Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1136

Francis was chatting with Gilbert, "I'm heading out now. Please take care of James for me."

"Don't worry," Gilbert said with a smirk, "I've got some experience handling kids these days."

"Relying on you, huh?"

Francis shook his head, not quite convinced. "Isn't Sherilyn the one actually in charge?"

He was being polite, of course.

James was heading to Blue Haven for a few days, and his nanny was tagging along. The main reason for leaving him with them was to ensure he didn't get lonely.

"Sherilyn, thanks for your help."

"No problem," Sherilyn replied with a smile. "My latest project just wrapped up, so I've got some free time."

"Alright then, I'm off."

Francis bent down and ruffled James's hair. "James, Daddy's leaving now. Remember to listen to your Aunt Sherilyn and Uncle Gilbert, okay?"

"Got it, Dad."

"Take care, bro. Safe travels."

"Will do."

Francis turned and got into the car, which slowly pulled away toward the gate.
