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

Chapter 149
Jason glanced down at her, with a hint of a question in his eyes.
Estrella, on the verge of saying something, finally just smiled reassuringly, “It'll
happen
when it's meant to be.”
With a noncommittal grunt, Jason bent down and kissed her cheek. As he moved
to kiss her lips, Estrella pushed him away, “You reek of booze. Go shower first,
and I'll make you
some tea.”
“Damn, can't even get a kiss now,” Jason grumbled playfully, pinching her cheek
before taking the clothes she had pressed into his arms and heading to the
bathroom.
Watching Jason's retreating figure, Estrella couldn't help but breathe a sigh of
relief.
Soon after, when Jason emerged from the bathroom, Estrella had brewed the tea
and even prepared a fruit platter for him, playing the part of the doting wife for a
change.
Jason wrapped his arms around her. As he was about to kiss her, Estrella
blocked him, “Eat something first to line your stomach.”
Jason eyed her suspiciously. Estrella picked up a slice of fruit with a smirk, “If you
don't fill up, I doubt you'll have the stamina later.”
Jason was momentarily speechless-wasn't she always the one begging for
mercy?
Estrella fed him fruit, and after a few bites, Jason's kisses became more urgent,
though not as fierce, betraying the weight on his mind. With her arms around his
neck, Estrella whispered, “Still not over it? Should I go out and pick up a kid for
us right now?”
That made Jason laugh, “Would any kid be the same as one you'd give birth to?”
With that, he playfully tumbled her onto the bed.
Estrella braced herself against his shoulders, “Easy tiger, remember my
stomach.”
Jason laughed again, “I can't reach that far.”
Estrella burst into laughter, “Jason, you're even naughtier than I am!
Their fingers interlocked. Then, Jason leaned down to kiss her deeply. He gotta
work hard to get Estrella pregnant.
After their lovemaking, Estrella was left exhausted on the bed, and Jason easily
pulled her into his arms. Half-awake, she muttered into his neck, “We'll have a
child someday eventually, just be good to me.”
Jason nuzzled her gently, affirming with a soft hm,’ though it wasn’t clear exactly
what he was agreeing to.
Over the weekend, Estrella made a trip to the office and took some time to rest at
home.

Chapter 149
Come Monday, Lexi's trial resumed.
Entering the courtroom alongside Zoey, Estrella saw Nick standing cocky and
smug, his hands in his pockets as if the case was already won. His arrogance
inflamed Zoey's eyes to red, while Jeffery and Haley in the audience regretted
ever misjudging such a man and agreeing to the marriage.
As both parties returned to their seats, the judge and jury arrived, and the judge
announced the continuation of the trial, turning to Estrella to ask, “Does the
plaintiff have any new evidence relating to the charges of intentional harm and
murder?”
Rising confidently, Estrella replied, “Your Honor, regarding the case of Mr. Lexi's
fall and her injuries, we have new evidence and insist on charging the defendant,
Mr. Nick, with
intentional harm and murder.”
“Let's review some images and videos of the defendant to establish his motive
for the alleged murder,” Estrella continued, picking up a remote and casting
images of Nick and Piper together onto the projection screen.
“As you can see, the defendant Nick met the lady in the photos, Piper, at an
upscale gym in town this April. Piper, 34, is a divorced entrepreneur with two
successful clothing businesses, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores, and is
quite well-known.”
“Piper is financially stable. In the seven months since meeting Nick, she has
transferred him a total of $260,000, not counting cash, and even bought him a
luxury Mercedes SUV.”
As Estrella’s investigation turned to Piper, Nick's face paled, his neck veins
bulging. He stood up abruptly, pointing at Estrella, “What the hell kind of evidence
is this? Piper and I are just friends. This is an invasion of privacy!”
“Calm down, will you?" Estrella retorted coolly.
The judge, unimpressed by Nick's outburst and profanity in court, brought down
his gavel, “Defendant, please control your emotions. And the plaintiff's attorney,
please continue with the evidence pertinent to this case.”
After the judge’s prompt, Nick sat down, seething but silent.
Estrella resumed with poise, “Your Honor, this is just the beginning of the
evidence chain.”
“Proceed with your evidence,” the judge instructed.
With a glance at Nick, Estrella continued the presentation, “The defendant claims
he and Ms. Piper are merely friends, yet we have found several instances of
them checking into hotels together over these seven months.”

hotel room rendezvous.”
When Estrella reached this point, Lexi’s mother had already burst into tears in
the audience seats, while the father trembled with anger.
This jerk had an affair. He could have simply filed for divorce if he wanted out of
the marriage, but why did he have to kill their daughter? That was a human life.
As Estrella listed the preliminary evidence, the spectators in the gallery were
seething with anger, each of them hurling insults at Nick, calling him an asshole,
convinced that Lexi must have been pushed by him.
