Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1258

"Why don't you come for dinner? I'll have the kitchen add a couple of dishes."

"Sounds great."

After hanging up, Sherilyn felt a wave of relief. Thank goodness she had Galen.

That evening, Galen arrived.

"Sis."

"You're here."

Galen walked into the living room but didn't see his niece. "Where's Jenna?"

"In the playroom," Sherilyn said, gesturing toward the back.

"How has she been the last couple of days?" Galen asked, concerned for his niece, knowing she was upset about Gilbert.

"A little better," Sherilyn replied with a soft sigh. "She'll get through it." Time healed all wounds, especially for a child.

She pointed to the sofa. "Have a seat. Let's talk."

"Okay." Galen sat down and got straight to the point. "Regarding the relocation, you don't need to worry about who to hire or how it's done... As for where to move them, do you have any ideas?"

"I do." Sherilyn nodded. She had been thinking about it all afternoon. "I was very young when Grandma passed away... Looking back, she should have been buried with Grandpa." Sylvia had meant well at the time but hadn't considered that. "I think, while we're at it, we should bury my grandparents together."

They had been deeply in love when they were alive.

"That's what I was thinking, too," Galen agreed. "What about Auntie? Should she be with them?"

"Okay."

Galen stood up to go inside. "I'm going to see Jenna. I've missed her."

"Go ahead," Sherilyn said with a chuckle. "And while you're at it, have her wash her hands. Dinner's almost ready. I had them make your favorites—savory meatballs and that tofu stew with water chestnuts."

"You're the best, sis!" Galen said, his mouth watering as he went to get Jenna. "Jenna, Uncle Galen is here!"

…

After dinner, Sherilyn walked Galen out. At the gate, he took a call. His voice and expression softened instantly. "Joyce."

Sherilyn paused, then smiled softly to herself, turning away to give him some privacy.
