Summer just kept smiling, her tone sweet, calm—too calm. She nodded slowly as Camilla spoke, not giving anything away. “That’s how Jason is,” she said, her voice soft but steady. “He’s the kind of person who would move mountains for someone, even if they don’t ask. He always pays attention to the little things. You’re lucky.”

Camilla let out a dry laugh, folding her arms as she studied Summer’s face carefully. She didn’t like that response. It sounded too perfect, too rehearsed. There was no twitch of envy, no shift in her expression—just a practiced smile.

That silence felt loud.

“So,” Camilla started, tilting her head, “you’re not surprised Jason booked out Pasumi Kazoo?”

Summer blinked, her brows lifted a bit. “I mean, it’s Jason. He does impossible things and makes it look simple.”

Camilla’s lips pressed into a thin line. She looked away for a moment, then back at her. “That’s exactly what worries me,” she muttered under her breath.

Summer tilted her head. “What?”

    when Summer heard what Camilla just said, there was a sharp stillness on her end of the call. Her hand clenched unconsciously at her side, and for a few seconds, she said nothing. Her heart thumped like a drum against her chest, but her voice—when it came—was calm, even a little cheerful.“Oh… wow,” Summer said, forcing out a laugh. “That’s… that’s great, Camilla. I mean, truly. I’m happy for both of you.”Camilla didn’t catch the falter in her tone. Summer had trained herself well to hide things like this.“Thanks, Summer. I knew you’d understand,” Camilla said warmly. “That’s why I called you. Because I know how close you and Jason are.”Summer’s throat tightened. She bit her lower lip so hard she nearly broke the skin. “Yeah,” she replied quietly. “Anything you both want to do, I’m fully in support of it. Anything at all.”But even as she spoke, her chest was burning.She was trying to be strong—trying to say the right things—but her thoughts were racing in all the wrong directions

    Summer sat on her bed, restless. Her fingers tapped nervously on the edge of her phone until she finally gave in and dialed Jason’s number. It didn’t even ring twice before he picked up.“Hello?” Jason’s voice came through, slightly muffled, like he was moving around.“Jason,” Summer said quickly, not wasting time. “There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important.”Jason paused. “Alright,” he replied. “But I’m with the guys right now. We’re about to head to the gym. You know that fight competition is in a few weeks, and I need to stay sharp. I was planning to do some sparring—flex the muscles a bit. I promise we can talk after, okay?”Summer’s heart dropped. Her brows pinched in disbelief. She sat up straight, her tone sharp and cut through the line.“Jason,” she said coldly, “don’t even think about doing that. I’m serious.”Jason froze on the other end, confused. “What? It’s just training, Summer. I’ve done it before—”“No,” she snapped. “Don’t try it. Don’t be stupid.”

  • CHAPTER 230

    Camilla sat beside her grandfather in the garden behind the estate. The quiet hum of the fountain nearby was the only sound between them. Her grandfather’s face had that thoughtful crease again—one she’d come to recognize when something serious was weighing on him.“So,” he said slowly, his eyes still fixed on the koi fish swimming in circles, “this Jason... The person who introduced him to you... was it a guy or a lady?”Camilla didn’t look up right away. She picked at the edge of her sleeve, trying to act normal, though her chest was already tightening with anticipation. “A lady,” she replied.Her grandfather finally turned to face her, his tone unreadable. “A lady?”There was a long pause.Bit by bit, something began to settle in the old man’s heart. Something he couldn’t quite place. His fingers tapped his cane lightly. The first bit—doubt.He wasn’t sure he liked this. Not because Jason wasn’t remarkable. No, that was clear. The young man had done more than enough to prove himsel

    The moment Summer mumbled under her breath that she’d be going with Jason and Camilla to the restaurant after all, her sister’s ears perked up like a dog who just heard the word “walk.”“What did you say?!” she gasped, eyes wide in disbelief.“I said I’ll be going with them, alright?” Summer muttered, not looking at her.She barely had time to finish her sentence before her sister leapt at her like a rocket, throwing both arms around her with pure joy.“You’re going with them?! You're going?! Oh my God, Summer!” she screamed.“Get off me,” Summer groaned, struggling in her grip.“Nooope! You’re not going anywhere,” her sister said through happy laughter, tightening her hug like a boa constrictor. “You’re finally coming to your senses!”Summer tried to push her off with a grunt, but her sister held her too tightly. Eventually, Summer gave up and let her hold her, rolling her eyes as she sighed.“Fine. Do what you want,” Summer mumbled, but deep down… a little smile tugged at her lips.

    At that moment Summer’s jaw clenched tightly as she stepped closer to her sister, her hands balled into fists. “You better not say anything stupid to Jason,” she muttered, her voice low but brimming with warning.Her sister, however, leaned against the doorframe with that same smug smile dancing on her lips, arms folded like a victor at war. “Too late,” she said, tilting her head mockingly. “I heard everything. Every word. ‘Why can’t he just see I have feelings for him?’” She even mimicked the tone, fluttering her eyelashes with exaggerated sweetness. “Poor Jason… so clueless.”Summer’s eyes widened in embarrassment, heat rising up her neck. “You were spying on me?”“I wasn’t spying,” her sister replied, laughing. “You were screaming loud enough for the whole street to hear. Should I play it back?” She tapped her phone playfully.Summer stepped forward, her tone low and sharp. “Delete that or I swear—”“Oh, please,” her sister snapped. “You're always acting like you're in control, but

    Summer's voice trembled with rage as she turned sharply toward the door. Her eyes flared as they met her sister's smug expression.“What are you doing there?” Summer snapped, her hands balling into fists at her sides. “Were you standing there the whole time?”Her sister leaned against the doorframe casually, arms folded, a knowing grin spreading across her lips. “I knew it,” she said, her tone light but laced with mockery. “You like him. You actually like Jason.”Summer’s stomach clenched. Her heart pounded against her ribs, not from fear, but from embarrassment and fury. She stepped forward, her face tight with anger. “What are you even talking about?” she hissed. “You were eavesdropping? On me?”“I don’t need to eavesdrop,” her sister said with a roll of her eyes. “You were basically screaming. Crying over a guy who took someone else to Pasu Mikazu. That doesn’t sound like a girl who doesn’t care.”Summer’s breath caught in her throat. Her cheeks flushed. She didn’t like this feelin

    Jason stepped away from the soft music and laughter echoing inside Paso Mikazu, standing beside a quiet corner where the call with Summer could come through clearly. Her voice came through low but sharp, laced with something he couldn’t quite place at first—until her tone began to twist."So you’re really there... with Camilla?" Summer asked. Her voice was calm, too calm, but Jason caught the edge in it. It wasn’t the usual Summer. It sounded like... restraint. Jealousy?Jason’s brows furrowed. “Yeah... today’s her birthday. I wanted it to be special for her,” he said honestly. “Why are you sounding like that?”“Like what?” she said, a little too quickly.“Summer, why are you reacting this way? Why do you sound so... off?” he asked, rubbing his temple with his free hand. “Is it because of Paso Mikazu?”Silence.Jason exhaled softly, trying not to overthink it. “Look... the truth is, that’s why I called you earlier. I wanted to tell you that anytime you’re free, just say it, and we’ll
