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

Chapter 134
Jason shoved his hands deep into his jeans pockets, gazing down at her before
he uttered, “Who said I'm waiting until next year to get a divorce?”
Oh, the nerve! Kristin chuckled in disbelief, “Do you really need to tell me that
yourself? And don’t pretend, Jason. Can you honestly say you never mentioned
kicking poor Estrella to the curb when the time comes? You've really grown some
backbone! Now you're bold enough to do the deed but not to own it, huh?”
The things Jason had spat out during his fights with Estrella were never directly
relayed to Kristin, but the household staff were all too eager to report every detail
they overheard.
Noticing Jason's mood darken, Kristin hastened to clear any misunderstanding
on Estrella’s behalf, “With so many eyes and ears at home, Estrella didn’t need to
breathe a word of it to me.”
Jason remained silent. He knew Estrella was too proud to complain to his mother
about the harsh words he'd thrown at her. All she wanted was a child, nothing
more.
Seeing his silence, Kristin pushed further with a triumphant air, “Lost for words
now, are we?"
Her persistence seemed to weigh on Jason. His eyes narrowed as he said,
“Mom, aren't you worried that Estrella only wants a child? That she might take
the kid and demand a divorce?”
Jason's blunt question left Kristin speechless. It wasn't that she hadn't
considered the possibility, but having it thrown in her face like this made her
realize that he wasn't entirely without reason. It seemed his reluctance to get
Estrella pregnant was his way of clinging to their marriage out of fear she would
leave him once she had the baby.
After staring at Jason for a while, Kristin suggested, “Then you should treat
Estrella better, show her some warmth. She's always so generous with her
smiles around you and never holding a grudge.”
Jason snorted, hands still in his pockets, “She’s always generous with her smiles
to everyone.”
Kristin had no words. Just moments ago, Kristin was full of confidence, but now
she suddenly felt the conversation was going nowhere.
Usually, she was quick-witted, especially when schooling Jason. Why did he
manage to leave her at a loss for words?.
Furrowing her brows in concern, Kristin truly worried about the possibility of a
future divorce for the couple.
They had known each other for so many years. Why couldn't they just get along?

After a thoughtful silence, Kristin proposed, “Even so, you can’t keep giving
Estrella the cold shoulder. She's not just anyone. She's your wife.”
Pausing, a sudden idea seemed to strike her, and her eyes widened, “Why don't
you have Estrella sign a prenup, promising she won't ask for a divorce after
having a child?”
Jason looked down at Kristin but said nothing.
Seeing him just staring, she continued with a half-hearted smile, “I guess that
wouldn't be right either, huh? It does seem pretty distrustful, making it seem like
there's no trust between you two.”
She had never contemplated the thought of Jason and Estrella actually getting
divorced. She hoped that when things cooled down, she'd see her son give
Estrella the grand wedding she deserved, making up for the simple marriage
certificate ceremony they had
before.
After her spiel, Jason gave her a smile, “Mom, you usually don’t seem all that
bright, but today, your IQ is through the roof. Not a bad idea.”
It wasn't like he hadn't had Estrella sign agreements before. What difference
would another make?
Kristin, relieved by his praise, clutched her chest and exhaled, “So the idea holds
water, huh! If it’s solid, then you and Estrella better sign it quickly! Get that
paperwork done and start working on having kids.”
She added as an afterthought, “But don't tell Estrella this was my idea.” She
couldn't afford to upset Estrella. If anyone was to take the blame, it would be her
son.
Jason rolled his eyes skyward at Kristin's anxious demeanor. Like mother, like
son — Bryce was no different, selling out their own kin cleaner than anyone else.
and
Kristin patted his arm. “Alright, let's go inside for some cake.”
They entered the house to find Estrella and Bryce playfully wrestling, their faces
smeared with frosting. Jason felt a complicated pang in his chest. His wife
seemed to get along with everyone in the Nelson family except him.
As the partygoers laughed and indulged in cake, Kristin took the opportunity to
follow Estrella out to the yard under the pretext of dodging the children’s frosting-
smearing
antics.
Estrella called out when she saw Kristin emerge.
Kristin wiped her face, remarking, “You missed a spot.”
Then, changing the subject, she ventured, “Estrella, you wouldn't think of
divorcing Jason after having a child, would you?”
Without needing to ask, Estrella knew Kristin had just come from talking to

course, Jason had deflected the issue onto her. After a long look at Kristin,
Estrella replied with a laugh, “Whatever happens between us is always up to
him.”
She did have that intention, but she couldn't possibly admit it! It was one thing to
confront Jason but entirely another to confess to Kristin.
Kristin seemed satisfied. “As long as you don’t have that idea, that's good. You
know, it's not easy for two people to come together in this big world, especially
after knowing each other for so many years.”
“Sure,” Estrella agreed. She thought it was time for a change after so many
years.
Their conversation in the yard continued as the birthday party came to a close.
Guests bid farewell to the hosts, Keith and Amber, and left for their homes.
Jason and Estrella said their goodbyes to the old couple, who made them
promise to work on their relationship and to “complete their mission’ soon. They
nodded and agreed, but as soon as they left the house, they parted ways, one
turning left, the other right.
Jason's hands rested casually on the steering wheel as he followed Estrella’s car.
The thought of the preemptive strike she had launched with his mother soured
his mood. It seemed she truly had the idea in her head — to get a divorce.
Jason's mood was as dark as a brewing storm, rolling in from the ocean and
threatening to sweep everything in its path.
After a drive that lasted a touch over twenty minutes, their vehicles pulled up to
Sandalwood Oasis. Estrella stepped out first, followed shortly by Jason. They
entered the house one after the other. Marie, ever the cheerful soul, greeted
them with a beaming smile, “Mr. Jason, Ms. Estrella, you're back! I bet the old
manor was all hustle and bustle
tonight!”
“Quite lively,” Estrella replied.
Jason remained silent.

Jason watched her back, his mind teetering on the edge of speech, yet each
time, he found himself reeling the words back in, unspoken.

She didn’t reach for her phone or seek him out. Instead, she simply dried her hair
and slipped into bed, surrendering to sleep.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the dead of night, a series of thunderous roars ripped through the silence,
jolting almost the entire city awake. Estrella was no exception, startled from her
slumber.
