Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 678

Continuing our conversation from before.

"You're fretting over nothing. If she had chosen me, it would have been decades ago, not today."

Sounds like there's a story there?

Sherilyn was intrigued, "She actually made a choice?"

How curious, the Johnson brothers, both highly sought after, and there was Caroline, lucky enough to even have a choice?

"Come on, spill it. How did she choose? Which of you professed your love first? Or was it a joint confession?"

"What are you even saying?"

Knowing she was veering off track again, Gilbert couldn't help but laugh, "It wasn't like that at all."

The story goes back to when they had just been brought back to the Johnson household.

Back then, Gilbert's world consisted of only two people, his brother Francis and Caroline.

For Francis, Gilbert had an absolute brotherly adoration. He idolized his older brother, hanging on his every word without question, the epitome of obedience.

As for Caroline, since she was a girl, Gilbert only had feelings of protection towards her.

To put it dramatically, if she wanted the moon, he would've found a way to pluck it from the sky for her!

Francis was the same towards her.

As they grew older, whispers started spreading.

Rumors about the Johnson brothers falling for the same girl spread like wildfire...

It was then Gilbert realized, a girl couldn't accept the affections of two men at the same time...

Even though at that time, his feelings were purely of goodwill.

Eventually, the rumors reached Sylvia's ears, and the family matriarch couldn't tolerate such a scandal.

Moreover, having lost her own children, she only had her two grandsons left.
