Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139 

At the same time, Edgar’s phone buzzed; it was his friend looking for him. 

“Go ahead,” Sherilyn said with a warm, inviting smile. 

“Yeah, sure.” 

As Edgar stood up, he mustered all his courage, “Sherilyn… can we exchange numbers?” 

It wasn’t too much to ask for. 

“Of course.” Sherilyn smiled and nodded, and they quickly swapped numbers. 

“Done!” Edgar’s face brightened with joy, his happiness evident. 

Waving at Sherilyn, he said, “I gotta go now, see you.” 

“Yeah, see you.” 

The birthday bash was lively, with Sylvia being the star of the show, ensuring everyone had a good time. 

Her energy waning, the task of seeing off the guests fell to Gilbert and Sherilyn. 

From a distance, Edgar watched her. Their eyes met. He gave her a smirk and held up his phone – a silent message to stay in touch. 

Sherilyn gave a small smile and nodded, an unspoken conversation noticed only by the observant eyes beside her… 

Once the guests were gone, it was finally over. 

Sherilyn breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing her neck as she made her way upstairs. 

Thinking about the exhausting evening, she planned to practice for half an hour before taking a shower and hitting the bed. 

Reaching the second floor, a scoff suddenly broke the silence. 

Sherilyn looked up, puzzled. 

Gilbert’s gaze was cold, his smirk mocking. “Enjoying yourself, are you?” 

“Huh?” Sherilyn was taken aback. Was she? 

“What’s got you so happy?” he prodded. 

She stayed silent, but Gilbert wasn’t letting it go, “Come on, share the joy, will you?” 

His sarcasm made Sherilyn frown, “It’s my birthday, can’t I be happy? Should I be miserable instead?“/

“Sherilyn!” Suddenly, Gilbert’s tone shifted, his grip tightening around her waist as he pinned her against the wall. 

Lifting her off her feet, Sherilyn found herself trapped! 

Before she could react, his face loomed closer, and his warm lips claimed hers. The kiss was 

deep, leaving no room for breath, their breaths mingling in the heat of the moment. 

Sherilyn’s eyes widened in shock, her mind went blank, and her hands trembled… 

What was he doing? 

“Mmm…” Realizing what was happening, she struggled. 

But Gilbert was too strong. She couldn’t break free 

In desperation, she bit down hard! 

“Ugh!” Gilbert winced in pain, releasing her. The taste of blood filled his mouth. 

“Sherilyn, are you crazy?”
