Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1004

He naively and openly believed that what Sherilyn lacked over those years was just care, enjoying a lavish lifestyle all the while!

She had merely left Sunhaven, changing her surroundings, that's all!

Gilbert's heart twisted in pain, making it hard for him to breathe...

Yet, this was just a hidden truth he had stumbled upon, and it hurt him this much. What about Sherilyn?

Alone, enduring and experiencing all these hardships... How much pain must she have been in!

...

Tonight, Sherilyn had a night scene.

When Gilbert arrived, her bodyguard Candida and assistant Naomi approached him together.

"Mr. Nine," Candida said, "Ms. Gomez isn't done yet."

Gilbert nodded, "I know. You two go about your tasks; I'll wait for her here."

"Alright, Mr. Nine."

After dismissing the two, Gilbert stood alone, watching Sherilyn performing a scene with Michael from afar.

The play was set in ancient times.

The costumes were heavy, but Sherilyn, slender as she was, made the bulky outfit seem elegant.

Gilbert reminisced about Sherilyn at twenty, comparing her to the woman before him...

When she left Sunhaven, she was a girl with a hint of youthful fluff on her face, but now, she had bloomed into a breathtaking rose.

Sherilyn had grown up.

In places he couldn't see, through hardships... she had grown up!

Feeling a bitter sting in his eyes, Gilbert turned away and shut them tightly.

It was as if a cat, baring its teeth, had extended its sharp claws and violently scratched across his heart, leaving trails of blood!

When he opened his eyes again, they were misted over, as if washed by water.

Sherilyn didn't know yet that he had found out...

And yet, he didn't fully understand either!

What he knew was just a rough outline!
