Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471 

It worked wonders, except for one side effect–it made her too lively. 

It was already past eight–thirty, a time when the little rascal was usually deep in dreamland, but tonight, she was fussing and refusing to sleep. 

“Jenna,” Sherilyn patted the bed, “come here and sleep with Mommy.” 

“Okay!” 

Jenna agreed, jumping onto the bed, her eyes wide open and her mouth spread in a grin, “Mommy, hehe…” 

“You’re still laughing?” Sherilyn was torn between laughter and tears, “It’s bedtime!” 

“Hehehe…” 

Jenna kept giggling and causing a ruckus, leaving Sherilyn and Sophia taking turns trying to soothe her, all to no avail. 

Sophia’s phone rang–it was Gilbert. 

“Mr. Gilbert.” 

“Mhm.” Gilbert was spending the night alone, ‘tossing and turning in bed‘, and had called because he was worried about 

Jenna. 

“Did you give her the medicine? How’s Jenna?” 

Sophia glanced at the lively Jenna, “She’s great, just too great. She won’t go to sleep even now.” 

“Sir?” 

How sharp was Jenna? She immediately climbed up, reaching for the phone, “I want to talk to him!” 

“Alright.” Sophia handed her the phone with a smile. 

“Sir!” 

Hearing the little one’s voice, Gilbert knew the medicine had taken effect. His brows relaxed, and a smile played at the corners of his mouth. 

“It’s late, Jenna. Why aren’t you sleeping?” 

“Sir, I’m watching the moon! It’s so pretty.” 

“Is that so?” 

Gilbert walked to the window, looking up to see the moon at the start of the month, a thin crescent like a little boat. 

“Jenna should go to sleep now. The moon needs to sleep too.” 

Children these days are tough to fool, “You’re fibbing, sir. The moon is in the sky; how can it sleep?” 

Gilbert massaged his temple, “How about this, I will bring the moon down to keep Jenna company while she sleeps, okay?” 

“Really?” Jenna was skeptical. 

“Really Gilbert promised with all seriousness, “Just wait a little while, and the moon will come to keep Jenna company in sleep.” 

“Okay!” Jenna happily agreed, “Then Jenna will wait.” 

After hanging up, Jenna blinked her big eyes, “Mommy, that gentleman said he’s going to bring the moon to keep me company while I sleep!” 

“Theard.” 

Sherilyn helplessly rubbed her forehead, silently complaining about Gilbert’s antics. Was he trying to make Jenna even more restless? What was he thinking? 

Chapter 471 

Now, with Jenna waiting for the moon, there was no way she was going to sleep. 

Left with no other choice, they pulled out a storybook to read to Jenna. 

Jenna was half listening to the story, half watching the door.
