Chapter 197
Jeffrey’s eyes bore into her, dark and intense.
Rebecca met his stare, unwavering, calm in her eyes.
The air between them grew heavy with tension.
Neither spoke; the silence stretched longer.
After what felt like forever, Jeffrey finally spoke up. He reached out, gently tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, his face calm as always. “I’ll do my best to win your mom over.”
Rebecca gave a half–hearted, “Mm.”
Jeffrey’s fingers slid from her ear to her cheek. “I’m heading out. Make sure to rest up while you’re at the hospital.”
Rebecca replied, “Mm.”
Jeffrey added, “Call me if you need anything.”
Rebecca answered in a dull monotone, “Okay.”
“So cold?” Jeffrey said, lightly pinching her cheek, his tone still doting. “I just got chewed out by your mom. Aren’t you even going to comfort me a little?”
Rebecca replied without a hint of warmth, “I wouldn’t know how.” “When I don’t love someone, I can’t hide it. “Just go home and rest up.”
Jeffrey’s expression didn’t change. “Fine. Whatever you say, Becky.”
Rebecca couldn’t even be bothered to respond.
Jeffrey knew she really didn’t want to talk to him, so he let it go. “Go on, get going.”
“Okay.” Rebecca didn’t hesitate; she just turned and walked away.
Jeffrey watched as Rebecca walked farther and farther away, never once looking back, until she slipped completely out of sight. For a brief moment, emotion churned in his usually calm, dark eyes–then it all faded, replaced by a cold indifference.
The driver quickly got out and opened the car door for him.
Jeffrey slid into the seat, face unreadable. He hadn’t even sat upright before he noticed there was someone already in the car with him.
“Hey,” Stanley said, forcing a smile.
Jeffrey furrowed his brow. “Why are you here?”

Stanley replied offhandedly. “Heard your wife’s real dad is the Chairman of Guzman Group, so I came over to nose around a bit. Who would’ve thought I’d land right in the middle of such an awkward situation?”
If I’d known things would get this awkward, I would’ve waited for the car to start moving before showing my face.
Jeffrey pressed his lips together, his gaze growing chilly.
The driver asked, “Mr. Hanson, do you want to go to the office or back to Becky’s place?”
Jeffrey replied, “The office.”
