Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 330

"This one's totally guilt-free, you can have as much as you want."

Sherilyn was in a bit of a pickle. Her plate was already loaded with a generous helping that Sylvia had served her. "Don't add more to the chaos, I won't be able to finish it all, and it'll just go to waste."

"It's fine," Gilbert dismissed with a nonchalant shake of his head. "You go ahead and eat. Whatever you can't finish, I'll take care of."

Then, he flashed her a grin.

Across the table, Caroline watched the exchange, a bitter taste forming in her mouth.

Was she even visible to this family anymore?

Sherilyn lowered her gaze to her plate, her long hair cascading down in front of her. Gilbert reached out to gently push it behind her ear.

"I've got it."

She casually pulled out a hairband from her bag and twisted her hair into a quick bun.

Caroline's gaze froze—wasn't Sherilyn's hairband the exact same one Gilbert had lost the other day?

She understood now. Was the hairband Sherilyn's? Or perhaps, had Gilbert bought it for her?

Either way, how intriguing, very intriguing indeed...

As they neared the end of their meal, Sherilyn excused herself to the restroom.

Upon her return, she found Caroline at the vanity, touching up her makeup in the mirror.

Sherilyn didn't bother with her and bent down to wash her hands.

"Sherilyn."

Sherilyn paused, slightly taken aback, and looked up at Caroline. Did she just call her?

"Could you?" Caroline asked with a smile, nodding towards her makeup bag on the countertop. "Can you grab me a makeup remover pad? My lipstick's all smudged."

Then she lifted her hands, both occupied, "I can't do it myself."

Sherilyn stared at her for a moment, took a deep breath, and opened the makeup bag.
