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

Chapter 152

Jason had his hands firmly on the steering wheel when Estrella’s question came through, prompting him to steal a glance her way. “If Holly were still here, I would make the same choice, to be with you,” he said with unwavering certainty.

Estrella simply watched him, the corners of her mouth curling into a knowing smile. She had felt a tad juvenile for asking such a hypothetical question. Life wasn’t a bed of

what-ifs.

As Jason met her gaze once more, Estrella offered him a quick smile before turning her attention back to the road ahead. The mysterious Maserati she had encountered twice now lingered in her thoughts. Surely Bryce had some leads by now.

When they arrived home, Marie greeted them with the warmth of a spring breeze. “Mr. Jason, Ms. Estrella, welcome back.” Her joy was palpable, akin to a mother welcoming her children home, even though her recent blunder about Estrella’s pregnancy had left her

a bit embarrassed.

After exchanging pleasantries with Marie, the couple sat down to a home-cooked meal. Estrella had been in good spirits during the drive, but the sight of fish being served made her uneasy, a frown creasing her forehead. Once fond of seafood, she now found the

smell unbearable.

Noticing her discomfort, Jason served her a bowl of consommé. “Not feeling well?” he inquired gently.

Clearing her throat, Estrella took a sip of water “My stomach’s been a bit off,” she

admitted.

Jason placed the bowl before her and signaled to Marie to take the fish away.

Marie couldn’t help but murmur to herself as she carried the fish back to the kitchen. “It’s so odd. She used to love fish, and now it’s as if she can’t stand the smell of it. She’s been going to bed earlier too. These are all tell-tale signs of early pregnancy. I’ve raised two kids of my own and cared for expectant mothers before joining the Nelson family-l should know.” With a puzzled look, Marie decided to prepare a comforting soup for Estrella the next day.
