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

Chapter 107

Korey’s words nearly sent Kristin into a fit of rage that could’ve flipped the dinner table

over.

“That no-good son of a gun,” she fumed to herself. Such brazen audacity right under her nose! No doubt he had been scheming to woo Estrella behind the Nelsons’ backs. He must’ve been hell-bent on poaching her.

Despite the storm brewing inside of her, Kristin managed to quell her fury and said with a feigned smile, “Fine, I’ll keep an eye out for you!”

She’s definitely gonna find a girl to give him a run for his money.

Estrella, at the side, rubbed her temples as she watched the silent battle between Kristin and Korey. By the time the rather unpleasant dinner ended around 8:30 PM, Estrella finally breathed a sigh of relief. The charade was over for the day.

In the backseat of the car, Kristin glared at the taillights of the vehicle ahead and said irritably, “Estrella, Korey’s up to no good. You need to keep your distance from him.”

Estrella replied with a touch of exasperation, “Korey’s just messing with you. He doesn’t have those kinds of intentions. He only did that to rile up Jason after seeing us argue.”

Kristin wasn’t buying it. “That’s what he told you, right? You’re still too naive, Estrella. You don’t understand men. He’s playing reverse psychology to lower your guard so he can get close to you. That’s a classic move. Don’t fall for it.”

“Okay, I got it,” Estrella conceded.

Kristin had spoken, and what more could she say? Besides, any objection would only lead to a night of endless nagging.

In the leading vehicle, Blake turned to Korey with a puzzled look. “Korey, you’re not known for stirring the pot like this. Why’d you go head-to-head with Ms, Kristin today?”
