Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 262

Watching, Derek couldn’t help but glance at Gilbert.

“What are you looking at me for? Did I make things better for them?” Gilbert shot him a glare, pulled out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a deep drag.

See. He had always said she and Edgar were a mismatch. A divorced woman with no solid family backing her up—how could Edgar’s blue-blooded family ever agree to that? Only Sylvia had such whimsical ideas.

Derek looked away, then asked Yates, “So where’s Edgar now? How’s he holding up?”

“He’s got friends; he’s staying with one of them.” Yates shook his head. “But, from what he told me, Sherilyn has cut him off, even blocked him.”

“What?” Derek was startled. “So he ended up with nothing?”

Yet he could understand. “Sherilyn’s not in the wrong here. Clinging to Edgar under these circumstances would just show a lack of maturity…”

“How is that showing a lack of maturity?” Gilbert, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up in disagreement.

He put out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray, crushing it fiercely, “Was it Sherilyn clinging to Edgar? Or was it Edgar who willingly got involved?”

He knew Sherilyn’s situation from the start. “If he initiated it, he needs to see it through!”

The room fell silent at his words. Derek and Yates exchanged glances, but neither of them said a word..

Finally, his gaze shifted, spotting her.
