Chapter 145
Estrella leaned her elbow on the car window, cradling her face in her hand, and replied to Jason with a lack of energy, “Just thinking about nothing.”
There was still a chasm between her and Jason, an invisible wall that no amount of glossing over the uncomfortable truths could mask. They could never truly return to the way things were before.
Jason had never brought up the past, and Estrella didn’t want to either. Besides, bringing up Jason’s former flame-especially one who had passed away-wasn’t the wisest move she could make. It would only diminish her worth in his eyes and elevate Holly’s importance in his heart, nudging him back into the arms of bygone memories.
“I shouldn’t have brought you here,” Jason muttered.
Estrella looked at him with a playful smile. “So, you don’t want me to be part of your life?”
“You know that’s not what I mean,” Jason replied.
Estrella just smiled and didn’t say anything more.
Before long, they were back at home. Marie greeted them with her usual cheerfulness, saying, “You’re back! Dinner is ready. Mr. Jason just made some ribs that are out of this world-I tried them myself!”
Suppressing a yawn, Estrella responded, “Marie, I’m not hungry. You guys go ahead and
eat.”
Marie wiped her hands on her apron, puzzled. “What’s the matter? How can a little outing’ take away your appetite?”
“We’ll eat later,” Jason said.
Estrella was clearly upset, and Jason noticed it. But then, if she had taken him to Korey’s place, he wouldn’t be thrilled either.
Retreating to their bedroom, Estrella grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom. As she splashed water on her face, an inexplicable sense of melancholy washed over her. When she came out of the shower, Jason put aside the case file he was reading and looked at her. “Come on, try to eat something.”
“I’m not hungry,” Estrella said, toweling her hair. Then, placing her hand on her stomach, she teased, “Besides, who knows if I’m pregnant? You haven’t been careful lately, have you?”
