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

Chapter 253

Estrella looked at Jason and just as she was about to speak, the phone in her pocket started to ring. It was Autumn calling.

“Estrella, you’re not back yet? Isaac insists on waiting up for you. He refuses to go to bed,” Autumn’s voice came through the phone.

“Mom, I’m already at the doorstep.” She hung up, then glanced at Jason with a half-smile. “You are in my way.” With Autumn’s call, Estrella neatly sidestepped Jason’s earlier question.

Isaac was waiting at home, and Jason knew it wasn’t his place to hold Estrella back. He gently brushed her cheek with his hand. “How about Saturday? We could take Isaac out for lunch.”

Estrella’s response was noncommittal. “I don’t think that’ll work.” Her tone left little room for misinterpretation.

“So, we’ll play it by ear this weekend, Jason suggested.

After a brief chat, Jason moved his car, allowing Estrella to pull her white BMW into the driveway.

A moment later, as Estrella entered the house, saac ran barefoot towards her and refused

to leave her side, clinging to her tightly and refusing to let go.

Autumn watched helplessly. “Isaac’s been off these past few days, not talking much or eating well. I don’t know what to do with him.”

Estrella hugged Isaac tight. “I’ll take him to the doctor tomorrow.” Isaac nestled into her embrace, unusually quiet and clingy.

The next morning, Dr. Lincoln, a middle-aged pediatric psychologist, told them, “The child still lacks a sense of security due to the absence of both parents’ companionship, so this state often occurs. The ideal would be for him to receive ample love from both a mother and a father. It would do wonders for his development.”

His implication was clear: Estrella should consider creating a complete home for Isaac.

“Thanks, Dr. Lincoln. We’ll do our best,” Estrella replied with gratitude, masking her

concern.

Lincoln offered a gentle reminder, “Ms. Estrella, you are so young. You should give yourself a chance at happiness too. You
