Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 451

"Jenna!"

Sherilyn never expected Jenna's reaction to be so explosive.

"What's going on here?"

Sophia was equally taken aback by the severity of the mother-daughter squabble.

She rushed over to console Sherilyn. "It's wrong for Jenna to accept gifts, but it's not worth falling out over, especially over a stranger. She's still so young, talk to her gently."

"You're right."

Sherilyn felt at a loss; she realized she had been too hasty. Why take out the frustrations she had with Gilbert on Jenna?

After calming herself, she knocked on Jenna's door, "Jenna, can Mom come in?"

Pushing the door open, she found Jenna buried under her blanket on the bed.

Sherilyn approached with a smile, "Jenna, it's Mom. I've come to apologize."

Jenna peeked out from under the blanket, revealing her big eyes.

"I'm sorry, Jenna." Sherilyn pursed her lips, her eyes slightly teary. "It was Mom's fault, I shouldn't have been harsh. Can you forgive Mom, please?"

"Mommy." Jenna's voice was soft as she leaped into her mother's arms.

The bond between mother and daughter, how could it be broken overnight?

"Mommy, don't be mad at Jenna, I get scared!"

"I'm sorry." Sherilyn was filled with regret. "It was my fault, I won't do it again."

As they embraced, Sherilyn gradually calmed down.

After some thought, she gently asked Jenna, "How did you meet that man, sweetheart?"

"At Crestwood."

Jenna tilted her head, recounting how she was bullied by other kids at Crestwood Hospital and how the man had stepped in to help her.

Sherilyn was taken aback... so it was that early?

Was their meeting destined by some unseen force?
