Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Gilbert picked up the folder next to him and handed it to Sherilyn.

"What's this?" Sherilyn asked, taking it with a puzzled look.

"It's some info on schools."

Gilbert explained.

Jenna was gradually recovering, and according to Dr. Neil, if there were no signs of rejection in the next two years, she would be completely healed.

Moreover, if everything remained normal for the next six months, she could start attending school regularly.

He said, "This is information on a few private schools in Sunhaven."

These schools varied in age, covering education levels from kindergarten to high school.

"We could start Jenna in middle school."

Sherilyn paused, "Wouldn't she struggle to keep up?"

Private schools, although free from the pressures of standardized testing, catered to affluent families and followed a rigorous curriculum. The pressure was not insignificant. "She won't."

Gilbert shook his head, "Young kids can't really take in much anyway, and besides, it doesn't matter if she struggles a bit. If Jenna wants, we can get her a tutor; if not, we'll let her be." "That sounds fair."

On the matter of Jenna's education, the two were in agreement.

"These schools all seem decent. Take a look, which one do you like more?"

"Okay... Oh, right." Sherilyn remembered, "Which school does your brother's son, James, attend?"

"This one."

Gilbert pointed at one of the documents and smiled, "It would be nice for Jenna and James to be together. James could look out for his little sister."

"Mr. Johnson, Sherilyn, Jenna, dinner's ready."

While they were discussing, Sophia came to call them to eat.

"Alright." Gilbert reached out, lifting Jenna into his arms, "Let's go, dinner time!"

He could feel Jenna had gotten a bit heavier.

He couldn't help but smile, "Jenna's growing up."

"Jenna eats well!"

"Such a good girl!"

After dinner, Sophia took Jenna to bathe.

Sherilyn glanced at Gilbert and took the initiative, "Let's talk downstairs."

He was here today not just for Jenna's school, but likely because 'that matter' had reached a conclusion.

Discussing it at home might lead to an argument, scaring Jenna in the process.

"Okay." Gilbert understood her hint and agreed.

So, the two went downstairs together.

"Let's hear it." Sherilyn crossed her arms, looking at him expectantly.

"It's like this..."

Gilbert's lips parted, his brow furrowing unconsciously.

Deepening gradually.

"So far, we've found no evidence to corroborate Saul's story..."

"Is that what you found? Might as well have not looked." Sherilyn smiled, her lips curving but without warmth.

Nodding lightly, "Not surprising, expected."

"Sherilyn?" Gilbert's heart sank, "You don't believe me?"

"Gilbert."

Sherilyn's Smile vanished, her gaze sharp as she looked at him,

countering his question with

another, "Is this how you've ended things with Caroline? Ha..."

She couldn't help but laugh.

Shaking her head, "Interesting. Why go through all this trouble? I said t last

jume, if you want to protect her,

just be upfront." FindNovel

"I didn't!"

Gilbert panicked, feeling utterly defenseless.

"There's no evidence against Saul's claims, that's the truth!"

"Huh." Sherilyn chuckled, shrugging, "Why so defensive? You know, the more you fret, the more ridiculous it seems to me." "Sherilyn."

Gilbert's eyes suddenly tightened,

"I've known Caroline for over a

decade. I can't just convict her

based on some stranger's baseless accusations!"

"Can't you?"

Sherilyn glared at him, her voice filled with emotion, "If I say it's her, it's her! Is that not enough?"
