Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 315

"What did he say?" Sherilyn slowly lifted her head, her eyes still glistening with unshed tears. That man, honestly... He'd go to the ends of the earth for Caroline. Maybe it was for Francis's sake too. The brothers were close. Was Gilbert worried he'd lose control and betray Fran?

A wave of sadness washed over Sherilyn, freezing her tears in place. "You're really something, you know that?" For Caroline, he was the perfect devotee.

"Sherilyn?" Gilbert looked genuinely confused. He didn't quite grasp what was going through Sherilyn's mind. But she just stared at him, her smile fading, and said seriously, "Can't you find someone else? Why does it have to be me?"

Gilbert blinked, perplexed. Was there another Sherilyn out there he wasn't aware of? He nodded. "Yeah."

"Hah, haha..." Sherilyn couldn't help but laugh, then stood up. As she rose, her balance wavered slightly, and Gilbert quickly reached out to steady her. "Careful."

Concerned after her recent bout of crying, he asked, "Feeling dizzy?" "I'm fine," Sherilyn shook her head, shrugging off his arm. "I get your point. I'm tired, I need some rest."

"I can walk you..." "No need!" Sherilyn spun around, glaring at him. "Stop following me! I told you, don't follow me!"

"Sherilyn..." Gilbert frowned, her behavior making him uneasy about letting her go off alone. "So you want me, huh?" Sherilyn said mockingly. "But you won't listen to what I have to say?"
