Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 205

She was all business.

Edgar couldn't help but let out a wry smile. Sherilyn had seen right through him and wasn't about to give him an inch.

But still, he tried, "Come on. Don't be so serious. I told you it was just a show, not for real."

But Sherilyn wouldn't expose him. She shook her head, firm in her resolve. "I can't do this. I don't want to drag you into the mess with Gilbert and me. I'll handle it myself."

She waved Edgar off. "It's getting late. You better head home. I'm off."

Sherilyn was puzzled. "What's going on?"

Sherilyn grabbed her phone and keys, locked the door behind her, and rushed downstairs.

But once she got there, Sherilyn looked around but couldn't see Edgar anywhere. "Where is he?"

"Sherilyn!" Sherilyn instinctively tensed at the sound of her name and turned to see who it was. Gilbert! Had he followed her there?
