Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132 

Ever since when did she start addressing him like that? 

It seemed like, ever since she came back this time, it had always been… 

Gilbert felt a knot in his stomach but couldn’t quite put his finger on why. When he finally spoke, his tone was less than pleasant. “What do you want now?” 

Seeing his mood darken further, Sherilyn got straight to the point. “I wanted to talk about my dancing gig at Neon Nights Bar. Could you please cover for me with Sylvia? Just say… I was teaching kids to dance at the community center at night, okay?” 

So, that was it. 

“Alright.” Gilbert gave a slight nod. “Got it.” 

After a pause, he added, “This isn’t a long–term solution, you know. I think you’d be better off leaving Neon Nights Bar.” 

At that, Sherilyn’s expression stiffened slightly, and she forced a smile. “It’s my job. It’s how I support myself.” 

“Is there no other option?” 

Gilbert had always disapproved. “You won’t starve if you quit!” 

Sherilyn laughed, albeit without much humor. “As if that’s even an option…” 

“I’ll support you!” Her words were cut off by his sudden outburst. 

What? Sherilyn was taken aback, thinking she’d misheard. “What did you say?” 

“I mean…” 

After saying it, Gilbert was also taken aback by his own words. What was he thinking, saying something like that? 

Swallowing hard, Gilbert tried to maintain his composure. “I mean, the Johnson family can take care of you. Grandma adores you, treats you like her own granddaughter. Do you really think she’d let you starve?” 

Oh, so that’s what he meant. 

Sherilyn breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly. “But I’m not really a Johnson, am I? Sylvia might care for me, but I can’t just take advantage of her kindness. I already owe the Johnson family so much. 

With that, she waved her hand. “It’s getting late. I should get some sleep. Goodnight.” 

Then, she stepped back and closed her door. 

1 51:30. 

Chapter 132 

Gilbert stood outside, his eyes narrowing slightly. 

Today’s Sherilyn, always so tactful and reasonable… 

Would any of the young elites of Sunhaven overlook her past and take an interest in her? 

Gilbert closed his eyes tightly, frustrated. Why did he have to organize a birthday party?! 

Though reluctant and frustrated, he knew he couldn’t skimp on what needed to be done. 

After all, it was Sherilyn’s birthday. 

Sherilyn only found out about it on the day. 

She had breakfast with Sylvia, and then the housekeeper Cara and the staff started preparing. Deliveries arrived, along with the chefs and waitstaff hired for the event… 

Sherilyn was the last to know. “Sylvia, are we expecting guests today?” 

“Yes, dear.” Sylvia smiled, patting her hand. “It’s a birthday party for you.”
