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

Chapter 72

Estrella’s repeated pleas finally got through to Jason, the old rusty pipe clattering from his

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.”

Richie lay curled up on the ground, too beaten to even open his eyes. From the moment Estrella refused his 8 million, he should’ve realized she was no ordinary girl. After all, what average person could resist the temptation of 8 million?

As the group made their way out of the dilapidated warehouse, Grayson shoved his hands. in his pockets and muttered to Estrella, “Maybe you should consider coming back to the office.”

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

with concern.

Covered in blood, he noticed Estrella’s silence on the way back and spoke in a subdued tone, “Did I scare you?”

Estrella, picking up pajamas from the bed, turned to him with a smile, “Me? Scared? Hardly.” She eyed him up and down, “Maybe take a shower first?”

Jason didn’t respond. He just stripped off his clothes and sat on the couch with his eyes closed, lost in thought.

Estrella, seeing his state, stopped talking and headed to the bathroom.

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,
