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

Chapter 163

Lately, Estrella couldn’t stand the smell of smoke and booze, so Jason had become extra vigilant about it. He used to sneak the occasional cigarette, but now he had quit cold turkey.

Estrella looked up at him and said, “I know, you better go shower and try to hit the hay early.”

Jason planted a kiss on her lips, teasing, “Can’t wait, huh?”

“Duh, I’ve been waiting up for you half the night,” Estrella replied, playfully pinching Jason’s

butt.

Jason, at a loss for words, gave her a lingering kiss before grabbing his clothes and heading to the bathroom.

After a while, freshly showered, he came out and sat down beside Estrella. As he pulled her into his arms, Estrella turned to him and mentioned, “I got the invitation to the

school’s anniversary celebration this afternoon.”

“We’ll go together,” Jason said, kissing her cheek.

Since the gathering at the club, whispers of Jason and Estrella’s marriage had started circulating around the school on a small scale. But many were skeptical, saying that Jason had been so smitten with Holly in the past that it was impossible for him to tie the knot so quickly. They argued that a young guy like Jason wouldn’t rush into marriage. Some even suggested that because Jason was the CEOof Nelson International, there would have been a grand wedding, and the lack of any such news meant that perhaps Estrella was spreading false rumors to corner Jason into submission. They recalled how Estrella used to visit Jason at Ravenwood College even before she enrolled, indicating a one-sided affection from her.

With all this gossip, the truth about Jason and Estrella’s marriage became even more obscured. The doubters were mostly alumni who had been close to Holly or had a soft spot for her. They believed that even though Holly had passed away, Jason hadn’t move on and still held a torch for her.

Jason had heard these rumors through Drew, which was why he insisted on attending the celebration with Estrella.
