Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 869

Sherilyn paused, understanding perfectly well why Edgar had asked her that. It was likely because she and Gilbert seemed to be getting along too smoothly...

"We haven't reconciled."

Sherilyn shook her head, letting out a soft sigh with a hint of a smile, "We've just... reached a truce."

"A truce?"

Edgar furrowed his brows, trying to process her words. He found it hard to believe, but a quiet joy began to bloom within him, "You mean, you two aren't back together?"

"That's right."

Sherilyn chuckled, nodding in affirmation.

"!!"

Edgar was both surprised and delighted, and the weight he'd been carrying for days finally lifted! He had been worried that once Sherilyn learned what Gilbert had done for her, she might change her mind... But she hadn't! This meant he still had a chance!

Edgar tried to rein in his happiness; Jenna was still in the hospital, and he had promised to wait for her.

"Sherilyn..."

"Edgar!"

They both spoke at the same time.

Sherilyn smiled, "You first."

"Oh..." Edgar couldn't hide his smile, "I was just wondering, where are you headed? Can I give you a lift?"

At that moment, the elevator arrived at the underground parking garage.

"No need."

Sherilyn smiled, shaking her head and gesturing towards her parking spot, "I drove myself."

In the hospital room. Gilbert had just put Jenna to sleep and leaned back on the couch to work on his laptop. His phone vibrated on the table. He glanced at it and rejected the call. Shortly after, he sent a text.

[Can't talk now. I won't be back at Golden Oak Manor for the next couple of weeks. Take care. If anything urgent, contact Charles.]

The reply came quickly.

[Are you at the hospital?]

Gilbert paused before replying with a single word.

[Yes.]

[Understood.]

The conversation ended there. On the other end, Caroline gripped her phone tightly, her lips curling into a sneer, "Hah, how interesting..."

She had learned about Gilbert and Sherilyn's daughter! It was hard not to know! For them, Gilbert had even returned to the Harrison family, a place he had vowed never to go back to. Previously, not even his mother's influence could bring him back, right? This just showed how important Sherilyn and their daughter were to Gilbert!
