Rebecca was fussing over Samuel, reminding him again and again to call her if anything came up. She kept promising that no matter how busy she got, she’d drop everything and come running if he ever needed her.

Samuel just nodded and agreed. Mid–conversation, he glanced at Jeffrey and asked Rebecca, “Will Dad go?”

Rebecca looked up, her eyes meeting Jeffrey’s for a moment. She figured he probably wouldn’t go. She thought, ‘If Andrea hadn’t been in that car accident, maybe Jeffrey would’ve shown up.

‘But now that Andrea is stuck in the hospital, and he’s so worried about her, there’s no way he’d leave her alone.’

Jeffrey walked over and stopped in front of Samuel. He said, “I am not going. It’s your mom’s team event. If I dropped by, they’d just feel awkward.”

Rebecca could only pause, momentarily lost for words.

Samuel just pursed his lips and stayed quiet.

Jeffrey ruffled Samuel’s hair and said, “I’ve got some things to handle, so I’m heading out. Get some early rest tonight.”

Samuel nodded.

Rebecca didn’t spare Jeffrey a look.

Jeffrey said to Rebecca, “The same goes for you. Don’t run yourself ragged just for a paycheck–look after your health.” He withdrew his hand from Samuel’s hair and gave Rebecca a soft tap on the forehead.

Knowing she’d probably get annoyed, he disappeared into the other room to get changed, not even waiting for her reaction.

Rebecca was all set to shoot Jeffrey a death glare, but he’d vanished before she got the chance.

These past couple of days had felt like old times to Samuel, like when his parents were still together. As soon as Jeffrey closed the door behind him, Samuel hesitated for a moment before speaking up, “Mom, can I ask you something?”

Rebecca gave him a patient, gentle smile and said, “Sure, go ahead.”
