Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 666



Sherilyn lowered her gaze, took a deep breath, and then released it along with four words: "For Jenna's sake."

"Huh?" Gilbert was still in the dark, "Can you clarify a bit?"

"Alright..."Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

There was no turning back now. As difficult as it was to say, for Jenna's sake, it had to be said.

Sherilyn furrowed her brows, "Right now, I can't conceive. Once I've recovered, if there's no other way, I think... I might need to give Jenna a sibling."

Gilbert's eyes widened in realization. So, this was what she was talking about.

"You mean..."

Gilbert frowned, his smile fading as he confirmed, "You're planning on... IVF?"

"Yeah." Sherilyn nodded, feeling much more at ease after opening up.

"Oh..."

A heavy feeling settled in Gilbert's heart, not sure if it was disappointment...

But then again, it made sense.

In the past, Sherilyn had to be with him for Jenna's sake, without really wanting to be close to him. And now, since she didn't have feelings for him, it was natural she wouldn't want to continue that closeness...

Besides, with the advancements in medical science, wanting a child didn't necessarily mean they had to be intimate.

"But..."

Gilbert's brow was creased with deep confusion, "Isn't it too early to think about this?"

"It's not too early."

Sherilyn's gaze shifted, "I've been thinking about when to bring this up to you, and now seems like the right time. Later on... it might not be as convenient for you."

"What do you mean?"

Gilbert's expression darkened, not quite understanding her point but sensing it wasn't good.

"How could it be inconvenient for me later?"

This...

Sherilyn paused for a moment before asking him, "You already know about your brother and Caroline breaking up, right?"

"Yes." Gilbert nodded, "So? What does that have to do with this?"

Sherilyn looked at him, trying to gauge if he genuinely didn't understand, or if he thought she was the one who didn't get it.

"Spit it out." Gilbert was getting impatient, urging her on.

"Your chance has come."

Following his urging tone, Sherilyn smiled faintly, "Previously, Caroline was your brother's fiancée, and you couldn't, nor was it possible for you, but now it's different. You two could be together now." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

What??

Gilbert was stunned into silence! What was she even thinking?

Sherilyn bent down to pick up a cup from the coffee table, took a couple of sips, and continued, "Your brother definitely won't say anything. As for grandma, she might oppose at first, but eventually, she'll agree..." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Regarding public opinion, the Johnson Group certainly had the means to keep it under control.

And as for rumors, the Johnson family couldn't possibly silence everyone, but over time, people would find new gossip...

"Heh, hehe."

Gilbert let out a dry, bitter laugh, his gaze fixed on Sherilyn.

His jaw was clenched tightly, "Is that all? Anything else?"

"Yeah."

Sherilyn put down the cup, nodding, "Once you two are together, it wouldn't be appropriate for us to see each other."

"So, I was thinking you could go to the clinic for a 'cryopreservation'. That way, I can directly contact the clinic later without needing to bother you..."

"For Jenna's sake, I must trouble you, and I hope, for her sake, you'll agree... It's what you owe her..."

Sherilyn pursed her lips, "Don't worry,

I won't tell anyone about this,

especially not Caroline. It won't affect your relationship. Jenna and her future sibling will always be just my children, never having anything to do with you..." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
