Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1132

"Yeah."

Rebecca White nodded earnestly, without any pretense.

"So, Rebecca..." Francis looked at her, his voice slightly husky, "Can I ask for a reward?"

"A reward?" Rebecca White was taken aback. Did he really want a reward?

"What kind of reward are you thinking?"

"I want to kiss you." Francis leaned down slowly, his lips nearing hers, "Is that okay?"

Rebecca White's cheeks flushed instantly, and she nervously clenched her hands.

"I'll take that as a yes?"

It was obvious she wasn't resisting.

Francis gently cradled the back of her neck, pulling her towards him, while his other hand cupped her face, and he kissed her.

The moment their lips met, both of their hearts trembled slightly, like a gentle electric shock.

They had known each other for a year, but it wasn't until this moment that their hearts seemed to finally come together.

"Gurgle..."

Hearing the sound, Francis paused, lifting his head to smile at her.

Rebecca White looked bewildered, "What are you laughing at?"

"Are you hungry?" Francis gently reminded her.

Rebecca White snapped back to reality, covering her stomach. Was that her stomach growling just now?

How embarrassing!

Francis held her hand, "Perfect timing, let's go inside and grab a bite."

"Hmph." Rebecca White muttered softly, "Didn't you already eat?"

"Not quite enough." Francis shook his head with a smile, "I was too busy scheming to eat properly."

He coaxed Rebecca White, "Come on, I have a private room reserved."

It wasn't the same one he had been in with Selina earlier.

"Okay." Rebecca White nodded and let him lead her inside.

Rebecca White was indeed hungry and enjoyed a hearty meal.

"Don't run!"

The mother and daughter ran off, yelling and crying.

Francis chuckled lightly, holding Rebecca White's hand, "The show's over. Let's get you home."

"Yes, let's." Rebecca White smiled, feeling in high spirits.

They got in the car and headed towards Rosewood Mansion.

Francis escorted Rebecca White inside and said, "I won't be able to visit for a few days. Please take care of yourself."

"Why..." Rebecca White asked, slightly surprised, "Is something going on?"

While she didn't need to see him every day, his mentioning it specifically indicated he had something important.

"Yeah."

Francis nodded honestly, "Caroline is heading to Quinland. Her leg's been bothering her, and I need to take her there, get her settled, and meet with her doctor."

"Oh." Rebecca White nodded in understanding, "When are you leaving?"

"Tonight, on the ten o'clock flight to Minnesota."
