Chapter 157
Jason's scowl deepened as Estrella greeted him, but since she'd taken the
initiative, he couldn't very well ignore her without seeming petty. So, with
measured nonchalance, he rose to his feet to play the “long time no see” game.
When he took Estrella’s hand, his grip was firm, as if to say, “We're going to have
a talk about why you're at Velvet Voices KTV once we get home.”
Serene, watching Grayson and Jason put on an act with Estrella, forced a smile
and gave up her seat next to Jason. “Estrella, why don’t you come sit over here?”
Someone called out to Estrella, and with a laugh, she said to Jason, “Have fun,
Mr. Jason. I'm going to take a seat over there.” After pulling her hand away from
Jason's, Estrella went to join Dominic and the others.
Jason watched Estrella walk away, his gaze lingering on her until he slowly
clenched his suspended hand into a fist and let it fall to his side.
With Estrella’s arrival, the atmosphere became even livelier. Dominic and a few
other guys from the law department circled around her, discussing their current
case studies.
After a while, Dominic turned to Estrella, “You're so accomplished, Estrella. I bet
you're still single, right? Back in the day, you were the queen of our department-
my queen, too. Remember, I had a few high school buddies who had crushes on
you? They didn’t make it, to Ravenwood College but asked me to set them up
with you, and to take
and to take you out for dinner. I never agreed. I figured, if I hadn't managed to
charm you myself, why would I help them out?”
“Dominic, you sly dog! But seriously, Estrella, you had such a unique approach to
cases that even Professor Lowe praised you in class.
“Are you still single, Estrella? Do any of us stand a chance? If you're unattached,
we can't let our law department's treasure slip away to someone else.”
Amid the playful banter laced with truth, Serene glanced at Jason. His eyes
seemed glu to Estrella, unable to look away, and his gaze was so intense it was
as if he wanted to s the men alive. What they didn’t know was that their queen
was already his wife.
Addressing the group's inquiries, Estrella chuckled, “If you liked me so much,
why didn’t you tell me back then? You missed your chance.”
“Estrella, are you single now, or do you have a boyfriend?”
Estrella quipped, “No boyfriend yet, but I did get a girlfriend. You know, you guys
had chance to set me straight back in school.”
your
The guys were flabbergasted, then resignedly said, “So it's true, the pretty and
talented girls really only like other girls. We missed our shot.”

Jason's face twisted in distaste at Estrella's nonsense.
After joking around with everyone for a bit, Estrella stepped outside to answer a
phone call from her mother.
“I'm here with Bryce and Jesse.”
“Don’t worry, Jason's here too. I'll be back soon.”
“Yeah, I know.”
Estrella finished her call in the small garden at the back and was about to return
to the private room when Jason appeared, having followed her outside.
Seeing him, Estrella smiled, “Mr. Jason, coming out for some fresh air?”
Jason, with a note of scorn, replied, “Addicted to the act?”
Estrella countered, “Just following your old style.”
In the past, he never acknowledged their relationship wherever they went. Over
time, Estrella got used to it. It was convenient and saved a lot of explanations.
With her ever-present smile, Jason felt a warmth in his heart and pulled her
close. Resting his chin on her shoulder, he explained, “Grayson dragged me out
here, so I just came to hang out for a bit.”
After his explanation, he looked at Estrella and asked, “What brought you here?”
Estrella wrapped her arms around his waist, “I came to catch you cheating, but
you're not making it easy.”
Jason's face darkened before he asked, “Bryce called you over, didn’t he?” He
had sensed someone skulking behind him as he entered the KTV. Now it was
clear that the girls who had joined the room earlier were likely Bryce's doing, an
attempt to trap him and catch him in the act. To get him to divorce, Bryce really
went to great lengths. What a dutify
cousin.
Estrella looked up, “How do you know it wasn’t your mom who called me?”
Jason chuckled, “Do you think my mom can easily get ahold of my whereabouts
and leverage?”
Kristin wasn't that capable. The complaints she made to Estrella in the past were
only what he wanted Estrella to see. Otherwise, they could dig three feet into the
ground and
still not find him.
Estrella laughed along with him, realizing he was just trying to rile her up before.
Her hands still around Jason's waist, and she gave him a sharp pinch,
Jason inhaled sharply, then, pinning Estrella’s chin, he leaned down to kiss her
lips. It was only when she could barely breathe that Estrella pushed him away,
wiping her mouth, “Mr.

Jason, that was shameless.”
With each mention of “Mr. Jason,” Jason rolled his eyes but pulled her close
again.
As Estrella tried to push him away with her hands on his chest, Jason murmured,
“Just let me hold you.”
The sight of those men crowding around her in the private room, calling her the
queen of the law department had filled him with jealousy.
But it was true, Estrella had been popular at school, and the boys’ adoration for
her was no less intense than the girls’ adoration for him.

The thought of how Estrella was still the life of the party, and so darn lovable
made Jason pull her in for an even tighter hug.i
Estrella chuckled as she playfully protested, “I'm gonna cough up dinner at this
rate.”
With that, she wriggled into Jason's coat, seeking warmth. “It's freezing out here.’
Feeling her shiver, Jason led her inside.
As they were about to step into the private room, Estrella raised her hand to his
face, “You sure you want to go in like this?”
Jason's response came with a frosty edge, “What, you think I'm not good enough
for you? Or maybe I'm interfering with your man-hunting?”
