'Even her neck is reddening from the sheer embarrassment,' Jash noted and cast an angry glance at his mother.
'Just how do you even get the time to watch those trashy dramas!' he thought in anger, cursing the very dramas he too enjoyed.
Of course, he still maintained public decency and kept his mouth shut, unaware of the cause of the sudden pull.
