Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"No, no!"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Jenna raised her little arms, covering her two hair clips, "Mister gave them to me! Jenna likes them!"

"You, child..."

"It's okay."

Gilbert chuckled, smoothing things over, "I gave them to Jenna, they're not anything expensive. Let the kid have her fun with them."

"But, this..."

"Jenna."

Not letting Sophia say more, Gilbert waved at Jenna, "I gotta go now, say bye to me."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

...

Not far away, Sherilyn stood frozen in shock!

So, the Minnie Mouse clips were for Jenna... Gilbert had bought them for Jenna!

He knew Jenna? Not just knew her, but it seemed Jenna really liked him too! How did things get to this point?!

Did she miss something?!

When Sophia returned with Jenna, Sherilyn had already gotten back earlier.

Hearing Sophia muttering, "Huh? Your mum's shoes are here, your mum's back! Oh no, your mum's gonna be mad!"

Sherilyn walked out upon hearing this, "What's up? Why would I be mad?"

"Mummy!" Jenna's eyes sparkled as she joyfully jumped into her mother's arms, "Mummy's back!"

"Jenna, sweetie." Sherilyn lifted Jenna, helping her take off her thick coat.

"Look."

Sophia pointed at Jenna's head. Being a maid, she naturally couldn't hide it from Sherilyn, her employer.

"This little one, got to know a guy from who knows where, and took two hair clips from him."

Thinking it over, she added, "The same guy I told you about, the one we met in the park last time." "Mummy!"

Before Sherilyn could speak, Jenna tugged anxiously at her mum's arm, shaking it, "He is a nice guy!"

"Nice guy?" Sophia tapped the little one's head, "Just because he gave you hair clips, he's a nice guy? It's just a pair of hair clips, what do

know? They're not worth much!"

you

Shaking her head, she rolled up her sleeves and turned towards the kitchen, "I'll let your mum teach you, I'm off to cook."

Sherilyn remained silent, her gaze fixed on the two hair clips on Jenna's head, her brows furrowed.

Those hair clips were not cheap.

Sophia didn't understand, thinking

they were just rhinestones, but

reality, each one was inlaid with real diamonds!

"Jenna."

With ice, Sherilyn said, a stern "Sophia is right, it's not right to just accept gifts from anyone. Take the hair clips off, and the next time you see him, give them back to him."

She was feeling very confused.

The sudden bond between father and daughter overwhelmed her, and she didn't know how to handle it.

She was scared.

"Come."

Sherilyn extended her hand towards Jenna, "Let Mummy take them off for you."

"No, no!" Jenna covered her head, her big eyes pleading with Sherilyn, "Sir gave them to me! Jenna loves them! Jenna doesn't want to take them off!"

What? Sherilyn was stunned. Her daughter was always obedient. This was the first time she refused to listen to her!

Why? Because of Gilbert? A father who had never been responsible for her?

Sherilyn's face darkened, "Jenna! Mummy is telling you to take the hair clips off, do you hear me?"

"!"

Jenna's small body shivered, this was the first time she had seen her mother so stern. Her eyes reddened, and her lips quivered. "Mummy's being unfair! Wah..."

She twisted her little body and ran into her room.

"Jenna's not talking to Mummy anymore!"
