Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 520

As Gilbert walked by, his gaze immediately fell on Jenna, who was seated near the window, her little legs swinging back and forth in a child's high chair.

He couldn't help but smile. "Mr. Miller, if you'll excuse me for a moment, I see a friend I'd like to greet.'

"By all means, Mr. Johnson."

With a slight nod, Gilbert made his way into the diner.

"Mr. Johnson!" Sophia was the first to spot him, standing up to greet him warmly.

"Hello there."

Gilbert returned the smile, turning to Jenna, "Lovely Jenna, we meet again."

"Sir!"

Struggling in the high chair, Jenna stretched her arms out eagerly, and Gilbert, laughing, lifted her into his arms.

He examined her closely; the little one seemed to be in good spirits.

"Jenna, have you been feeling okay lately?"

The question was directed at Jenna, but it was really meant for Sophia.

"Yes! I've been doing great."

Sophia chimed in, "Ever since we left the hospital last time, Jenna's been taking her medication on schedule and getting her shots at the hospital every few days. She's been really good, thanks to you."

Gilbert squeezed Jenna's tiny hand, "As long as Jenna is doing fine."

"Sir." Jenna snuggled into his chest, whispering, "Sir, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Hmm?" Gilbert was taken aback, raising an eyebrow. Why would the little one ask something like that?

Jenna mumbled, "Can Jenna introduce you to someone, pretty please?"

"Jenna..." Gilbert was surprised.

"Sir!" Seemingly worried he might refuse, Jenna became anxious. "It's my mom! She's really pretty, even prettier than me! Mom had to use the restroom, but she'll be back soon! Can you wait, please?"

"Jenna!" Sophia was mortified. "Don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not!" Jenna was bold, "Don't you believe me, sir?"

Gilbert couldn't help but chuckle, "Of course, I believe you, Jenna. But you see, I already have a girlfriend."

Thinking of Sherilyn, his smile widened. "And my girlfriend is very beautiful too."

"Oh..." Jenna's big eyes filled with disappointment, "Okay."

"Jenna, I have to go now."

Gilbert set Jenna back in her high chair, bending down to ruffle her hair, "Bye-bye, Jenna."

"Bye, sir."

Shortly after, Sherilyn returned.

Sophia, trying to suppress her laughter, explained, "We ran into Mr. Johnson. Jenna wanted to play matchmaker and introduce you to him. But it turns out Mr. Johnson already has a girlfriend."

Sherilyn's heart skipped a beat. Gilbert was here?

Looking at Jenna, the little one's pout revealed her sadness.

Sherilyn felt a mix of sourness and

tenderness, patting Jenna's head et "Do you understand what this el

means?"

"Yes." Jenna held her head high, "I wanted him to be my daddy."

Sherilyn stiffened. Jenna liked Gilbert... to this extent?

Hearing Jenna sigh with sadness, "He has a girlfriend, so he can't be my daddy."

The food arrived.

Sophia tried to lighten the mood, "Alright, enough of that. Let's eat."

Sherilyn put a bib on Jenna, looking at her soft cheeks and thinking of her own situation.

Perhaps, she and Gilbert already had two kids...

On Monday, Sherilyn went to the TV station to meet with the production team.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

They discussed the format of the show, her responsibilities, and her compensation in detail.

"Ms. Stewart, you'll be responsible for Group A. The list is on the last page."

"Alright." Sherilyn nodded and flipped to the last page.

The first name on the list, clear in black and white: Caroline Bet.
