Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1067

"Hello?"

Sherilyn barely got a word out before realizing the line was dead.

She glanced at her phone, a bit bewildered... did he just hang up without a word?

Really?

Sherilyn chuckled helplessly and instructed Naomi, "Wait here, okay? I'm going to say hi to Blake."

"Alright."

When Sherilyn explained to Blake that Gilbert was coming, he naturally didn't hold her back.

"You'd better hurry, don't keep Mr. Harrison waiting."

"Thanks, Blake."

Just as she turned to leave, her phone rang again.

Sherilyn answered quickly, "Are you here?"

"Yeah," Gilbert replied, amusement in his voice. "I'm by the west gate. Should I come in, or will you come out?"

"You wait there, I'm coming out," she insisted.

No way was she letting him come into the party with all those people around. He'd be swarmed in no time.

She hung up and gathered her dress, heading out quickly towards the west gate.

This part of the venue was quieter, closer to the parking lot exit.

Sherilyn jogged ahead, Candida taking long strides to keep up, with Naomi trailing behind.

As soon as she stepped out the west gate, Sherilyn stopped, slightly out of breath.

She lifted her gaze and spotted Gilbert leaning casually against his car.

The row of streetlights cast a glow from behind him, softening his usually sharp features.

Gilbert watched her closely, his eyes twinkling with an affectionate smile.

"Sherilyn!" he called out, opening his arms wide.

Something sparked inside Sherilyn, and before her brain could catch up, her body had already reacted...

She broke into a run towards him.

"Sherilyn!"
