Chapter 34

If she didn’t try her best to please him, he would accuse her of being sarcastic. When she shamelessly flirted with him, he would call her brazen and disgraceful.

In the end, he simply couldn’t stand her. No matter what she did, it was wrong in his so she decided to stay silent. She would agree to whatever he claimed.

eyes,

Estrella’s declaration only made Jason feel more uneasy. He would have rather had a heated argument with her than this stifling silence..

Looking at Estrella, he said, “Estrella, why don’t I believe you when you say Korey has no ulterior motives?”

Estrella couldn’t help but laugh. The guy hadn’t been back in two years. With her arms crossed over her chest, Estrella gave Jason a playful look and teased, “Jason, shouldn’t I be asking you the same question? With your resources, couldn’t you find Serene a job anywhere? Why on earth did you have to place her in the secretarial office at Nelson International? You assume everyone is up to the same tricks as you?”

Jason was speechless. His gaze softened slightly as he asked, “You’re still bothered by her?”

Estrella chuckled, “Who am I to take offense? Id consider myself lucky if you stopped giving me grief.”

Estrella never argued with him about external matters. Her policy was to focus on the major issues and let the minor ones slide. As long as Jason was willing to have children with her, that was enough for her. But now, she wasn’t in the mood to have children, which made Jason somewhat redundant.

Ignoring Estrella’s indifference, Jason coldly stated, “Estrella, you truly don’t deserve the title of Mrs. Nelson.”

Playing along, Estrella feigned a sigh, “Two years of marriage and not a baby to show for it, I really don’t deserve it, do I?”

Jason’s expression darkened. He felt like she was insinuating something. Abruptly getting out of bed, he tightened the sash of his robe and retorted, “I’m not going to waste time arguing with you.” After saying that, he stormed out of the room.

Estrella glanced towards the door, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, and then pulled out a chair at the desk and sat down to work.

Shortly after, her phone on the table rang. It was a call from Kristin. Estrella answered the call.

“Estrella, are you home yet? Jason should be there, right?” Kristin’s voice came through quickly from the other end.
