Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 664

Watching Francis clutch Rebecca White in a tight embrace, her mind was swirling with questions.

How did the two of them... end up like this? When did it start? What sparked it? And how far had it gone?

Gilbert, on the other hand, was frowning deeply, his eyes shadowed with concern as he glanced at Caroline now and then.

Caroline, however, was just watching with a cold, mocking smile, as if enjoying a drama that had nothing to do with her...

As they walked past, Francis gave them a brief look and muttered, "We'll talk later."

Right now, he had to take care of Rebecca White. He had neither the time nor the inclination to explain himself.

Back at the villa.

The nurse was helping Rebecca White with a bath in the bathroom, while the doctor had arrived to tend to her injuries.

In the living room, Gilbert and Caroline sat opposite each other in silence.

In the room, Francis was talking to Sherilyn.

"Sherilyn," Francis started, after a moment of silence, carefully choosing his words, "I'd like you to keep my situation with Rebecca White a secret for now."

"Why?"

Sherilyn frowned, puzzled. "What are your intentions with Rebecca White? Big bro, she's had a rough marriage already. She's been through enough! Don't you dare mistreat her!"

A twitch appeared between Francis's eyebrows. "Mistreat Rebecca White? Do you think I'm toying with her?"

"What else should I think?" Sherilyn pointed towards the door, lowering her voice.
