Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 621

Sherilyn paused, a hint of surprise flickering in her eyes. Had he finally seen the light?

Although slightly puzzled by the sudden shift in his demeanor, the outcome was precisely what she had hoped for.

"Okay," Sherilyn said with a small, pursed-lip smile. "Take care, I'm off."

"You too..."

Edgar Ferguson nodded slightly, stepping out of the car to open the door for her.

Their eyes met, sharing a laugh.

Sherilyn waved at him. "I'm heading in. It's snowing; drive safely."

"I will. Go ahead, I'll wait till you're inside before I leave."

"Okay."

Sherilyn turned and walked away.

The moment she turned, the smile on Edgar's face vanished, leaving behind a depth of emotion in his eyes that couldn’t be easily dispelled.

Watching her retreating figure, he murmured softly, "Sherilyn, I'll wait for you."

He understood Sherilyn's predicament.

As a mother, her daughter had to come first... He couldn’t and wouldn’t compete with Jenna...

So, all he could do was wait.

Wait for the day Jenna was out of harm's way.

Until then, he couldn't pressure Sherilyn.

His decision to wait was voluntary, independent of her...

Perhaps, by then, Jenna would be better, and Sherilyn and Gilbert wouldn't end up together.

That would be his chance.

And if, contrary to his hopes, Sherilyn and Gilbert did end up together...

Then, he wouldn't have any regrets.

Edgar lifted a corner of his mouth, catching a falling snowflake, "This is my hope for myself."

After all, hope remained.
