30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 22

Jason’s question was a light bulb moment for Estrella. She realized he knew Korey was back in town and had given her a ride, and now he was looking for an excuse to pick a fight.

Without looking for excuses or feeling guilty, Estrella responded with casual confidence, “Yeah, Korey was back in town and offered me a lift.”

At the mention of Korey, Jason bristled with indignation. “Korey? Estrella, you’re awfully cozy with him.”

He continued his interrogation with a scoff, “Where’s he living, huh? Just so happens to be on your way?” If she had come home any later, Jason would have turned Ravenwood upside down.

Despite Jason’s attitude, Estrella remained composed. “I was waiting for the cab, and he happened to be going my way.”

Jason retorted with a sneer, “What about Thomas, Grayson and the others? Jesse didn’t have time for you? You could ride with anyone else, but you insisted on having him drive you. Didn’t I tell you my driver could have picked you up?”

Estrella was fed up with his relentless questioning. Ultimately, it was Jason who was unreasonable first tonight.

She removed her hair clip with a snap and tossed it onto the dresser, fixing Jason with a defiant gaze. “One phone call from another woman, and you drop everything to rush over, showing concern and accompanying her to the hospital. Now where do you get the nerve to shout at me like this? How can you interrogate me? If you hadn’t done that, would I have needed a ride from Korey?”

“Jason, just because I don’t fuss over every little thing, do you think I’m a pushover? Let me tell you something, if I ever run off with another man, it’ll be because you pushed me into his arms.”

These words had been bottled up inside Estrella for a long time. Estrella always felt that their relationship was like this. There was no need to say too much. As long as she got pregnant, it would be enough.

But Jason was pushing her too far, and he was being too much of a jerk.
