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

Chapter 45

Jason “Don’t you want the Digital Springs project anymore?”

Estrella immediately opened the door on the passenger side, smiling as she got in, Talking business works for me too.”

Jason’s expression remained one of distaste, Dammit, she was always so pragmatic, wanting only the most tangible things in life.

As the engine roared to life, Estrella shot Jason a look full of ambiguous admiration, her smile wide and seemingly adoring. Out of the corner of his eye, Jason caught her gaze and felt his skin crawl with goosebumps. Anyone who didn’t know better might think Estrella was head over heels for him.

Jason tugged at his collar with his right hand trying to shake off the feeling and said coolly, “You hung up on me, and you even turned off your phone. Have you found your next option? Are you sure he can give you a child?”

Estrella’s smile faltered, no need to ask-it was Bryce’s doing. He just sneaked back by -hitching a ride on the train, but it seemed he really can’t learn his lesson.

After a moment of eyeing Jason, Estrella chuckled. “Are you actually worried about me?” At her laugh, Jason’s face soured. He deflected, “Where were you last night?” Estrella straightened up and gazed ahead. “Felt down. Took a drive to Waterfall Acres.”

Her excuse did little to alleviate the silence between them. Estrella was actually used to Jason’s moods long ago. She was just making things up to him.

With Jason staying quiet, Estrella prodded, “Feeling guilty?”

Before Jason could reply, Estrella pressed on, “If you really feel bad, why don’t you lend a hand with the Digital Springs project?”

Jason’s hands gripped the steering wheel as he replied indifferently, “Dream on.”

Estrella was not having it. “So you were just stringing me along?”

Jason just kept silent.

Seeing this, Estrella, in a huff, grabbed a water bottle from the side and threw it at him.
