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

Chapter 268

As Estrella’s voice trailed off, Jason’s expression was a picture of aggrievement. He had brought her all the way back, and now she was talking about leaving?

Filled with unspoken grievances, Jason jammed his hands into his pockets and turned away, silent.

Estrella deliberately teased, “You’ve hung around my doorstep plenty of times without an invite in. Guess it’d be awkward for me to lounge at your place now, huh?”

At that, Jason sneered and said, “My place, your place-you sure like to draw the line, don’t you?” Sandalwood Oasis was clearly their home after they got married.

Estrella shot back with a playful jab, “Gotta make something clear, right?”

Her words had barely settled when Marie suddenly appeared, surprised to see Estrella in the yard but quickly wore a beaming smile, “Ms. Estrella’s back! I thought I saw car lights and heard your voice. Goodness, you really are back.”

Before Estrella could respond, Marie was pulling her into the house, “It’s chilly out here, Ms. Estrella. Come inside right away.”

Jason watched as Marie ushered Estrella into the house, then followed them in, his own demeanor relaxing now that Marie was there.

“Ms. Estrella, are you hungry? I’ll whip up your favorite sweet soup,” Marie offered, her face radiating joy, even more delighted than Jason.

Estrella gently held her back, “Marie, we just ate outside. Don’t go to any trouble.”

Marie insisted, “Well, if there’s anything you fancy eating or drinking, you just let me know.” Her delight at seeing Estrella was like welcoming her own daughter-in-law home.

Marie quickly added, “Oh, and Ms. Estrella, we’ve kept your and Mr. Jason’s room tidy every day. In all these years, Mr. Jason’s been home every night except when traveling. Your clothes and personal items are still right where you left them. And every season, Mr. Jason has had the latest fashions delivered from the department store, just in case you came back with nothing to wear.”

Estrella couldn’t help but smile at Marie’s cleverness. Marie was compensating for Jason’s lack of words with her own enthusiastic explanations.

Turning to Jason, Estrella quipped, “Jason, looks like you owe Marie a raise.”
