After the divorce he begged novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158

“Rebecca is my wife, Jeffrey said. His voice was calm, but his expression softened as he looked at Rebecca. “We’re married”

Faye looked at Rebecca with excitement. “Oh my god! You’re the boss’s wife?”

Without another word, Jeffrey scooped up the suitcase and led Rebecca out, holding her hand.

Watching the picture–perfect couple disappear down the hall, Faye was beside herself. I would’ve never guessed Rebecca was the wife of the boss. So she really was just slumming it at PrimePlay Technologies for the experience?”

Rebecca froze in the doorway at her words, her eyes showing a hint of self–mockery and bitterness. “Of course, that’s what they’d think, she thought.

“Do you really think she’d work that hard just for an ‘experience?” Ella jumped in to defend Rebecca. “Don’t mix up personal effort with background.”

“Then why would she work at PrimePlay Technologies?” Faye pressed on. “The Hanson Group is a large…

Rebecca didn’t hear the rest. All that effort, every single difficult day she’d pushed through—it all meant nothing now. With one sentence, Jeffrey erased it all.

“Are you hungry?” Jeffrey asked, as if nothing had happened at all. “Do you want some late–night snacks?”

Rebecca shook off his hand the moment they stepped into the room, her entire demeanor bristling with anger and disgust.

“Do you even care at all?‘ she snapped. “Samuel has just gotten out of danger, and you’re already thinking about snacks? You haven’t even bothered to check if this allergy will leave him with any lasting damage.

Rebecca unleashed everything she’d been holding back, anger and frustration flooding out in waves.

Jeffrey stayed silent, neither interrupting nor offering a defense. He understood that, after everything. Rebecca needed to let it all out. He’d caused this, and now he was the one who deserved to bear it.

After two minutes, Rebecca’s tirade finally wound down. Her heart was still gripped with concern for Samuel. “I need to take leave and return to Jelasburg immediately,” she said urgently.

To Rebecca, no job was more important than Samuel’s safety. She’d been working so hard just to secure their future.

*Samuel’s fine,” Jeffrey said, answering all her concerns. “The doctors have confirmed there will be no lasting effects. We’ll have the answers about what caused the allergy within three days. Whether he returns to the summer camp will be his decision to make.”

Rebecca insisted, “I’m taking a leave.”

Jeffrey replied, “That’s your decision to make.”

Rebecca felt her temper spike.

Seeing that she was furious, Jeffrey immediately relented. “Alright, we’ll return to Jelasburg first thing tomorrow morning. Your leave is approved.

With his answer, Rebecca opened the employee app and submitted her request. She was just too stubborn; sometimes it made people think she didn’t know how to bend,

Jeffrey’s phone buzzed–a special alert for Rebecca’s leave requests, set to go straight to him. He approved it immediately.

Just as Jeffrey was about to say something, Rebecca picked up her phone, walked into another room, and locked the door. Leaning back against the door, she started messaging Samuel. Every single message was full

of care and concem.

Samuel was asleep, and she didn’t want to wake him with a call. She just wanted him to see how much she cared the moment he opened his eyes.

If not for the sold–out flights and the immense distance between Honnala and Jelasburg, she would have rented a car and driven through the night to get back to him.

Jeffrey could guess what she was doing. He called Emory. “Hasn’t Samuel woken up yet?”

Emory glanced at the soundly sleeping child. “No, he hasn’t.”

“You’re certain he’s perfectly fine? No adverse reactions?” Jeffrey pressed. “And no long–term issues?”

*Absolutely. You have my word, Emory reassured him. A low hum was Jeffrey’s only reply.

Emory opened his mouth to offer more reassurance, but Jeffrey interjected. “Wake him up.”

There was a beat of silence. “Now?” Emory asked, hesitating.

“Right now,” Jeffrey confirmed. Now that he knew Samuel was out of danger, he had shifted back into his usual role as the dad who loved to banter with his son. “Once he’s awake, tell him to check the Rebecca on his smartwatch.”

Emory was visibly hesitant. “Are you sure about this?” he asked.

This is the young master of the Hanson Group, Emory thought. If he wakes up cranky, what am I supposed to do? I can only try to calm him down

Jeffrey’s patience was wearing thin. “Don’t make me repeat again.”

“Right away.” Emory murmured, his voice shaky with nerves as he approached Samuel’s bed. Noting the call was still active, he tentatively whispered, “Samuel, time to wake up.”

“Samuel,” he tried again, his voice hushed as if afraid to disturb the air itself. “Your dad is asking for you.”

Jeffrey frowned, clearly losing patience. He told Emory to put the phone on speaker and crank up the volume, then personally called Samuel twice. Just two calls, and Samuel snapped awake from his messy dreams.

Samuel’s drowsiness vanished instantly. He opened his eyes to ask why, and then it hit him that this won’t the

After a three–minute explanation, Samuel finally understood what hard happened it all mare verse now. The fitful dreams of being chased by monsters and saved by heroes coincided with his allergie reaction. A moment later, he called Rebecca.
