After giving instructions to Elmer, Amelia turned to Rebecca and asked, “Are you going to invite him?”

She didn’t say who she meant, but Rebecca knew exactly who she was talking about.

“No need to invite him,” Jeffrey said, knowing Rebecca as well as she knew him. “He wouldn’t miss any of Samuel’s important days. He’ll show up when the time comes.”

At the same time, Samuel was asking the same question.

Only, the person he was pestering was Jeffrey.

The two of them were always at each other’s throats with their playful banter. Samuel put on a dead–serious face and declared, “Since you’re my original dad, I’ll save you a slice of my birthday cake. You don’t have to thank me or anything.”

“Don’t bother. I don’t need it,” Jeffrey replied lazily, not missing a beat in their usual back–and–forth.

Samuel stopped for a second, caught off guard.

‘He really doesn’t want a slice… he muttered, feeling a little bummed.

‘Wait, does that mean he’s not coming?‘ Samuel worried.

“Alright, if that’s how it’s gonna be, I’ll just save the cake for my other dads,” Samuel retorted, stubborn as ever. “Just don’t get jealous or throw a fit later!”

Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. “Come on, you really think I’d get jealous over cake?”

“Yeah, you totally are,” Samuel fired back, not missing a beat.

Jeffrey shot him a playful look. “Really? News to me.”

“You made me sleep alone as soon as I turned three,” Samuel started listing it out for him, eyes narrowed. “And you convinced me that a three–year–old tough guy shouldn’t stick with his mom.”

“Yep, that’s exactly how it went,” Jeffrey admitted, completely unabashed.

“After that, if I wanted to sleep next to Mom, I had to basically do boss fights and level up for you,” Samuel grumbled, still nursing a grudge about the whole thing.

Samuel knew that nobody could ever love him as much as his dad did–Jeffrey was one of a kind when it came to being a father.

But on the flip side, Jeffrey was seriously clingy with Rebecca. Every single night, he just wanted Mom all to himself, not giving a second thought to the fact that Samuel, as a kid, really needed her too.
