Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 1198

Sure! Here's your text adapted into a Western-style English novel scene. I replaced the Chinese cultural elements with suitable Western equivalents and made the dialogue and narration natural, lively, and idiomatic for a native English- speaking audience:

After seeing David off, Rebecca White turned and headed inside. She'd barely stepped into the foyer when her phone buzzed.

It was Eddy-again. They'd only just seen each other earlier today.

"Hey, Eddy?" Rebecca answered, puzzled. "What's up?"

"Rebecca. I'm outside Rosewood Manor, but I can't get in... I really need to talk to you."

What?

Rebecca spun around, glancing toward the front door.

He was here? At her place?

"How did you even-?"

How did he know where she lived?

"I'm sorry," Eddy said, sounding sheepish. "I... kind of followed you."

"Excuse me?" Rebecca's brow furrowed; she was definitely not pleased. "Why would you do that?"

Eddy rushed to explain, "After we met this afternoon, you left so quickly-I didn't get a chance to say what I needed to. Your mom asked me to drop something off for you, so I brought it over."
