Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 305

“Hey, hey... what are you up to?” Sherilyn watched in shock as Gilbert began undoing the buttons of his shirt, revealing a well-defined chest. He then unbuckled his belt and slid it out of the loops, leaving his trousers hanging loosely on his hips.

The sight was... provocative, leaving too much to the imagination.

He bent down, messed up her hair, and in doing so, wrinkled the sheets and the quilt.

“What are you even doing?” Sherilyn’s anxiety grew; this was just too weird!

Gilbert looked at her, his voice deep, as though he was merely stating a simple fact. "Sherilyn, I'm going to answer the door... Adela and Edgar are outside."

With that, he turned and walked towards the door.

Wait, Adela and Edgar?!

“No, don’t!”

Sherilyn’s voice halted him, tinged with desperation and a quiver that suggested tears. She realized what he was plotting! Dressed like this, with her shoulders bare in such an inviting manner... not just Adela and Edgar, anyone would jump to conclusions!

Sherilyn saw through Adela’s scheme. If that bully hadn’t been chased off by Gilbert, Adela would have shown up by now! All to show Edgar what a ‘cheap’ woman she was!

But what baffled her was, why, after rescuing her, would Gilbert want to harm her now?

“Gilbert, please don’t!”

Unable to make sense of it, Sherilyn could only plead, “Please, don’t do this.”

Gilbert paused, his back still to her. Don’t? Was she so unwilling to let go of Edgar? Unfortunately... he wasn’t about to compromise his own desires for someone else!
