Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"How did you find out?"

Sherilyn stared straight into the man's troubled, handsome face, her eyebrows arching slightly as she cut him off with a chilly tone.

"Where did I give myself away?"

"Here..."

Gilbert raised his hand, pointing to her temple, "The hairpin, I gave one to Jenna, there were two."

Really?

Sherilyn paused, raising her hand to touch her temple, indeed finding the hairpin there.

When had she put it on? Had Jenna put it there for her?

So, that's how it was. Unexpectedly, this was the reason...

Sherilyn let her hand drop, her lips curving into a mocking smile. Was this her downfall? After hiding for so long, to be exposed by something as trivial as a hairpin...

Probably not.

After all, this was the last resort she had left for herself and Jenna...

Only as a last resort...

Yet, life is unpredictable, and here she was, pushed onto this path without warning!

On one hand, Sherilyn felt a sense of relief; on the other, a new weight of pressure descended.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

What now?

She had imagined this moment countless times in her mind...

Yet, she remained composed.

Sherilyn smirked, looking directly at the man. "Aren't you going to ask who Jenna's father is?"

In that moment, only she knew how panicked she felt!

She wasn't sure about Gilbert's stance on Jenna. Would he accept her, or not? Jenna's future depended solely on his willingness to accept her.

Gilbert stiffened, a weight seemingly pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe or for his heart to beat smoothly.

Jenna was three years old now...

Sherilyn had left Sunhaven four years ago, minus the year of pregnancy...

Gilbert's lips parted, struggling to ask, "So Jenna is..."

...his child?

Sherilyn leaned back in her chair, her gaze cool. "I left Sunhaven already a month pregnant."

Gilbert faltered, murmuring, "Mine, she's mine..."

Indeed, Jenna was his child!

No wonder he and Jenna had an inexplicable bond.

"What now?" Sherilyn raised an eyebrow, "Doubtful? Then feel free to get a paternity test..."

"No!"

Gilbert hurriedly denied, his mouth dry, "I'm not doubting... I just..."

He was visibly anxious. "Why didn't you tell me back then?! Why be so stubborn? If you had told me..." "Told you?"

Sherilyn's eyelashes fluttered, finally

breaking into a cold laugh.

She nodded, "Yes, I didn't tell you. But did I even have the chance to tell you?"

The past was in the past, but that didn't mean it was forgotten! Nor did it mean it never happened!

"Mr. Gilbert, should I say you're forgetful or just prematurely senile?"

After a pause, she laughed again, her laugh carrying a desolate sorrow.

"Alright, then let me remind you!"

"Back then your heart was all for Caroline! Her child was lost, and you were by her side night and daye Where did you have the time for me?"

Suddenly, Gilbert remembered.

BUMS

At that time, Sherilyn had tried to find him at the hospital.

But he hadn't seen her...

A scene flashed through his mind, Sherilyn chasing after his car, him still ignoring her...

He vaguely remembered, it was raining that day. Sherilyn, she seemed to have fallen?

It was a long time ago, yet recalling it now felt as if it were just yesterday, vividly clear!

A pang of pain struck Gilbert's heart,

was it to tell me..."

"Yes."

Sherilyn met his gaze, her tone calm.

Yet to Gilbert, her words were thunderous, echoing loudly in his ears.
