“It’s getting late. I’ll be leaving now.” Joaquin trotted toward the corner.
Selena looked at the corner and whispered, “Take care.” Then she took Juniper and boarded the flight.
Juniper looked up at her. “Mommy, you hugged Joaquin for a long time. I think I saw him whispering something.”
Selena pursed her lips in a smile and went down to straighten out Juniper’s clothes. I think Juniper shouldn’t know about this. If it turns out to be a mistake, she’d be devastated. “Jojo told me he likes you very much, and he’ll miss us.”
“Really?” Juniper was overjoyed. Jameson was usually the one who’d say that, and Juniper knew Joaquin wouldn’t.
“Yes. He’s just too shy to say it.”
“Yeah! I like Jojo too, and…” Juniper looked crestfallen, and she whispered almost inaudibly, “Jameson.”
Selena looked back one last time and thought, Take care.
The business class cabin was silent. The moment the plane took flight, Juniper fell asleep. Sitting beside, Selena tucked her in and looked ahead.
I must find Jameson. She trusted what Joaquin said. If he said Jameson was alive, then Jameson had to be alive. I will find out about the truth and prove my innocence! I must find Jameson!
“Goddammit!” A furious roar shook the Fowler Residence, and everyone kept their silence.
