Chapter 265

Half an hour later, when the villagers of Glimmering Lake took the minibus back, Estrella could finally consider her work temporarily done. She watched the bus disappear into the distance, feeling the weight in her heart lift with it. Justice had been served for the people of Glimmering Lake, and the threat of fluoride contamination was now a thing of the past. “Estrella,” Grayson’s voice called from behind, snapping her out of her reverie.

with a smile and walked over to him.

“You did great, Estrella,” Grayson complimented her.

With a playful grin, she teased, “Ah, what an honor to be praised by you, Grayson.”

Grayson’s laughter brightened, and he reached out to ruffle her hair affectionately.

Jason had been taking care of Isaac while Estrella was swamped with work. Isaac hadn’t retreated into himself due to Estrella’s absence, and for that, Estrella was profoundly grateful.

Unfazed by Estrella’s playful jab, Jason just nuzzled into her neck and murmured, “Let me hold you.”

Estrella gently chided, tugging at his shirt, “Grayson is still here, you know.”

But Jason didn’t care. And he kissed her cheek!
