“Really?” Ian still looked uneasy.

“Seriously,” Jessica scoffed, rolling her eyes. “You’re never this awkward about anything else. It’s like you turn. into a whole different person when it’s about feelings.”

Ian mumbled, “You wouldn’t understand.”

Jessica shrugged, “Maybe I don’t. But honestly, if you don’t even have the guts to admit you like someone, then what’s the point?”

“Yeah, right. Like you’d ever confess if you fell for someone,” Ian retorted.

“What’s there to be scared of?” Jessica said confidently. “If I ever find a guy I like and he’s not taken, I’d chase after him with everything I’ve got.”

Ian’s lips twitched.

Jessica ground her teeth. “What’s with that face?”

Ian, not the least bit worried about getting smacked, said, “Honestly, I feel bad for whoever you decide to like.”

He really couldn’t picture Jessica actually having a crush on someone. With how quick she was to throw punches whenever she got annoyed, he’d bet if someone didn’t like her back, she’d just chase them down and rough them up.

“Careful, or I’ll go tell Rebecca you like her right now,” Jessica teased, knowing full well he was asking for it.

“Anyone you fall for is blessed beyond belief!” Ian backpedaled instantly, realizing he couldn’t afford to cross ‘her. “Honestly, whoever ends up as your husband is going to be one lucky guy.”

Jessica rolled her eyes and didn’t bother responding.

She glanced in the direction Rebecca had gone, then started the car and drove off.

When Rebecca walked in, Amelia and Samuel were waiting for her in the living room. The moment Samuel saw her, he toddled over as fast as his little legs could carry him and threw his arms around her. “Mommy!”

Rebecca crouched down to hug him back.

Samuel gave her a loud, smacking kiss on the cheek.

Rebecca was a little surprised. ‘Why is he being so affectionate all of a sudden?‘ she wondered.

“Mommy,” Samuel called out sweetly.

Rebecca’s voice lifted at the end, her face soft with affection. “Yes?”

Samuel’s big, round eyes were absolutely adorable. “Are you feeling better now?”
