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

Chapter 216

Kristin and Keith didn’t expect Jason to come at this time. For a moment, Kristin felt awkward. When Kristin looked at Estrella, Kristin used her eyes to explain that she didn’t call Jason, and she didn’t know why he came.

Keith, sensing the tension, turned to Jason and said with a casual smile, “Jason,

timing couldn’t be better. It happens to be dinner time. Why don’t you take Estrella out for a bite? I owe her a formal meal and an apology once I’m out of this hospital bed.”

Jason acknowledged with a nonchalant ‘hm’ and agreed to the plan.

Fearing Estrella might decline the offer, Kristin quickly chimed in, “Estrella, it’s about that time for dinner anyway. Why not grab something to eat with Jason before heading back?” “Sure, why not.” Estrella wasn’t one to make a fuss. Agreeing with Kristin and Keith didn’t. mean she was bound to follow through, so after bidding them farewell, she left the hospital room with Jason.

The ward was quiet, with few patients around, and silence filled the corridors as they made their way to the elevator. Jason reached out and pressed the button. Soon, they were in the parking lot, where Estrella turned to Jason and said, “You go on with your business. I’ll head back now.”

Jason simply replied, “I’ll drive you home.”

She glanced at her watch, and Jason added, “Just to drop you off.”

Earlier that afternoon, Estrella had gone to the government offices with Logan, who had given her a lift to the hospital. When Jason offered to drive her home, Estrella didn’t put on airs. She opened the passenger door and got into the car without a fuss. After all, they had known each other for decades. It would be petty to argue over such a trivial matter.

They both understood, deep down, that their paths were diverging. It was only a matter of waiting for the right moment to have that final, definitive talk

The car started, and they drove in a comfortable silence, so profound that it felt like they were alone, yet acutely aware of each other’s presence.
