“Then send another one,” Charlotte said, fiddling with her phone, her freshly done nails looking gorgeous. “Just say, ‘I really like you, can I sleep with you?” ”

Rebecca was speechless.

Rebecca shot a glance at her son.

Samuel tilted his little head up, looking absolutely adorable. “Do I have to say it again?”

“No need,” Rebecca said, unable to bring herself to let Samuel send that message. It was just too shameless. “You keep reading your book, and I’ll figure something out.”

“Okay,” Samuel replied obediently.

As soon as Rebecca headed back to the study, Samuel quickly sent Jeffrey a voice message. “Mr. Hanson, if you don’t make a move soon, I won’t just have a dozen new dads–Charlotte might bring me a dad who’s basically my big sis!”

Jeffrey was at his new house when he got the message.

He replied with a question mark.

Samuel: “Auntie Charlotte just asked Mom to call her ‘big sis.””

Jeffrey was at a loss for words.

Samuel: “Even though Mom turned her phone’s volume way down, I still heard Auntie Charlotte tell her to say, ‘I really like you, can I sleep with you?“”

Jeffrey absentmindedly stroked his phone, lost in thought.

After a long moment, he finally asked, “Did your mom say it?”

“No idea,” Samuel replied, deliberately glancing over at the study to make Jeffrey sweat a little. “She took her phone and went back inside, and her cheeks were kind of red when she left.”

“Mm.” Jeffrey responded flatly, though a hint of helplessness lingered in his voice.

Who she chatted with and what she talked about–none of it was his business anymore.

She’d set strict boundaries: no interfering in her life, no sending people to secretly watch over her, no tracking her, and definitely no showing up around her.

Samuel: “If you don’t care about Mom, then I’m not sharing anything with you anymore!”

Jeffrey typed something at first, paused, deleted it, and finally sent: [As long as you’re happy.]

Samuel saw the reply and decisively exited the conversation.
