Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 214

Gilbert was deep in thought. ‘Is that so? Really? Yeah, that's how it is. It’s exactly like that. There’s no doubt about it.’

...

The next day was Saturday. Gilbert didn't expect to see Sherilyn chatting with Sylvia when he came downstairs.

"Up and about?" Sylvia waved him over as soon as she saw him. "Perfect timing. We've got something to discuss with you."

"What's up?" Gilbert sprawled onto the couch, grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl, and started peeling it slowly.

"Here's the thing." Sylvia began, "You need to pick a date to go with Sherilyn and get that divorce finalized."

Startled, Gilbert mechanically lifted his gaze to Sherilyn. Was this what she came over so early for?

Meeting his look, Sherilyn nodded slightly, speaking softly and slowly, "I had a promise to keep with Sylvia. Now that I'm not alone, I want to move forward with Edgar, which means getting the paperwork done."

"Exactly." Sylvia nodded in agreement. "We need to sort it out quickly. If the Ferguson family catches wind that the documents are unfinalized, that's another mess!"

Sylvia glared at Gilbert. "You need to set a time today. If you mess this up for Sherilyn, I won't let it slide!"

At first, it was about giving Sherilyn a way out, but that was no longer necessary.

"Alright, got it." Gilbert flipped through his phone.

Sylvia kept nagging. "The sooner, the better."

Gilbert frowned, irritated, and blurted out, "How about first thing Monday morning?"

"Monday morning? Won't that interfere with work?" Sylvia was concerned.

"No worries." Gilbert shook his head. "I'll head in a bit later. It won't cause any major issues."
