Chapter 103: The Gift
Jason leaned back and closed his eyes with a sigh. He really hated this entire situation. He couldn’t deny that he still cared about his sister, but he was also very irritated by the fact that she had abandoned them. Back then, Janet and Jason were the two who took charge of the family, and they made sure they were always there to take care of their mother. Even though they were both hurt by their father leaving them, they found strength in each other and made sure the other person never broke down. In a way, it felt like Janet was the only one that Jason could really depend on.
So when Janet walked out on them, Jason was the one who felt it the hardest. The amount of hatred he felt for Janet back then would have been enough to make him cast her out of his life forever. But that was then, and this is now. Jason had grown since then, and even though he still hated what she’d done, he wasn’t going to deny his mother’s request just because of how he felt.
Jason sighed and stretched his hand over his mother’s shoulder to pull her closer with a small smile.
"Alright, she can come back."
Mira’s face brightened, and she immediately hugged her son happily. She was so proud of him! Even though Mira had been putting on a brave face all this time, Jason could tell that she was hurt by the fact that their family was slowly breaking apart. Now that Janet was trying to come back home, Jason wasn’t going to deny her the chance to see the family together again.
Behind them, Gina cleaned her hands with a towel while watching with a smile. She also knew just how difficult things were in the family and was happy to see that they were slowly starting to get back to how they used to be.
Gina suddenly got a phone call and quickly picked up when she recognized the caller. She listened for a while before a smile spread on her face, and she thanked the person before hanging up! Gina immediately skipped into the living room and hugged Jason from behind while turning to Mira.
"Hey, Mira. It’s here!"
Mira also smiled, stood up, and dusted her hands on her trousers before going to grab her jacket. Jason raised a brow and asked Gina what she was talking about. Gina shook her head and told him it was a surprise. She kissed him on the cheek and grinned.
