Chapter 39
Kristin pressed on, and her temper flared, “What's wrong with Estrella? She's
beautiful, smart, has a killer body, an impressive education, and comes from a
good family. She’s leagues above that Serene, yet you treat her like she’s
invisible”
“And didn’t you agree to this marriage? You brought Estrella home, but now
you're just leaving her alone. Isn't that just heartless?
If you want this way, you should have never agreed to the marriage!
It's been over two years since you've been married. How often have you been
home? Estrella’s always the one reaching out. Do you think this is appropriate?
“If someone wishes for you to have a fulfilling life with Estrella, you would direct
them to construct schools in distant locations You are a total disgrace to the
Nelson family.”
Jason's head was pounding. He massaged the bridge of his nose and met
Kristin's gaze, which was fiery with indignation What now? You want me to head
off and build schools too?
Jason muttered 1 wouldn't dare”
Indeed, Estrella had always been the initiator throughout their marriage But why
did Estrella get married with him and become the initiator? Everyone in the family
knew the reason and her purpose Had Estrella been sincere had that incident not
occurred. things might have been different
Jason didn’t want to argue with Kristin so he placated her “We're not getting a
divorce, okay? We'll work it out”
Kristin's eyes lit up “What about kids? Will thake grandchildren to dote on?
Jason was blunt. “No kids
Kristin exploded, swatting at him with a feather duster “Say that again!”
Meanwhile, in Estrella’'s room
After Kristin dragged Jason away, Autumn started sobbing “Why did you have to
be so impatient? Why did you agree to this?”
Estrella, feeling a headache said wearily. Mom, please. It's too early for a flood of
tears And besides, it’s not like there’s a shortage of guys out there. What are you
worried
about?”
After saying it, she handed her mom a tissue, who accepted it but cried harder.
“You forgetful child. Have you forgotten what the fortune-teller said? Do you want
to end your lineage?
Estrella remained silent, prompting Autumn to hdd, “Even if Jason has a
wandering eye,
women have to share the blame for not keeping our husbands close.”
Estrella scoffed. “You blame yourself more than anyone else.”
Autumn, drying her tears, asked, “What did you say?”
Estrella deflected. 1 said it's my fault, for not keeping your son-in-law close to my
heart.” Deep down she was relieved her father wasn’t fooling around, or she'd be
unsure whom to call “Mom”,
Without arguing. Autumn continued, “We can't solely blame you. Jason has his
faults, and so do those other women.”
Estrella admitted, “I'm not at fault here.”
Ignoring Estrella’s comment, Autumn insisted, To keep a man’s heart, a woman
should bear his child. Otherwise, he'll always be restless.”
Estrella couldn't agree. Her child would be for herself, not for anyone else.
Silence from Estrella prompted Autumn to probe, “Why aren't you speaking?”
Estrella conceded. “You're right.”
Autumn, now serious, revealed, “l came here to lay it out for you. Forget about
divorce. Your father and I will never approve of it. He said, no matter how tough it
gets, you have to have a child. What will you do when we're gone? You can’t be
left alone.”
Estrella relented, “Fine, I'll have a child.”
Autumn, wiping away the last of her tears, made Estrella promise, “You said it
yourself. Don’t go back on your word.”
Estrella touched her temple, affirming, “I promised.”
Autumn, still doubtful, urged, “Your father’s stressed with company issues. Don’t
distract him further.”
Estrella straightened up, “What's happening to the company?” Her family’s
wealth was not to be trifled with; it was her future security.
Autumn disclosed, “It's something to do with the Lamont family. So, no more
troubles for your father.”
Estrella nodded, “Understood.”
Satisfied, Autumn said, “As long as you prioritize and reduce the friction with
Jason, things will be better.”
Estrella agreed, “I'll try.”
Later, Autumn left to check on Jason. Exiting the room, they ran into Kristin and
