Chapter 293

Estrella cast a sidelong glance at him over her shoulder. Jason just nestled his face close to hers and closed his eyes again.

Estrella didn’t push him away. She let him embrace her in silence until she felt his weight almost slump onto her shoulder in slumber. She whispered softly, “If you’re tired, go take a shower and hit the hay.”

“Mhm,” Jason murmured with his eyes still closed, then after holding her for a moment longer and planting a kiss on her cheek, he grabbed his clothes and headed to the bathroom.

Their recent time together really did have the genuine feel of a young couple managing the daily dance of family life.

With Jason in the shower, Estrella went to check on Isaac, who was spread-eagled and sleeping soundly. She gently stroked his forehead, her face beaming with contentment.

After watching Isaac for a moment, Estrella remembered she hadn’t yet listened to the tape from her therapist Dr. Abigail. With that, she returned to the master bedroom.

She ran a hand through her hair in frustration. Why did she have to remember that? Now she had no secrets left.

She had never confessed her feelings to anyone, not even to Bryce or Jesse. Yet here she was, years later, with her emotions excavated by someone else.
