Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 563

The next morning, as soon as Sherilyn woke up, the doorbell rang.

It was Gilbert.

"This early?" Sherilyn opened the door for him.

Gilbert had brought a housekeeper with him. "I had her come over to cook some meals and do the laundry."

Rebecca was blind and relied heavily on Sherilyn for assistance.

But there was no way he was going to have Sherilyn doing chores. She hadn't done such things at the Johnsons', and he definitely wouldn't expect her to serve Rebecca.

Sherilyn didn't refuse; she gratefully accepted, “Thank you.”

"Huh?" Gilbert frowned unhappily, “What are you talking about? That's not something you just say.”

Then he grinned, wrapping his arms around her waist, “Give me a kiss.”

“Uh…” Sherilyn didn't have time to react.

As her breathing grew heavier, Sherilyn nervously struggled, “You…stop…”

“What's there to be afraid of?”

Gilbert thought she was just shy. “The housekeeper's busy, and as for Rebecca, she can't see us.”

"But you could at least hold back a little..."

Sherilyn frowned, “The doctor said we need to be extra careful during the first three months.”

“Oh.”

Gilbert realized, then lowered his head, placing his palm on her stomach, speaking to the child inside.

“All right, you're the most precious right now.”

Then he thought for a moment and said, “But a kiss shouldn't be a problem, right? One more kiss…”

"Sherilyn?"

She heard footsteps. Rebecca was waking up.

“Rebecca!” Sherilyn quickly took the opportunity to push him away, “I'm here, don't move around too much, be careful not to fall.”

She turned and walked inside.

Gilbert reluctantly smiled; he hadn't had his fill of kisses yet.

After a while, Sherilyn helped Rebecca come out from inside, and to her surprise, Gilbert hadn't left yet.

“Huh?” Sherilyn was curious, “Is there something else?”

“Sherilyn…” Rebecca was at a loss for words, knowing this was all for Sherilyn's sake.

Sherilyn felt a mix of emotions, never expecting Gilbert would do this for her.

Thinking about leaving Sunhaven soon… her heart felt a bit empty.

But she couldn't just ignore Rebecca's situation.

With determination, she smiled at Gilbert, “Thank you, that'd be great if you could arrange it.”

“Nonsense.”

Gilbert raised his hand, his fingertips touching Sherilyn's cheek with a natural intimacy, “Then it's settled. How about first thing tomorrow morning?”

He stood up, “Oh, and I might not be available, so I'll have my brother come over.”

“Ah? Mr. Francis?”

Not just Rebecca, Sherilyn was also surprised, “Your brother?”

“What's with the surprise?”

Gilbert chuckled, “A top-notch doctor isn't easily persuaded, but my brother has the clout. Besides, he's currently free.”
