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

Chapter 249

Jason sat there, calm as a summer breeze, while Estrella remained frozen in her gaze upon him. When their eyes met, Jason cracked a grin and joked, “Think you can get full by staring at me?”

After he spoke, Estrella picked up her utensils and continued her meal.

Jason refrained from any mischief, and Estrella stayed quiet as well. She had no desire to bicker over trivial matters every time they met.

Post-lunch, Jason drove Estrella back to the law firm. This time around, he didn’t tease her or try to take advantage of her as he had done before. He could tell Estrella was in a sour mood today. He owed her from the past, and he knew he had to start making amends.

Pulling up to the law firm, Estrella offered a casual thanks before heading inside. Come afternoon, after organizing the morning’s trial documents, she pondered over a breakthrough for the ChemiSphere case.

By 5:30 PM, as the firm’s staff began to trickle out, Estrella clocked out too. Just as she stepped outside, she noticed Jason’s sleek new Maybach parked below.

Hands buried in her coat pockets, she sighed inwardly, What was Jason up to now? Wasn’t she clear enough the other day? Why can’t he take a hint? Why was he here again? As the car window slid down, Jason, ever the picture of composure, simply stated, “Get

“Ms. Estrella, go relax a bit with your

beau.”

Colleagues passed by, teasing, and Estrella’s head throbbed. Logan appeared, patting Estrella’s shoulder, “What are you waiting for, Estrella? Don’t tell me you’re heading back up for overtime. You’ve earned an early day. Go get some rest.” Logan didn’t mention the tension between her and Jason, preferring to play matchmaker.

With more people buzzing around and Logan watching, Estrella reluctantly entered the
