Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 377

Could this 'he' possibly refer to Francis?

Gilbert frowned, full of confusion.

In his mind, Francis and Caroline had always had a stable relationship. He couldn't recall a single instance where they had argued.

Francis, especially, always accommodated Caroline in every little thing. But what's been going on lately?

Ever since Francis woke up, there seemed to be issues between them.

But there was no way Gilbert would turn Francis away. "Caroline, whatever it is, wait until Francis comes in. You guys gotta fix this up in person, okay?"

He turned and opened the door.

Soon after, Francis wheeled himself in, snowflakes dotting his hair and coat.

"Caroline."

He maneuvered his wheelchair straight toward Caroline. "Don't disturb Gilbert and Sherilyn. It's late, and they need their rest. Come back with me."

"I won't!" Unsurprisingly, Caroline refused to go with him. Her eyes reddened, she scoffed, "So eager to whisk me away, huh? Scared I'll spill something I shouldn't?"

Her gaze briefly flickered towards Sherilyn.

Huh? Sherilyn was puzzled. Why was she being looked at? What did their argument have to do with her?

Caroline continued, "Scared your brothers and sisters will discover their super 'upstanding' bro is really a double-dealing jerk?"

What? Sherilyn was taken aback. What was this about?

She glanced at Gilbert, who seemed unfazed. Did he know about this?

"Caroline."

Francis' brows furrowed, his usually serene and handsome face shadowed with conflict.

Patiently, he tried to coax her, "Come back with me, please? It's not what you think."

"I won't!"

No matter what he said, Caroline was unmoving. "Just go! I don't want to see you!"

"Caroline!"

Francis reached out, his hand gripping her arm. "What's this about making a scene at Gilbert and Sherilyn's place?"
