Chapter 50

Estrella scoffed, “What, should I go around proclaiming you’re my hubby? Aren’t you afraid of losing your street cred?”

Her sarcasm elicited a chuckle from Jason, “Playing with kids who aren’t even out of high school, Estrella, you really got some nerve.”

Estrella flashed a carefree smile, flipping her hair with flair, “Can’t help it, I’m just irresistible to all ages.”

Jason snorted coldly, then slid his arm around her waist and yanked her into his embrace, “Estrella, you better behave yourself out there, or you’re going to face the music.”

Korey had been eyeing their marriage like a hawk, Erin was up to no good, and now some Alex was in the picture? Jason wondered how he’d never noticed before how Estrella seemed to be a magnet for men..

Estrella casually looped her arms around Jason’s shoulders and said nonchalantly, “If you leave me lonely at home all the time, I can’t make any promises. You play your game, and

I play mine. Fair’s fair, Mr. Jason.”

Before Estrella could finish, Jason’s lips silenced hers.

Estrella’s face darkened. Damn it, was he getting addicted to taking advantage of her? Either make it real or back off. What was this ambiguous game he was playing?

As Jason forcefully pried her lips apart, Estrella kept her composure, but once he was distracted, she bit him hard and pushed him away.

Jason gasped, touching his lips and said, “Estrella, what are you, a damn canine?”

Estrella pulled out her lipstick and mirror from her purse, touching up her makeup with an unfazed expression, “Mr. Jason, let’s keep the public displays of affection out of the public. eye, shall we? Don’t interfere with my man-hunting.”

After running his thumb over his lips, Jason’s eyes sharpened as he looked toward Estrella, but someone rounded the corner. “Mr. Jason.”
