Rebecca stared at him, wondering if he was being honest. This was the third time he had said it, and after nearly dying to save her this time, all he wanted was for her to talk things through with Jeffrey.

She wondered, ‘Is this still the Stephen I know?‘

She didn’t really know him, and based on what Jeffrey had told her before, Stephen wasn’t usually this considerate.

“I get why you’re worried, and I know you might think I’m taking advantage of you,” Stephen said, seeing through Rebecca’s thoughts. “I swear I’m not. All I want is a fair competition with him.”

“I’m sorry,” Rebecca refused. “Thank you for saving me, but I can’t agree to this.”

Love wasn’t something to negotiate, and she refused to be influenced by Stephen’s words. Only her own feelings mattered.

Stephen said in a calm tone, “You don’t need to apologize. I saved you purely because I know how important you are to Jeffrey. If anything happened to you, he’d go crazy.”

Rebecca remained silent.

Stephen sounded utterly sincere, and Rebecca couldn’t spot any hint of deception.

“It’s late. You should head back to the office,” Stephen said, glancing at his watch. “We’ll talk about this later.”

“I have one more question,” Rebecca said, trying to probe him a little.

“Go ahead,” Stephen said politely.

“What does Jeffrey mean to you?” Rebecca asked, sounding more serious than before. She wanted to figure out if Stephen had been honest.

Stephen chuckled softly.

Rebecca was puzzled.

Stephen said frankly, “Honestly, I don’t know him that well. The only thing I’m certain of is that he cares about you deeply.”

Rebecca fell silent. She suddenly realized why Jeffrey had kept telling her to watch out for Stephen. Despite being cautious, she found herself affected by Stephen’s honest words and composed demeanor.

“Alright, you should go back,” Stephen urged.

Rebecca nodded and made some small talk before heading off.
