Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 948





"Rebecca White."

Caroline's smile vanished as she uttered the name.

Francis blinked in surprise. Had they met? Caroline had made a special trip over, could it be that they had a conflict?Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"Rebecca White, now there's a name you don't forget easily."

Caroline fixed her gaze on the man before her, elegantly handsome and composed, afraid to miss any flicker of emotion on his face. Slowly and clearly, she continued, "She's got herself tangled up with Nanson, asked him to represent her in her divorce case."

As she spoke, her hands involuntarily clenched, her heartbeat and breathing quickened!

Then, she waited for Francis's reaction.

However, one second, two seconds...

Caroline watched, astounded, as Francis remained perfectly calm, his posture and expression unchanged!

"How can you...?"

Caroline was incredulous. "Francis, did you not hear what I said? Rebecca White is going through a divorce, she's married..."

Francis looked up at her squarely.

That look in his eyes?

Caroline paused, "You don't believe me?"

Luckily, she was prepared.

"It's not just me who heard!"

Caroline pointed towards the door, her voice filled with urgency, "I had lunch with Darlene today, she heard it too! And my caregiver! They're both outside right now, you can ask them to come in, they'll vouch for me, I'm not making this up! Francis..."

"Caroline."

Francis gently grabbed her arm, his brows furrowed, shaking his head at her.

"No need, I don't need to see them."

"Huh?"

Caroline was puzzled, not understanding, "Why not see them?"

She became agitated, "Rebecca White has deceived you! She's a married woman! And yet she dares to seduce you, she's shameless..."

She stopped abruptly.

The room fell silent.

Caroline stared at Francis, realizing something was off. He was too calm!

Could it be...

Only now did Caroline belatedly realize...

"No..."

Caroline shook her head in disbelief, her eyes losing their luster,"

Francis, with a pained expression, met her gaze and slowly nodded.

"Ah!"

Caroline gasped, closing her eyes tightly.

"You knew? And you still want her?"

Francis remained silent, with no words to offer.

"Ha..."

Caroline suddenly laughed, "Francis, you knew, yet you still desire her?"

"Rebecca White's marriage is a sham."

Francis spoke softly, "She's already filing for divorce. Soon, she'll be free..."

Her gaze at Francis filled with anger.

"Francis, you'd betray our decades of friendship for a married woman?" Betrayal?

Francis wanted to remind her, it was she who had initiated their breakup.

Caroline's face turned pale, she took a deep breath, "Francis, you're truly heartless! On the surface, a

gentleman, but deep down, colder than anyone!"

"Caroline..."

Without another look at him, Caroline turned her wheelchair, calling out, "Josie! Josie!"

"Ms. Bet!" The caregiver immediately came in, taking hold of the wheelchair.

Francis stood still, hesitating for a moment, eventually not following her.

She was too agitated now; best to wait until she had calmed down before speaking again.
