Last time, Otome hosted the sleepover. Jax came to the door to find out who was knocking. To his surprise, it was his father. Hey Jax, you can't just slam the door in your dad's face. Zia replied. I'm going back to my room. Jax replied. Keanu, he's never acted like this. Zia replied. Your mom told me you collapsed at work. You know you should take more care of yourself. If you don't, no one will. Keanu replied.
Jax shut his door.
Jax called his mom.
Jax: Mom, why did you call my dad?
Carlyle: I never told him. I think the doctor who checked on you knows your father.

Jax: He's here.
Carlyle: He's your father. You need to get along with him.

Jax rolls his eyes.
Jax: Mom, I can't do it.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAEg2cofIsxK
Carlyle: Your father may have hurt me. He's still your father.
Jax: Mom, are you almost off?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAZQNVm7JHYs
Carlyle: Yes, I'm on the way home.
Jax: Oh did you get what I asked for?
Carlyle: Yes and I know you left the house a few days ago.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAYmT16HLzyX
Jax: What?
Carlyle: I saw a big box of those Lucie Brownies.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAsUV4Q9h4ud
Jax: I helped Otome with her chemistry homework. Time slipped, and I had to take her home.
Carlyle: That's what happened?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAOb2G1UDT2L
Jax: Yes.
Carlyle: Jax, you're such a genuinely kind person who is selfless. Much as you hate me for saying this.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA3wJi5pg3OW
Jax: What are you about to say?
Carlyle: Jax, you display many of how your father's qualities.
293Please respect copyright.PENANA7ziQ8NeKqT
Jax: My dad is an abusive drunk who displayed his violence in front of me.
Carlyle: He wasn't always like that. After he lost your grandfather, he went to alcohol.
293Please respect copyright.PENANARmpGsMPfAL
Carlyle: If I know your honest father. He came to talk to you. I'm home.
Carlyle opened the door.

Keanu, did you come to check on Jax? Carlyle asked. Carly? Keanu asked. Jax takes my stubborn and workaholic qualities. He also takes your kind and selfless nature. Carlyle replied. At least he took something good from me. Keanu replied. Don't be so hard on yourself. Carlyle replied. Jax rushed into the kitchen. Thank you, mom. Jax replied. What is up with your love for Italian food? Zia asked. I'm Italian. When he was younger, he would always eat his great-grandmother's food. He loved her paella. Keanu replied. I don't think he remembers. He was three. Carlyle replied. Jax went to the table. He pulled his phone out of his pocket. You know I didn't buy that food. Your father bought it. I picked it up. Carlyle replied. Jax stopped. Thank you. Jax replied. You're welcome. Keanu replied. At Otome's. Otome felt something was off. She sneaks off and calls Jax.
Otome: Are you ok, Jax?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAjR0UpOvpjz
Jax: I'm fine, Otome. You don't have to worry.
Otome: That's not what you really feeling?
293Please respect copyright.PENANAStrWsnHf37
Jax looked stopped eating.
Otome: Telling from your silence. I take that as a yes.
293Please respect copyright.PENANAHdBNfvidFx
Jax: Why did you call me?
Otome: Easy. It might seem weird saying it. When I meet new people, I can read their heart.
293Please respect copyright.PENANARJDcRuwEwu
Jax: What?
Otome: When I first met you, I felt a hatred in your heart. It compelled me to want to understand.
293Please respect copyright.PENANALeby4Px5U0
Jax: What do you want from me?
Otome: I want to let you know. Whoever your hatred is toward. They are trying to start over. Are you willing?
293Please respect copyright.PENANA9g559bwsrK
As Otome said that to Jax, I could tell his mood changed.
I smiled.
