Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 827

Early morning.

Sherilyn and Rebecca White descended the stairs together. Rebecca was heading to her morning job, while Sherilyn planned to visit the nearby farmers' market to buy Jenna's favorite crab and cheese ravioli. Rebecca had returned late the previous night and was leaving early this morning, which worried Sherilyn about her sister's health.

"If you're struggling to pay back our brother, you can borrow from me. Don't wear yourself out."

"No way."

Rebecca flatly refused, "Borrowing money to pay a debt is just robbing Peter to pay Paul."

She chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I was up late working on reports, and today I have the early shift..."

Her words trailed off as she suddenly tugged on Sherilyn's arm. "Sherilyn."

"What's up?"

"Look over there."

Rebecca pointed toward a sycamore tree at the corner, "Isn't that Gilbert's car?"

Sherilyn looked over and nodded, "It is."

Frowning, she walked straight toward the tree.

Seeing her approach, Gilbert stepped out of the car and stood waiting.

With an awkward smile, he greeted, "Sherilyn."

"Why are you here?"

Sherilyn's voice was soft but filled with confusion and displeasure, "Don't tell me you've been here all night?"

Gilbert swallowed hard and nodded. "Yes."

"Yes?" Sherilyn paused, "Why?"

"I was worried about you!"

Seeing Sherilyn's displeasure, Gilbert hurriedly explained, "I was afraid Malvina would bother you again!"

"Why are you worried about me?"

Sherilyn remained unmoved, her smile faint, "Didn't you promise me?"

Gilbert struggled for words, finally shaking his head, "I haven’t forgotten."

[I won’t bother you for any reason.]

That was his promise to her.
