Chapter 2505

Unable to resist, Sophia sent Jason a message: *When are you coming home?*

She got out of bed, drew back the curtains, and let the bright spring sunlight flood the room. Stretching with a yawn, she checked her phone again—still no reply from Jason. Sighing, she went to freshen up.

Even after breakfast, as she drove to the office, Jason still hadn't messaged back. Maybe he's having dinner, she thought, trying to rationalize his silence.

All day long, Sophia found herself compulsively checking her phone, hoping for a new notification. Each time she saw nothing under his name, disappointment welled up inside her.

The feeling lingered, heavy and unshakable, through the entire day.

She wanted to call Jason-afraid something urgent had come up, leaving him too overwhelmed to text back. But what if he was asleep on his side of the world? She didn't want to wake him.

After work, she couldn't even bring herself to eat dinner. Desperate, she tried video calling him, only to have the call declined.

Just like yesterday, all she got from Jason was a single message: *I'll get back to you in a bit.*

Sophia replied at once: *I'm fine here. Did something happen over there?*

But he didn't answer.

She slumped onto the sofa, the phone slipping from her fingers. Snacks sat untouched on the table. Even her favorite TV series couldn't hold her attention.
