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

Chapter 175

Estrella listened to Jason’s inquiry with a calmness that seemed to come naturally to her. “If you’re worried, let’s go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup, okay?”

The calmness in Estrella’s voice only seemed to stir something in Jason. “We need to talk,” he said.

“Fine, let’s talk at the town hall,” Estrella replied without missing a beat.

At the mention of the town hall, Jason, without another word, snapped his phone shut. This was the second time he had sought her out on his own initiative. The last time he came over, it was to apologize for something he’d blurted out in a moment of anger. Yet, she was relentless, and he thought to himself, Screw it, I’m not putting up with this anymore.” With extreme irritation, he tossed his phone onto the dashboard and started the car with a scowl, making a sharp turn and leaving without looking back.

Estrella hadn’t been back to Sandalwood Oasis for a while now, and with all the drama, she still wanted a divorce. Jason was nearing his breaking point. He had thought she would cool off after a while, and when he came over to offer an olive branch, she would gracefully accept it. Instead, she seemed to have made herself quite comfortable on her high horse. If she didn’t want to make up, that was just fine by him. He was tired of trying

anyway.

Upstairs, Estrella exhaled sharply as she saw Jason hang up the phone. Her heart rate accelerated. Jason was astute, guessing that she might be pregnant amidst the chaos.

Her right hand gently touched her belly, relieved that the baby was too young to show any signs. Otherwise, the Nelson family would never allow them to split up.

The following morning, as Estrella readied herself to leave, she was startled to find Jason leaning against her front door, looking utterly dejected. “What’s wrong with you, showing up here so early in the morning?” she said, taken aback.

She took a closer look at him. In the 23 years she’d known him, she’d never seen him look so disheveled, with stubble on his chin and upper lip, and numerous cigarette butts littering the ground. Even when Holly had passed away, he hadn’t looked like this.

Disdainfully rolling her eyes at him, Estrella said, “We’re heading to the town hall, right? Since I have promised you a divorce, I’ll see it through. A phone call would have been enough to let me know.” If there was such a lack of trust between them, what was the point of continuing this charade?

After she spoke, Jason’s already haggard face seemed to darken even further. He approached her, grabbed the back of her neck, and ushered her into the elevator.

Estrella grabbed his wrist. “We are about to get a divorce. Don’t touch me,” she warned, then added, “Any past climax on my part was nothing short of charity.”
