Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 245

What? Sherilyn blinked in confusion, her thoughts scattered.

Why would he suddenly ask that?

"You heard me," Gilbert pressed, glancing at the side of the road where the sleek, silver Pagani was coming to a halt. Edgar was about to get out.

"Uh."

Given a choice between two options, Sherilyn didn't think twice. "Dancing," she answered.

I see...

Gilbert nodded silently, acknowledging her answer. As Edgar swung the car door open, Gilbert leaned in and took a seat.

The car drove off, and Edgar made his way over.

"Sherilyn."

Sherilyn watched the Bentley pull away, puzzled. Why did Gilbert seem so off?

...

Charles was getting somewhere with the Daphne investigation.

"Mr. Gilbert," Charles said, "turns out, this Daphne does have a weak spot."

"Oh?"

That's good news. A satisfied smirk appeared on Gilbert's lips as he remembered how much Sherilyn loved to dance.

"Let's hear it."

"Here's the thing—"

Daphne and Derek's mother had been best friends since childhood, but Daphne's in-laws were not as fortunate as Mrs. Brooks.

The Brooks family had always been part of the Sunhaven elite, while Daphne's in-laws had shown signs of decline in recent years.

Daphne's own family, though scholarly, couldn't offer much support in this regard.

Her in-laws were struggling more than ever these past few years.

This was Gilbert's opportunity.

...

Daphne's heart skipped a beat. That explains why Mr. Johnson suddenly offered to help her husband!

To agree or not?

Her husband had already accepted the benefits.

If she now refused and went back to convince her husband to reject the Johnsons' help, would that be possible?

She could imagine her husband not only refusing but their marriage hitting a rough patch because of it.

It's true what they say, money can make anything happen.

Even someone as proud as Daphne couldn't help but yield.

Daphne looked at Gilbert helplessly, "Mr. Johnson, how could I possibly refuse?"

"Ah, please don't," Gilbert kept smiling, but it was obviously polite and distant.

"What I want is for you to genuinely accept Sherilyn. She'll be dancing under your guidance, and she'll need your care."

With a deep breath, Daphne made her decision.
