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:

"Alright. Thanks for your help, David."

"Just doing my job."

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."
