Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 706

Sherilyn's voice was hoarse, her spirit shattered, tears raging unchecked.

Her lips trembled, "Why do you have to push me like this?”

As her vision blurred, she accused, "When you despised me, you sent me away to another country without mercy. And now, you want me back, using our daughter to coerce me... Why do you push me like this…”

She looked at the man, both desperate and loathing.

“Gilbert! I hate you!”

Gilbert felt a sharp pang in his heart. Hate him? Then let it be hate, it was still better than losing her.

The man remained on one knee, reaching out again to take her hand, holding a ruby ring, extending it towards her left ring finger.

"Don't cry."

Gilbert let her go, his hands cradling her face, fingertips gently wiping away her tears, his voice filled with tenderness.

"Your eyes are all swollen. I'll have the waiter bring some ice. You'll need to apply it, or else it'll be hard to put on makeup for the set.”

Saying this, he leaned over to press the service bell.

"Waiter, come in…”

Shortly after, a waiter entered, “Mr. Johnson, how can I assist you?”
