Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 985

Rebecca White felt a chill run down her spine.

Was her grandfather confused, or had he simply forgotten what Eddy looked like? It seemed he had mistaken Francis for Eddy.

Since getting married, Eddy had never accompanied her back to her family home. It was understandable for her grandfather, with his advancing years, to forget. "Grandfather..."

Rebecca cast an apologetic glance at Francis, opening her mouth to explain.

But Mr. Galloway was already extending his hand toward Francis, "My grandson-in-law..."

Truth be told, Francis was in a peculiar position.

He realized that Mr. Galloway had mistaken him for Eddy, yet Mr. White had called him 'grandson-in-law.'

Well, he thought, why not go along with it.

Raising his eyebrows in surprise at Rebecca's astonished look, Francis stepped forward and took Mr. Galloway's other hand. "Granddad, it's me. Rebecca and I came to visit you."

"Is that so...?"

Facing him, Mr. Galloway asked the same question, but with a slightly different meaning.

Francis smiled softly, "Don't worry, granddad. Rebecca and I are doing well. We'll make sure to visit you more often."

Mr. Galloway's confused eyes brightened with joy, and he intertwined their hands together.

"Good, very good..."
