Rupert was stunned. “Dad, this… this is too sudden. I need to discuss this with Claudia. Is that okay?”

“Rupert, we bought that house for you. Now that we have nowhere to live, do we need your wife’s permission to stay with our son? You’re really spineless,” Jimmy criticized.

Rupert quickly explained, “Dad, that’s not what I meant. I just need to let Claudia know so she can prepare. I’m sure she’ll be happy to have you over.”

“If that’s the case, then take us to your place now,” Jimmy insisted. “Your mom just got out of the hospital and isn’t fully recovered yet. Do you really want us to be homeless?”

“Dad, of course not,” Rupert forced a smile. “Dad, let’s go.”

Jimmy and Peyton got into Rupert’s car.

Once inside, Rupert glanced at his parents through the rearview mirror, his brow furrowed.

He started the car and drove away from the hospital.

His hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his heart filled with anxiety.

When the car stopped, Jimmy got out and realized they weren’t at Rupert’s neighborhood.

Jimmy looked up and saw the sign for a hotel. “Rupert, what’s the meaning of this?”

“Dad, Mom, please stay at the hotel for just one night,” Rupert said cautiously.

“You know Claudia’s been alone at home since she got pregnant, and I’m always at work. “The house is a mess, and the rooms are filled with clutter. I’ll clean up tonight and pick you up tomorrow. It’ll be more comfortable for you. What do you think?”

Jimmy glanced at Peyton, who had remained silent.

Peyton spoke softly, “Let’s listen to Rupert. One night won’t hurt.”
