Jeffrey kept his composure, betraying no hint of emotion at Andrea’s query.

His unresponsiveness unsettled Andrea.

“As long as I haven’t earned a death sentence, I’m the only one who gets to decide my fate,” Jeffrey responded, his voice calm and deliberate. “Even if you did save my life, that doesn’t give you the right to make decisions. for me.”

Andrea’s fingers clenched her sleeves tighter, feeling a heavy weight pressing on her heart.

Jeffrey’s rationality was almost terrifying. He was indeed a madman when it came to logic.

“Is there anything else you need?” Jeffrey inquired.

“No,” Andrea replied, feeling utterly drained and helpless from his brief response. “You can leave.”

Jeffrey gave a subtle nod and exited the room.

Andrea observed as his figure gradually vanished from sight. Her heart should have been crushed, but at that very instant, her fixation only intensified.

A voice echoed persistently in her mind, “If Rebecca can have him, so can you. He doesn’t love you because he met Rebecca first. If Rebecca were gone, he’d finally see you.”

Andrea thought, ‘That’s right. It’s all Rebecca’s fault. If she weren’t there, everything would have changed. Eliminate Rebecca, and he’ll have no choice but to truly see me.

Jeffrey left the hospital and went straight to Maple Garden. He showered and changed at his place before heading to Rebecca’s.

Seeing him, Rebecca tried to shut the door, but he easily pushed his way in. At that moment, Rebecca realized how important a security camera was.

“This is trespassing,” Rebecca accused.

Jeffrey handed her his phone, coolly saying, “Go ahead and call the police.”

Rebecca was speechless, thinking, ‘What can he do except this?‘

She’d have called without hesitation if not for Samuel.

“Yes,” Samuel chimed in, stepping forward with his smartwatch glowing. “Hello, police officer. A man broke into our house. My mom told him to leave, but he won’t.”

Rebecca paused, one eyebrow arched in surprise.

Jeffrey looked bewildered.

They both stood there, momentarily taken aback.

The officer’s voice came through on Samuel’s smartwatch immediately. “Are you and your mom safe at the moment?”

“We’re safe,” Samuel answered, his tone mature for his age. “But this man has been entering our home without permission multiple times, and it’s causing a lot of distress for us. I’d appreciate it if you could come and have a word with him.”

After asking a few more questions and getting their address, the officer ended the call.

Rebecca hesitated before asking, “Sweetie, did you really just call the police?”

Samuel nodded. “Yes, I did.”

Jeffrey was speechless, wondering, ‘He’s my son. How can he treat me like this?‘

“Mr. Hanson is connected to me, so you’ve tolerated him, but ignoring him just lets him push further. If we keep backing down, he’ll get worse. We need to face this head–on,” Samuel said earnestly.

Rebecca was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Samuel to speak up so strongly..

She reached out to affectionately ruffle his hair, her voice warm with pride. “You’re absolutely right, honey.”

Jeffrey observed their exchange. Instead of irritation, he felt an unexpected sense of pride. Samuel was brave enough to call the police to safeguard Rebecca.

It was a good thing. Indeed, Samuel’s devotion to Rebecca was remarkable.

He was so protective of her that he’d readily side against Jeffrey if it meant keeping her safe.

“Mr. Hanson, I’ve contacted the police,” Samuel declared, standing by Rebecca’s side, his height barely reaching her waist. “If you leave now and wait for them outside, they might go easier on you.”

Jeffrey walked up to Samuel. “Didn’t your dad ever tell you not to call the cops right in front of the bad guy?”

“No,” Samuel answered honestly, without hesitation. “He’s always with other women. Too busy for me.”

Jeffrey clenched his jaw and pinched Samuel’s cheek. “You’re really good at making things up. I don’t recall your parents teaching you how to lie so well.”

Samuel frowned, wincing. “Ouch. That hurts!”

“What are you doing?” Rebecca pulled Jeffrey’s hand away, making him release Samuel.

Feeling her touch after such a long time, Jeffrey naturally glanced at her slender, pale hand. He couldn’t resist joking, “I’m pretty sure victims don’t just grab the bad guy’s hand like that.”

Rebecca and Samuel were kind of speechless.

Samuel was surprised he had the nerve to say that and retorted, “You are so shameless.”

“Well, if I hadn’t been shameless, you wouldn’t even be here,” Jeffrey replied calmly.

Rebecca and Samuel fell silent again.

They both sensed that Jeffrey was behaving oddly today, not overtly, but there was a definite, subtle shift in his demeanor from what they’d seen lately.

“Come help me with something,” Jeffrey said, taking Samuel’s hand. Glancing at Rebecca with a casual smile, he added, “Mind if I borrow him for two minutes?”

Rebecca looked at Samuel, who gave her a thumbs–up.

Without stopping them, she simply reiterated, “Two minutes.”

“Sure thing,” Jeffrey agreed, getting up and leading Samuel by the hand. He took Samuel to his own place. As they entered, Samuel looked around, a bit taken aback by the fresh look of the apartment.

As soon as Jeffrey released his grip, Samuel gazed up at him, confused. “So, what exactly are we getting here?”

Jeffrey went into the study and retrieved a file folder. “Just some documents that show I’m really connected to your mom. The police will want evidence when they arrive.”
