Chapter 75

“Didn’t you know this answer from the start?” Her friend said, looking at her with complex emotions in his

eyes.

Andrea watched Jeffrey, Rebecca, and little Samuel walking hand in hand, madness and jealousy reaching their peak in her eyes. “But I refuse to accept this.”

Michelle asked, “What are you planning?”

Andrea clenched her fists. “I’ll make him come back to me.”

Even after his crystal–clear rejection. Even after her hopes had died at that moment.

The bitterness remained. ‘Why does Rebecca deserve his true love and devotion, while I, who saved his life, couldn’t earn even a shred of genuine affection?

‘What exactly makes me inferior to Rebecca?‘ she thought.

“Don’t do anything reckless,” Michelle cautioned. “Last night’s frank discussion was his way of warning you to back off. If you interfere with him and Samuel…”

Andrea knew full well his anger. But if she had an “accident,” even his rage would be tempered.

Unaware his earlier premonition had come true, Samuel pointed at the thrilling water park attractions, tilting his head up at Jeffrey. “Daddy, let’s try this one.”

Jeffrey clenched his fists at his sides. A flicker of unreadable emotion flashed in his eyes.

“Okay.” Samuel agreed, already piecing things together in his mind.

Jeffrey’s tense shoulders relaxed slightly. He was about to remind them to be careful when his phone rang. Andrea was calling.

Both Rebecca and Samuel paused to look at him. Jeffrey decisively declined the call.

Before he could pocket the device, the phone rang again. He’d clearly stated today was for Samuel. ‘What’s she thinking calling back after being rejected?‘ he thought.
