Jeffrey, come over and have a chat,” Amelia called out to him. She caught the look in his eyes when he glanced at Rebecca.

Jeffrey walked over and sat down.

Amelia kept a polite smile, but she didn’t pull any punches. She asked, “So, have you made up your mind about what we discussed before?”

Jeffrey replied firmly, “I already told you. Rebecca is my wife, and I’m not divorcing her.”

Amelia pressed, “Even if she’s unhappy with you?”

Jeffrey said, “I’ll do everything I can to make her happy.”

Amelia locked eyes with him and asked, “And if she’s still unhappy after all your efforts?”

Jeffrey said, “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. But right now, the bigger question is whether you want Rebecca to acknowledge Ryan as her father. From what I’ve heard, he’s been making preparations for that since he returned to Honnala.”

Amelia shot back, “What does that have to do with me?”

Jeffrey said, “Rebecca is his daughter.”

Amelia asked, “And where’s the proof?”

Jeffrey paused for a second, a little stunned.

Amelia continued, “A private DNA test isn’t legally binding. Even if he tries to take it to court, he’ll lose. He doesn’t stand a chance with this.”

Jeffrey didn’t say a word. His question was just him probing, trying to see if Rebecca would ever admit Ryan was her dad–and working out his next move.

Amelia saw right through him but didn’t expose it. Instead, she added, “But if anyone tries to mess with Rebecca, I won’t hesitate to use him to shield her.”

Jeffrey glanced up and thought, ‘Amelia is just too clever for her own good.

Just then, Rebecca walked over after finishing her chat with Timothy. She asked, “What do you mean by using him?”

Amelia replied, “Nothing. Why don’t you arrange for a couple of cleaners to come tidy up our place later? Since we’re leaving the hospital next week, it’ll be nice to go home to a fresh house.”

Rebecca replied, “Okay.”
