Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 783

Gilbert swung open the car door and practically shoved Sherilyn inside.

"My car..." Sherilyn protested, anxiety evident in her voice. She had driven herself here.

"Give me your keys!"

He snatched the car keys from her hand. "I'll have someone drive it back to Sunset Ridge Community for you!"

With that, he climbed into the driver's seat. Callie tried to follow them into the car, but when she pulled on the door handle, it was locked.

She knocked on the car window, "Hey, open up!"

But Gilbert acted as if he hadn't heard her, completely ignoring her plea, and started the car, pulling away.

"Hey!"

Callie ran after the car for a few steps, puzzled, "What's going on?" Weren't they supposed to have broken up? In Mr. Gilbert's eyes, why did it seem like the moment he saw her, nobody else existed?

Inside the car, Sherilyn looked at Gilbert with confusion, "Why did you leave Callie behind?" Hadn't they just been all over each other a moment ago?

"Are you seriously worried about someone else right now?"

Gilbert glanced at the bloody mess on her forehead, feeling a mix of tenderness and irritation. "What was that woman's problem anyway?" He was referring to Yuna.

Sherilyn didn't want to answer, "It's nothing."

"She said you stole her man?" Gilbert scoffed coldly. "Who? That new boyfriend of yours?"

Sherilyn's mouth dropped open in surprise, bewildered by his leap in logic. But Gilbert took her silence as an admission of guilt.

His gaze grew colder, a mix of anger and resentment bubbling up. "You dumped me, just to run off with some two-timing pretty boy? Could your taste get any worse?"

Not wanting to listen to his baseless accusations, Sherilyn covered her forehead, leaned back in the seat, and closed her eyes.

"Sherilyn?"

Gilbert cautiously eyed her expression, "Is your headache really bad?"

"Mhm." Sherilyn nodded with her eyes still closed.

"Then I'll drive faster!"
