30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 330

Estrella glanced up at her aunt's question, locking eyes with her.

At the head of the table, Keith's mood soured, his face darkening as he said, "It's Thanksgiving. Why bring up the Lamont girl now? Just enjoy your turkey."

If Isaac truly was Jason's son, that would be cause for celebration—a joyous occasion for all.

But if Isaac wasn't Jason's son, had her aunt just made an awkward faux pas? Had she embarrassed Estrella?

Keith had just given Estrella the family ring, hoping for her and Jason to patch things up soon. Now, her questions threatened to undo all his efforts.

Even if the rumors about the Lamont girl were true, today was not the time to discuss them.

Didn't he hear the gossip? Wasn't he curious? But he had kept silent.

Estrella, quick-witted as ever, immediately understood Keith's intention; he was trying to spare her any embarrassment.

With a calm and steady gaze at her aunt and Keith, Estrella said, "Grandpa, Isaac is indeed Jason's biological son. When I left Ravenwood, I was already three months pregnant and went abroad to give birth to Isaac."

Her announcement left Keith so stunned he dropped his fork with a clatter.

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

When Estrella's eyes met Kristin's, she saw tears welling up in her eyes.

Keith, in disbelief, cautiously asked, "Estrella, could you repeat what you just said?"

Overwhelmed by the sudden happiness, Keith felt as if he was dreaming.

"Grandpa, Isaac is Jason's biological son, your great-grandson," Estrella reiterated.

Upon hearing this, Keith's eyes teared up, his hand trembling.

Isaac was Jason's son, his great-grandson, a true Nelson.

At that moment, Keith felt his life was complete, ready to face his ancestors without regret.

Seeing Keith's shock, Jason added, "Grandpa, I was about to tell you. Just hadn't found the right moment."

Kristin, sitting next to Isaac, couldn't stop her tears.

She had always known, she had always favored Estrella, and her son did too. Their feelings were genuine; Estrella couldn't possibly belong to another man.

It was just a misunderstanding between her and Jason.

Jason's cousin handed Kristin a tissue, comforting her, "Aunt Kristin, you should be happy, smiling because Isaac is your grandson."

Wiping her tears with a smile, Kristin replied, "I am happy, so very happy. These are tears of joy."

Jason's grandmother remained composed, proudly stating, "I knew the child was Jason's from the first glance. I just didn’t want to burst the bubble since Estrella hadn’t mentioned it."

Erik pulled Bryce back to his seat, with Bryce lamenting, "Why am I always the fall guy?"

Thomas joked, "Because you're an easy target."

Keith retorted, "You're no saint either."

After a round of laughter, the evening continued with board games, watching the Thanksgiving parade on TV, and setting off fireworks in the yard, making this holiday season particularly festive.

Kristin felt a torrent of emotions as she reflected on the challenges Estrella and Jason faced, marveling at how quickly time had passed—her grandson was already here.

She reached out to Estrella, initiating a heartfelt conversation. "Mom, I'm so sorry for keeping this from you until now," Estrella confessed with a hint of apology in her voice.

"There's no need for apologies, Estrella. I understand," Kristin responded with empathy. Before Estrella could say more, Kristin continued, "Ever since you were young, you've been bright and sensible, always knowing what's important. Whatever choices you make, I know you've thought them through. Remember, I'm here to support you no matter what."

"And if Jason ever dares to mistreat you, he'll have me to answer to," Kristin added, half-jokingly but with a serious undertone.

Estrella nodded in agreement, her heart warmed by the genuine care and affection she received from Kristin. Despite any misunderstandings with Jason, she couldn't deny that the Nelson family offered a loving and supportive environment, especially Kristin.

"About your parents, your dad and I have discussed it. We're planning to visit your family after the Christmas holidays to show our support and to reassure your parents," Kristin mentioned, thoughtfully planning ahead.

Estrella smiled, touched by the thoughtfulness. "Mom, Dad, don't worry about it. Jason's got it covered," she assured them confidently.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law held hands, their bond as close, if not closer, than many mothers and daughters.
