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

Chapter 40

Autumn frowned, pondering what nonsense the kid was spouting this time.

Jason was shamelessly grinning, and quipped) “Full service tonight. Let’s settle it all in one go.”

Estrella chuckled dismissively, “Sure, if you think you can handle it.”

Their shameless banter left Kristin and Autumn exchanging embarrassed glances, feeling awkward beyond words. Estrella and Jason had turned their cheeks crimson with their talk, yet those two acted as if it was nothing at all.

Autumn gave Estrella another poke in the waist. “Estrella, did I raise you to talk like this?”

Estrella furrowed her brows, turning to Autumn. “Mom, if you keep poking my sides, I’ll never be able to have kids.”

“God forbid!” Autumn spat out the words thrice, dismissing the jinx.

Kristín, caught between amusement and dismay, quickly tried to smooth things over, “Look, since the kids have agreed to make a go of it, let’s leave them to it and head back.”

Autumn nodded in agreement with Kristin, and the two women made their exit.

Once they had gone, Estrella gathered herself and headed straight for the Dorvold Group headquarters.

Estrella, with her legs crossed, probed, “Mom mentioned you were troubled by some company issue involving the Lamont family.”

Cole sighed, “You don’t need to worry about the company. You and Jason just focus on building a good life and having a baby.”

“I’ll live well and the baby will come, but the company is equally important.”
