“What’s your plan moving forward?”
Matthew’s expression darkened.
“I won’t let him off,” he declared somberly.
“Despite whatever difficulties he may have, he’s harmed my wife and mother repeatedly. I have to make him pay.”
Waldo didn’t try to dissuade him.
While he had initially considered sparing Benny due to their blood ties, the repeated provocations had crossed a line.
Nodding, Waldo offered some advice.
“But don’t push him too hard. You don’t want to provoke rash actions and more outrageous acts.”
Matthew Looked at Waldo with a hint of doubt.
“Do you want me to let Benny go?”
Matthew wanted to gauge Waldo’s stance first before confronting Benny.
Recognizing the potential for misunderstanding, Waldo shook his head.
“You deal with this matter. I won’t get in your way.”
With Waldo’s agreement, Matthew felt a bit of tension release. After inquiring about Waldo’s health, Matthew left the house and returned to Prosper Bay.

On the way home, he considered what to say to console Amara, but upon entering, he found her already packed and waiting for him in the living room.
Frowning at the suitcase beside her, Matthew asked, “Mom, what are you doing?”
“Matthew, I’ve thought about it. I should go back to Fairwa. I’m more accustomed to life there. I don’t want to disturb you and Stella,” Amara explained.
“If living in Prosper Bay makes you uncomfortable, I can buy you an apartment,” Matthew suggested, attempting to convince her to stay.
“We’re happy to have you here. If it’s because of Grandpa…”
“No.” Amara interrupted.
“I just want to go back.”
Amara might have seemed amenable, but Matthew knew how unyielding she could be. Once she made a decision, convincing her otherwise was nearly impossible.
Looking at her with a touch of helplessness, Matthew sighed.
“Mom, I won’t insist that you stay with me. I simply want to take better care of you and ensure you don’t get hurt again.”
