30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason) novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262 

At the Nelson family’s mansion. 

Chapter 262 

Just as Keith entered the room, he saw Amber feeding Isaac beef stew. Spotting Isaac, Keith immediately felt delighted and greeted, “Hey, Isaac.” 

In the living room, Isaac, hearing someone address him, swung his face toward the entrance and sprang from his tiny chair at the sight of Keith. He dashed over, his small feet thudding on the floor, calling out, “Great-Grandpa!” 

Keith’s response boomed through the house. 

Reaching Keith, Isaac hastily arranged Keith’s slippers in front of him, a gesture of care, “Time to change shoes, Great-Grandpa.” 

Keith’s heart swelled with warmth as Isaac handed him the slippers. Slipping his feet into them, Keith scooped Isaac up, “What a sweet great-grandson I’ve got.” 

Though well into his eighties, and usually attended by household staff, Keith found lifting Isaac effortless, as if Isaac infused him with vitality. 

Isaac giggled at Keith’s praise, his laughter as natural as if he had never been coached by 

Estrella on how to charm. 

Holding Isaac close, Keith observed, “This child is so much like Estrella, always smiling with such a pleasant disposition.” 

Amber rolled her eyes at Keith and took Isaac into her arms, “If he’s so sweet, why are you pushing Jason to go on those silly dates?” Then to Isaac, she said, “Come on, honey, let’s leave him be and go finish our stew with me.” 

Amber, feeling the strain of carrying Isaac, set him down and led him by the hand. Keith muttered aside, “Haven’t I dropped that subject? Didn’t I say it’s up to Jason to decide?” He didn’t quite feel right sharing with everyone that he had just been to see Estrella. 

Across the room, Jason gave Keith a knowing look, thinking to himself that the only one who could handle his grandfather was indeed his grandmother. 

After finishing his stew, Isaac noticed the adults weren’t paying much attention to Keith, so he pulled up a stool next to Keith and began to crack nuts. 

Once he had a small pile, he placed them, mixed with his saliva, into Keith’s palm, “For you, Great-Grandpa.” 

Keith stared at the nuts in his palm and felt his eyes well up with emotion. Such a young child, and already so sensible. Estrella had truly given birth to a treasure, a child endearing to all. 

And lately, the more Keith saw of Isaac, the more Keith saw resemblances to Jason in

Isaac. It seemed that genuine affection was reciprocated with a growing resemblance. 

“Isaac, that’s plenty for me, don’t hurt your fingers,” Keith cautioned gently. 

“Okay.” Isaac agreed, then sat attentively by Keith as he watched his favorite military history program. 

Keith, seeing how considerate Isaac was, turned to Jason with a hint of pride, “Jason, this kid is more thoughtful than you ever were. He’s cracking nuts for me, and you, you’ve never even poured me a glass of water.” 

Jason, exuding nonchalance, replied, “My kid’s respect is the same as mine.” 

Keith scoffed, “You shameless thing, you’ve indeed found a pair of treasures.” 

The treasures Keith referred to were none other than Estrella and Isaac. Fortunately, Isaac was still young, and if Jason treated him well, he would undoubtedly come to see Jason as his real father. 

Jason just smiled in response. 

After a while at home, Jason took Isaac back with him. When it was time to leave, Keith and Amber were reluctant to see them go, fussing over Isaac and reminding Jason to bring him over more often. Jason promised he would. 

Bringing Isaac back was meant to foster a bond between Isaac and his 

great-grandparents, to help them accept Isaac and Estrella. And it seemed Jason’s purpose had been achieved. 

Half an hour later, Jason picked up Estrella from the courthouse. 

Estrella hadn’t planned on staying late, but after her chat with Keith and a call from Glimmering Lake, she found herself caught up in work again. 

Once in the car, Estrella saw Isaac fast asleep in his car seat, covered with a blanket. Jason had proven himself capable and thoughtful in his care for Isaac, who had remained unscathed and healthy even through the peak seasons for colds and flu. 

Handing her a thermos bag, Jason said, “Isaad is here, and it’s getting late. I figured you might not want to go to a restaurant, so when passed by earlier, I packed a meal for you.” 

“Thanks,” Estrella said, accepting the meal. She had been too busy to eat properly at lunch, and now, starting the car, she began to eat. 

Once satiated, Estrella felt a deep sense of contentment. Life was busy, sure, but fulfilling, and with someone to help with Isaac, her spirits were lifted. 

As the car pulled up to the Dorvold family home, Jason stepped out to dispose of the trash. Estrella expected him to come back and help with Isaac, but instead, he sat down beside her.

“What are you doing sitting here? We’re already at my place,” she asked, turning to face 

him. 

Jason closed the car door and casually said, “How many days has it been since you sat with me, since we talked? You’ve been so busy” 

Realizing she had indeed been preoccupied, Estrella admitted, “The case is coming up.”
