A hint of panic flickered in his eyes. "Are you mad at me? Or did my grandpa upset you? If I'd known, we wouldn't have come back... We can leave Seaville; we'll go tomorrow

He was getting flustered.

Kelly shook his head. "Don't rush; that's not what I meant. What Ken said today made sense too. Your grandpa doesn't have much time left to stir up trouble. Why don't you pretend to go along with him for now? Once everything is over-"

"I knew he was up to no good! Don't listen to his nonsense!" Zev pulled Kelly into a tight embrace, his breathing unsteady.

He wouldn't allow Kelly to say such things.

He wouldn't allow Kelly to utter the word "divorce".

Absolutely not.

"I'm just discussing it with you; don't get upset... If you don't agree, we'll think of another way. Worst case, I'll agree to let your grandpa take Jasper for a paternity test first." Kelly reassured him softly.

Zev's arms tightened around him. "From now on, don't ever bring up divorce again

He was afraid he'd lose control.

Kelly nodded. "Okay..."

After everything they had been through, Kelly wasn't the only one with trauma.

Zev had survived countless life-and-death situations, working undercover in high-pressure environments. His trauma and psychological wounds ran far deeper than Kelly's.

But he always acted carefree, as if as long as he was alive, nothing else mattered.

But did it really not matter?
