Chapter 132

“I’m gonna pop by the boss’ office and let him know I’m heading out early.” If it wasn’t for Kristin’s call, Estrella would’ve totally spaced on the whole thing.

On the other end, Kristin said, “Jason’s gonna pick you up later. You guys can head back together.”

“Cool,” Estrella chuckled. “If I bump into him, we’ll ride back together.”

After hanging up, Estrella quickly said her goodbyes to Logan and left.

The car had barely started when Jason’s call came through, “I’m downstairs.”

On her end, Estrella replied, “I’m almost at the old house.”

With a click, he hung up, knowing all too well she had done it on purpose.

In her Audi, Estrella nonchalantly tossed her phone on the dashboard after the call dropped.

“Estrella, you made it!”

“Hey, Estrella.”

“Estrella!”

As soon as she stepped into the yard, Kristin greeted her with a beaming smile, and the older folks of the Nelson clan warmly called out her name.

Smiling and exchanging pleasantries, Estrella walked in to find Thomas, Grayson and her parents had already arrived. After mingling a bit, she found a spot in the yard to sit and browse her phone.
