Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 271

Rebecca pointed at the pearls on her headband. "Look, Tahitian pearls. Good quality, though a tad small for a headband."

"Expensive?"

"Mmhmm..." Rebecca mused. "Just these? They've got to be worth at least a grand, right?"

She eyed Sherilyn, puzzled. "You didn't buy this yourself?"

"No." Sherilyn shook her head.

Every evening before a show, the dance troupe members would have dinner early.

Before putting on makeup, Sherilyn and Rebecca decided to grab something to eat at the commercial street next to their dance troupe.

On their way back, they saw a familiar figure under the streetlight from a distance.

Edgar, tall and noticeable, was holding a bag, eagerly waiting for Sherilyn to approach.

Rebecca glanced at Sherilyn, tactfully saying, "I'll go in first."

"Alright."

There was no avoiding it. Sherilyn walked up to Edgar and stopped in front of him, frowning slightly, "You..."

"Here."

Before she could finish, Edgar lifted the bag he was holding, which was filled with sweets from the Crimson Table.

Sherilyn didn't take it, sighing with a hint of frustration. "Edgar, why do you insist on turning me into someone I despise?"

"Don't be mad."

Edgar carefully watched her reaction, speaking softly, "I just... wanted to see you."

"Edgar..."

"I'm leaving Sunhaven tonight."

Fearful she would say something harsh, Edgar quickly interjected, "I won't be able to see you every day anymore."

What? Sherilyn was taken aback. What did he mean?

"Where are you going?"
