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

Chapter 163
Lately, Estrella couldn't stand the smell of smoke and booze, so Jason had
become extra vigilant about it. He used to sneak the occasional cigarette, but
now he had quit cold turkey.
Estrella looked up at him and said, “I know, you better go shower and try to hit
the hay early.”
Jason planted a kiss on her lips, teasing, “Can't wait, huh?”
“Duh, I've been waiting up for you half the night,” Estrella replied, playfully
pinching Jason's
butt.
Jason, at a loss for words, gave her a lingering kiss before grabbing his clothes
and heading to the bathroom.
After a while, freshly showered, he came out and sat down beside Estrella. As he
pulled her into his arms, Estrella turned to him and mentioned, “I got the invitation
to the
school’s anniversary celebration this afternoon.”
“We'll go together,” Jason said, kissing her cheek.
Since the gathering at the club, whispers of Jason and Estrella’s marriage had
started circulating around the school on a small scale. But many were skeptical,
saying that Jason had been so smitten with Holly in the past that it was
impossible for him to tie the knot so quickly. They argued that a young guy like
Jason wouldn't rush into marriage. Some even suggested that because Jason
was the CEOof Nelson International, there would have been a grand wedding,
and the lack of any such news meant that perhaps Estrella was spreading false
rumors to corner Jason into submission. They recalled how Estrella used to visit
Jason at Ravenwood College even before she enrolled, indicating a one-sided
affection from her.
With all this gossip, the truth about Jason and Estrella’s marriage became even
more obscured. The doubters were mostly alumni who had been close to Holly or
had a soft spot for her. They believed that even though Holly had passed away,
Jason hadn't move on and still held a torch for her.
Jason had heard these rumors through Drew, which was why he insisted on
attending the celebration with Estrella.
Resting in his embrace, Estrella gave him an understanding look before leaning
back into his arms.
After over two years of marriage, these moments of closeness were rare. It had
been a long time since she had simply lain in Jason's arms like this.
As Jason playfully pinched her belly, Estrella rested her hands on his wrists and
asked in a steady tone, “I took on a divorce case today. The husband and wife
were brought together

by their parents’ arrangement, but the husband's first love has returned. Now,
with their daughter off to college, he’s asked for a divorce.”
“My client still loves her husband and wants to salvage their marriage,” she
continued. “Jason, as a man, give me your take. Is there any chance for this
marriage to be saved? Should she even bother trying?”
Jason idly kneaded Estrella’s sides as he mused, “After all these years, if he's
still not over his first love, it's going to be tough for the wife, unless something
drastic changes his mindset. Otherwise, there's hardly anything that could be
done for the wife to save their marriage.”
Then he looked down at Estrella and remarked, “They're at the point of suing for
divorce. Why aren't you advising your client to just end it? As long as she gets a
fair share of the assets, that should be enough. Isn't that usually your approach?”
“She can’t bear to let go,” Estrella said. “So you think it's not worth holding onto
this marriage, right?”
“Mm-hmm,” Jason replied nonchalantly.
After responding, Jason suddenly felt as if he'd been led into a trap. He studied
her for a moment before asking, “What are your client's name? What's her
husband's name?”
“Megan and her husband's name is Jackson. You've probably interacted with him
before.”
“I remember him. Probably worked with him.”
When Estrella provided real names and details, Jason breathed a sigh of relief.
For a moment, he had wondered if she was fishing for information.
Estrella chuckled at Jason's obvious sense of relief. She had only asked a casual
question, after all.
Still, the case did bear a striking resemblance to their own situation, even if she
and Jason hadn't reached such a critical juncture.
Estrella’s smug glance didn’t go unnoticed by Jason, who tightened his embrace
and kissed her ear, her most sensitive spot. As she melted into his touch, Estrella
returned h kiss with tender passion.
Saturday arrived, and Ravenwood College was abuzz with excitement for its
anniversary. Alumni who had the time all made their way back to their alma mater
for the occasion.
The celebration kicked off in the morning, and Jason and Estrella were up and
about by seven, ready to head to their old stomping grounds. Despite having
attended similar events in the past, this was the first time they would be attending
together as a couple.
“Mr. Jason.”
