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.

“Jason,” came Serene’s voice through the phone, already tinged with a sob.

“I’m just so exhausted!”

After her confession, Serene burst into tears. Soon after, her brother’s voice came through, “Jason, why has my mom become like this? She just hit me and my sister. Jason, I miss you so much! It’s been so long since I’ve seen you.”

Before Serene could finish, Jason cut her off, “I understand.”
