Chapter 135

Estrella bolted upright in bed, flicking on the light to find Jason, who had somehow snuck in beside her. Her irritation flared instantly, and she grabbed the pillow next to her, unleashing a barrage of whacks. “Jason, are you out of your mind? It’s the middle of the night. Could you be any louder? And why aren’t you sleeping? Why are you staring at me like some creep?”

It wasn’t the thunder that had jolted her awake in the night. It was Jason’s piercing gaze that had set her heart racing. If her heart hadn’t been so sturdy, that shock might have

done her in.

Jason, bewildered by the pillow assault, protested, “What noise did I make? And why can’t I watch you?”

He was simply curious about her. The thunder had woken him up, and he admired Estrella’s ability to sleep through the storm. She hadn’t stirred in the slightest.

Estrella’s heartbeat hadn’t calmed down yet, so she kicked him twice in frustration, venting her scare. “Are you trying to annoy me? Weren’t you supposed to be gone? Who asked you to come back?” He definitely wasn’t in the room when she had taken a shower earlier. Jason, unfazed, tossed her foot aside. “Who told you I left?”

Estrella glared at him and kicked him again before getting up to pour herself some water.

Jason felt her explosive temper with a slight smile playing on his lips. This was the Estrella he remembered from before.

Another thunderclap boomed outside, and Jason glanced out the window, but Estrella remained unfazed as though she was in a different world.

After finishing her water and lying back down, Jason kept his eyes on her, causing her skin to prickle. “Are you going to sleep, or are you just going to keep staring at me?” she asked.

“It’s thundering outside,” Jason remarked.

Estrella pulled the blankets tightly around her. “Are you scared?”

Jason saw her cocoon herself with the sheets, chuckled, and teased her, “Estrella, what are you even afraid of?”
