Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1052

"Over here!"

Rebecca White nodded, pocketed her phone, and walked toward him.

"Have a seat," Eddy stood up, pulling out a chair for her. "It's raining. Was the traffic bad?"

"Not too bad," Rebecca replied. "I left the office just in time to avoid the rush hour."

"That's good."

It had been a while since they sat together like this, calmly and without tension.

Eddy was a bit nervous as he handed her the menu, "What would you like to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything."

"Shall I order then?"

"Sure," Rebecca said nonchalantly, adding, "It's on me today."

"...Alright," Eddy was taken aback but didn't refuse.

He ordered according to Rebecca's usual preferences, then looked at her, "Is there something you wanted to talk about?"

Just today, his lawyer had informed him that their divorce papers would be finalized soon.

Rebecca must have had something else on her mind.

"Yes," Rebecca said, holding her water glass and taking a deep breath. "I wanted to ask you..."

She looked him straight in the eye, her heart pounding, "Did you know... that I was pregnant before, and had a child?"

"!"

The words hung in the air, and Eddy's expression instantly froze.

Seeing his reaction, Rebecca's lips curled into a slight smile as she ventured a guess, "You... knew?"

"You..."

Eddy took a deep breath, his Adam's apple bobbing as he struggled with words, "Why are you asking? Did you... remember something?"

"Remember?"

Rebecca frowned, catching his choice of words, confirming, "So, you did know."
