Chapter 35 

After hearing it, Estrella’s face immediately soured at the mention of a breakup. “Breakup? For heaven’s sake, I haven’t been out with another guy, so who’s he breaking up with?” 

Thomas offered a theory, “Maybe his heartache’s not about you” 

Estrella paused, thinking back to how Jason had been coming home every single night, regardless of the hour. It seemed he had taken a hit to the ego; someone had given him the cold shoulder. No wonder he had been moping around with a face like thunder. 

With arms crossed tightly over her chest, Estrella glanced down at Jason and, in a swift motion, kicked him. 

“Estrella, cut it out!” Thomas intervened hastily “Don’t go breaking Jason. I’ll be the one blamed for it, accused of being the kicker.” 

Then he added, “Ella, give me a hand, will ya? I can’t lift him by myself.” 

Estrella scoffed, “Lift him yourself. It’s a miracle I haven’t chucked him out already, considering his darling isn’t even me.” 

As Estrella finished speaking, Jason tried to heave himself up from the couch but promptly plopped back down. Themas let out a sigh. “He’s been feeling down for days. My friend said it’s classic heartbreak blues, and I reckon he’s hit the nail on the head.” 

Estrella snorted derisively. Heartbreak? Jason was really moving up in the world. Whether it was Serene or some old flame he couldn’t shake, Estrella didn’t care to ponder anymore. It definitely wasn’t her. 

“Where’s Serene? Have they been together these past few days?” Estrella inquired. 

“Haven’t seen her. They probably had a spat, which is why Jason’s been down in the dumps. Who knows when he’ll snap out of it. I’ve never seen him like this,” Thomas explained. 

Listening to Thomas, Estrella withdrew her gaze coldly and pulled out her phone to call Serene. “Serene, get yourself over to Sandalwood Oasis.” Without waiting for a reply, Estrella hung up. 

Thomas was puzzled. “Ella, why are you dragging Serene over here?” He had brought Jason back to Sandalwood Oasis to create an opportunity for the two of them, but she seemed oblivious to it.
