Chapter 901:

Tears welled up in Kallie’s eyes. “Jake?” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Is it really you? Or am I dreaming again?”

But Jake didn’t seem happy to see Kallie. His face was expressionless, his eyes cold. Kallie felt flustered—Jake had never seen her like this before.

“Jake,” she said, her voice filled with unease. Tears streamed down her face, her eyes red. “This isn’t a dream, is it?”

Jake’s heart ached at the sight of Kallie’s tear-stained face, her brow furrowed in worry. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white in a bid to keep his inner turmoil in check.

Jake stepped forward. Each step sent a jolt of anticipation through Kallie. Her eyes lit up. Overjoyed, she rushed toward him. But just as she was about to reach for him, Jake looked down, subtly avoiding her touch, and walked past her as if she were a stranger.

Kallie stared in disbelief, frozen in place. She didn’t move until Jake walked past her. She turned her head stiffly and saw Jake standing beside Lacey. Lacey’s face, which had been tense a moment before, relaxed into a smug grin. Lacey twirled around, showing off her dress to Jake.
