Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 541

"Look..."

"Look..."

Both of them hesitated for too long, and when they finally spoke, they did so in unison, leading to a shared laugh.

"You go first," Edgar gestured to Sherilyn.

Nodding, Sherilyn cautiously observed his expression, "You're doing alright, aren't you? Don't be too hard on yourself."

She was referring to the situation with Yuna.

"Yeah." Edgar's smile curved, "I know."

Truth be told, he was embarrassed to admit that he wasn't exactly heartbroken but rather felt a sense of relief.

Being with Yuna was more of his mother's, Adela's, doing than his own. He had agreed to it under the relentless pressure from his mother.

Logically, finding out Yuna was two-timing should have infuriated him. Yet, he felt... nothing.

Because his feelings for her were lukewarm at best.

This realization spared him any sense of guilt.

As for being upset... there were other things on his mind.

"Sherilyn."

A mist seemed to gather in Edgar's eyes as he stuttered. "I'm sorry, I owe you an apology."

Sherilyn was taken aback, confusion spreading across her face.

Why was he saying this? He was here about Yuna, wasn't he? But it didn't sound like it?

A crimson hue filled Edgar's eyes as he struggled to speak, his voice choked.

"Sherilyn, I've come to know..."

Know what? Sherilyn was still in the dark.

"That day..." Edgar continued slowly, "That day in Crestwood, you did nothing wrong. It was my mom... my mom who mistreated you!"

In that moment, tears surged from Sherilyn's eyes, blurring her vision as she covered her mouth.

Edgar knew! He actually knew!

She had thought this ugly incident would be forever buried with time. How did he find out?
