Chapter 2408

Jason barely got a wink of sleep last night. After freshening up in the morning, he scoffed at the sight of the snow blanketing the ground outside. "Great, no more morning jogs for me!"

At breakfast, his mom asked, "Why didn't you go for your run today?"

Before he could answer, she chuckled, "With the snow last night, I bet Sophia couldn't drag herself out of bed this morning!"

Jason just hummed noncommittally, feeling a dull ache in his heart.

After breakfast, as he went upstairs, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID made him frown.

"Mrs. Jasmine?"

Jasmine spoke up, "Jason, Sophia took off back to Jefferson City early this morning. Did you know?"

Jason's pupils constricted, and it took him a moment to reply, "Really?"

"Did you two have a fight?" Jasmine probed. "She was up packing before dawn, and she didn't look too happy when she left."

Jason looked down, his voice hoarse, "Mrs. Jasmine, I'm sorry!"

Jasmine chuckled, "I'm not here to interrogate you. No need to apologize. You've been there for Sophia since she was little. Her dad's always been caught up with work, and I was too, back in the day. You were the one who stood by her as she grew up. I'm well aware." Jason's voice was tinged with sorrow, "I might not be able to be there for her anymore."
