Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 266

Gilbert dropped Sherilyn off at the entrance to Twilight Trail.

"Thanks," Sherilyn said, pushing the car door open.

"Sherilyn," Gilbert called out just as she was stepping out.

"Hmm?" She turned around, puzzled, looking at him. Was there something else?

"Uh..." Gilbert pointed to her eye. "Don't forget to ice it, or you'll have trouble looking your best on stage tomorrow."

Was that all he wanted to say?

"Got it, thanks." Sherilyn got out of the car and headed down the alley.

Watching her silhouette disappear into the distance, Gilbert slightly squinted, feeling an itch in his heart, as if thousands of ants were crawling inside.

In that moment, he had actually wanted to ask if things were truly over between her and Edgar.

But the words never made it out.

Because...

Even if things were over between her and Edgar, what did it have to do with him?

Right, what did it have to do with him?

Gilbert drove off, leaving his thoughts behind.

...

As Sherilyn walked down the alley, she felt a strange sense of foreboding. Even from a distance, she spotted Edgar!

Somehow, he had arrived before her and was waiting right at the entrance to her building!

Instantly, Sherilyn's breath hitched, "Edgar..."

She should have known he wouldn't give up that easily.

Sherilyn turned around and ran back towards the entrance of Twilight Trail.

Unaware, Edgar continued waiting below...

Out of breath, Sherilyn reached the entrance of Twilight Trail, feeling clueless about what to do next. She couldn't go back to her apartment, but where else could she go?

The house Gilbert had offered her wasn't an option yet since she hadn't received the keys, and transferring property ownership was more complicated than simply handling cash.

After a moment's thought, she took out her phone, scrolled through her contacts, and dialed a number.
