Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 221

Because of Daphne, Derek had already pieced it together. That girl dancing at Neon Nights Bar was none other than Sherilyn! Wasn't Gilbert, after all the effort of getting her into the Lightning Dance Troupe, just trying to rekindle an old flame? Yet, why was she with Edgar?

"What are you looking at me for?" Gilbert gave him a sidelong glance, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "As Edgar’s cousin, even Yates is clueless? As her ex, I’m even more out of the loop."

"Man, oh man." Yates was totally in the dark. "I honestly had no idea. Man, this is messy. Can you imagine what my aunt and uncle would say if they found out?"

Meanwhile, Edgar let go of Sherilyn's hand and waved everyone over. "Come on, what are you doing over there?"

They all gathered around.

A bit sheepish, Edgar glanced at Sherilyn. "Let me properly introduce you to my girlfriend, Sherilyn."

"Hi, everyone." Sherilyn offered a shy smile.

Hmm. Gilbert silently scoffed, diverting his gaze. Women in love.

Edgar continued, "Sherilyn, you know everyone here. No need for formal introductions, right?"

"Yeah, of course." Sherilyn smiled, nodding.

Noticing Sherilyn holding onto a bag, Edgar asked, "What’s that? You’ve been holding onto it for a while. Isn’t it heavy?"

"Not at all." Sherilyn smiled, shaking her head. "It’s a birthday present for you."

"Really?" Edgar's eyes sparkled with anticipation, a wide grin spreading. "You got me a birthday present?"

"You..." Sherilyn couldn't help but laugh. "I came for your birthday. How could I not bring a gift?"

She bit her lip, looking a bit embarrassed. "It’s nothing fancy, though. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t like it. Just dispose of it quietly."

Much like Gilbert once did.
