Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 837

Oh?

Naylor arched an eyebrow, intrigued by what was unfolding.

"Sir, shall we invite Mr. Nine in?"

"There's no hurry."

Naylor shook his head, narrowing his eyes with a glint of cunning, "The Harrison family's doors must be entered by his own choice."

"We'll wait."

Nolan, accompanied by a few others, greeted him at the entrance, "Mr. Nine, please come inside."

Naylor raised an eyebrow, "Who?"
