Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



"What?"

Sherilyn was confused, "Who?"

"Just hang on a sec..."

It sounded like Sophia was handing her phone to someone else, and then a male voice came through. "Ms. Gomez, it's me. I'm here to help with the moving."

That voice, Sherilyn recognized it, "Nolan?"

Why was he going to Sunset Ridge Community?

Sherilyn looked up at Gilbert, "Did you send Nolan to Sunset Ridge Community?"

"No."

Gilbert looked puzzled as he shook his head and reached out, "Give me the phone, let me see what's going on."

"Here."

Gilbert took the phone, "Nolan, it's me."

"Mr. Nine. Here's the thing..."

Nolan explained everything.

He had gone to Sunset Ridge Community on Naylor's orders.

"The boss said to have Ms. Gomez and Miss Jenna move in with you, to give you peace of mind."

"Got it. I'll call you back."

Gilbert hung up and handed the phone back to Sherilyn.

"What happened?" Sherilyn hadn't caught their entire conversation, "Did Nolan leave? Did Sophia get scared again...?" "Sherilyn."

Looking into her beautiful face, Gilbert's eyes flickered with guilt. "Nolan, he'll help Sophia... pack up." "Huh?"

Sherilyn was surprised, tilting her head slightly, "Pack up? For what?"

She suddenly stood up, remembering what Naylor had said before.

"Are you really going to force me?"

"Listen to me!"

Seeing her getting worked up, Gilbert firmly grabbed her hand.

"Given the current situation, moving to Blue Haven with Jenna is the safest option. You don't want to go through something like this again, do you?" His own safety was trivial, but not Jenna's.

This time Jenna was just scared, but she hadn't fully recovered yet.

What about next time? Could he ensure Jenna Elizabeth would be safe?

And then there was Sherilyn. There were times he couldn't look after both mother and daughter.

Sherilyn couldn't argue with that, her brow furrowing in distress.

"But..."

Moving in with him? She knew all too well what he was thinking.

"Sherilyn, don't feel pressured."

Gilbert's gaze enveloped her, deep and dark.

"You and Jenna moving in is for your safety. I promise... don't worry about what I'm thinking. You know I wouldn't and couldn't force you to do anything you're uncomfortable with, right?"

Sherilyn believed him on that.

But she still couldn't decide right away.

Meanwhile, Jenna looked from Mr. Gilbert to her mom, not fully understanding.

Suddenly, she rushed to Sherilyn. "Mommy!"

Hugging her tightly, she murmured into her shoulder, "No bad guys bullying mommy! Mr. Gilbert will chase them all away!"

For Gilbert, this was a significant nudge.novelbin

"Sherilyn..."

Gilbert seized the moment to coax her, "How about moving to Blue Haven Just for a while, until I sort out the Harrison family issue. then I'll find you a new place."

Truth be told, Sunset Ridge Community wasn't suitable anymore.

The old neighborhood wasn't just rundown, it lacked privacy and security. Sherilyn had made a name for herself in the entertainment industry and was only going to get more famous.

Holding Jenna, Sherilyn pondered, finally nodding, "...Okay."

Besides, even if she disagreed, Nolan wouldn't listen to her. And honestly, she was scared...

Even if there was the slightest chance of danger, she couldn't bear the thought of Jenna facing any harm again.

"Sherilyn..." Gilbert's face lit up with joy.
