Chapter 180

On the plane, Bryce was tucking Estrella in with a thin blanket when she stirred and woke up. Seeing Bryce steadfast by her side, Estrella, with half-closed eyes, muttered, “Why didn’t you catch some Z’s?”

The passengers began to gather their belongings, and Bryce stuffed the remaining snacks into a bag and helped Estrella into her jacket.

Bryce, grinning like an idiot, joined in, “Ain’t that the truth. Estrella and I are twins, born from the same womb.”

After Bryce’s comment, some of Estrella’s colleagues actually believed him, expressing their surprise, “Estrella, you’re twins? But looking at you two, you do look alike. You’ve got some strong genes in your family.”

“Of course, there are no ugly ducks in our family,” Bryce boasted proudly.
