Whispers Turn

Chapter 500

What a warm family scene!

Caroline stood on the side, completely feeling like an outsider! She was just superfluous! With a turn, she headed upstairs.

“Sherilyn.”

Gilbert, having changed his clothes, slid the door open as Sherilyn came up with a bowl of yogurt and granola..

At the same time, he noticed Caroline closing her room door.

Gilbert frowned, “What’s up? Did something happen?”

“We had a fight.” Sherilyn took a spoonful of yogurt to her mouth, “James doesn’t seem to like her much.”

Oh, that.

Gilbert frowned, putting it mildly, “She might just lack a way with kids.”

“Want some?”

“Sure.” Sherilyn scooped another spoonful, feeding it to him. “Tasty?”

“Yeah, another spoonful, please.”

“Eat less, save some for me.”

“Stingy! I’ll make more after we finish.”

Chatting away, Caroline emerged from her room, dressed to leave, luggage in hand.

Seeing the two leaning against the doorway, feeding each other yogurt, she felt a twinge in her heart.

She once thought Sherilyn was the one Francis had eyes for…But it turned out there was someone else! And they even had a child!

In the end, she still lost to Sherilyn!

“Caroline.”

Francis came upstairs, eyeing the luggage in Caroline’s hand, “Where are you off to?”

While speaking, he approached her, holding her wrist.

“Let go.” Caroline’s eyes were slightly red, “I’m just surplus to requirements in this house!”

“Caroline.”

Francis‘ eyes trembled, brows furrowed, “Nobody said that, it’s just James is still young,

“Ha!”

Caroline scoffed, insisting on leaving, “So, am not allowed to make space for him?”

“Caroline…”

“Francis.” Caroline, with tears in her eyes, said, “I’m not in a good mood, took a job offer, I need to clear my head. Can’t you just think about what I need for once?”

Their gazes locked, with undercurrents quietly swirling in the air.

“Alright.” Francis finally let go. “Wherever you’re going, wherever you stay, you need to tell me.”

Hmph. Caroline scoffed, “As if you wouldn’t know? Aren’t my agent and team all your people?”

Clutching her luggage tighter, she hurried away without looking back.

“Caroline!”

Gilbert then stepped forward, looking at Caroline’s fading figure, then back at his brother.

“Bro, you’re just going to let her leave like that?”

“What else?” Francis retorted, “Tell me, what should I do? She and James can’t get along, should James leave?”

Of course not!

Gilbert fell silent; his brother was in a tough spot, choosing between his child and his fiancée, who could be easily let go?

Monday.

Gilbert’s injury was minor, and Sherilyn took leave from the dance troupe to return to work.

Early in the morning, David drove, dropping her off at the troupe before heading to the Johnson Group. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The car stopped at the crossroads, and Sherilyn thought about sneaking back to Sunset Ridge Community for lunch…

Suddenly, she froze, her eyes widening in shock! What did she just see??

She immediately reached to unlock the door, only to find it was locked.

“David! Open the door!”

“Huh? What?”

Sherilyn yelled, “Open the door!”

“Oh, okay!”

“Sherilyn?” Gilbert was taken aback, holding onto Sherilyn, “Where are you rushing off to?” “Let go!”

Time was of the essence, where was there time to explain?

Sherilyn forcefully shook off Gilbert, pushed the car door open, and dashed across the

street!
