Chapter 270

At six o’clock, Cole returned home to find Jason lounging comfortably in the living room with little Isaac nestled in his arms. “Hey, look who’s here.” Cole said with a jovial grin.

“Hi,” Jason greeted.

Cole didn’t wear his emotions on his face like Autumn did. The way he interacted with Jason remained the same as it was before. From the corner sofa, Estrella’s peripheral vision occasionally swept over Cole, gauging his mood with a watchful eye.

When Autumn called them to dinner, Estrella set down the Lego bricks that Isaac had been playing with and scooped up the little boy to head over, with Jason and Cole following close behind.

“Don’t be shy, Jason. Make yourself at home,” Autumn urged him warmly as she ladled soup into his bowl.

Estrella shot her mother a glance, amused by how quick-witted her mother was becoming in her subtle digs at Jason.

But in reality, Autumn was just being hospitable without any hidden agendas. She usually wore her hearts on her sleeves and wouldn’t be so discreet about it.
