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

Chapter 278

As Jason spoke, Estrella’s temper dissipated like steam from a piping hot pot roast. Her hands fell from his waist, and with a twinge of surrender, she muttered, “Fine, you have

your way.”

Estrella braced herself for the inevitable, and Jason pinned her beneath him with a smirk, “Estrella, after this, you won’t be able to leave the bed tomorrow.”

Unfazed, Estrella retorted, “And you think you’ll be hopping out of bed? As if you’re getting

the better end of this deal.”

Jason couldn’t help but laugh at her spirit, sealing her protest with a kiss that spoke

volumes.

Later, much to her own chagrin, Estrella found herself pleading for mercy. After all these years of knowing Jason, it was in these moments of weakness that she’d wave the white flag.

But Jason wasn’t satisfied. He demanded a promise of reconciliation, which Estrella begrudgingly gave, though he doubted her sincerity, accusing her of pulling his leg. Estrella was livid, cursing under her breath. It wasn’t until Isaac’s phone call came through that Jason eased up, reluctantly taking her home.

Upon their return to the Dorvold residence, Autumn remarked, “You’re as elusive as your father ever was, always out and about.”

“Mom.” Estrella scooped up Isaac, who had come running, and after planting a kiss on his cheek, she turned to Autumn, “It’s not as dramatic as you’re making it out to be.”

At that moment, Estrella wouldn’t dare admit to spending the previous night at Jason’s, followed by a day in his bed. Autumn would have her hide for that.

“Daddy.” Isaac clung to Estrella before Jason took Isaac into his arms, giving Estrella the chance to head upstairs for a change of clothes.

Climbing the stairs, her legs nearly gave out, and Jason, pale as a ghost, rushed over with Isaac still in his arms. Estrella insisted she was fine and continued her ascent.
