Chapter 195

It had been three years since they last saw each other, yet she had somehow grown even more stunning, her presence more commanding.

Their eyes met, and with a hint of a smirk, Estrella looked up at Jason. “Don’t tell me you can’t bear to be without me after three years of not seeing me?”

Her casual words hung in the air as Jason tightened his hold on her waist, pulling her closer. He had missed her, that much was clear.

Jason was staring at her without saying anything, so Estrella placed her hands against his chest and pushed him gently but firmly. “What exactly are you planning to do in broad daylight, right outside the courthouse? Save whatever you want to say for inside the

courtroom.”

With her push, Jason only wrapped his arms around her tighter. Estrella wasn’t having any of it, her voice turning icy. “Jason, don’t presume I’ll keep humoring you with a good temper.”

Her patience and tolerance for Jason had been exhausted three years ago. Back then, she had indulged him because she wanted to start a family, but now that her goal was achieved, there was no reason to coddle him any longer.

“Ms. Estrella, you’re still here.” A voice called out from behind them, and as they turned to look, Estrella finally managed to step back from his embrace.

“Ms. Estrella, is this gentleman a friend of yours? He looks familiar.”

“Yes, an old friend,” Estrella responded with a smile.

Once the person had left, Jason’s hand moved to the nape of Estrella’s neck, guiding her into the passenger seat. After a moment, Jason got into the car himself and said coldly, “Drop the divorce suit.”

Estrella replied without a hint of emotion, “Not happening.”

Her outright refusal had him resting his arm along the window, frowning in silence. In the past, Jason thought Estrella was quite easy to communicate with, that they could discuss everything calmly. Now, there wasn’t even room for discussion.

As Jason remained silent, Estrella spoke again with calm authority, “If there’s nothing else, I’m getting out.” He didn’t open the door for her but instead started the car with a frosty demeanor.
