30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason) novel Chapter 252

Chapter 252 

Hearing this, Jason came to a dead halt. He stood still for a moment, then turned to lock eyes with Keith. 

The look on Jason’s face had definitely lost its earlier warmth, and his gaze towards Keith had frosted over. 

Keith went for the emotional angle, “You know better than anyone if there’s a future for you and Estrella. And, come on, if you were really honest with yourself, could you truly accept her child?” 

“I can,” Jason replied flatly. 

In Keith eyes, Jason was always the level-headed one, not someone to be ensnared by emotions. But this time, Jason had gone too far, accepting something most men couldn’t stomach. 

When Jason didn’t rise to the bait about the child, Keith played the sympathy card, “I’m getting on in years, Jason. Can’t you indulge an old man’s last wishes? Besides, you haven’t even met the girl I’m talking about. How can you be so sure you won’t like her?” 

“Other than Estrella, I don’t have eyes for anyone else.” 

Keith’s face darkened. “Are you trying to be the death of me? Do you want me to leave this world without peace?” 

Jason’s retort was nonchalant, “You’ve had a life of smooth sailing, calling the shots. Not many can boast of such glory. So even if this one thing doesn’t go your way, I doubt you’ll have any regrets.” That was Jason’s way of saying, deal with it. 

Keith fumed, “You bastard, you’re going to be the death of me.” 

Jason remained unfazed. “If I am, then so be it. What can I do? Nobody lives forever, and a hundred years from now, we’ll still have to face each other.” 

Kristin, trying not to laugh at Jason’s comebacks, thought to herself that Keith should have kept his nose out of her son’s business. Keith had summoned Jason back for a blind date, and now, after getting an earful, hopefully, Keith would drop this. 

As Keith was ready to swing his cane at Jason, Kristin stepped in to calm him down, “Please, let it go. Don’t stoop to his level. You’ll only make yourself sick. And you know how stubborn Jason can be. Once he opens his mouth, he can rile up the dead.” 

It might have looked like Kristen was supporting Keith, but in reality, she was preventing Keith from hitting her son. 

Kristin’s peacemaking didn’t deter Jason from stating, “Grandpa, I won’t trade the rest of my life for your fleeting happiness, nor will I attend any blind dates you arrange. Estrella is the only woman for me.” With that, Jason didn’t linger and left the house.

“What a fool,” Keith cursed as Jason walked away. 

“Let it go. He’s gone. Save your breath,” Kristin soothed. 

Amber, watching the scene with disdain, chimed in, “Did you really think any of your grandchildren would be pushovers? I told you to stay out of their business. Serves you right for not listening.” 

Keith, still irate, declared, “As long as I’m breathing, he won’t be with Estrella. The Nelson family will not be raising another man’s child.” 

Amber chuckled. “You think they even want your help?” 

As the elders bickered, Kristin nodded in agreement, thinking to herself how formidable her mother-in-law’s sharp tongue was. But then again, Amber was speaking the hard truth. 

Leaving the old family estate, Jason felt irked. Not so much at Keith’s pressure, but at the possibility of him getting in touch with Estrella. 

Estrella was already reluctant to accept him, and resistant to the idea of getting back together. Keith’s interference would only make things worse. 

Hands on the steering wheel, he found himself outside the Dorvold residence without even realizing it. 

Jason got out of the car and leaned against it, gazing up at Estrella’s window. It had been three days since he’d seen her, four days since he’d seen Isaac. Pulling out a cigarette and lighter, he lit up and blew out a long smoke ring, which helped ease his mind a little. 

“What are you doing, lurking outside my house in the dead of night?” Estrella’s voice suddenly cut through the silence. Jason turned, saw her standing next to him, and hastily stubbed out the cigarette in the nearest bin. 

Estrella eyed the extinguished smoke. “What’s up?” 

“Just came to see how you’re doing,” Jason said casually. 

That was true, though he hadn’t expected to run into her right outside her house. 

Estrella glanced at his car. “You’re blocking the…” 

Before she could finish, Jason pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. Caught off guard, Estrella didn’t react right away. 

With his chin resting on her shoulder, Jason confessed, “I’m tired.” 

So was she. After all, who wasn’t tired in this world? 

Without responding to Jason or pushing him away, Estrella waited before asking, “Had

enough yet?” 

Jason shook his head and kissed her cheek. “I’ve missed you.” He missed her so much he wanted to hold her forever, to open his eyes each morning and see her.
