MainNovelEstelle’s call cthrough soon after, and Sophia picked up right away. “Estelle?”
“| just spoke to my brother,” Estelle said. “He's fine. He said he was probably just having breakfast and didn’t see your call.”
Sophia was quiet for a moment. “Really?”
Estelle chuckled. “Really! | wouldn't lie to you.”
Sophia hesitated, then said softly, “Alright. Thanks.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs she hung up, a strange chill settled in her chest, pushing out the relief she thought she’d feel. Jason was fine—so he had chosen
not to answer her calls or reply to her messages.
He'd picked up for Estelle, but not for her.
Even if he'd missed her call during breakfast, surely he'd have seen the missed calls afterward. Yet, not once did he call her back.
It felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her, soaking right through to her core.
Why would he do this?
Why was Jason suddenly shutting her out?
She racked her brain for anything that could explain his behavior. There'd been those rumors online accusing her of taking bribes
from clients—he wouldn't believe that, would he?
Maybe he saw that post on the Capital University forum? But the photos were old, taken with Robin years ago. Jason should know
that. Was he really ignoring her over nothing more than sgossip?
Not a word offort, not even a returned call.
Sophia wrapped her arms around herself, a tangle of hurt, anger, and frustration clogging her throat. She bit her lip, eyes stinging
with tears.
They'd only just gotten together, and this was how he treated her?
