Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 

Sherilyn paused for a moment before recognition dawned on her face. 

“Is that you?” 

It was him. The guy she had bumped into a few times at Neon Nights Bar, who had once offered her some pumpkin pies after a casual chat. 

“Yeah, it’s me.” 

Edgar couldn’t hide his delight, his smile broadening. 

“Never thought I’d run into you here.” 

He had been abroad for a while, working on a project, and had only recently returned to Sunhaven. 

Since his return, he hadn’t found the time to visit Neon Nights Bar, so it had been a while since he last saw Sherilyn. 

What a pleasant surprise this was! 

Edgar extended his hand to Sherilyn, “Haven’t properly introduced myself yet. I’m Edgar Ferguson.” 

“Nice to meet you.” Sherilyn smiled, shaking his hand. 

“I…” Edgar chuckled a bit shyly, “May I know your name?” 

“Of course.” 

It was only polite to share her name since he had offered his. 

“Sherilyn, my name’s Sherilyn Gomez. 

Edgar repeated her name silently, his smile growing even brighter. 

She was beautiful, a fantastic dancer, and even her name sounded lovely. Everything about her was just perfect… 

“Are you here for the birthday party as well?” 

“…Yes… I guess.” Sherilyn hesitated before nodding. 

She was the guest of honor/at this birthday celebration, after all. 

At that moment, Edgar’s phone rang. He checked the screen, saying, “My friends just got here. I have to step out for a bit, catch you later!” 

“Sure, go ahead.” 

Edgar, holding his phone, turned and walked away, his voice fading into the distance, 

“Where are you guys? I’m here…” 

Sherilyn looked up to see Sylvia signaling her over. 

Gathering her spirits, she walked toward her with a smile. 

The party was about to start, and most of the guests had arrived. 

Sylvia stood at the head of the room, with Gilbert on her left and Sherilyn on her right. 

“Who is that girl next to Sylvia?” 

“Never seen her before, but isn’t she stunning? Which family’s daughter is she?” 

“What daughter? Are you out of your mind?” 

The murmurs and whispers filled the air. 

“The invitation mentioned it’s the Johnson family’s adopted daughter Sherilyn’s birthday celebration–so that must be Sherilyn.” 

“Sherilyn?” 

Even after so many years, that name still held significant renown in Sunhaven. 

Everyone knew of her once unrequited love for Gilbert… 

“She’s back?” 

“She’s been back. The last family gathering at the Southern District Sanatorium was organized for her.” 

“No way? I didn’t see her last time.”
