Jensen Sterling had just set things down when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He paused what he was doing, pulled it out, and saw a WeChat message from someone marked as Mom.
Jensen casually opened it and saw a line of text: "Jensen, it's inconvenient for Mom to stay with you, so I'll be going back to the old house."
"You and Mia should get along well."
Following that was a voice message.
Jensen's finger tapped the screen to play it, and a woman's voice came through.
"Oh right, Jensen, there's a jewelry box on the bedside table in my room. I bought it for Mia during a trip some time ago. I meant to give it to her but forgot. Remember to give it to Mia for me."
After listening to the voice message, Jensen held his phone for a while, his eyes deepening. He responded with "Got it," then slowly exited the chat page, turned off his phone, and put it back in his pocket.
