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
