Whispers Turn

Chapter 507

Yates couldn’t bear to look at him. “Look at yol man. All it takes is a young lady to have you wrapped around her finger”

“You wouldn’t understand. Gilbert wasn’t upset instead, he chuckled “Wait till you’ve got a girlfriend. Then you’ll get it

He hurried them out. “Come on, off you go. I won’t see you out

Once they left, Gilbert immediately returned to the CEO’s office.

In the lounge, Sherilyn was lying on the bed, already fast asleep. The blanket was warm, and her cheeks were flushed with sleep.

Gilbert couldn’t resist, he gently squeezed her cheeks, waking Sherilyn up.

“You’re done?”

“Done,” Gilbert smiled and nodded. “Wake up, don’t sleep now, or you won’t be able to

later.*

“What do you know? Sleep is the best beauty treatment.”

Sherilyn yawned and sat up, murmuring to herself. She had been feeling unusually sleepy these past few days.

Probably still the side effects of the medication.

As for morning sickness… even if she was experiencing it, it shouldn’t be this quick, right?

Considering the mix–up last time, she was much more cautious.

Dr. Neil had said, conducting a blood test between 11 to 15 days after the ovulation period ended was the safest bet.

Sherilyn got up and put on a sweater, while Gilbert grabbed a brush to comb her hair.

He loved her long hair with its natural slight curl–something that couldn’t be replicated in a salon. It had a vintage charm to it. Soft and captivating, it radiated femininity.

“Shall we eat out tonight? What do you fancy?”

“Sure,” Sherilyn nodded, “I’m in the mood for steak.”

“Crimson Table or Cozyroom?”

“Crimson Table.”

Gilbert knew immediately. “Craving their dessert? I’ll call ahead.”

After he made the call, Sherilyn was ready to go.

They took the elevator down to the garage and headed to Crimson Table. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Upon arrival, Gilbert went to park the car while Sherilyn waited at the entrance.

This winter was particularly cold, with Sunhaven often seeing snowfall, and today was no exception. The snowflakes had been falling on and off all day, and seemed to intensify as the night drew in.

Sherilyn tapped her deer leather boots lightly on the ground.

Below the steps, a silver Pagani pulled up, and Yuna got out.

She smiled back at someone inside the car, “I’ll wait here for you.”

Then she closed the door, and the Pagani drove into the garage–Sherilyn caught a glimpse of the license plate, feeling a sudden drop in her heart.

It was Edgar’s car!

Sherilyn was stunned, frowning slightly.

Last time, she hadn’t been mistaken; Yuna was indeed with Edgar!

What was their relationship?

Acquaintances? Friends? Or, something more…?

“Sherilyn!” Gilbert had parked the car and jogged over, wrapping Sherilyn in his embrace. “It’s so cold out, why didn’t you wait inside?“.

“It’s okay, I didn’t wait long.”

“Let’s go in.”

“Alright.” Sherilyn smiled and nodded, her expression unchanged as they walked inside together.

That night.

The cold wind howled outside, and the snow fell heavily.

Inside Golden Oak Manor, it was warm as spring.

Gilbert placed Sherilyn on the bed–these days, she was particularly clingy, but he didn’t mind. In fact, he quite liked it.

If they could continue like this indefinitely, it wouldn’t be so bad.

He pulled the blanket over her and kissed her forehead.

“Sherilyn.”

“Mhm?” Sherilyn could barely keep her eyes open, waving her hand, “Let’s sleep. I’m tired.”

Chagiter 507

She thought he was hinting at something.

Gilbert smirked, asking her, “Red, blue, yellow, white… which color do you prefer?”

Sherilyn cracked her eyes open slightly. “Why are you asking?”

“Just answer me.”

good her puffer jackets, her coats, they were all and need suter

On such a calm night he found himself thinking about martage

*s and Sherilyn’s first shot at marriage hadn’t been all that great.

He had mentioned manage to her before, but Sherilyn hadn’t agreed

Looking back, he could see his faut….

Marriage, such a sacred commitment, and he had broached the subject to lightly not giving it the gravity it deserved

This time would be different

He would plan everything meticulously starting with the proposal Nothing could be left chance

Sherly loved red. So, the engagement ring would have to be a red diamond, her favorite

At noon, after grabbing lunch from the cafeteria, Sherilyn brought back a portion for Rebecca

Thanks a lot. Rebecca said with a smile.

“No problem.”

It was Rebecca’s first day back at work. Her injuries were mostly healed, except for the bruises around her eyes, which hadn’t completely faced yet

Worried about the curious glances and whispers from coworkers, Rebecca chose to stay in her office

Luckily, she had Sherilyn to count on.

Rebecca opened the lunch box, “Looks like a good meal today”

Sherilyn unscrewed a bottle of yogurt, placing it next to her. Your favorite, blueberry favor”

Thank you, hehe.*

Rebecca, Rebecca White!

Outside, a man’s voice called out for Rebecca, anxious and impatient.

That voice…

Rebecca’s face turned pale in an instant, and she stood up quickly, grabbing Sherilyn’s hand anxiously. “It’s Eddy! He’s found me, he’s come to the dance company!”

Sherilyn scoffed, “He wasn’t there for you when you were injured and in the hospital. What’s he doing here now? Don’t worry, I’ll go see…”

Before she could finish, the door was forcefully pushed open!

Both women were startled and looked up.

Eddy, with a grim expression, strode towards Rebecca, grabbing her wrist harshly, “Finally found you! Rebecca White, where have you been these last few days?”

Rebecca bit her lip, her chin held high, “Where I’ve been is none of your business.”

“Rebecca White!”

Something in his words seemed to trigger Eddy, who suddenly flew into a rage.

“Have you no shame? A married woman disappearing for days on end, tell me! Who were you messing around with?”

What?

Rebecca went pale and shook as she spoke, “Is that really how you see me, Eddy?”

“Are you not?” Eddy shouted, veins bulging on his forehead, “Leaving your husband on your wedding night for another man, you’re the first!”

Rebecca froze, unable to argue.

Tears silently fell, “Eddy, let’s get a divorce.”

The atmosphere turned abruptly silent.

Eddy seemed not to have heard her clearly, “What did you say?”

“I said…” Rebecca took a deep breath, mustering courage, and repeated, “Let’s get a divorce… Ah…”

Before she could finish, Eddy raised his hand and slapped her hard!

Sherilyn gasped in shock, rushing forward to pull him away, “What are you doing? Let her go! Let go!”

“And who are you?” Eddy turned around, his eyes fierce. “Mind your own business! Asking for trouble!”

With a swift motion, he shoved Sherilyn away.
