Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1139

Arriving at the restaurant, the private dining room was buzzing with energy.

With Jenna and James around, laughter and lively chatter were a given.

They were a bit late, and the two kids had already finished eating, now off playing with Sophia and James's nanny nearby.

"Hey there, Galen!" Sherilyn waved them over, "Come on in."

"Sorry for being late," Joyce apologized with a smile as Galen pulled out a chair for her. "Have a seat," he said warmly.

"Thanks," Joyce replied, smiling back at him as she took her seat. Galen settled in right beside her.

"You two..." Sherilyn raised an eyebrow, glancing between them, "Did you plan this together?"

"Not at all," Joyce waved her hand dismissively. "I was lucky Galen was around today. I would've been lost otherwise," she chattered on about the earlier incident.

Meanwhile, Rebecca White called a waiter over to set a couple of extra place settings and add a few more dishes to the order.

"Your brother is quite handy," Joyce said, turning to pat Galen on the shoulder with a grin.

"Absolutely," Sherilyn agreed, her eyes twinkling as she glanced between them. "And I'm not just saying that because he's my brother. Galen here is the epitome of a stand-up guy."

"Haha, I couldn't agree more!" Joyce nodded enthusiastically, her eyes crinkling with genuine amusement.

"Let me introduce you," Sherilyn said, gesturing to the woman next to her. "This is Rebecca White... And Rebecca, this is Joyce."

"Nice to meet you."
