Chapter 17 Leon Took Sam's Watch

Tiffany had already taken the kids home. Barry walked back into the bedroom just as Sam called. Making sure Tiffany wouldn't come in, Barry cautiously answered the

phone.

"Hey Barry, how's it going with Mom?" Sam asked eagerly.

Thinking about what Tiffany had said today, Barry felt a lump in his throat and a wave of happiness. "Mom really loves us, Sam. I totally misunderstood her."

Hearing this, Sam finally relaxed. "See? I told you, Mom loves you! Why would I lie? I'm your big brother." Sam chuckled and scratched his nose.

"And what about you? Do you still not want Dad and Mom to get back together?" Barry nervously checked his watch, waiting for Sam's answer.

"Dad's still got some proving to do. He left Mom and said some pretty hurtful things!" Sam snorted, feeling protective of Tiffany.

"I don't think Dad's that kind of person. If he knew Mom was pregnant, he wouldn't have left her," Barry said, looking conflicted. Uncertain about the severity of their father actions, Sam acknowledged his consistent care for him, indicating his concern for his mother's children. How could he have just abandoned her?

"Here's the plan, Barry. You spend more time with Mom. When you're ready to go back to her, we'll show up together and tell her the truth. Meanwhile, I'll stay with Dad. If Dad steps up, then we'll let them remarry!" Sam was still hopeful. Being raised by Tiffany since they were young, Sam and Flora often inquired about their absent Dad. Tiffany would dodge the questions, claiming he was deceased, a lie Sam's instincts always sensed.

Barry agreed with Sam's plan. They chatted a bit more before hanging up.

As soon as Sam opened the door, he saw Leon outside. He wasn't sure if their secret had been exposed.

Sam was startled by Leon's gaze and nervously clutched his watch. "When did you get here, Dad?" Sam asked, lowering his head guiltily, unable to meet Leon's eyes.
