After the divorce, he begged

Chapter 258

Samuel sent the message to Jeffrey.

Jeffrey replied just like before: [Before you start playing matchmaker, look into the guy’s character, his family situation, and how serious he is about relationships. Make sure he’s really into your mom.]

Seeing that response, Samuel felt even more messed up.

What’s really going on between Dad and Mom?‘ Samuel wondered.

‘Is he seriously asking me to play matchmaker?‘ Samuel thought, feeling even more confused.

“Guess you don’t love Mom as much as you claim,” Samuel muttered as he took a different path. “You moved on pretty quickly after the divorce.”

Jeffrey gazed out the massive floor–to–ceiling window.

‘If I hadn’t promised Rebecca, I never would have let her go, he thought to himself.

‘Since I can never interfere in her life again, the least I can do is respect every choice she and Samuel make, he told himself.

With that in mind, Jeffrey quickly pulled himself together, shot back a short reply, and got back to work: [Go to bed early.]

Samuel couldn’t hide the complicated feelings on his face.

‘Dad’s acting so weird lately, Samuel grumbled inwardly. ‘If the piano tutor wasn’t coming tomorrow, I’d fly straight back to Jelasburg just to have a real talk with him.’

That night, none of the three of them got any real sleep.

Rebecca lay awake until dawn, Jeffrey pulled an all–nighter, and Samuel didn’t finally drift off until two or three in the morning.

The next morning, Rebecca and Samuel came down for breakfast, both unable to stop yawning. When Amelia saw the state they were in, she teased, “Did you two sneak out last night and leave me behind?”

Rebecca and Samuel shared a glance.

‘Like we could tell her we lost sleep because we were thinking about Dad, Samuel thought, and Rebecca pretty much echoed the sentiment in her head.

“Should I let your piano teacher know not to come today?” Amelia joked, seeing how wiped out Samuel looked. “You definitely deserve to catch up on sleep.”

Samuel perked up and looked at Rebecca, puppy–eyed. “Is that okay?”

“Of course,” Rebecca said warmly, not making a big deal out of it. “I’ll just let the tutor know and make it up to
