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

Chapter 80

Estrella slowed her pace and, with her usual nonchalant smile, quipped, “Finding
me to file a lawsuit?” It was as though she and Jason were mere acquaintances,
not husband and

wife.

Jason flicked the remains of his cigarette to the ground and stamped it out. “Not
planning on coming home?”

She quirked a brow and gestured to the door behind her. “Hey! Isn't that my
home?”

Jason, with his hands buried in his pockets, watched Estrella in silence for a
moment before speaking up, “Estrella, I'm here now. Let's both step back, and
besides, Mom's starting to get suspicious.”

Estrella nearly laughed. She had retreated as far as she could. Where else was
she supposed to go?

However, she didn't feel like arguing with Jason about who was right or wrong.
Suppressing a yawn, she said, “Deal with your mom on your own. I need to get
some sleep.”

As Estrella turned towards her door, Jason caught her arm, pulling her back.
Estrella faced him.. “Jason, what's the deal? It's late at night. Don’t make me call
security.”

Jason gripped her arm and spun her back towards him. “I'm giving you a way out
here, Estrella. Take the hint.”

“Don't bother!” she snapped. “I don't need it. Besides, I'm notorious for being
shameless, which you should know by now.”

Did she have to accept it just because he offered? Who did he think he was?
Estrella was unfazed, and Jason was losing his cool. He had come all the way
here, humbled himself before her, yet she still demanded more? Jason
swallowed his “What do you want?”

anger.

Estrella pulled her hand free, exasperated. “Mr. Jason, stop looking for me. Stay
out of my sight, and I'll be over the moon.”

She had stopped seeking him out, but time after time, he came to her, never with
good intentions, always ending in arguments. They should just stay far apart!
Jason furrowed his brows. “You've made up your mind, then? You want a
divorce?”

“Yes, I do!” Estrella began, but Jason cut her off. “Don’t even think about it,
Estrella. Get back to Sandalwood Oasis, or it's bad for both our companies.”
Estrella chuckled, mocking him, “Jason, I never realized how hypocritical you
could be. When you didn’t come back, why didn’t you consider the companies
then? If you play your

games, I'll play mine.” She put up with enough for the sake of their marriage,
turning a blind eye to all the rumors about him. Now, she didn’t care. What was
him in his heart. now anyway?

Since he gave her no respect, he should not expect any in return. If he made her
life hard, why not make it hard for each other?

Jason turned pale. “Fine, Estrella. You want to play hardball? Let's see who
dares to have you then.”

Estrella pushed past him. “Excuse me, don't block my way. I need to sleep.”

As she tried to move past him, Jason grabbed her arm and slammed her against
the nearby wall, leaning in to kiss her lips. It was a fierce, overwhelming kiss from
Jason, but Estrella pushed him away fiercely and, with a sharp slap across his
face, she said, “Jason, I held back from exposing you out of respect. Could you
show some decency? Don’t mess with me just because you're unhappy. I've
facilitated things for you. I've moved out of Sandalwood Oasis. If you, Jason, are
willing, I'm ready to split up anytime. What more do you want?”

Jason's face burned from the slap. Through gritted teeth, he asked, “Why
wouldn't I want to continue our marriage?”

Estrella laughed in frustration. “Are you treating me like a fool, or do you think I'm
blind? You pine for Holly in front of me. I helped you out of a car, but you didn't
even let me touch you. Some trivial issue came up at Serene’s, and you rushed
back overnight.”

“You despise me so much, and you can't stand my touch. Isn't it better if I stay
away? And now you're here at Waterfall Acres, blocking my way. What do you
really want? Do you want some kind of evidence against me? Should I just give it
to you plain and simple?”

After a tiring day and with her stomach still not fully recovered, Estrella was truly
annoyed by all this. She had already distanced herself. What more did Jason
want?

He might not need rest, but others did. She hadn't wanted to argue with Jason
about. these things, but he was being too relentless.

When Estrella brought up Holly and Serene, Jason's hands returned to his
pockets, and after a long silence, he finally looked at her and said, “Estrella, don't
be so unreasonable.”

“Yeah, yeah, I'm unreasonable. I'm inconsiderate. Go find someone else to
reminisce with. I'm done playing this game.”

Jason's face was a picture of frustration. He blocked Estrella’s path without
yielding, so she pushed him aside. “Don’t come around anymore. You deal with
your family.” For over two years, she had managed the messes he made,
explaining things away to her family.

Seeing that Estrella was serious, that she wouldn't come back even when he
came to fetch her, Jason didn’t bother trying to reason with her or argue
anymore. He simply grabbed her by the nape of her neck and steered her toward
the elevator.

Estrella resisted, pushing Jason away to hit the elevator button, but he blocked
her. “Enough with the drama. Are you really going to stay here and not go
home?”

As the elevator descended, Estrella, furious, pummeled him with her bag. “Can't
you ever stop? It's late. Do you have to disturb everyone's rest?” She was
genuinely tired and her stomach was still aching.

Jason didn’t retaliate but just held her by the nape, pulling her to stand beside
him.

Moments later, the elevator doors opened, and as he ushered Estrella out, she
stumbled but caught herself. Turning to face him, she said, “Jason, it took me a
long time to decide to let you go. Don't take it for granted. Otherwise, I might
change my mind and start demanding a baby. Then don’t blame me for being
ruthless.”

Jason, once more gripping the back of her neck, guided her towards the parking
lot. “Fine, have as many kids as you want.”

Estrella declared with a bold challenge, “Whoever doesn't bring kids into this
world is a

chicken!”

Jason came back to find the door wouldn't budge. His face twisted in annoyance
as he rattled the doorknob and pushed against the door, calling out, “Estrella,
open up!”

Inside, Estrella was sprawled out on the bed, carelessly kicking the comforter
over herself, enveloping her body from head to toe, blatantly ignoring Jason.
Jason had no intention of having a child with her, and even if he was up for it, she
wasn't in the least bit interested. It was a standoff, with Estrella confident that she
could outlast

him. Sooner or later, he'd have to broach the subject.

And if he didn't, well, she would, but not now. She was too caught up in dealing
with Ryan's case and didn’t have the energy to bicker with him.

Burrowing herself under the blankets, Estrella ignored Jason's persistent
knocking, drifting off into her own slumber.

After tossing and turning, Estrella sat up abruptly. Her hair was a tousled mess.
She decided to grab a bite after all.
