“Are you not happy?” Jeffrey noticed the shift in her mood.

Andrea didn’t answer, thinking to herself, ‘Jeffrey had said before that as long as I didn’t go after Rebecca, he could tolerate my schemes. Does that mean he can accept me feeling jealous?‘

Jeffrey subtly pulled his hand away from hers and tucked some stray hair behind her ear. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“I’m just afraid that if I say I’m unhappy, you’ll get upset,” Andrea said, her courage faltering, sounding a bit pitiful. “I get that you want to spend time with Rebecca and Samuel, but…”

“But your possessive side doesn’t want me to go, right?” Jeffrey read her thoughts.

Andrea bit her lip. “That’s right.”

Jeffrey kept his gaze on her.

“You told me I’m the most important person to you.” Having broken the ice, the rest came easier. “But you keep putting me second for them. It hurts.”

“Andrea.” Jeffrey’s tone shifted. His sudden seriousness gave her a bad feeling.

The next second, Jeffrey’s words slipped out. “You should know better than anyone why I said those things.”

Andrea stiffened, her breath hitching for a split second.

“You’re not fully recovered yet. I shouldn’t bring this up,” Jeffrey said calmly, adjusting the hair slipping over her shoulder. “But you’re in too deep.”

“That’s not…” Andrea panicked.

“Letting this continue will only lead to one outcome.” His hands remained gentle even as his words cut deep. “You know I don’t want anyone’s affection except Rebecca’s.”

Those simple sentences shattered Andrea’s heart like dropped porcelain.

She wanted to explain, but every excuse turned to ash under the weight of the recent event.

She had thought Jeffrey was asking about her feelings because he understood and wanted to give her special treatment, but now she realized that was just his way to get her to speak up about what was on her mind.

And she had truly fallen for it.

I really want to take care of you.” Jeffrey felt a drop of water land on his hand, realizing it
