Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?
Chapter 1014

Waving them off, he reminded the caretaker not to forget her duties.

"Josie, let's head out."

"Yeah, sure."

As the caretaker wheeled Caroline away, the spacious living room was left with only the brothers, Sherilyn, and Rebecca White. Francis looked up at Rebecca White.

It wasn't just him; at that moment, all eyes were on her.

Gilbert had already returned to the Harrison family estate. With Caroline moving back in, it was clear who she was here for.

It went without saying.

"Gilbert."

Francis turned to his brother, "That's enough for today. You take Sherilyn and Jenna home."

"Alright."

Gilbert nodded, understanding that his older brother was eager to soothe Rebecca White.

And there was also the trouble with Caroline.

...

As the car left the Johnson Mansion, Sherilyn couldn't help but frown, "We should have taken Rebecca White with us."

The thought of her staying there, how awkward must it be?

Gilbert chuckled softly, "Big bro wouldn't have agreed to that."

Sherilyn shot up, staring at him intently.

"What's up?" Gilbert squirmed under her gaze, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hmph. Sherilyn smirked, a meaningful smile playing on her lips, "It's because of you, isn't it?"

"Huh?" Gilbert was taken aback, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Because you ignored her," Sherilyn pointed out sharply, "She really is 'flexible'. Before, unable to accept James, she broke up with my brother and turned to you." "And now? When she couldn't get her way with you, she runs back to my brother? Like a monkey, hopping between you two brothers! Quite the jumper!"

Wanting to steer clear of trouble,

Gilbert quickly interjected, "How did this get to me? She didn't really like me. She leaned on me because she was frustrated with my brother... and besides, I don't like her

Pausing, he then looked at her intently, "What kind of person do I like, don't you know?"

His gaze was intense, his words clear. "Stubborn and clingy, never letting go."

He was talking about her.

"..." Sherilyn opened her mouth to object.

"Want to argue with me?"

Gilbert raised an eyebrow, cutting her off, "Then tell me, if I was truly deeply in love with her, and now that there's nothing standing between us, why am I not with her?"

That...

Sherilyn was stunned, speechless, seemingly unable to argue.

"Silly."

Seeing her dazed expression, Gilbert felt a pang in his heart, "How many times have I told you, I only felt gratitude towards her."

He raised his hand intending to ruffle her hair.

However, Sherilyn instinctively turned her head away, leaving Gilbert's hand awkwardly suspended in mid-air.

It was awkward for both of them.

Every time he got close, she couldn't help but be reminded of him and Karol... her body would instinctively reject him.

Like a reflex.

Gilbert understood that the 'Karol incident' was a thorn in Sherilyn's heart.

But he didn't know how to remove it.

The atmosphere became momentarily stagnant.

Sherilyn pursed her lips, breaking the silence, "Based on what you know about my brother, what will he do?" "From what I see?"

Gilbert pulled a face, retracting his unsuccessful attempt, and sighed wasn't sure before, but now, I
