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

Chapter 63

Estrella nibbled on her food, casually remarking, “Serene isn’t that foolish. Her tactics are far more subtle.”

There’s nothing quite like the venom a woman can have for another, and Serene’s

intelligence lied precisely in her refusal to stoop to petty schemes. That way, Serene never gave anyone anything to hold against her, always appearing as the most pitiful and innocent party.

Jason remained silent, approached the dining table, and took a seat beside Estrella.

Estrella, who had always detested cilantro and bell peppers since childhood, found them unfortunately ubiquitous in restaurant dishes. Noticing Estrella’s untouched meat dishes, Jason poured her a glass of water and began picking out the cilantro, “If it still tastes too strong, just rinse your bite in the water.”

At his gesture, Estrella chuckled, “You’re quite attentive, remembering all these little quirks

of mine.”

Jason’s face was as expressionless as ever, “I’ve known you for 23 years.”

Estrella’s smile grew more pronounced, playfully nudging him under the table with her foot, “Tonight, I’m in your service, satisfaction guaranteed.”

Jason didn’t buy it for a second, “Quit bragging.”

After a few flirtatious teases, she’d usually leave him hanging. He wasn’t falling for it this

time, and Estrella might as well forget about bringing a child into the picture.

“No lies,” Estrella insisted, “I’m still thinking about motherhood, you know.”

Jason just said, “Just eat.”

Estrella added, “I’ve got something this afternoon, so I’ll head back to the firm first, okay? Have someone bring over those expense reports and filings.”

Jason gave a chuckle, “Took you long enough to get to the point.”
