The Bound Between Us

Chapter 841

Isla trusted Jason completely. She liked him a lot—maybe even more than she realized and she'd been hoping for ages that Jason would become her new dad.

She answered honestly, "Mom changed jobs. She works at a beauty salon now." That surprised Jason.

He asked, "Has anyone you don't know come to the house recently?"

“No,” Isla replied. "Papa Jason, Mom already paid back all the money. Please don't be mad at her, okay?"

From Isla's perspective, Jason and her mom, Alisa, argued only because of the debt.

Jason pressed, "Where'd your mom get all that money?"

"I don't know," Isla said after thinking for a moment. "She didn't say."

Jason tried to coax her. "Isla, think really hard. Has your mom said anything strange lately? Or has anything weird happened, or have you seen anyone odd around?" He smiled, "If you can remember something, I'll grant you one wish. Whatever you want, just ask."

"Really?" Isla's eyes sparkled. She thought for a second, then said, "Oh! Mom's been making phone calls behind my back, always to some man. That's all I know."

Jason frowned. Was Alisa seeing someone to pay back her debt?
