Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 267

Sherilyn swiped her phone awake, her eyes landing on Edgar's message first.

"Sherilyn, I'll sort things out at home. It's okay if you don't want to talk to me right now. I'll prove to you that I'm not giving up on you."

After reading, Sherilyn closed her eyes for a moment. She was touched by Edgar's persistence yet saddened by it.

What did she have that made her worth such effort?

She exited the chat with Edgar without replying. Not getting a response might make Edgar give up. Ending it now would be the least painful for him.

Then, she opened Gilbert's chat.

"Sherilyn, I saw Edgar. Are you okay?"

Her brows furrowed after reading. How had he seen Edgar? Hadn't he left? Did he go back? Why would he go back? There was more than one message from him.

"I found your hair tie in my car. I'll bring it back to you."

So that was it. Sherilyn touched her wrist, noticing her hair tie was indeed missing. She typed a response.

"It's just a hair tie. You can throw it away."

At that moment, Gilbert was sitting in his car, parked at the entrance of Twilight Trail, holding a burgundy hair tie adorned with a few faux pearl beads in his hand. Seeing Sherilyn's reply, he glanced at the hair tie and muttered, "Throw it away?"

He picked up his phone, replying, "I'm at the trailhead. I can drop it off, no trouble."

Sherilyn quickly replied, "It's fine. Besides, I'm not at Serenity Street right now."

Not at Serenity Street? Gilbert's heart skipped, realizing Sherilyn might be avoiding Edgar. Was that why she wasn't home?

A small smile appeared on his lips, accompanied by an unexpected surge of excitement.

"Where are you then?"
