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

Chapter 140

Jason’s right hand tenderly caressed her face. He broke the silence with an uncharacteristically gentle inquiry, “Lost the case?”

That just didn’t make any sense. The court proceedings had only just begun. Estrella was charging the defendant with intentional harm and murder. Such a lawsuit wouldn’t usually be resolved so quickly.

Propping herself up slightly, Estrella, lay on her side on the bed, gazing up at Jason to complain, “The defendant punctured all four of my tires. What a jerk.”

One would have been bad enough, but all four? The thought still irked Estrella.

Jason’s expression darkened as he listened to her, his grip tightening on her hand.

But then Estrella continued, “After such a long day, I just wanted to sleep, but I’ve been tossing and turning without a wink of shut-eye.”

Jason’s gloomy face softened into a smile as he teased, “It’s rare to see you this riled up. You can’t even sleep.”

Typically, Estrella was unfazed by the world’s troubles, going about her business as if the sky were always blue.

Before Estrella could respond, Jason brushed aside the strands of hair on her face, suggesting, “Marie mentioned you skipped dinner. Why don’t you go have a bite? Leave work at the office. If you’re struggling with evidence, I could send Drew to handle it.”

Estrella resisted, “Keep out of my work matters. I can handle it.” If she needed Jason’s help for her job, what was the point of her years of hard work and education?

Jason insisted, “At least go eat something.”

Estrella flopped back onto the bed. “I’m not hungry.”

The night was young, and their room was a haven of tranquility. It had been a long while since they’d enjoyed such a leisurely chat.

Jason found Estrella’s willingness to banter a delightful treat, feeling their distance wasn’t as vast as before. Seeing Estrella sprawled on the bed again, he leaned in to kiss her cheek, playfully threatening, “If you’re not coming down, I’m getting undressed.”
