Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 361

Francis sighed, "Gil has crossed the line. I'll have a word with him. Let's head back home, alright?"

Sherilyn froze. Since Francis had spoken, she felt she really couldn't refuse. Most importantly, she wasn't ready to cut ties with Gilbert yet!

"Gil."

Francis furrowed his brows, his voice deep and stern. "This is the first, and it will be the last time. Listen up! If you make Sherilyn cry again, I'll step in without her asking and ensure things between you two are over. Even if Grandma tries to intervene, it won't matter."

"Fran!" Gilbert shivered, his face tightening. He knew his brother well. Despite appearing calm, Francis was firm and detached, always sticking to his words!

Gilbert lowered his head, solemnly promising, "I won't, Fran. You can trust me."

After a moment, Francis looked at Gilbert and nodded. "Fine."

Then, he turned his wheelchair and left first. "Sawyer, let's go."

Sawyer followed closely, replying, "Yes, Mr. Francis."

...

"Sherilyn." Gilbert tentatively took Sherilyn's hand, kissing it gently. "Go home with me, will you? How can you stay here comfortably?"

Suddenly, Sherilyn felt exhausted. Already battered and bruised, a mix of despair and anger washed over her like a cold tide, leaving her suffocated and weak.

She closed her eyes, thinking, ‘Just let it be. Let Gilbert have his way.’

She couldn't drive him away. Jenna was returning soon after her vaccination, and if she ran into Gilbert, that would be the end!

Gilbert bent down, carefully lifting her in his arms. "Let's go home."

When they stepped out of the building, snow was gently falling.
