Serene’s sobs were soft and sorrowful. Jason remained stoic, his voice calm as
he said, “I'll send Drew over to help you out.” With that, he ended the call and
promptly dialed Drew, instructing him to make a trip over.

unbuckled. herself and hurried out after him. She caught up and looped her arms
through Jason's. He glanced down at her with a frosty look, but Estrella
maintained her usual cheery demeanor-an utter contrast to Serene’s tearful

When Estrella emerged from the shower, Jason was already on the bed, deeply
engrossed in a book, his nose still framed by those gold-rimmed glasses.
Approaching the bed, Estrella knelt down, but before she could speak, Jason
raised his hand, pressing a finger to her forehead to maintain a distance between

Estrella sighed, already knowing from
the conversation that Jo had fought
with her husband about the divorce

and pouring herself a glass of water
with the other, Estrella consoled her,
“Jo, we've done all we could at this
