Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 388

A moment of dead silence.

Gilbert managed to squeeze out a smile, his face a shade paler, "Why? Haven't I been good to you?"

"Uh-huh." Sherilyn shrugged, candidly saying, "Nope, aside from the whole Caroline incident, you've been pretty decent to me."

Mentioning that, she suddenly sat up straight, looking at him seriously.

"Thanks for everything... really."

For giving Jenna a glimmer of hope.

For that, this thank you, he truly deserved.

What a mess, all because of the argument this morning!

Gilbert laughed, his voice cool but laced with deep sarcasm, "Just because of a fight, we're breaking up? Which couple doesn't argue? Sherilyn, are you in middle school? It's both impulsive and childish!"

"It doesn't matter."

Sherilyn shrugged, "You can think that I am impulsive and childish, but I've made up my mind. We're breaking up."

"Sherilyn."

Gilbert got a bit anxious, his narrowed eyes, "Can't you be reasonable? Weren't you at fault too, this morning?"

"Yeah, I was wrong." Sherilyn admitted quickly, "I shouldn't have spilled Caroline's dumplings, that was my mistake."

Gilbert could tell she wasn't really sorry, "Apology accepted, but do you really think you were wrong? There's no need for insincere apologies."

"It's not that..."

Sherilyn chuckled softly, "I do know I was wrong."

"In that case..."

"But," Sherilyn cut Gilbert off, a silent cold smile on her lips, "I admit my mistake—but listen carefully, you've upset me, and I don't want to continue with you. This is the end."

Saying so, she picked up her glass and finished off the remaining milk. Couldn't let it go to waste.

After saying that, she took small, quick steps toward Rebecca.

"I'm here! Have you been waiting long?"

"Not at all, just got here." Rebecca linked arms with her, "Let's go. It's so cold!"

"Yes, it is."

In the café, Gilbert remained in the same position, watching as Sherilyn just walked away.

He was so naive!

To think everything was okay between them!

Little did he know, Sherilyn had pulled a fast one on him, kicking him to the curb!

For the first time at his age, he was pursuing a woman, and to think, his first attempt ended in being dumped! So unexpectedly!

He felt both frustrated and humiliated. But the worst part, the part he couldn't even begin to describe, was how unbelievably awful he felt??
