Serene's sobs were soft and sorrowful. Jason remained stoic, his voice calm as he said, "I'll send Drew over to help you out." With that, he ended the call and promptly dialed Drew, instructing him to make a trip over.
Meanwhile, Estrella's breathing had settled into a quieter rhythm. Estrella had thought for sure that Jason would leave her side that evening.
After hanging up, Jason glanced over at Estrella with an expression that didn't betray his thoughts, "If you're up, you can get out of the car yourself. I'm not carrying you."
Estrella, however, didn't open her eyes.
Seeing this, Jason unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, and walked toward the house without looking back.
Realizing Jason was serious about leaving her in the car, Estrella swiftly unbuckled herself and hurried out after him. She caught up and looped her arms through Jason's. He glanced down at her with a frosty look, but Estrella maintained her usual cheery demeanor—an utter contrast to Serene's tearful episode.
Their eyes met, and Jason quickened his pace. Estrella kept up, her voice light, "Jason, let's have a baby."
Jason's answer was brief and to the point, "No." Despite his words, he didn't remove her hands from his arm.
Soon, they entered the house together, and Marie, seeing them return side by side, smiled more brilliantly than the garden flowers, bustling off to have the kitchen prepare dinner.
Estrella seemed in unusually high spirits that day, spending more time watching Jason and talking to him than usual.
