Samuel hesitated for a moment. He wanted to say that lan had brought her home, but if even he lied to Rebecca, he wouldn’t deserve to be her most beloved child.

“What’s wrong?” Rebecca noticed the shift in his expression. “Wasn’t it lan?”

Samuel shook his little head.

Rebecca’s heart skipped a beat. “Then who was it?”

“Don’t be silly. You did nothing wrong.” Rebecca’s heart softened as she ruffled his hair. “Mommy just wants you to grow up happy and healthy.”

Samuel nodded obediently.
