Chapter 104

As Jason was getting a little too frisky, Estrella’s hand flew up and delivered a stinging slap to the back of his hand. “Hormones raging, huh? Don’t even care where you are,”

Estrella was about to shove Jason away when his arms, snaked around her waist, tightened, pulling her back against him. A chuckle escaped her lips, finding the situation somewhat amusing.

Right on cue, her pot of soup was ready. Estrella glanced at the simmering pot, then back at Jason, pinching his chin playfully. “Not interested in your mom’s nourishing soup, huh? Think you can handle me when you can’t even handle a meal? Eat up, then come take care of me,” she teased. With that, she hopped down from the kitchen counter.

Jason watched her with a longing gaze before making his way to the dining room, where Estrella had served him a heaping bowl of soup, brimming with rich ingredients.

He stared at the soup and then back at Estrella. Their eyes met, and Estrella pushed two bread rolls towards him, adding with a mix of admiration and sarcasm, “Your mom really cares about you.”

Kristin must really doubt her son’s strength to load him up with so many supplements.

After Estrella handed him a soup spoon, Jason took a tentative sip of the

complex-flavored concoction Kristin had made. His expression twisted. The soup was an acquired taste.

Noticing Jason’s grimace, Estrella couldn’t help but laugh. “Looks like your mom can’t win over your stomach.”

No sooner had she gloated than Jason grabbed her chin, pulled her close, and planted a kiss on her lips, pushing a piece of veggies into her mouth from his own.

Estrella’s expression darkened, and despite her reluctance, she swallowed. Feeling queasy, she grabbed a bread roll and took a big bite, grumbling, “Don’t get any ideas about doing this again.”

Kristin had served her soup in the evening. Estrella mentioned she was afraid that if she drank it, Jason wouldn’t be able to handle her. Kristin, concerned about her son being embarrassed, didn’t let her drink it. In the end, Jason fed her a spoonful anyway.

Estrella felt disgusted, but Jason seemed strangely satisfied, even finishing the entire bowl of soup.
