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

Chapter 75

Jason’s

lips were as soft as a marshmallow, and the way his kisses peppered down on her face was so ridiculous that Estrella couldn’t help but laugh. She’d only washed a

couple of his shirts out of sheer boredom, but the guy was acting like she’d just saved his

life.

After a flurry of smooches, Jason rested his chin on her shoulder, enveloping her in a warm embrace. Estrella glanced at him sideways. “Jason, you’re selling yourself short! Getting all emotional over a couple of laundered shirts?”

She knew his habit of not wearing a shirt for more than two days, so she’d just helped him ou. After all, he had come all this way to see her. No matter what his purpose was, he had at least put his heart into it.

To Estrella’s teasing, Jason replied with a cool edge, “Estrella, do you really think I came all this way to ask you to wash my shirts?”

“Or was it that you missed me?” Estrella probed.

She knew Jason’s little schemes better than anyone. He must have heard some unreliable gossip and come to confront her, only to find nothing. She just couldn’t be bothered to call him out on it.

Jason didn’t respond to Estrella’s jest, instead pressing his face against hers. “If I don’t reach out to you, you just won’t bother, will you?”

Estrella bristled at his words. “Now, that’s heartless, Jason. In over two years of marriage, I’ve caught you red-handed many times. And now you have the nerve to bite back?”

Jason’s face darkened. “Caught me doing what exactly? Do you have any solid evidence?” Upon hearing this, Estrella retorted, “Don’t rush me! When I get the proof, I’ll make sure the divorce leaves you penniless.”

Jason scooped her up from the ground. “You gan scheme all you want with my body, but forget about the money.” She could trick him with anything, but money was off-limits.

“Are you this stingy with everyone else? Not shelling out a dime?” Estrella challenged.

Jason flopped her down on the bed. His voice was laced with arrogance, “There’s a line of women eager to spend money just for the pleasure of my company. Why would I need to spend a cent?”

“So what you’re saying is, if I haven’t slept with you, it’s because I’m stingy?” Estrella shot back.

Before she knew it, Jason’s lips were on hers again. In the heat of their passionate kiss, Jason stripped away Estrella’s clothes, but his expression suddenly changed. “Estrella,
