Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1085

"What?"

The room fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Rebecca White was just as shocked, her eyes as wide as saucers, her brow furrowed, biting her lip as she slowly shook her head at him. "What are you talking about..."

She glanced anxiously at Galloway. "Grandpa, this isn't..."

His old eyes, usually clouded with age, were suddenly sharp and clear.

He asked, "Did you say you're Rebecca's boyfriend?"

"Yes." Francis nodded, bowing slightly. "Grandpa."

He was quick to call him that.

"Mr. Johnson, no need to rush..." Galloway waved him off, refusing the gesture. "But, I haven't heard a word about you from Rebecca."

Francis wasn't upset, just smiled calmly.

"I suppose Rebecca hasn't had the chance. We've only been together for a couple of days. But..."

He continued, "I have visited you before, Grandpa. Do you remember?"

"Did you?" Galloway frowned, struggling to recall.
