Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?



"What?" Malvina was both shocked and furious. "How could you do such a thing?"

It was common knowledge around the neighborhood that Yuna and Edgar were seeing each other, set up by a mutual friend... If that photo got out, it would be utterly humiliating!

"Scared, are we?"

Adela ground her teeth in hatred, "Listen up! I don't want the Martin family anywhere near the Fergusons! Especially keep Yuna away from my son! If I find out you've been playing games, I'll plaster your daughter's embarrassing photos all over the inte!"

That would surely ruin Yuna's chances of finding a decent partner for life.

"Mrs. Ferguson, please!" Malvina's voice trembled, immediately going soft.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Having achieved her aim, Adela didn't linger a moment longer and turned to leave.

"Ah..." Malvina's knees buckled, and she collapsed to the floor.

Soon, Yuna's voice could be heard, "Mom? What's happening, why is the door open? What if a thief got in..."

Upon entering, she found her mother sitting on the floor.

"Mom, what happened?"

Seeing Yuna just lit a fire under Malvina, and she raised her hand, landing a slap right on her.

"Mom, why did you hit me?"

"I ought to beat you senseless today!"

...

Outside the TV station.

After leaving, Edgar headed straight for the dance company.

However, he was told that Sherilyn had been loaned out to the TV station for a while. So, he made his way to the station.

Sitting in his car, he hesitated for a long time before mustering the courage to step out.

All he could think about was Sherilyn crying... He had let her down!

Finally, Edgar opened the car door, stepped out, and walked toward the entrance.

At that moment, Sherilyn was busy.

Edgar didn't want to interrupt her, so he waited outside the practice room.

Today had been a rare good day, Caroline had arrived on time, and after yesterday's incident, Callie had been quiet, not stirring up any trouble.

Finally able to catch her breath, Sherilyn retreated to the rest area and was drinking some water.

Lauren approached her, "Ms.

Sherilyn, your friend has been

waiting outside for quite some time. I offered to let him in, but he insisted on not disturbing your work and chose to wait. I told him to wait in the next room. Do you have time now?"

Sherilyn looked puzzled. Which friend?

"I've got time now, thanks."

"No problem." Lauren winked at her

by the way. Does he

è a girlfriend?"

A man? Sherilyn's heart skipped a beat, realizing who it must be.

Sherilyn smiled, replying, "As far as I know, he does."

"Oh..." Lauren pouted. "Figures, why would a good-looking guy be single?"

With a smile, Sherilyn left the practice room and headed to the next room.

As soon as Sherilyn left, Caroline came over.

She picked up a water glass, smiled at Lauren, "What was Ms. Sherilyn doing?"

"Oh, a friend was looking for her." Lauren sighed, "Such a handsome guy, too bad he's taken."

Hmm?

Caroline wondered, who could that be?

It didn't seem to be Gilbert, whom Lauren knew.

So, who else could Sherilyn know?

Not wanting to speculate any further, Caroline finished her water, set down the glass, and left...

In the next room.

Sherilyn pushed the door open to find Edgar sitting quietly in a chair, not doing anything, not even looking at his phone.

"Edgar." Sherilyn approached slowly.

"Sherilyn." Edgar looked up and stood.

Seeing the faint smile on his lips,

Sherilyn could tell he wasn't hapet

In fact, upset' would be a more

ste description.

Their eyes met, and for a long moment, neither said a word.

At the doorway, Caroline smirked. So, it was him.

Hmph. Caroline took out her phone, snapped a photo of them, and sent it off...
