“Are you trying to help me look for my dad?” Samuel caught on to Jeffrey’s mood and couldn’t resist poking fun at him, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“I’ve only ever seen people getting rid of their romantic rivals, not going out of their way to make things harder for themselves,” Jeffrey retorted, his voice steady. “Finding your dad is on you, Samuel. As Mr. Hanson, this is one battle I can’t fight for you.” Jeffrey kept his cool, but he was definitely playing his cards close to his chest.

Samuel looked at him with wide eyes. “Then I’m not sleeping next to you anymore.”

Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”

Samuel said, “I’ll sleep on my own.”

Jeffrey didn’t hesitate. He threw back the covers and said, “Alright.”

Samuel was left blinking, a little confused.

Samuel was left blinking, a little confused.

‘When did Dad start giving in so easily?‘ Samuel wondered.

“When your mom asks, just make sure you tell her it was you who said I could go stay in her room,” Jeffrey said, sitting up with a relaxed, cool tone. “Wasn’t my idea.”

Samuel blinked, baffled. “Wait, when did I ever say you could go to Mom’s room?”

Samuel’s worry vanished in an instant.

‘And here I was, actually worried I’d hurt the old guy’s feelings—and I was even about to give him a little comfort so he wouldn’t feel so down,‘ Samuel thought to himself.

‘But in the end…‘ Samuel just felt speechless.

“Goodnight,” Jeffrey said as he climbed out of bed.

Samuel sat firm on the bed, not even trying to stop him. “Go on then, but I bet Mr. Mason will totally kick you

out for sure.”
