Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 382

Gilbert's face was looking all broody like a tempest tossing, his response was super vague. "Looks like we've got a bit of a misunderstanding here."

"Misunderstanding?"

Caroline didn't buy that for a second. "Looks to me like it's all one-sided, on her part. No, not misunderstandings, slander!"

But back then, he hadn't cared for her this much!

He had changed!
