Chapter 221

A flicker of surprise passed through Rebecca’s eyes.

She hadn’t expected him to bring that up.

What really kept her up at night was how the divorce might mess with Samuel’s head. But there was no way she could just grit her teeth and keep on living with Jeffrey. So almost every time Samuel asked for something, she’d go along with it.

If he wanted to see Jeffrey, she wouldn’t stop him.

If he wanted to go back to Jelasburg during the holidays, she wouldn’t say no.

As long as he grew up healthy and happy, she’d say yes to pretty much anything he wanted when it came to these things.

“He probably won’t make it,” Rebecca said, since Jeffrey was still hospitalized.

Samuel nodded knowingly.

That night, Samuel sent Jeffrey a message on his smartwatch: “Classic Mr. Hanson, you never disappoint.”

Jeffrey: “?”

Jeffrey sent a voice message: “Miss me?”

Samuel replied stubbornly, “I’m too busy hunting for a new dad to have time for you.”

Jeffrey teased back, “So your love for your mom isn’t all that strong, I see.”

Samuel’s little face scrunched up in confusion.

‘What’s that supposed to mean?‘ Samuel wondered.

“Do you even know what bigamy is?” Jeffrey’s voice was low and smooth, as calm as ever. “Your mom isn’t divorced from me yet. Trying to help her find someone else right now is just asking for trouble, you know?”

Samuel puffed up a little. “Who says my new dad has to marry my mom?”

Jeffrey’s eyes crinkled at the corners.

Samuel thought about how Jeffrey acted and deliberately tried to poke at him. “As long as my mom doesn’t get married to any of them, she could date ten guys and it wouldn’t break any laws. I’d even call all ten of her boyfriends ‘Dad.”

Jeffrey was speechless.

Samuel kept going, sending another voice message. “You should be pretty familiar with this, since that’s exactly how Jessica’s been hanging around you all this time.”
