Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 610

"Awesome!" Jenna's excitement was palpable as she nodded vigorously, a sudden thought making her turn towards Sherilyn.

"Mommy, can we please?" she pleaded.

"Jenna…" Sherilyn frowned, hesitant to agree, "Sophia has already prepared dinner."

"Oh."

At that, Jenna's spirit deflated, her lips pouting in disappointment.

"Sherilyn," Gilbert interjected, his voice laced with concern, "it's just dinner. Jenna and I haven't spent time together in ages."

"Mommy, please?" Jenna's eyes were wide with hope, looking earnestly at her mother.

Faced with their pleading, Sherilyn felt like the 'villain' of the piece.

After a moment of hesitation, Sherilyn finally nodded, "Alright."

"Yes!" Jenna's cheer filled the room as she waved her arms excitedly. "Let's go, let's go! Time for a treat!"

Gilbert pinched her nose affectionately. "What treat would Jenna like?"

"Cake! Blueberry cake!"

"Alright. I will get you one," Gilbert agreed, a hint of sadness in his tone. Jenna, I wish I could tell you I'm your dad, not just a mister.

Driven by Jenna's craving for cake, Gilbert drove to The Crimson Table.

Once there, Jenna immediately clamored for cake. "Sir!"

"Got it," Gilbert signaled with an OK gesture.

"Not so fast," Sherilyn interjected sternly. "Dinner first. If you have cake now, you won't eat your dinner."

"Oh." Jenna pouted but didn't dare argue with her mom, instead turning hopeful eyes to Gilbert.

But Gilbert was no help, siding with Sherilyn. "Mom's right. We eat dinner first."

Jenna sighed. This gentleman is not so heroic after all. Mom's the real boss!
