We?”

Jason’s gaze softened as he looked down at Estrella, his eyes losing their fiery red tint, “Yeah. Let’s go home.”

With Jason’s aggression diffused, Grayson and the others exhaled in relief. Thomas quipped, “Ella’s got a way with Jason, doesn’t she?”

Bryce, with a flick of his leg, kicked the incapacitated man on the ground, “Damn it, thinking you can mess with my Ella? You got what you deserved.”

Estrella just laughed, “If everyone thought that way, there’d be no justice in the world.”

Her resolve silenced Grayson. She wasn’t wrong to stand her ground.

Half an hour later, when they returned home, Jason was still brooding, his face creased

A moment later, with her sleeves rolled up, she emerged and announced, “The bath’s ready. Tonight, you get the VIP treatment.”

Jason let out a faint smile and headed for the bathroom. Estrella, sleeves still rolled,
