Chapter 143

At that moment, Estrella caught Jason’s gaze as he was already watching her.

Their eyes locked, and with an air of calm, Estrella said, “Answer it.”

Jason’s heart skipped a beat, his nerves frayed. But faced with Estrella’s unyielding stare, Jason reluctantly answered the call in front of her. It was the only way to clear the air.
