30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 350

So there they were, the family of three, stuck together like an Oreo, with Isaac giggling in the middle like he'd just heard the funniest joke.

Estrella, caught between laughter and tears, felt like she'd somehow birthed a goofball.

When Autumn emerged from the kitchen with dinner, seeing Estrella in Jason's arms, she teased, "Estrella, aren't you a little too old to be competing with Isaac for cuddles?"

With Erik expecting and Jason back, Estrella was riding a high, playfully retorting, "Mom, are you just jealous 'cause I've got someone to hold me? Dad's right there for you."

Autumn rolled her eyes at Estrella's bragging, warning, "Keep it up, and I might just 'forget' to keep your birth certificate updated. Let’s see you swagger then."

Estrella pleaded, "Oh, come on, Mom! Don't be like that!"

Jason chimed in, "Mom, anything but that. You know how hard we've worked to get on Grandpa's good side, especially with the birth certificate stuff."

Autumn, having them right where she wanted, smirked, "Not so cocky now, huh? Changed your mind about making your dad hug me?"

Estrella fell silent, her sass momentarily deflated.

Kristin, always quick to hold a grudge – wonder where she gets that from?

Amid Estrella and Autumn's playful bickering, Isaac, caught in the middle, giggled away. To him, this was better than any cartoon, a live comedy show featuring his favorite stars.

Isaac wasn't much of a talker, but he found joy in the chaos of arguments, a trait he'd inherited from Estrella who, as a child, would pull up a chair to watch neighborhood spats with the seriousness of a judge.

Then, Cole came downstairs, finding his family in a tangled mess of affection and teasing, too amused and exasperated to intervene. "Adults?" he thought, "More like oversized kids."

Eventually, the call to dinner broke the spell, and after a spirited meal, Autumn skillfully escorted Isaac off to bed, leaving the adults to themselves.

Cole, flustered and at a loss, could only mutter about a bad meal as the cause, but Jason knew better. This wasn’t about food; it was about communication, about understanding the little guy's needs.

In that moment, with his family's happiness hanging in the balance, Jason realized the true depth of his responsibilities, not just as a partner, but as a father, ready to face whatever came their way, together.

Seeing Cole wasn't in the mood to explain, Daniela said, "Sir, little Mr. Jason was just hungry and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. He must have accidentally grabbed some hot sauce and that's why he started crying. Then, we gave him some water to help, but it was a bit warm and that only made him cry harder."

"Then he was crying, looking for grandma, and for his mom and dad, but it turned out no one was home, so that's why he was so upset."

"The master tried to calm him down but ended up getting all worked up himself."

With the maid's explanation, Jason immediately understood. Isaac must have had something spicy, and without anyone around to soothe him properly, his distress had escalated.

Isaac's inability to handle spicy food was something he had inherited directly from him.
