping happily, “Mommy, Mommy!” 

Yeah, yeah.” 

Sherilyn was very responsive, not the least bit annoyed. Every time her daughter called, she answered. 

That morning, wherever Sherilyn went, Jenna followed, not even letting her go to the bathroom alone.

That was Gilbert, who at the same time, grabbed Sherilyn’s arm, slowly standing up. He looked down at her, his eyes dark with displeasure. 

“All night you’ve been like this, and I’ve been patient with you all night. Still not enough, huh?” 

Glancing at the ‘innocent‘ dumpling on the floor, his annoyance grew, “I’ve been good to you, pampered you, and you don’t care? Over something completely baseless, you have to make a huge scene?” 

He took a deep breath, then spoke again, his voice ice–cold. 

“The beef pies were made by Caroline early this morning. Apologize to her!” 

“Let it go, it’s not a big deal…” Caroline seemed surprised, grabbing Gilbert. 

“No!” Gilbert wouldn’t have it, his gaze locking onto Sherilyn. “Sherilyn is in the wrong here, she should apologize to you, it’s only right.” 

Sherilyn looked at him, her eyes full of mockery. “You want me to apologize to her?” 

“Yes.” The man nodded, his voice cold. “You were raised by your grandmother, a lady of Sunhaven society! Don’t you even know basic manners? When you’ve done something wrong, shouldn’t you apologize?” 

“Tsk.” Sherilyn couldn’t help but sneer in response, “And what if I don’t apologize?” 

Gilbert didn’t expect her to be so stubborn, his expression darkening further. In that moment he felt like he was seeing the Sherilyn of years past! Gritting his teeth, he blurted out. 

“Sherilyn, you haven’t changed at all! Four years gone, and you’re still just as arrogant and willful!”

As the words fell, Sherilyn burst into laughter. She laughed so hard tears streamed down her face, unable to stop herself.
