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

Chapter 47

Confusion clouded Estrella’s eyes as she stared at Jason, unable to fathom his actions. She had thought he was off drafting a divorce agreement, not launching into an impromptu lip-lock.

As Jason’s insistent kiss pushed her back step by step, Estrella tumbled onto the plush bed, his hands interlocking with hers firmly. His breath warmed her ear as he whispered, “Estrella, let’s cut to the chase. You just want me to come around more often, and to cement this marriage, right?”

Estrella turned her face towards him, her voice tinged with defiance. “Is that a crime now?” Jason’s breath heated her ear again as he murmured, “I’ll give you what you want.”

With that, he captured her lips once more.

While Jason’s kisses were fervent, Estrella’s mind drifted to the image of Serene serving him soup, their visits to the cemetery, and his lingering memories of Holly.

– “Estrella, how will you know if those fortune tellers are right or wrong if you don’t give it a shot? Are you really willing to hang all your hopes on this one man?”

– “Forget about having kids.”

Despite Jason’s rare initiative that evening, Estrella’s thoughts were elsewhere. Was she truly ready to have a child with him? Could she maintain her composure and contentment as a single mother if they divorced and Jason moved on to marry and have children with someone else?

Estrella realized, almost to her own surprise, that her mindset had shifted subtly over the past months. The idea of parting ways with Jason had even flickered through her mind more than once.

With these thoughts crowding her mind, Estrella suddenly pushed Jason away. “I’m just not feeling it tonight.”

No matter how much she wanted to complete the most important task of her life, Estrella couldn’t force herself to go through with it, not when compliance seemed impossible. Besides, knowing Jason’s temperament, he might just toss her a couple of pills in the morning, and then she’d be left worse off than before, utterly frustrated by him.

At Estrella’s refusal, Jason gripped her chin. “You don’t want this?”

Jason’s mood soured at her words, his expression darkening.
