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

Chapter 112

Jason interlaced his fingers with Estrella’s, grinning as he introduced her, “My wife.” There was a palpable pride in his voice when he said it.

The owner’s eyes went wide with surprise. “Mr. Jason, you’re married?” After a moment’s recovery, the owner looked at them both with a warm smile. “Mrs. Nelson is quite the beauty, so elegant. You two are a perfect match.”

He quickly followed up with, “Mr. Jason, this is the first time you have brought your wife here for a meal. Don’t rush off to settle the bill later. This one’s on me for Mrs. Nelson.”

The owner sure knew how to do business. Jason patronizing his restaurant was cause for celebration. He never asked Jason to pay, as Jason was not one to take advantage. He’d long since had Drew take care of it.

At today’s enthusiastic offer, Jason chuckled, “Alright, then I’ll thank you on behalf of Estrella.”

“It’s nothing,” the owner dismissed with a wave of his hand. “It’s my pleasure to have you and your lady here.”

Walking beside Jason, Estrella glanced up at him. She couldn’t help but smile inwardly. He really did a complete turnaround. Now he openly acknowledged her status outside.

Once in the private dining room, the owner personally served their dishes. Jason, serving Estrella some food, teased, “Thanks to Ms. Estrella’s charm, we’re dining on the house.”

Estrella chuckled, “See, I told you I have influence. You better sweet-talk me more often. Her playful banter made Jason gaze at her intently, taking him back to their college day

Estrella tasted her dish and noticed Jason staring at her. “Why are you looking at me like that? Aren’t you going to eat?”

Instead of answering directly, Jason quipped, “I’m more interested in devouring you than the meal.”

Estrella laughed it off. “Alright, then. No sleep tonight. Let’s see if I can wear you out.”
