Chapter 193

When Jason challenged Estrella about her loyalties, she retorted with an air of inevitability, “Of course, I’ve seen someone else. What did you think I’ve been doing for the past three years? Waiting around for you?”

Jason’s face darkened at her response, and he just stared at her in silence.

Estrella sighed wearily, “Let’s just find the time to sort out the paperwork, okay?” She added, “I’ve got things to do, and so do you.”

She had thought their meeting yesterday went fairly well and had hoped they could discuss things civilly and get everything sorted. But it seemed Jason was just as stubborn as he had been three years ago. Even though the idea of divorce was hers, it rankled her that he didn’t seem to consider how he had treated her in the past. Whether it was Serene or Holly, everyone else seemed to matter more to him than her

Jason was aware that any further conversation would only lead to mutual destruction. He stared at her for a long moment before pushing the car door open and stepping out. In almost 30 years of life, he had never been kicked out of a car before.

The car door closed with a definitive thud, and Estrella, without sparing Jason another glance, revved up the engine and sped off.

Hands in his pockets, Jason watched her drive away, his face a picture of frustration. But, at least, she was back in town.

Immediately after leaving Nelson International, Estrella filed for divorce without hesitation. There was nothing left to discuss with Jason; a divorce was inevitable.

Returning home dejected, Estrella had just collapsed on the couch when her phone rang. It was Drew.

Without much energy, she answered and cut straight to the point, “Has Jason come to his senses?”

On the other end, Drew reported cheerfully, “Ms. Estrella, Mr. Jason asked me to find out what documents you need from him. I’ll bring them right over. And Mr. Jason mentioned if you need him in person for anything, just let him know in advance.”

Estrella hung up abruptly, irritated by Drew’s chipper tone. Didn’t Jason realize that even without his cooperation, she could still have him served? According to her plan, Jason would be getting his summons from the court the following day.

As soon as she ended the call, Autumn descended from the second floor, while Isaac was still napping.

Noticing Estrella’s mood, Autumn asked, “Trouble at work? You seem out of sorts.”
