In the afternoon, Rachel intentionally packed up and went home an hour earlier than usual.
“Mommy, why are you back so early today?” Samuel asked as he hopped off the couch with a surprised look on his face.
Rachel then picked him up. “Samuel, I would like to discuss something with you.”
“What is it?”
“I will be staying with Charlotte for some time. Can you live with Jolly for the time being?”
“Sure.” Samuel immediately agreed, which surprised Rachel. She fell silent for a moment before she added, “Samuel, I may be gone for quite some time, though.”
“You can stay there as long as you need to. I’m sure Charlotte must have missed you. Since you have never stayed by her side for a long time before, I don’t mind lending you to her for the time being.”
His words warmed Rachel’s heart and she praised, “Samuel, you are really my good baby.”
Jolly, who returned rather early that day as well, helped Rachel to carry her luggage into the car. “I know that whatever I say won’t be of much help to you since you have always been a more careful and thorough person than I am. Anyway, please be careful.”
“I understand. Please take good care of Samuel.”
“You can rest assured. Of course I will take good care of my son.”
