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

Chapter 93

Estrella-casually removed Jason’s hand and poured him a glass of wine, “The bright lights and the buzz of the night, they’re just too much fun, makes you not want to head home.”

Jason felt like he was being subtly jabbed again, as if Estrella was hinting at his own. reluctance to go home. Unable to get the upper hand with Estrella, Jason’s icy glare drifted towards Bryce.

Bryce, catching the look, turned to Estrella with a stern face, “Estrella, a place like this really isn’t for a proper lady like you. Better you head back to the hotel and rest with Jason. Look at him, he’s a catch and a half, and he’s even got the good looks. Just commit to being Mrs. Nelson and forget all this glitz and glam-it’s got nothing to do with

you.”

Bryce’s tune had changed so quickly, it was as if he wasn’t the same guy who’d phoned Estrella earlier to come out and have a good time.

Jesse kicked him under the table, “Show some spine, will ya? Stop embarrassing us.”

They were a trio, and in Jesse’s mind, Bryce’s cowardice reflected on her and Estrella as well, but she and Estrella were not about to back down.

After topping up Jason’s drink, Estrella looked up at Bryce, “Since when did I become the ‘proper lady’?”

Estrella wasn’t about to assume such a hefty label. The terms ‘proper’ and ‘lady’ were as foreign to her as could be.

Jesse cleared her throat and added out of the blue, “More like a sexy young housewife.”

Estrella chuckled at Jesse’s description, while Jason’s face turned a shade that begged not to be witnessed. Jason’s expression soured, and Bryce, breaking out in a cold sweat, hurriedly interjected, “Estrella, please just go back with Jason.”

Jason wouldn’t lay a finger on Ella or Jesse, but Bryce? He was sure to get skinned alive, especially with the way Jason had just stared at him.

Estrella speared a piece of honeydew melon with her fruit fork, “Bryce, your skill at reading the room could use some work. Can’t you tell Jason wants to party too?” She then turned to Jason, “Isn’t that right, Mr. Jason?”

Teased by Estrella, Jason grabbed her chin, pulled her close, and then leaned in to bite off the piece of melon she had just put in her mouth.

Estrella protested, “Jason, have you no shame? There’s a whole plate of it, and you go for the one in my mouth because it tastes better?”

Jason gently wiped her lips, “Yours does taste sweeter.”
