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

Chapter 113

Jason’s casual coolness broke through the awkward tension as he said, “I’ve seen Estrella at her best and her worst, so no need to sweat it on her behalf, Logan.”

Logan lifted his gaze, perplexed by what Jason had just said. What was he getting at? Could it be that Jason and Estrella had crossed a professional line? That sort of scandal had never touched their firm before.

Sure, Logan could handle a proper romance, but if Estrella was cozying up to Jason just to secure the Nelson International legal account, that was a whole other can of worms. he’d rather not open.

While such unethical conduct might fly in other firms, it was a no-go at Justice Guardians LLP. That kind of behavior would not only tarnish their reputation, it could also cast a shadow over their work’s integrity.

As Logan stood there, a portrait of confusion and discomfort, Jason casually wiped the drool from Estrella’s mouth and nonchalantly stated, “Ms. Estrella is my wife.”

__”What?” Logan’s glasses nearly slid off his nose in shock. “Mr. Jason, you’re saying…?”

He trailed off, too embarrassed to finish his sentence, half convinced he was hearing things. Jason reiterated firmly, “Ms. Estrella is my wife. We’ve been married for over two years. So Logan, no need for embarrassment on her part, and you can put any unsavory

rumors to rest.”

Jason knew Logan’s integrity wouldn’t allow for any exploitation of employees. That was why he had been comfortable with Estrella working at Justice Guardians LLP. Otherwise, he would have pulled her from the firm ages ago.

Logan’s jaw might as well have hit the floor when Jason reaffirmed his marital status. Staring at the couple in disbelief, Logan finally managed to say, “So Mr. Jason, you and Estrella are married. No wonder she’s got such… uh…”

Catching himself before saying anything inappropriate, Logan quickly changed tack, “I apologize for any assumptions, Mr. Jason. I didn’t mean any offense. It’s just that…”
