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.

But Jason’s antics tonight had almost disarmed her wrath. Despite his lack of

explanation, his actions were speaking volumes. He didn’t want kids out of fear she’d use him and leave.

Wrapped in Jason’s warmth, she looked at him and said, “You’re the one who told me to pack up and leave, and now you’re demanding promises from me. No consistency.”

He pulled her closer, kissing her cheek before whispering, “I told you to leave because you were only thinking about having kids and not thinking about us.”

His breath tickled her ear, and her legs went weak. She retorted, “Oh, please. Who’s the one that’s hardly ever home?”

It was rare for Estrella to dredge up the past, and it warmed Jason’s heart. He held her tighter.

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.
