Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 677

Gilbert seemed lost in thought.

Even if it wasn't a joke, it must have been a moment of overwhelming sadness, a spur of the moment thing, blurted out in a rush of emotion...

Caroline and her brother's decade-long relationship coming to an end was a heavy blow for her.

All he could hope was that she would recover soon.

...

The next day, nearing noon.

Sherilyn was reviewing a script.

"Sherilyn!" Karol came running over to her, squeezing a playful wink, "Mr. Johnson's here."

In the midst of their conversation, Gilbert had already made his way over, pulling out a chair to sit in front of her.

Glancing at the script in her hand, "Got a scene this afternoon?"

"Yeah." Sherilyn responded nonchalantly, wondering why he'd come by in the middle of the day.

"Let's not worry about that now."

Gilbert closed the script in her hand, "It's almost lunchtime, let's grab a bite."

"I'll pass." Sherilyn immediately refused without a second thought, "I'm in costume, it's not convenient."

"It's no big deal."

Gilbert insisted, "We'll take my car, it's nearby. So what if people give us a few extra glances? You're an actress, aren't you used to being in the spotlight?"

Sherilyn frowned, still wanting to refuse.

Gilbert seemed to read her mind, "If you say no again, I'll invite the whole crew to join us for lunch—on your behalf."

"..."

Sherilyn frowned, did he really want to add more fuel to the rumors circulating in the crew?

Gilbert was clearly determined, and she was convinced that he and Caroline would eventually reconcile...

She was curious to see how he would face her then.

"Lunch it is, then."

Sherilyn stood up, Karol had already grabbed her coat, and Gilbert took it from her, "Let me."

He draped it over her shoulders. Holding her hand, he said warmly, "Let's go."
