30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 307

Estrella just gazed at Jason when he asked his question.

At that moment, she saw the tender look he gave Isaac, and Isaac's dependency on him. She actually wanted to tell him that Isaac was his son, his very own flesh and blood.

But Cole had just informed her that her grandparents were coming over tomorrow. He probably noticed her emotional stirrings tonight, so he made it a point to remind her. After all, he was against the idea of them getting back together, although he hadn’t made it too obvious, out of respect for Landon.

Earlier at the hospital, Cole indeed noticed Estrella's emotional turmoil and felt compelled to remind her. After all she had been through, he wanted her to keep something back for herself.

Jason had asked him to give way for Innovative Solutions Inc., and Cole couldn’t easily forget the fall Estrella had taken. She was his darling, the one he had raised with all the tenderness and love he could muster. He would rather bear the brunt himself than let her experience the slightest harm or injustice.

Moreover, Estrella hadn’t been back for long, and who knew how long Jason’s enthusiasm would last.

Thinking of Cole’s reluctance, Estrella softly caressed Jason’s hand on her face, saying, “Isaac is lucky to have you as a dad.”

At Estrella’s approval, Jason broke into a radiant smile, his eyes sparkling, before leaning in to kiss her. Often, their communication was all in the unsaid. Jason’s warm kiss led Estrella to gently close her eyes. After a tender and intricate kiss, they both fell asleep with Isaac nestled between them.

The next morning, the couple got Isaac ready and went downstairs for breakfast when Catrina arrived. On the stairs, both Estrella and Jason slowed down, and Isaac, seeing a stranger in the house, clutched Jason even tighter.

In the living room, Catrina’s eyes widened in surprise at Jason for a moment, then she quickly recovered, greeting them with a smile, “Good morning, Estrella, Jason!”

Then turning to Isaac with a gentle tone, she asked, “Did Isaac cry when he woke up this morning?”

Hearing Catrina speak, Estrella and Jason resumed their normal pace downstairs, greeting her with, “Good morning, Mrs. Carter.”

Catrina responded, “I heard about Isaac’s accident. Holly insisted I come check on him, saying that growing up with Estrella, it’s the least I could do.”

“She wanted to come herself, but the winter season takes a toll on her health, making it hard for her to breathe. So, she made me promise to visit on her behalf.”

“Both Holly and you, Mrs. Carter, are too kind. Isaac’s injury isn’t serious,” Estrella remarked, then looked at Isaac, “Say thank you to grandma.”

Isaac, still clinging to Jason, shyly thanked Catrina, “Thank you, grandma.”

Catrina’s smile was warm, “Isaac is such a sweetheart.”

But her words carried another meaning for Estrella and Jason; it wasn’t just about visiting Isaac. She wanted Jason to remember her, perhaps to rekindle old feelings. Putting it simply, she was there to stir the pot.

So, the couple tactfully avoided asking about Holly’s health. In the past, Jason would have shown some consideration for old times’ sake, as long as she didn’t bring up that fire incident. But now, with everything out in the open and the truth of that night being investigated, they had no reason to indulge her.

“What’s up, Vin?” Serene asked, noticing his worried expression.

“It’s mom, she’s gone again. Sneaked out,” Vincent replied, his brows knitted in concern.

Serene sighed, “She’s probably not used to living here and went back to our old house. I’ll go look for her. You head back inside, okay?”

Vincent, who hadn’t finished his homework and was now accustomed to their mother’s disappearing acts, merely nodded and reminded his sister to be careful before heading back.

Taking the elevator down to the underground garage, Serene drove back to their old family home. By the time she parked the car and started walking down the alley, it was already past nine. The weather had been dreary, making the streets emptier than usual. Their family home was in an old apartment block, which many had left for newer residences, adding to the desolation.

Halfway down the alley, Serene sensed someone behind her. Turning around, she saw several men trailing her. A chill ran down her spine. She turned back and quickened her pace, only to hear their footsteps hasten as well.

Fear gripping her, she reached for her phone, but the men sped up, prompting her to break into a run.

Meanwhile, at the Dorvold household. Estrella had just gotten Isaac to sleep when her phone on the desk suddenly rang.
