Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 386

"Mom?"

Sherilyn was inside, and Jenna moved a little stool to sit by the door.

"Why's it taking so long?"

Sherilyn couldn't help but smile wryly. How could she explain that her daughter's presence was making things a bit difficult?

"Jenna, sweetheart, go play with Sophia for a bit. Mommy will be out soon."

"Okay, Mommy."

After lunch with her little shadow Jenna and tucking her into bed, Sherilyn left the Sunset Ridge Community to head for the dance troupe. Arriving at the dance studio, she walked down the employees' corridor and spotted Rebecca.

She wasn't alone; beside her was that guy from last time... Eddy, was it?

"Spit it out," Rebecca tilted her head, her tone icy."I'm still working. Make it quick."

"What's with the attitude?"

Eddy's patience was wearing thin, his brow furrowed in annoyance, "If you hadn't blocked me, do you think I'd bother coming here?"

"Hmph," Rebecca laughed coldly, "You sound so hesitant? Then just don't come!"

"You..." Eddy paused, pointing a finger at Rebecca. "I'm not wasting my words on you! I'm here to tell you, this weekend, come home for dinner!" The Jones family's monthly dinner was a strict affair, no absences allowed.

Rebecca smirked, so he still cared about his face?

"Did you hear me?" Eddy finished, clearly not planning to stay any longer, "And, get me off your blacklist, pronto!"

With that, he turned and left.

Sherilyn watched from afar, unable to hear their exchange, and headed straight to the changing room.

Soon after, Rebecca came back, clutching her stomach and looking pale, clearly in discomfort.

"Rebecca, what's wrong?" Sherilyn rushed to help her sit, guessing the issue.

"Is it your time of the month?"

"Yeah." Rebecca nodded.

"Hold on." Sherilyn hurriedly said, "I have some ginger tea in my locker; let me make you a cup."

"Thanks, that'd be great."

"Not for now." Rebecca smiled, shaking her head, "It's not that bad."

Mainly, Eddy had just riled her up.

"Alright, but if it gets worse, let me know."

"Will do." Rebecca smiled, "You're really prepared."

"Yeah. Every time it's my turn, it's like a disaster..."

Wait a minute!

Sherilyn suddenly froze.

Back at the studio, she locked herself in a bathroom stall and opened the pregnancy test kit.

She carefully read the instructions, then followed each step meticulously.

Eyes closed, hands clasped together, she waited silently, hoping fervently.

"Please, please."

She prayed for a positive sign that could mean she wouldn't have to face Gilbert's displeasure anymore!

Five minutes passed.

Sherilyn opened her eyes, holding her breath as she picked up the pregnancy test.
