30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason) novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141 

Estrella lay on the bed with her eyes closed as if her body and soul were floating above, detached and weightless. 

Afterward, Jason lounged in the bed, lighting a cigarette for himsHe snuffed it out before he could take more than a couple of drags. The rush had been so intense, so utterly satisfying, that he craved a smoke, but Estrella wasn’t fond of the smell of tobacco. He didn’t want to risk her health just in case she stirred. So, after only two puffs, the cigarette was extinguished. 

Gazing down at Estrella, he watched as she quivered on the bed and chuckled, “Still feeling it, huh? Women should enjoy it even more.” 

Estrella’s bare shoulders peeked out from under the covers as she looked back at him and playfully suggested, “Maybe next time, I’ll take the lead…” 

Knowing that Estrella was not one to mince words, Jason shot her a stern look, and she promptly mimed zipping her lips. 

When it came down to it, their chemistry was seamless. Neither had others to compare to, but they both knew they shared an uncommon connection – both were intellectuals, and they understood these matters well. 

The room fell into a serene silence, and Jason snuggled under the covers. Propping his head up with his right hand, he lay on his side and began to tidy the stray locks on Estrella’s face, asking softly, “Did you run into anyone today? Anything you need to tell me?” 

Estrella just looked at him. He’d practically asked her point-blank. She might as well come clean. 

Pulling the blanket over her shoulders, she replied nonchalantly, “You already know, don’t you? So why ask?” 

Jason reached out to her, “It’s one thing for me to say it, another for you to admit it.” 

Estrella shivered under his touch. 

The night was quiet, the room charged with intimacy. Noticing Estrella’s silence, Jason pulled her into his arms with a gentle tug. Their skin met, bare and inviting, despite their earlier exertions. 

Estrella met Jason’s deep gaze, noticing the absence of the usual sharpness and coldness in his eyes, only a hopeful expectation for her to speak her truth. She inched closer and wrapped her arms around his neck, confessing, “I had a flat tire. Korey just happened to pass by and gave me a lift, and we grabbed lunch together.” 

Before Jason could respond, Estrella playfully pinched his chin, “But Jason, how come

you know every move I make? Have you been having someone follow me?” 

Jason was straightforward, “It’s not like that. A senior manager from the office saw you at 

the courthouse.” 

He wasn’t lying. Despite some distance between them, Jason would never stoop to having her followed. He trusted her more than that. 

The conversation remained soft-spoken. When Estrella didn’t press the issue, she turned over and playfully bit his chin, “Got any energy left for another round?” 

Jason cradled the back of her head, drawing her into a kiss. 

Their foreplay was brief as Jason lifted her legs and entered her, holding her waist as they began in earnest. They were tightly intertwined as if the rest of the world faded away. 

They spoke kindly to each other. The rare ease between them was palpable. 

After a while, both satisfied, Jason held Estrella close as they drifted off to sleep. 

The next morning, Estrella was busy at work when a commotion erupted outside the law. firm with a very familiar male voice. 

“Where’s Estrella? I want her out here now.” 

“She’s losing a case and got my car trashed. What kind of intellectual does that? What kind of lawyer is she? She should be disbarred” 

“Estrella, get the hell out here!” 

“Sir, if you continue this, we’ll have to call the police.” 

Though her colleagues tried to block Nick, he barged in anyway. 

Estrella stood calmly from her chair. “Keegan, let him through.” 

Hearing Estrella’s command, they let Nick go. Pointing furiously at Estrella, the man. bellowed, “What kind of lawyer are you? I swear, I’m gonna get your license revoked!” 

As his finger nearly jabbed Estrella’s face, Keegan and the security guards intervened once more. Unperturbed, Estrella retorted, “Nick, if you want to sue me, you need to get your facts straight. If you carry on with this behavior in our firm, I could have you behind bars for a fortnight.” 

“Fine, you deny it, huh!” His face was pale with rage. Nick took out his phone to show her photos. “You dare deny that you trashed my car? Are you seeking revenge?” 

Estrella glanced at the photos on his phone-a Volkswagen SUV, battered beyond recognition, practically totaled. 

In an instant, Estrella knew what had happened. Without asking, she knew it was Jason’s
