Jonathan love towards amber devis

Davis Mansion

The atmosphere inside the Davis mansion was unbearably tense.

Grandfather stood in the middle of the living room like a judge about to deliver the final verdict.

Grandfather:

"Call Amber."

"Right now, Steve." 😐

Grandmother immediately turned toward Jonathan.

Grandmother:

"Tell your father to stop before he pushes me too far." 😠

Stephen stood between them, looking completely defeated.

Stephen:

"...Why am I always the messenger in this family?" 😓

Joseph leaned back on the sofa.

Naturally...

He made everything worse.

Joseph:

"Just call her already."

"Standing there won't solve anything." 😑

Stephen reluctantly picked up his phone.

His palms were sweating.

His fingers trembled.

Then—

Beep.

He accidentally pressed Call.

Joseph's eyes widened.

Joseph:

"Stephen!"

"Hang up!" 😨

Too late.

The phone was already ringing.

The entire room fell silent.

Even the ticking clock suddenly sounded louder.

Click.

The call connected.

Amber (on phone):

"Hello."

"Amber William Davis speaking." 😐

Everyone in the room froze.

Stephen nearly dropped his phone.

Joseph looked like he wanted to disappear.

Jonathan stopped breathing for a second.

Meanwhile – Justin's Room

Justin sat quietly on the edge of his bed.

His expression was unusually calm.

Too calm.

Lauren noticed.

Lauren:

"...Justin?"

He slowly looked at her.

Justin:

"Aunt Lauren..."

"Can I ask you something?" 😔

Lauren nodded.

Lauren:

"Go ahead."

Justin lowered his eyes.

His voice became almost a whisper.

Justin:

"...Why did my mother leave me?"

Lauren froze.

Her mind went completely blank.

Justin had never asked that question before.

Not once.

But this wasn't the fifteen-year-old Justin she knew.

This was someone carrying memories of another lifetime.

Unfortunately...

The timing couldn't have been worse.

Back in the Living Room

Stephen silently held the phone toward Joseph.

Stephen (whispering):

"You talk."

Joseph immediately pushed it back.

Joseph (whispering):

"No."

"You started this."

Amber's voice came through the speaker again.

Amber:

"May I know who's calling?" 😕

Stephen panicked.

Without thinking...

He handed the phone to Jonathan.

Jonathan stared at it.

Like it weighed a hundred kilograms.

Several long seconds passed.

Amber:

"...Hello?"

Jonathan finally found his voice.

Barely.

Jonathan:

"...Amber."

Silence.

No one moved.

No one spoke.

Even the room felt frozen.

Then...

A soft voice answered.

Amber:

"...Jonathan?"

Another silence.

Long.

Heavy.

Painful.

The family quietly looked at Jonathan.

They assumed he didn't want to continue.

The truth was...

He couldn't.

After ten years...

He was hearing her voice again.

---

Earlier – Amber's House

Lucy sat at the dining table with her books spread everywhere.

She sighed dramatically.

Lucy:

"Aunt..."

"I really don't want to transfer to that school."

Natalie smiled.

Natalie:

"Then which school do you want?"

Before Lucy could answer...

Amber's phone rang.

She glanced at the screen and answered.

Amber:

"Hello."

"Amber William Davis speaking."

No response.

She frowned slightly.

Amber:

"Hello?"

Then—

A familiar voice whispered.

"...Amber."

Amber froze.

Her heartbeat stopped for a moment.

That voice...

She would recognize it anywhere.

Amber (softly):

"...Jonathan?"

Silence.

Memories neither of them wanted to revisit filled the space between them.

---

Back to the Call

Stephen finally gathered enough courage.

Stephen:

"...Sis Amber..."

Amber immediately replied.

Amber:

"Yes, Joseph?"

Joseph closed his eyes.

Joseph:

"I'm Joseph."

"He's Stephen."

"How do you still confuse us after all these years?" 😑

Amber sounded completely unbothered.

Amber:

"You've always sounded the same to me."

Joseph gave up.

Amber:

"So..."

"What happened?"

Stephen quickly answered.

Stephen:

"It's about Justin—"

Amber interrupted immediately.

Her voice became sharp.

Amber:

"What happened to Justin?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Grandfather calmly stepped forward.

Grandfather:

"Come home."

"Something isn't right with him."

There was a brief silence.

Then...

Amber:

"...Alright, Uncle."

She paused.

Then quietly said—

Amber:

"...Jonathan."

Jonathan tightened his grip on the phone.

He couldn't answer.

Amber:

"...Goodbye."

The call ended.

---

After the Call

Silence filled the living room.

Jonathan lowered his head.

A single tear fell.

Then another.

Everyone looked at him.

Not because he cried.

They all knew he had been carrying this pain for years.

But this...

Was the first time he had broken down in front of them.

Just hearing her voice again...

Destroyed every wall he had built around his heart.

---

Justin's Room

Justin looked toward Lauren again.

A small smile appeared on his face.

Justin:

"So..."

"Will you tell me?" 🙂

Inside his mind—

"Dad is respected..."

"He's kind..."

"He's successful..."

"Then why did Mom leave?"

"Something doesn't make sense..."

Lauren immediately stood up.

Lauren:

"...Megan?"

"You explain."

Megan blinked.

Megan:

"Why me?"

After thinking for a moment...

She smiled gently.

Megan:

"...Justin."

"I think..."

"Your father should be the one to answer that."

Justin slowly stood.

His expression became determined.

Justin:

"...Alright."

"I'll ask him myself."

He calmly walked toward the door.

The moment it closed—

Lauren looked at Megan in disbelief.

Lauren:

"You actually sent him to Jonathan?" 😨

Megan sighed.

Megan:

"No matter what we say..."

"Jonathan would never let us tell Justin."

"If anyone deserves to hear the truth..."

"It should come from his father."

---

Elsewhere in the mansion...

Jonathan was quietly wiping away his tears.

At the same time...

Justin was walking toward him.

One carried ten years of regret.

The other carried memories of a lifetime.

Neither of them knew...

That this conversation...

Would change everything.
