Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



"You... Why do you think you can be all sweet with me? Have you forgotten? You betrayed me! Or, do you really think that by chopping off a finger, everything that happened before can just be swept under the rug?"

"I didn't! I wouldn't dare!"

Gilbert threw the covers aside and climbed out of bed, grabbing her hand.

In his eyes, there was a sea of guilt and remorse.

“I messed up. I'm begging for your forgiveness... Can you forgive me, please? I truly love you and Jenna!"novelbin

"...

Sherilyn glanced at his left hand, and found herself speechless, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

"Sherilyn!"

Gilbert dropped to his knees in front of her. "I was wrong, I was so wrong! I'm sorry!"

This was the second time he had knelt before her since the incident!

Sherilyn's eyes instantly welled up, her heart twisted in pain.

Her lips quivered as she reached out to pull him up, "What are you doing? Get up! Kneeling won't solve anything!"

"Then tell me... what will?"

Gilbert wrapped an arm around her legs, looking up at her, "Tell me! Whatever it is, I'll do it!"

"Why can't you understand?"

Sherilyn closed her eyes, tears spilling over. "What's done is done!"

"It's my fault!"

Gilbert's voice was hoarse with emotion, choking up, "I haven't had a single night of good sleep... All I see, awake or asleep, is you, Sherilyn. I miss you so much, too much!"

"Hmph. Haha..."

Sherilyn's face twisted, unsure of what expression to wear.

This man, willing to risk it all for her and Jenna, yet he had hurt her time and again...

"Jerk!"

Sherilyn, filled with rage, lifted her hands, fists clenched, and started pounding on him with all her might.

"Why would you do that? Why?"

"Sherilyn..."

Gilbert didn't fight back, instead, he held her tighter.

Pleading, "I've changed... just this once,

you! never happen again! I bed

you! Trust me! There won't be a next time!"

Swno

Sherilyn was exhausted, she dropped her hands, closed her eyes, and cried silently.

No next time?

She didn't know if he could keep that promise.

But could she get past this? The whole 'Karol' incident was a thorn in her heart!

Maybe, it would never be removed!

Sherilyn gathered the dirty laundry, "You should get some sleep, I'll be next door."

"Okay." Gilbert nodded, not trying to stop her.

Sherilyn stayed with him, and neither had a good rest that night.

Waking up again, the room was bathed in sunlight.

As Gilbert opened his eyes, he saw a soft, sweet presence by his side, his expression instantly softening.

Jenna was there, with Sherilyn beside her, sitting on the edge of the bed playing with toys.

"Mr. Gilbert!"

Jenna turned around, a bright smile on her face, "You're awake?"

Sherilyn sighed helplessly, "She's been insisting on seeing you, I had to promise her she wouldn't disturb your sleep before bringing her here."

"It's fine."

Of course, Gilbert didn't mind.

His phone started ringing, it was Sherilyn's.

"Hello? Sophia."

UMS

It was Sophia calling from Sunset Ridge Community, her tone sounded urgent and a bit scared. "Sherilyn! There's someone at the house... they said they're here to help us move?"
