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

Chapter 106
Estrella’spun around, a playful smirk dancing on her lips. “I'm here to shop with
your mom, Jason. What's it to you?"
Jason leaned in, his face inches from hers, but Estrella was quick to pinch his
jaw. “Jason,” she chided, her tone teasing yet firm, “you're getting shameless by
the minute.”
Without another word, she bit down hard on his jawline, then pressed a button in
the car, pushed his face away, and strutted out with an air of triumph.
As she stepped onto the sidewalk, Kristin approached, her face lit up with a
welcoming
smile.
Jason, meanwhile, rolled down the window and rubbed his face, watching
Estrella’s retreating figure. “We'll settle the score for that bite later tonight,” he
mumbled to himself.
Seeing this, Kristin looked at him with a serious expression and said, “Son, you
better start raking in the dough to support Estrella and my future grandchild.”
Estrella glanced back to see Jason still nursing his cheek and let out a chuckle.
“Goodbye, Jason. Don't bother seeing me off.”
After exchanging goodbyes, Kristin linked arms with Estrella, her face blooming
like spring flowers. “Estrella, I saw some adorable cribs and baby clothes last
time I was out. I'll take you to check them out.”
Estrella couldn't help but lose her smile. So that was why Kristin insisted on
shopping
today.
“Kristin, it's too early for that,” Estrella protested gently.
“Not at all,” Kristin insisted with a knowing smile. “Time flies, and babies come
quickly. Once you start, there's no stopping. I'll be holding my grandchild in no
time.”
As they entered the department store, Jason drove back to the office, his heart
lighter than usual after the playful exchange.
At the office, Drew caught sight of Jason's unusually bright demeanor, and the
tell-tale bite mark on his face. He had worked with Jason for years and had never
seen him this
chipper.
Inside the department store, Estrella could do nothing as Kristin, acting as if she
was already a grandmother, filled their cart with baby essentials and clothes.
Estrella felt overwhelmed and under a lot of pressure.
After Kristin finished her shopping spree, she left the address for Sandalwood
Oasis, instructing the store to deliver everything there Then, she announced to
Estrella that they were going to have a delicious meal. However, just as they
stepped out, they ran into Korey, surrounded by a group of people. As the newly
appointed leader, he was

conducting fieldwork in the area.
He had just finished his rounds for the day when he spotted Estrella and Kristin
walking out of the maternity store. The sight of them leaving the store tugged at
Korey's heartstrings unexpectedly.
Approaching them with a warm smile, he greeted, “Ms. Kristin, Estrella.”
Korey had finished his inspections, so Blake dismissed the reporters and staff,
allowing everyone to head home early for the weekend. Once they had said
goodbye to Korey, they left him to catch up with his acquaintances.
After Korey finished his own engagements, he glanced at his watch and said to
Kristin and Estrella, “It's dinner time. Allow me to treat you both. Besides, I've
been meaning to pay a visit, Ms. Kristin.”
Estrella was about to decline the polite invitation when Kristin, with a cheerful
grin, accepted. “It must be fate that we ran into each other today, so let's catch
up, Korey.”
Kristin knew about Korey’s previous overtures to the Dorvold family-it was
common knowledge among their circle. By accepting his invitation, Kristin hoped
to show him how close Jason and Estrella were and that they were soon to be
parents, dispelling any lingering intentions Korey might have.
Kristin was keenly aware of the fragility of Estrella and Jason's relationship. “The
more people lack something, the more they boast about it,” goes the saying, and
Kristin was a prime example of this. And Kristin knew about the last time Korey
asked Estrella to handle the issue of paying the wages and project funds to the
migrant workers. She just didn’t bring it up.
With the invitation accepted, Estrella could only sigh and follow along.
Given Korey's status, Blake chose a private restaurant with an elegant ambiance,
frequented by those of Korey’s standing.
In the private dining room, as the waiter served alcohol, Korey considerately
requeste “Please bring this lady some milk, thank you.”
Estrella had just exited the maternity store, so Korey’s gesture seemed
particularly thoughtful. Hearing this, Estrella knew there must be a
misunderstanding-he probably thought she was already expecting.
Whether Korey was mistaken didn’t matter so much as the awkwardness Estrella
felt; Kristin was acting as if she were pregnant, and how would she explain if it
turned out she
wasn't?
Kristin noticed Korey’s misunderstanding but said nothing to correct it, simply
commenting, “You're as thoughtful and attentive as ever, Korey.”
When praising Korey, Kristin couldn't help but think, if her son could have half of

attentiveness and patience, she might have already had a grandchild by now.
Korey smiled, then turned to Estrella. “I saw you coming out of the maternity
store. Are you-" He stopped himself, remembering her recent success in a high-
profile legal case.
Before Estrella could clarify, Kristin jumped in, “Yes. Estrella and I have been at
the maternity store all afternoon, picking out some things for the new baby.”
Kristin played along with Korey's assumption, yet pointedly avoided correcting
him.
Caught in the moment, Estrella met Korey's gaze and said honestly, “We're
preparing for pregnancy.”
Kristin added, “She might well be expecting already, just without the telltale
signs.”
Korey chuckled helplessly. It seemed that Kristin still regarded him as her son's
love rival.

“Estrella, it's getting chilly out. Make sure to have some soup to warm up,” Korey
suggested with a considerate tone.
“Try this dish, it's really flavorful. I think you'll like it,” he said, passing a portion
onto her plate.
“And this one should suit your taste as well,” he added, selecting another choice

Korey responded with a smile, “Ms. Kristin, if you know someone suitable, feel f
me up.”
Kristin, intrigued, asked, “What kind of person are you interested in, Korey?"
Setting down his utensils, Korey turned his gaze from Estrella back to Kristin, his
sn unwavering. “Someone like Estrella would be perfect,” he said, his eyes
lingering on Estrella for a moment longer before they met Kristin's again.
