Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 213

Though Gilbert wore a smile, who was Sylvia kidding? Sylvia could see right through him. His smile was a thinly veiled blade.

"Gilbert!" Sylvia's voice dropped to a whisper as she gently shook her head at Gilbert, signaling him not to stir trouble.

Was he that flustered? Gilbert couldn't help but laugh bitterly. What did Grandma think he was up to?

The atmosphere turned icy.

Sherilyn and Edgar exchanged glances before standing up together.

"Sylvia," Edgar said with a smile, "Thanks for having us tonight. But it's getting late and Sherilyn and I should get going so you can get some rest. We'll head out now."

"Leaving already?" Sylvia quickly turned around, her smile awkward, yet she positioned herself before Gilbert.

"Yes," Sherilyn nodded, adding, "Sylvia, I'll visit you another day."

Under such circumstances, Sylvia didn't insist on them staying. She nodded, "Okay then, Edgar, take good care of Sherilyn for me. Make sure she gets home safe."

"Don't worry, Sylvia."

"Sylvia, goodbye."

As Sherilyn turned, Edgar offered his hand. She understood the gesture since Gilbert was watching.

Hesitating for a second, Sherilyn took his hand, gracing him with a smile. "Let's go."

Edgar smiled at her. "Alright."

Hand in hand, they walked out side by side.

Behind them, Gilbert chuckled. "Grandma, they've left. Can you let go of me now?"

Silent for a while, Sylvia finally released him, her gaze filled with concern. "Are you alright?"

Gilbert shook his arms. "What could be wrong with me?"
