Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1308

Callie smirked. "Are they a thing now? Honestly, considering they're both divorced, they make a pretty good match. Ah—"

Before she could finish, her arm was violently shaken off.

The sheer force of his movement made her stumble.

"Gilbert..."

When she regained her balance, she saw Gilbert was already walking away, leaving her behind without a second glance.

"You..."

Furious, Callie quickly jogged to catch up with him.

Unable to hide her burning jealousy, she snapped, "Does it make you that mad to see her with Nanson? You guys broke up! You have me now!"

"!"

Gilbert whipped around suddenly, his right hand shooting up as if he was about to strike her.

"?" Callie froze in sheer terror. "Wh... what are you doing?"

Was he actually going to hit her?

Yes.

Gilbert possessed every urge to strike her down right then and there. But she was a woman, and he didn't hit women!

Ultimately, he forced his fist back down.

His lips curled into a terrifying, icy sneer, a dangerous aura radiating from him. "Heh. Hilarious."

Callie felt a cold sweat break out on her back. She stammered, "You... you're mad? I'm sorry, okay? Don't be mad, I was wrong..."

"Shut up!"

Gilbert squeezed his eyes shut in agony. "Be quiet! Just give me a damn minute of peace!"

"...Okay." Callie immediately clamped a hand over her own mouth, terrified of pushing him any further.

In that fleeting moment, a terrifying realization washed over her: This man was still deeply, agonizingly in love with Sherilyn Gomez!

...

Inside the private dining room, Sherilyn and Nanson were completely unaware of the drama unfolding outside.

"Nanson." Sherilyn handed him the menu. "I checked off a few recommendations. Take a look and see what you think..."

"Looks good to me."

Nanson glanced over her choices and found nothing to complain about. "Let's go with this."

"Then why don't you pick out a bottle of wine?"

"My pleasure."

The food began arriving shortly after.
