Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 776

"Heh, heh-heh."

Naylor let out a low chuckle, "Blood is thicker than water, isn't it? She hasn't been a mother to you for a single day, yet here you are, defending her like a knight."

His eyes narrowed, "Want to take care of her? Just come back. You can see her every day, treat her well as you wish. Otherwise..."

His tone darkened, "You can't take her away from here."

He tilted his chin up, gesturing towards the rows of suited bodyguards standing by, "Thinking about a showdown? You'll have to get past them first, won't you?" Father and son stood at an impasse until footsteps from upstairs signaled Sherilyn's approach.

She paused at the top of the stairs, noticing the sudden silence between father and son, then nodded towards the upper floor.

"Mrs. Katy's already asleep."

"Thank you," Naylor said, nodding gratefully.

Gilbert abruptly stood, marching over to grab Sherilyn's hand, "No need to waste words here. Let's go!"

Sherilyn stumbled a bit as he pulled her along, but she didn't forget to ask, "What about Rebecca White?"

"She's already in the car."

"Oh."

Sure enough, Rebecca White was sitting in the car, having waited for them. She grabbed Sherilyn's hand as soon as she saw her.
