Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 207

The air was thick with hostility, a tension that seemed almost tangible.

Sherilyn feared the worst, worried they might come to blows.

“You’re asking for it!” As expected, Gilbert swung his arm the next second, landing a powerful punch on Edgar. The force knocked Edgar straight to the ground.

“Edgar!” Sherilyn was terrified, anger and anxiety bubbling inside her.

But the two men didn’t care about her worries at the moment. Though down, Edgar got back up quickly, launching a counterattack with a swift uppercut aimed at Gilbert.

Bam! Sherilyn couldn’t see where the punch landed, as Edgar’s back was to her, and she didn’t care. But then, the fight escalated, with punches and kicks flying between them.

Sherilyn watched, her heart in her throat, concerning Edgar’s safety. She might not know how to fight, but she could tell Edgar was starting to lose ground.

“Ugh...” A groan escaped Edgar as he got pinned to the ground by Gilbert.

“Trying to steal my girl?” Gilbert’s eyes were bloodshot, a hint of madness in his glare. “Over my dead body!”

That was a side of Gilbert Sherilyn had never seen before! As he raised his fist again, Sherilyn thought he might kill Edgar right there!

“Stop it!” Fear be damned, Sherilyn rushed forward, throwing herself before Edgar.

Gilbert’s raised fist, ready to strike, froze mid-air, trembling with restrained force.

“Move!” His voice was a growl, a stark command that echoed with intensity.

“No!” Sherilyn turned, her gaze fierce. “You want to hit someone? Hit me! I don’t want you! I love Edgar! Go ahead. Kill me!”

“Sherilyn?”

Was she this protective of Edgar? To the point of risking her life? Gilbert’s breath hitched. Even back in the days when she used to hover around him, Sherilyn was never this intense.

“What about me?” Gilbert couldn’t hide his resentment, “All this time, you never considered me once?”
