Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 729



Despite feeling it was a long shot, Sherilyn managed a smile, "Hello."

The young man took a few steps closer, paused at her greeting, "Don't you recognize me?"

He touched his face as he spoke.

"I've changed a lot, haven't I?"

Then, looking at Sherilyn with a smile, "But you, you haven't changed a bit, at least, recognizable at first glance..."

The more he spoke, the fainter Sherilyn's smile became.

Because, looking at the face before her, she too began to remember...

In the next moment, the young man solemnly said, "Sis, how have you been these years?"

"!"

Sherilyn stiffened, a chill running down her spine as she straightened up.

It was him! Galen Martin!

"Sis."

Excitement twinkled in Galen's eyes as he babbled on.

"I saw your trending topic on Twitter, then found a bunch of entries about you. Knew you were here filming, so I thought, why not try my luck..."

"Can't believe my luck, found you just like that! Sis, you're even more beautiful than when you were a kid..."

He paused, then added, "By the way, what's with the trending topic? Aren't you and your husband, like, already hitched? Suddenly flooding us with all this couple goals stuff..."

"What do you want?"

Sherilyn barely listened to him until finally, her patience wore thin, and she interrupted.

"Skip the fluff, just spit it out."

Galen paused, quickly shaking his head, "Sis, you've got it all wrong..."

"Misunderstand?"

Sherilyn smirked sarcastically,

"Everyone from the Martin family has come by, you're the last. What's there to misunderstand? What do you want this time? Who's on their deathbed now?"

"Sis."

Hearing this, Galen frowned, "I know, about my car accident, what my mom and Yuna did to you was wrong, and I'm here to apologize. They were in the wrong, I'm sorry."

"That's enough."

Sherilyn frowned, "No need for apologies! Since you won't say why you're here, then leave! And, don't come back!"

With that, she turned to leave.

"Sis! Sis!"

In a rush, Galen took a couple of steps forward, blocking her way.

Sherilyn was taken aback, "What on earth do you want? I'm calling security!"

"Sis!"

Galen frowned, looking down, "I know, our family owes you... I'm here with no other intention, I just..."

He anxiously ran his fingers through his hair, "Sis, believe it or not, in my heart, you're my real sister! I heard dad say you returned to Sunhaven... just wanted to see you..." Content

"Seen enough?" Sherilyn was extremely impatient, her irritation barely contained, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Sis..."

Galen hesitated, his complexion turning pale, "I'm sorry, that year, when you came to our house, I couldn't help you... but I'm grown up now! I can help you!"

He said, pulling out a business card from his pocket and handing it to Sherilyn.

"This has my cell number and WhatsApp on it-Sis, these years, how have you been in the Johnson family, I wonder if you're doing okay?"

"I've grown up, I have a say in the

household now... If, and I mean if, you're not treated well in the Johnson family, or if your husband mistreats you, come to me! I'm your brother, the Martin family is your family, and your brother will have your back!"

For a moment, Sherilyn froze.

"Have my back??"

She thought she must have heard wrong!
