Chapter 6
Mom, relax, I got this.”
She had initially brushed off the fortune-tellers words, but as they piled on with
the same. predictions, Estrella couldn't help but give it some serious thought.
Regardless of what the future held with Jason, she had to get on the baby-
making train pronto.
After dinner and reassuring her parents she was on the case, Estrella hit the
road, leaving the sprawling Dorvold mansion behind.
Back at Sandalwood Oasis, the moment she set foot inside, Marie bounded up
with the
news, “Ms. Estrella, Mr. Jason's returned.”
Her hand paused mid-air as she was hanging up her bag. Estrella was taken
aback.
He just couldn't stay away after all. It looked like Landon had put the squeeze on
him.
Estrella paused for a moment before Marie, bubbling with excitement, said, “I just
went upstairs to change the linens. Saw Mr. Jason taking clothes to the
bathroom. Looks like he’s not leaving tonight.”
When her husband came home, even the servants were thrilled for her, as if she
were a queen finally graced by the king's favor. Estrella couldn't help but mock
herself internally.
After slipping into her slippers, Estrella said with a smile, “Alright, I'll go up and
have a
look.”
She pushed open the bedroom door to find Jason just coming out of the
bathroom. Estrella couldn't help but laugh, “You're back. Wait for me, I'm going to
take a shower.”
Jason looked disgusted, “Estrella, can’t you think of anything else?”
Estrella chuckled, “What's so weird about taking a shower when I get home? And
anyway, if I don't have that kind of urge upon seeing you, you'd be the one
crying.”
Jason fell silent.
Forty-some minutes later, Estrella emerged from the shower refreshed and saw
Jason lounging on the bed with a book, his gold-rimmed glasses perched on his
nose.
Estrella, feeling fresh and invigorated, approached him, hitching up the leg of her
pants and straddling Jason's lap.
As he looked up, Estrella, ignoring his gaze, lightly unknotted the belt of his robe
with a flick of her finger.
With his book in hand, Jason looked at Estrella and commanded without
expression, “Get
off.”
Estrella stopped undressing him and asked, “Jason, are you not up for it? If that's
the case, I can go with you to the doctor.”
Jason shot her a cold glance, and she quickly changed the subject, “Don’t want
to talk about that, huh? Okay, okay, then let's discuss something else, something
more serious.”
Jason put down his book and spoke with rare gentleness, “Have you made up
your mind about the divorce?”
Estrella retorted, “Can't you think of something positive?” With that, she scooted
closer.
Jason looked down and saw Estrella wrapping her arms around his neck, “What
about the legal counsel for Nelson International? Could we..."
She was interrupted as Jason cut her off, “Don’t even think about it.”

“Come on!” Estrella protested. “What's the difference between other firms and
Justice Guardians LLP? Is there any condition we can discuss?”
Jason eyed her, a smirk forming on his lips, “Negotiate? With an unwritten rule?
Estrella, I wouldn't take you on even if you paid me, let alone me paying you.”
Estrella was stunning, the kind that haunted your dreams, but he saw right
through her little schemes the moment she walked in.
Jason's aloofness was palpable as Estrella played with his earlobe, “How about I
pay the fee and you give me a baby?”
Jason looked up, “So your son can inherit my fortune? Keep dreaming.”
Two years into their marriage, Estrella only seemed interested in having children
whenever she saw him, which made Jason feel like nothing more than a means
to an end.
Estrella laughed, “How do you know it would be a son? What if it's a daughter?
How about I write you a promise that my son won't inherit your estate?”
That only made Jason less inclined. His expression darkened as he ordered
again, “Get off.”
Estrella, hands still on his shoulders, looked into his icy gaze. His features were
exceptionally handsome, his serious demeanor almost begging to be conquered.
Instead of getting off, she cupped his face in her hands and leaned in to kiss him.
Jason held her waist, attempting to push her away, but Estrella’s soft tongue
enticed him, and he tightened his grip on her waist. He didn't have the heart to
push her away after all.
The scent of their closeness filled the room, the atmosphere thick with desire.
Her nightgown slipped from her shoulders, revealing Estrellas soft skin and
curves. She drew ever closer to Jason.
Work, rumors, none of it mattered as much as the prospect of having a child.
As his right hand caressed her back, Jason's phone on the nightstand suddenly
vibrated. The sound snapped Jason back to reality. He released Estrella and
reached for his phone. Hearing Drew's voice on the other end, Jason said, “You
go pick them up. I'm on my way.”
Jason hung up and was about to leave when Estrella reached out and grabbed
his arm. “Jason, this is downright low!”
Who would leave in the middle of sex? That was just despicable.
Shrugging off her hand, Jason said, “You thought it was serious?”
Actually, if Drew hadn't called just in time, he might have lost control that night.
Had Estrella had her way, it would be a disaster.

Chapter 6
After Jason left, Estrella was fuming. She called Jesse and they headed to the
bar.
Hearing that her opportunity had slipped away, Jesse questioned with a hint of
suspicion, “Jason didn't take the bait? Is he really impotent?”
Estrella mused, “Most likely, he’s just trying to spite me.”
Jesse scoffed, “He gets to have an orgasm. If you two ever split, he wouldn't
even have to take care of the kid. What's he thinking?”

Clunk! With a deft but casual flick of her wrist, Estrella set her empty glass down
on the table upside down. As she pushed her chair back to leave, a sudden
blockade of giggling girls cornered her.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Estrella,” one of them teased with a sly grin.
“Looking a little worse for wear tonight, aren’t you?” another chimed in, with a
mock concern that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Drowning your sorrows in
booze?"
