章 200: He wants to visit

-----

After Jeffrey ended the call with Victor, he couldn't shake off the irritation from their conversation. His frustration, initially expected to subside upon reaching out to his family, only deepened upon realizing that Jeffrey had intercepted his call to Rina.

Moments later, a text message appeared on his screen, bearing Rina's number.

'Don't bother calling or texting Rina anymore as she's just as busy as you are. If you genuinely want to speak to your daughter, have the courage to come see her in person,'

The text message, clearly from Jeffrey, only fueled Victor's irritation further.

A minutes after, his phone rang again, diverting his attention once more. Assuming it was Rina this time, Victor's lips curved into a hopeful smile.

However, his anticipation quickly turned to disappointment as he realized it was his mom calling—not Rina.
