“You’ve taken a guess, so whatever I say, you’re not going to believe it, Jeffrey replied with a laid–back tone. “There’s really no point in me explaining myself.”

“Whether I believe you or not is up to me,” Samuel pressed. “But whether you choose to answer, that shows your attitude.”

Jeffrey shrugged. Tve already made my feelings clear to your mom.”

Samuel fell silent. He didn’t want to waste another word on Jeffrey.

While Samuel was questioning Jeffrey, Jessica was also grilling Rebecca. “What’s up with you and Jeffrey? Why was he still holding your hand?”

What really shocked Jessica was that Rebecca hadn’t even pulled her hand away.

“He’s still refusing to divorce me,” Rebecca said, gazing out the window as the breeze ruffled her hair.

“Wasn’t that all settled before?” Jessica tried to recall. Then she asked, “Did you guys bring it up again in

Honnala?”

Rebecca felt a mess of emotions inside. “Yeah.”

“So, what did you guys actually talk about?” Jessica kept digging.

Rebecca started to say something, but as Jessica floored the gas pedal, she swallowed her words. “I’ll tell you when we get to your place.”

“You think I can’t handle a juicy story while driving?” Jessica shot back, clearly getting Rebecca’s point. “It’s not your driving; it’s what happened. It’s crazy, like nothing you’ve heard before.” Rebecca leaned in, emotions flashing across her face. “If I spill now, you’ll definitely be swearing and speeding.

Jessica was curious, thinking, “Is there really anything crazier than Jeffrey keeping someone on the side?‘

“I’m not trying to get myself killed here,” Rebecca quipped.

Jessica rolled her eyes.

Half an hour later, they finally made it to Jessica’s place. The moment they stepped through the door, Jessica hopped out of her shoes and immediately pressed, “Alright, now I need details! How crazy was it?”

Rebecca let out a sigh and started spilling everything.
