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

Chapter 38

Estrella bolted upright in her bed and slapped the bedside lamp switch with a swift

motion.

It was Jason sitting on the couch. Estrella sighed with relief at first, but then her brows knitted in annoyance. “It’s late at night. Why are you staring at me here instead of sleeping? And didn’t you bring Serene home? Just leaving her hanging like that? Is this your idea of getting things done, Jason?”

Yawning and with a hint of disdain, she grumbled, “Get back over there, will you? Don’t SO stand around here like some kind of guardian statue.”

It was really late now. If he was not going to sleep, at least he should let others sleep. Having said her piece, Estrella was about to lie back down when Jason’s icy tone stopped her cold. “Go ahead and sleep if you dare, Estrella.”

Her back, which had just started to curve back down onto the mattress, straightened again as she looked up at Jason. “What on earth are you up to now, Jason? Can’t a girl -get some sleep around here?”

Jason bit back, “You think you can sleep?”

Serene was here, but Estrelle still had the mood to sleep. Seriously?

“I can sleep just fine!” Estrella retorted as she peered at Jason with half-closed eyes. “Can’t you?”

She prodded further, “Haven’t sweet-talked her yet?”

“Jason, no offense, but you really need to work on that temper of yours. Money and power don’t give you the right to expect everything to revolve around you. Everyone has their limits. If you don’t head back to Serene now, by sunrise you’ll be out of luck. Women are easy to appease. If sweet nothings don’t do the trick, just go for angry sex. It will work.”

With another yawn, she lazily advised, “I’ve given you a tip. Now go and mull it over.”

As Estrella reached to turn off the light, Jason’s arm shot out, grabbing her wrist. She looked up at him and he stepped closer, bending down to her level. “Estrella, are you teaching me how to woo you?”

She couldn’t help but chuckle. “Jason, that’s a bit funny, isn’t it? I’m usually the one who has to woo you. Enough with the chit-chat. If you don’t go back soon, the sun will rise. If Serene really gets angry, there will be nothing you can do. Not all women are as forgiving as I am.” All Estrella wanted now was to sleep and for Jason to take a hike.

“So you’re eager for me to make things right with her?”
