The Return Of Miss Ava_6

James and Ashton felt a deep sense of disappointment as they realized Jeffrey hadn't returned their call.

They had anxiously waited all through the night and into the following day, hoping for a response.

While they were having breakfast, Ashton turned to James and asked if Jeffrey had gotten in touch.

James, looking completely exhausted and devoid of appetite, simply gave Ashton a fleeting glance and continued to eat in silence.

He seemed to be in a dazed state, consumed by thoughts of how to get to Ava's house.

Sensing the tension at the breakfast table, Akira, their younger sister, tried to lighten the mood by engaging her two silent brothers in conversation.

"James, did Jeffrey mention to you that Claire Lee has resolved the issue with the new game we're working on?" she asked, absentmindedly playing with her food.

She hoped her words would distract James from Ava's return, but he seemed unfazed, nodding without speaking.
