Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1055

What kind of expression was that on his face?

It was like a husband who just found out about his wife's infidelity, and worse, caught her in the act!

Rebecca White chuckled, clearly amused and not in the mood to argue. "You're not blind, yes, I did hug him. So what? Is it any of your business?" "Rebecca White!"

Francis was furious, his eyebrows knitted as he spoke in a low, sharp voice.

He tightened his grip on her hand, "You can refuse to forgive me, not accept me... but not Eddy too!"

"This is my business, not yours."

Rebecca White didn't want to continue the discussion. She twisted her wrist, trying to break free from his grasp.

"I said it! Not him!"

Francis refused to let her go, anger boiling inside him. "Do I need to remind you? How he used to abuse you? Do you want to be blind to it again?" He pulled her closer by the wrist.

"Don't let your hatred for me make you forget what he is... He's an abuser, a serial cheater!"

"I know him better than you do!"

Rebecca White's brow furrowed, and she shook her head slowly. "He wasn't always like this! He changed... because of you!"

Francis was taken aback, his eyes widened in shock.

"Please, stay out of my business!"

Taking advantage of the moment, Rebecca White freed herself from his grip and hurried away, leaving those words behind as if afraid he'd follow her. Francis stood there, stunned, a headache pounding in his temples.
