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

Chapter 244

Though weary, he relished the comfort in the tenderness of the moment.

This time, Estrella didn’t resist. She simply watched him, letting him kiss her, showing no reaction. They had argued and hurled insults. What Jason was doing made her feel very

weary.

Without resistance from Estrella, Jason felt a sudden pang of anxiety, and his passionate kissing slowed down.

Once Jason had satisfied his hunger, his right hand gently stroked her face, his gaze filled with profound affection. It was only after that, Estrella began to speak. “Jason,” she said, “if you keep this up, it’s just going to get old.”

She had gone upstairs with him out of trust, and yet, he still tried to take advantage of her. Estrella couldn’t even be bothered to get angry.

Estrella’s calmness sent Jason into a panic. Her yelling and screaming meant that at least then she felt something for him. But her indifference now? That was something Jason couldn’t handle.

His hand gently stroked her cheek, thumb brushing back and forth, as he said, “Are you still mad about what happened back then?”

Estrella remained silent, staring at him.

Jason explained, “Holly and I never got together, and those photos were just

sensationalism. The Ledford family was worried about Korey’s career and came to me. Out of old ties to Korey, I stayed silent then.”

“As for our last quarrel, it’s my fault. I didn’t explain things to you in time. I was stubborn and petulant. I acted out of frustration, and I shouldn’t have pushed you or slapped you.” Then he added, “Estrella, I overthought, I misunderstood you. I apologize. You can punish me however you want, but please don’t ignore me.”

Jason grabbed Estrella’s hand, asking her to hit back, but Estrella didn’t hit him. “Jason, it’s been so many years, I neither remember nor wish to
