Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 329

On a weekend.

Sherilyn arrived early at the entrance of Twilight Trail, waiting for Gilbert to pick her up.

Tonight, the entire Johnson family was planning to see her perform.

Her show was set to start at 8:20 PM, so Sylvia, taking charge as usual, suggested grabbing a meal at the Blue Plate Diner beforehand.

Gilbert pulled up less than five minutes later.

Getting out of the car, he looked a bit anxious, “Have you been waiting long?”

“Not at all,” Sherilyn shook her head, bending to get into the car, “It’s no big deal for me to come early. You’re so busy; you didn’t have to come pick me up. I could have made my way there.”

She had said as much over the phone earlier, but Gilbert hadn’t agreed.

Hearing her say it again made him slightly upset—was it really a matter of necessity?

Gilbert closed the car door, frowning slightly. “Sherilyn, I wanted to pick you up, and I should pick you up, you know?”

He was her boyfriend, after all. Wasn't it his basic right and duty to do so?

Sherilyn sensed his displeasure but didn’t understand the reason, and frankly, she didn’t bother to ask.

She nodded, feigning understanding. “Got it.”

But did she really?

Gilbert, somewhat doubtful, drove them to the Blue Plate Diner.

...

Inside the diner's private booth, Sylvia and the rest were already waiting.

“Sherilyn, come, sit here.”

Sylvia waved Sherilyn over, pulling her to sit by her side, with Caroline on the other. Francis and Gilbert were seated further away.

“It’s so nice.”

Sylvia felt sentimental seeing the two young people finding their way back to each other. “It’s like we’re meant to be one big family! Today, let’s enjoy a good meal together.”

One big family? That seemed a bit premature.

Sherilyn didn’t object, just smiled and said, “Then I’m in for a treat today. It’s been years since I’ve been to the Blue Plate Diner.”

She used to come here often with the Johnsons.
