Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 203

"What's up?" Sherilyn looked puzzled. "Something wrong?"

Edgar glanced at her, hesitating before speaking up. "I might be being a bit forward, but why do you seem so afraid of Gilbert?"

His voice sounded all gruff, like it was hard for him to ask, "Aren't you two... getting along now?"

"Getting along?" Sherilyn looked genuinely surprised. "Why would you think that?"

Edgar paused before admitting, "That's what Gilbert told me."

Before Sherilyn could respond, Edgar awkwardly chuckled. "Did you two fight? You know, it’s normal for couples to..."

"It's not that!" Sherilyn interrupted him sharply.

She pressed her lips tightly, her eyes welling up. "It's not a fight. Gilbert and I, there's no making up!"

Edgar was shocked, wondering what was going on. "You haven't made up? But then..."

Why would Gilbert say that? Edgar could see Gilbert's hostility toward him, seeing him as a love rival!

And then, seeing Sherilyn's reaction, Edgar had his suspicions. "Is it that Gilbert is the only one who wants this, and you don’t?"

Sherilyn was stunned, not expecting Edgar to guess so accurately. She didn't speak, but her expression said it all.

"Am I right?" Edgar's expression darkened, and he slammed his hand on the steering wheel, looking outraged. "That's just wrong! Gilbert's taking it too far!"

Matters of the heart should be mutual, not forced!

Edgar asked again, "But why run? Can't you talk to him?"
