Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 261

Edgar was in a rush, pocketing his phone and dashing out the door. He had to see Sherilyn!

But as soon as he stepped out, his path was blocked by Adela.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Mom," Edgar was frazzled. "I'm an adult. I don't have to report everything I do to you, do I?"

Adela scoffed, "Not telling? Let me guess, you're hurrying off to see Sherilyn, aren't you?"

Edgar paused, not surprised Adela guessed. He hadn't planned on keeping it a secret anyway, so he might as well admit it openly, "Yes."

Adela laughed mockingly, pointing at him. "You dare step out of this house today and see what happens."

"Mom?" Edgar frowned, puzzled. "I'm not a kid anymore. You can't restrict my freedom like this."

"Freedom? Oh, now you talk about freedom?" Adela eyed him critically, not mincing her words. "What right do you have to say that? I raised you. Even the education you received was because of me! And now, you're working at the Ferguson Group, everything you have is because of this family!"

Hearing this, Edgar's face paled. "Mom, what are you trying to say?"

"What am I saying?" Adela's voice was cold. "If you're so blind that you want to be with Sherilyn, then you can leave the Ferguson family!"

Edgar was stunned. He hadn't thought of using this tactic to make his parents compromise, but his mother had brought it up first?

"I won't give up on Sherilyn." Edgar frowned, sighing deeply. "If that's how you want it... fine. I'll leave now."

With that, he turned back to his room.

Adela was taken aback, following him and watching as he began to pack his bags. Panicking, she said, "Don't think it's just about moving out! I'll freeze your credit cards too!"

Edgar was taken aback. "Mom?"
