30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 121
Kristin was fuming, and her blood was boiling at the thought of Erin's audacious
words earlier. If it hadn't been for the respect she had for the two old gentlemen,
she would have torn off Erin’s smug mask right then and there.
As soon as Kristin voiced her anger, Estrella knew she had seen Erin corner her
in the
restroom.
Keith furrowed his brow as he listened to Kristin's account. “This is news to me,”
he
muttered with concern.
Turning to Estrella, Kristin insisted, “If you don’t believe me, ask Estrella. Didn't
Erin stop her in the restroom? Didn't he say those things to her?” That guy has a
heart of stone. Who knows if he was behind the exposure of Hunter's illegitimate
child using Estrella. And I've heard he’s been ruthless to the mistress. Poor
Hunter can’t even show his face at the office; Erin's made his life a living hell,”
Kristin added with a disgusted shake of her head.
Estrella chimed in, supporting her mother-in-law, “Grandpa, Erin’s ambitions are
indeed dangerous. Kristinm's not lying.”
Faced with the testimonies of both Kristin and Estrella, Keith gripped his cane
tighter. His
brow creased in silence.
He pondered the possibility that by helping the Lamont family, he might have
helped a future enemy. If Erin ever grew more powerful, he would surely clash
with Jason.
Keith sank into a thoughtful silence, which was broken by Jason stepping
forward. His hands were casually tucked into his jeans. “Grandpa, don’t worry
about it. Whether it's work or Estrella, Erin doesn’t stand a chance.”
Jason's reassurance eased Keith's mind, and he finally said, “Jason, you've
always been sensible and measured. My philosophy is simple: live and let live
unless they cross you
first.”
“Understood, Grandpa,” Jason replied with a nod.
After a brief chat, Jason and Estrella prepared to leave. Kristin came out to see
them off. Her mood was visibly lighter.
In the yard, Jason took Estrella’s hand and glanced back at Kristin. “Mom, what
did Estrella say to Erin earlier?”
“She said that Erin doesn’t compare to you,” Kristin confessed with a hint of pride
in her voice.
At that, Jason laughed a genuine, hearty laugh that filled the evening air. He then
wrapped an arm around Estrella. His fingers playfully tweaked her earlobe as he
teased,

“Good taste.”
“I'm not sure about taste, but at least I'm not dumb,” Estrella shot back with a
smile.
Kristin, intuitively aware that the couple’s relationship had significantly improved,
was thrilled upon hearing their plans of starting a family. Her heart overflowed
with joy at the prospect of becoming a grandmother. After imparting a few more
pieces of wisdom, she bade them goodbye. As their car disappeared into the
distance, her heart brimmed with dreams of cuddling her future grandchildren.
As the car pulled away, Jason turned to Estrella with a wry smile. “Erin’s got
some nerve.” It seemed that their last confrontation, where Erin’s arm ended up
broken, had been too
lenient.
Estrella fanned the flames, “He sure does, even daring to go after your wife.”
Jason warned her with mock severity, “Estrella, let me make one thing clear. If
you ever think about straying, I'll bury you.”
“Same goes for you,” Estrella retorted, playfully challenging him to keep himself
in check as well.
Back at home, they had barely stepped through the door when Autumn greeted
them with open arms and a warm smile. “Estrella, Jason, you're back!”
Estrella, slipping off her shoes, asked with a hint of suspicion, “Mom, what brings
you here?”
“I came to see you and Jason, of course!” Autumn said as if it was the most
natural thing in the world.
Estrella, now facing her mother, sensed there was more to the visit than a simple
check-in Jason greeted Autumn as well.
“Ah!” Autumn responded with surprise, pleased to find Jason at home —
something that was a rarity during her visits. It confirmed what Kristin had said
about the couple’s improved relationship.
As Jason excused himself to take a work call from Grayson, Autumn seized the
opportunity to grill Estrella. “Estrella, how have things been going with Jason?
Any news on the baby?”
“It's not that simple,” Estrella replied with a roll of her eyes, knowing well that her
mother was here on a mission to talk about grandchildren.
After reassuring her mother that things were under control, Estrella received a
bundle of health supplements from Autumn, which she promised to use.
Once Autumn was satisfied, she made to leave. Her motherly duties were fulfilled
for the

day. Jason returned from his call and suggested she stay for dinner, but Autumn
had other plans and soon departed, leaving the couple to their evening.

Before they got hitched, Jason had
been a regular visitor at the Dorvold
residence. But after the wedding, his
visits could be counted on one hand.
It was no wonder Autumn felt distant.

Following Estrella into the house, Jason recalled her conversation with Erin
earlier that evening. She had said Erin couldn't compare to him. Quickening his
pace, he swept
Estrella off her feet in one smooth motion.
Startled, Estrella instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. “What's the big
idea? Lost your sense of time and place?”
Jason, with a smirk, retorted, “When your mom's dropping by to nudge us about
grandkids, what else is there to do?”
He didn’t need to hear their mother-daughter chat to guess Autumn’s visit was
about encouraging the next generation.
Estrella chuckled. Her hands were still around his neck. “You're getting along with
your mother-in-law. That's progress.”

“I haven't showered,” Estrella pointed out, with a playful tone in her voice.
Jason grinned mischievously. “To the bathroom, then. Let's head to the
bathroom.”
