Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1256

"Of course," Nanson replied, carefully gathering the signed documents. "And thank you for your trust."

With business concluded, Nanson glanced at Joyce and then extended an invitation to Sherilyn. "I'm taking Joyce to lunch in a bit. Why don't you join us?"

"Yeah, come with us!" Joyce chimed in with a smile. "There's a great French place nearby."

"Thank you, but I can't," Sherilyn said, shaking her head to politely decline. "I really can't today. I promised Jenna I'd be home to have lunch with her."

"A promise to your daughter is definitely more important," Nanson said with an understanding nod. "In that case, we won't keep you." He then added, "Do you need me to call you a cab?"

"No, no, that's alright," Sherilyn replied with a wave of her hand. "I drove, so it's very convenient." She picked up her bag and started toward the door. "I'll be going now."

"Drive safe. Take care."

"Joyce, Nanson, bye."

"Bye."

"Bye now..."

Joyce and Nanson walked Sherilyn to the firm's entrance and watched her get into the elevator.

"It's about lunchtime," Nanson said, glancing at his watch. He looked at his cousin. "I'll go get my keys, and we can take my aunt out to eat."

"Cousin..." Joyce looked up at him, her gaze knowing. "Something's up with you."

"Hmm?" Nanson paused, touching his face in confusion. "What about me?"
