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

Chapter 68
Jason's face was a picture of exasperation. Gripping Estrella’s wrists with both
hands, he remarked with a smirk, “Trying to mooch off me again, huh? Having a
bit too much fun at my expense?”
Estrella wriggled her right hand free and playfully smacked his shoulder. “Can't
there be at little trust between us?”
Jason wrapped his right arm around her waist, pulling her close. “Looks like
someone’s more spirited in the morning.” He whispered teasingly into Estrella’s
ear,
which was enough to make her face turn a shade of pink.
As Jason held her by the waist, Estrella was about to retort when suddenly, the
bedroom door burst open. “Estrella, you're still not up? Taking the day off work
today?” They both turned sharply, to find Kristin bustling in.
At the doorway, Kristin froze at the scene before her. After a moment, she
regained her composure. “Oh, Jason's home! Carry on, you two, carry on.”
With that, Kristin closed the door behind her, leaving the couple to themselves.
She thought Jason hadn't been home for a while, so she came to find Estrella,
intending to discuss a plan to quickly get pregnant.
Once the door clicked shut, Estrella couldn't help but let out a giggle at Jason's
reaction. “Jason, it's not that I'm not keeping my promises. It's just that your
mom's here.”
Jason gave Estrella’s bottom a playful slap. “Get off.”
With Kristin in the house, their intimate moment was over. It was time for
breakfast.
Jason's mood, which had been on the rise, was doused, eliciting Estrella’s
sympathy. She consoled him, “Tonight, then. I'm not working late today.”
After a lingering kiss, he finally let her go.
Moments later, they made their way downstairs where Kristin sat with an
embarrassed. look on her face, not expecting Estrella to so boldly tackle Jason. It
seemed the issue lay with her son, not with Estrella.
“Here you are.” Kristin greeted them with a smile, then added, “I've brought some
tonic for Jason. Make sure he finishes it, Estrella.”
Glancing towards the kitchen, Estrella saw an array of supplements for libido —
Kristin was certainly a caring mother.
“Sure thing,” Estrella agreed with a grin.
Jason looked peeved. “Mom, don't you have anything better to do?”
Kristin's eyes
widened in mock surprise. “Indeed, I have too much free time, which is why

you need to hurry up and give me a grandchild to look after.”
Jason's expression soured. “If you keep barging in like you just did, you can kiss
your dreams of being a grandmother goodbye.”
Kristin's concern was palpable. “Did I scare you that much?”
“As if I wasn’t having enough trouble,” Jason muttered.
Kristin looked remorseful, while Estrella tried to smooth things over. “Mom, it's not
as bad as you think.”
“Estrella, I know you're just trying to save dignity for Jason,” Kristin said, taking
Estrella’s hand. “You'll have to bear with it a bit longer, dear.”
“Family doesn't keep score,” Estrella replied nonchalantly, though she was nearly
laughing on the inside.
Amidst their banter, Jason nudged Estrella with his foot. Kristin's displeasure was
evident. “You've got issues, and you don't even let Estrella talk about them. Just
take care of yourself and don't let Estrella down.”
Jason rubbed his temples. One Estrella was enough of a headache; his mother’s
meddling was the last thing he needed.
“Let's eat,” Kristin suggested, mistaking Jason's grimace for embarrassment. She
ushered the young couple to the table for breakfast.
After a hearty meal at home, Jason offered, “I'll drive you.”
Estrella accepted with a laugh. “Sure.” It wasn't often that Jason volunteered, and
Estrella
wasn't one to refuse.
Seeing the couple get along, Kristin felt a wave of relief — her hopes for a
grandchild seemed more promising.
Once the car started, Estrella couldn't help but chuckle at the morning's mix-up.
Jason shot her a look of disdain and she quickly composed herself. “It's no big
deal. We've got plenty of time.”
In twenty minutes, they arrived at the law firm, and after a bit of playful banter,
Estrella stepped out of the car. Watching her until she disappeared from view, a
faint smile played on Jason's lips.
Later, at the office, Estrella’s teasing texts about arrangement that evening
brought a smile to his face. He didn't reply, but he was clearly enjoying the
flirtation...
Since she had promised Jason that she wouldn't work overtime tonight and had
flirted with him online all day, Estrella packed up her things and left the office, as
evening approached and it was time to finish work.

signaling for the brute to be taken away.
