Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 947

"Not everything..."

Frank let out a barely audible sigh, his expression calm and collected. "Just three, I guess. My grandma, my ex-girlfriend, and you."

Becky White paused, his ex-girlfriend?

Of course, she knew Caroline. Her reputation preceded her; they had met and interacted before.

He was straightforward and honest, at least.

But placing her in the same category as his grandma and Caroline—what did that imply?

Or was he hinting at something?

For a moment, silence fell between them, the air growing thick with tension.

Becky found herself feeling unusually warm.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

"Sorry."

She flashed him an apologetic smile and quickly answered. "Hello, Mr. Cooper, yes... alright, I understand... Okay, goodbye."

Though Frank couldn't catch the details, he had a good guess.

Frowning slightly, he asked, "Trouble with the divorce?"

"No..."

Becky hung up, shaking her head. "Not trouble, just a procedural thing."

"Right." Frank nodded, a small smile forming on his lips. "That's good then."

Good for what?

It was her divorce. Why should it matter to him?

Seeing him look relieved, Becky felt her cheeks warm up even more, if that was possible.

...

The next day at noon, Becky took her lunch break to meet with Nanson.

Nanson was in the area for some errands, so Becky suggested they grab a bite together.

Partly to discuss business, and partly to thank him for his help.

After their meal, they left the restaurant together.

"Mr. Cooper, thanks for helping me out," Becky said with a smile.
