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

Chapter 137

Estrella couldn’t deny it-Jason’s proximity was intoxicating, his touch a magic spell. Every brush of his skin sent unusual shivers through her. It had always been this way, from the beginning to now.

Her hands gripped his wrists as she swallowed hard, then turned to face him. “I’ve written the promise not to mention divorce again. Don’t push your luck.”

Jason nuzzled her cheek. “Just let me hold you.”

Estrella fell silent, not pushing his hands away from her waist. She had been furious and resolved on divorce when she found out he’d been secretly using contraception. So much so that she’d kept her distance, ignoring him entirely.

As the storm outside subsided, so did their turbulent relationship, returning to a semblance of peace.

Jason kissed her face, admitting, “My fault. I should’ve come home.”

His candidness left Estrella speechless. Indeed, spare those who concede. Besides, the quiet of the night was ripe for intimacy, especially after signing such an agreement. Life’s always a mess. It’s never smooth sailing. There are always problems.
