Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 538

How much of their conversation had Edgar caught?

His dark eyes, usually calm and handsome, now swirled with barely contained anger. "Mom, what exactly did you do back then?"

"Son..."

This was bad news!

Adela's eyes popped wide open in panic as she quickly grabbed Edgar's arm, "Let me explain, please..."

"Alright!" Edgar fixed a stern gaze on his mother. "Explain then. I'm all ears."

"Oh, Edgar..."

Adela was nearly in tears from desperation! How could she explain? How could she have known that boasting in a moment of pride would blow the lid off past secrets?

"Speak up! What, got nothing to say?"

Edgar pursed his lips, his anger simmering, "What exactly did you do to Sherilyn?"

He had always thought his breakup with Sherilyn was because Gilbert had meddled in their affairs!

"Could it be..." Edgar's clear eyes darkened with realization. "My separation from Sherilyn wasn't because of Gilbert?"

"Son..." Adela was at a loss for words, for the truth was much uglier than he could imagine.

"What happened? Tell me!"

Edgar remembered Sherilyn's tears; they still pained him.

Back then, he felt deeply betrayed by Sherilyn...

But now, thinking back to the day he flew from Rainshore City to Crestwood, Sherilyn had seemed happy to see him...

He had felt sure she was about to accept him... But then, everything changed! Something wasn't right!

"Could it be?"

Without answers from Adela, Edgar could only speculate, "Sherilyn didn't leave willingly! Did you and Gilbert conspire to force her? Or set her up?"
