Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 800

"Thanks." Sherilyn accepted the flowers, studying him with curiosity, "This early, you...?"

"I couldn't wait any longer."

Edgar sheepishly scratched the back of his head, his eyes and brows filled with joy. "I wanted to tell you, I spoke with my parents last night, and they won't be interfering in our matters anymore!"

Sherilyn was shocked. He actually managed to convince Adela? But she couldn't share in his happiness.

"Edgar..."

A heavy feeling weighed on Sherilyn's heart, making it difficult for her to face Edgar. There were things she needed to say, "After everything that happened with Crestwood, and all that's happened recently, in my mind, we were over. I... never considered there could be anything between us again..."

"I understand."

The smile on Edgar's face faded slightly, a hint of defeat in his expression. "But now, can you consider it?"

Sherilyn was taken aback, surprised by his persistence. After a moment, she said, "Edgar, with everything going on, Jenna is about to have surgery, and my mind is just..."

"I understand."

He cut her off before she could finish, nodding with a guilty look. "Jenna's surgery is the most important thing."

He lowered his gaze to her, carefully choosing his words. "Our situation can wait. I just wanted you to know where my heart is."

His determination moved Sherilyn, yet she still couldn't agree. "Edgar, there's a saying, 'times change.' Do you understand what I mean?"

Indeed, there was a time when she thought about being with him. But that was in the past. Now, both the timing and her feelings were completely different.

Sherilyn shook her head, "Edgar, I can't..."

"Sherilyn!"

Just as she was about to reject him, Edgar interrupted her urgently, "Don't rush to say no, okay?"

He understood her point. "You might not want to now, but that doesn't mean you won't ever, right?"
