Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 402

"Got it!"

With fury boiling inside, Gilbert had no choice but to back down, releasing Sherilyn from the car.

The 'new girlfriend' immediately caught up, tentatively, her hand trembling as she reached out to loop her arm through his.

Gilbert glanced down at her, a look that almost smeared her makeup with fear.

But luckily, Gilbert didn’t scold her, nor did he push her away!

As they walked ahead, Sherilyn hurried after them, "Gilbert, about what happened earlier, what do you think? Is it a deal?"

"Hmm." Gilbert, hands in his pockets, turned around and lifted his eyelids slightly. "Let me think about it."

With that, he walked away without looking back, arm still entwined with his 'new girlfriend'.

What? This response took Sherilyn by surprise. He needed to think about it? Even when it involved Caroline?

But how long would he take?

Every moment he took to think, Rebecca would suffer another day. If this went on too long, it might even jeopardize her position in the dance troupe.

What to do?

"Sherilyn." Unexpectedly, Charles turned back, offering his arm. "Mr. Gilbert means for you to wait inside. Please..."

"Okay, thank you." Sherilyn nodded, seeing this as a glimmer of hope.

She thought so, how could he not care about Caroline? Making her wait, not agreeing immediately was his way of avenging Caroline, making Sherilyn squirm.

...

It was a gala.

The hall was filled with faces Sherilyn recognized, but none that mattered to her.

She found a corner to stay in, occasionally glancing up to see where Gilbert was.

Sherilyn squinted her eyes, focusing on the 'new girlfriend' by his side, who looked somewhat familiar. Maybe from TV? Like Caroline, was she a celebrity?
