Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 1084

"You know, Eddy still wants you, and you should be grateful for that, shouldn't you? You actually have the nerve to ask for a divorce? And take it to court? Ha..."

The words were sharp, dripping with disdain.

"You're making me lose face, Rebecca!"

"Rebecca?"

Galloway was struggling to process the whole situation. He remembered when he was sick, Eddy had come with her to visit him.

"Tell me, is it true?"

Rebecca White couldn't deny it any longer. She nodded, "Yes, Grandpa... Eddy and I can't be together anymore. We're divorced."

"Dad, you hear that? Didn't I tell you?"

Kearney sneered, "With your situation, you dare to get divorced? How are you going to live after this?"

"So what?" Rebecca White shot back. "Is life over after a divorce? Am I going to die?"

"You..." Kearney raised his hand, tempted to strike her.

"Don't!"

Faustina grabbed his arm, trying to calm him down, "Don't get angry... Let's talk this through."

"Does she look like she's listening?"

"Rebecca."

Faustina looked at Rebecca White with a sigh, "Your father might have a harsh way of speaking, but he's only worried about you."

She paused, "With your circumstances, getting divorced does make things harder for you."

"Then I won't look for anyone else!"

Galloway suddenly spoke up with a firm voice, "What century are we living in? Is staying single a crime?"

"Dad?"

"Grandpa..."

Rebecca White was taken aback, a tear escaping her eye in disbelief.

"Rebecca, don't be upset."

Galloway held her hand gently, "Divorce is not the end of the world. I raised you, and if need be, I'll continue to support you."

"Grandpa..."

Rebecca White lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
