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

Chapter 8
With a swift movement, he caught Estrella’s hands just as she was about to push
him away, pinning them against the headboard.
Estrella huffed, “Fine, the one who quits is a loser.”
In the end, during their tussle, Estrella discovered that Jason was intent on
playing rough. Seizing the opportunity when Jason was off guard, she grabbed a
decorative piece from the nightstand and, without a second thought, smashed it
over his head.
“Estrella!” Jason bellowed her name and wiped his forehead, his palm coming
away bloody.
Estrella, as if nothing had happened, tossed the ornament back onto the
nightstand and dusted off her hands. “l warned you.”
She was clear in her message: If he wants to do it, fine. But forget about playing
games
with her.
“Jason, look at you now! To think Estrella landed you in the hospital.”
In the hospital.
Thomas, who had come along to keep Jason company while he got bandaged
up, couldn't help but burst into laughter seeing his friend's head wrapped in
gauze. Estrella was badass, unlike them who had only ever been on the
receiving end of a beating.
Jason threw him a cold look, and Thomas immediately made a zipping motion
across hist lips, though his face was still struggling to hide a grin.
While driving Jason back, Thomas couldn't stop chuckling every time he glanced
at him.
“Is Estrella jealous?” Jason asked sideways.
“Isn't it obvious?” Thomas replied. “Otherwise, she wouldn't have landed you in
the hospital. Jason, Estrella’s a keeper. You should treasure her.”
Jason adjusted his cufflinks and patted the dried blood on his sleeve. His face
suc lost its earlier grimness, and a sly smile crept onto his lips.
“Jason, have you been knocked senseless by Estrella?” Thomas teased. “You
can sti smile at a time like this? Think about how you'll face people tomorrow, and
how you'l explain this.”
Jason was unconcerned. What was there to explain? My wife hit me.
Back at the mansion, after Jason had left with an injury, Estrella didn’t wait for
him to
return.

The next morning, she got ready and headed straight to Nelson International to
discuss legal representation. In the reception room, the secretary politely
informed her, “Ms. Estrella, Mr. Nelson is in a meeting. We won't be discussing
legal representation today.”
The secretary told Jason that Ms. Estrella from Justice Guardians LLP was here,
and Jason's response was clear: he wouldn't see her. Estrella had the gall to
come over to talk business after what she did to him? The nerve.
Shortly after, the head of legal affairs arrived and told Estrella, “Ms. Estrella, our
group isn’t considering Justice Guardians LLP."
This wasn't an explanation; it was a flat-out rejection.
Despite visiting Nelson International several times later, Jason still refused to see
her, and the legal department wouldn't engage with her either.
A week went by, and as Estrella was leaving work, she noticed a sleek black
Maybach parked not far from the law firm. Her steps slowed.
Drew, spotting Estrella, quickly got out and opened the back door. “Ms. Estrella.”
Estrella paused, and Drew said, “Mr. Jason has come to take you back to the
estate for
dinner.”
Estrella glanced at Jason sitting in the back seat and said indifferently, “I'm busy.”
She had tried to see him multiple times, and he hadn't even shown his face. Now
he wanted her to play house? She wasn't going to play along.
In the back seat, Jason remained seated, his expression unreadable. Jason
remarked, “It seems you really don’t want to be a mother.”
That comment struck a nerve. Estrella crossed her arms and looked down at him.
“Did you ever give me a chance?”
Jason flicked an invisible speck of dust off his sleeve. “Not being able to s a
failure on your part.”

Then, he looked up, “Estrella, from now on, I'll come back once a month.
Whether you tak advantage of that is up to you.”
Once a month? What if the timing was off? That would be a wasted trip. And
Jason wasn known for being cooperative or straightforward.
Thinking this over, Estrella countered, “Once a week, non-negotiable.”
Jason appraised her for a moment, his lips curving into a smile. “Get in.”

Drew closed the door with a relieved sigh and got into the driver's seat.
Negotiating even for going home to sleep? This couple’s dynamic was truly
something else.
No sooner had Jason and Estrella entered the estate than Jason's grandmother,
Amber, bustled out. “Oh my! My little Estrella’s back! Let granny have a look, any
sign of a baby bump?”
Leaning over, Amber pressed her ear against Estrella’s stomach to listen.
Estrella felt awkward. “Granny, not yet.”
Amber's cheer faded as she stood up. “Estrella, you and Jason have been
married for two years, why no news? Have you gone to the doctor? Is the issue
with you or Jason?”

After a brief pause, he turned to Jason and said, “Jason, come with me. We need
to talk.”
With Jason taken aside, Estrella stayed in the living room, making small talk with
the grandparents and watching TV.

kind to her, Estrella might have even entertained the thought of marrying Landon
instead. Certainly, it would have been a much better choice than ending up with
Jason.
Meanwhile, Amber was busy fussing over Jason at the table, urging him, “Jason,
eat up. You need to build up your strength.”
Estrella glanced over and couldn't help but notice that Amber was piling Jason's
plate with
