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

Chapter 228

The sound of Isaac calling out “Daddy” surprised Jason so much that he spilled the soup he was holding. His ears turned a shade of crimson the next second. After all his years, that was the first time anyone had ever called him ‘Dad.’

Staring at Isaac, Jason was at a loss for words for a good long while.

Estrella couldn’t help but chuckle at Jason’s startled look and said to Isaac, “Hey kiddo, don’t go throwing that word around. You’ll give him a heart attack.” She then turned to Jason, “Don’t mind him. My boy’s like that. If he takes a shine to someone, he’s quick to call them ‘Dad.”

Jason was flabbergasted. Estrella’s words reminded him of how just yesterday, Isaac was calling Jesse ‘Dad.’

He gave Estrella a look that reeked of judgment and muttered, “He’s starved for affection.” Estrella sipped her soup nonchalantly,. “What can I do? It’s not like I can morph into a dude.”

At a loss for a comeback, Jason just stared at her for a while before continuing to feed Isaac his breakfast.

Isaac watched the banter between them, quietly munching on his food without making a peep, not wanting to interrupt their exchange.

-Mr. Jason, Ms. Estrella did have a boyfriend overseas, but sadly he passed away in a car accident not long after.

Remembering what Drew had reported, and the possibility that Isaac might be the child of another man, Jason felt a pang in his heart. The man was gone, yet she chose to bring the child into the world. That kind of devotion was unmatched.

Jason fed Isaac a piece of chicken and turned to Estrella, asking with a softer tone, “You really liked that guy so much that you’d have his kid even after he was gone?”

Then looking back at Isaac, Jason felt his question might have lacked empathy. The kid looked so much like Estrella.

Estrella smiled, “Yeah, I suppose. Plus, you know I can be a bit superstitious and stubborn when it comes to kids.” If it hadn’t been for those fortune-tellers, she might not have

Though she spoke tough, deep down Estrella knew it clear as day: she had married Jason because of a longstanding affection, their history, and her feelings for him that hadn’t completely worn off at the time.
