Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 405

"What on earth are you talking about?" Sherilyn was shocked.

What kind of relationship do they have? Promises, really?

What baffled Sherilyn the most was why he was so hell-bent on staying with her.

She racked her brain for reasons. "Do you think I'm easy to manipulate?"

"Easy to manipulate?" Gilbert chuckled.

That was the joke of the century!

Sherilyn got the irony, retorting, "I don't get along with Caroline, and you still want to push this forward. That means I'll inevitably run into her again. We'll end up arguing, maybe even getting into a physical altercation like last time on set!"

She really didn't get it. "Doesn't that bother you?"

Who dates just to find trouble?

Bringing someone home only to end up fighting every day... Is he out of his mind, or does he have a penchant for punishment?

Gilbert's lips curled into a smirk, his eyebrows lifting. "Oh, what, you're worried about me?"

Sherilyn was both furious and speechless.

"It's still the same," Gilbert said, his smile widening, indulging in his fantasies since, after all, dreaming was tax-free.

"Whether you want to control me or you're worried about me, you'll need to be my girlfriend first. We're nothing right now, so this... it's not appropriate."

Sherilyn took a deep breath, her fists clenching silently.

Did he think she was joking? Rebecca was still in detention, waiting for a lifeline!

In a fit of rage, she glared at Gilbert. "Oh, high and mighty Mr. Gilbert, in your eyes, are the lives of ordinary people just playthings to be tossed around at whim?"

Gilbert paused, let out a sigh, and looked down.

"Playthings? You saying one word can determine mine and your friend's fate. If anyone's being manipulated, it's you manipulating me."

What kind of nonsense was that?!

Sherilyn's gaze hardened, locking eyes with him.

In that moment, there was no laughter, no anger... no emotion at all, just a steady gaze.

Intense, yet pure.
