Chapter 255

Inside the small coin purse, besides a few coins that jingled out, the rest were still just coins.

With a look of distaste, Estrella said to Isaac, “I thought you were hoarding some secret stash behind my back. Turns out it’s just a handful of nickels and dimes. You might as well save them for a kiddie ride.”

Isaac wasn’t pleased when Estrella handed back the purse. He pouted his little lips and pushed the purse back towards Estrella, his voice earnest and childishly solemn, “It’s my treat.”

Across the table, Jason chuckled, “Let the kid show off a bit, will ya?”

Jason’s words had a playful undertone. Isaac’s stubbornness really did take after him and Estrella in that respect.

“Alright, alright,” Estrella conceded, unable to resist Isaac’s insistence. “You’re treating.”

What could that little bit of money treat anyone to, anyway? But not wanting to hurt Isaac’s feelings, Estrella pocketed the coins.

They had planned to hit the amusement park after lunch, but just as they finished eating and Jason carried Isaac onto the elevator, the child nestled into his arms and fell asleep. The two had no choice but to head home.

Isaac’s affection for him, and his eagerness to play with him – Jason saw it all.

As soon as Jason finished speaking, Estrella looked up at him, her voice laced with accusation, “Jason, I knew it. You’ve never trusted me. No matter what I say, you always doubt me.”
