Chapter 80

Estrella slowed her pace and, with her usual nonchalant smile, quipped, “Finding me to file a lawsuit?” It was as though she and Jason were mere acquaintances, not husband and

wife.

Jason flicked the remains of his cigarette to the ground and stamped it out. “Not planning on coming home?”

She quirked a brow and gestured to the door behind her. “Hey! Isn’t that my home?”

Jason, with his hands buried in his pockets, watched Estrella in silence for a moment before speaking up, “Estrella, I’m here now. Let’s both step back, and besides, Mom’s starting to get suspicious.”

Estrella nearly laughed. She had retreated as far as she could. Where else was she supposed to go?

However, she didn’t feel like arguing with Jason about who was right or wrong. Suppressing a yawn, she said, “Deal with your mom on your own. I need to get some sleep.”

As Estrella turned towards her door, Jason caught her arm, pulling her back.

Estrella faced him.. “Jason, what’s the deal? It’s late at night. Don’t make me call security.””

Jason gripped her arm and spun her back towards him. “I’m giving you a way out here, Estrella. Take the hint.”

“Don’t bother!” she snapped. “I don’t need it. Besides, I’m notorious for being shameless, which you should know by now.”

Did she have to accept it just because he offered? Who did he think he was?

Estrella was unfazed, and Jason was losing his cool. He had come all the way here, humbled himself before her, yet she still demanded more? Jason swallowed his “What do you want?”
