Chapter 189
Jeffrey just stared at her, and Rebecca met his stare without flinching. The tension between them was a thick wall of silence. Neither of them spoke.
Finally, he broke it, reaching out to smooth a stray piece of hair from her face. His face was a calm mask. “Then I’ll just have to work harder,” he said softly, “to win your mother over.”
“Okay,” Rebecca said, her voice flat.
Jeffrey’s fingers lingered, sliding slowly from her car down to her check. “I’m going now. You stay and be a good daughter.”
“Okay,” she said.
“Call me if you need anything,” he added.
Her response was robotic. “Okay.”
“So cold,” Jeffrey said, giving her cheek a gentle squeeze. His voice was sickly sweet. “Your mother just tore me to shreds in there. Don’t you think I deserve a little comfort?”
When Rebecca was done with someone, she didn’t hide it. “I don’t know how to comfort you,” she said flatly.
“Go home. Get some rest.”
Jeffrey’s gaze stayed gentle. “Yes, ma’am. Whatever you say.”
Rebecca couldn’t even be bothered to react to his sarcasm. Jeffrey could feel the wall of her disgust and decided to back off for now. “Go on,” he said. “Go back inside.”
“Okay,” Rebecca said, turning and walking away without another word.
Jeffrey stood there and watched her. The hospital doors swallowed her up, and she never looked back. The calm mask on his face finally dissolved, leaving behind something cold and hard as stone.
The driver hurried to open the rear door. Jeffrey got in, his expression blank, and stopped short. Someone was already in his seat.
“Hey, man,” Stanley said, managing a weak smile.
Jeffrey frowned. “Why are you here?”
“I heard some rumors that Rebecca’s dad is the head of the Guzman Group, and I came to get the scoop,” Stanley said, trying to sound casual. “Didn’t expect to walk right into… that.”
‘Great timing, Stanley,’ he mentally kicked himself. ‘Should’ve just waited around the corner.
Jeffrey’s lips formed a thin, hard line. He said nothing, his eyes cold as ice.
“Mr. Hanson,” the driver asked, “should I take you to the office or back to the manor?”
