30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 362

Estrella stared at Jason for a long moment before breaking into a smile. "You'll find out when we get to the cemetery."

Her casual demeanor had Jason pulling her closer, muttering, "You're way too laid-back."

It seemed like she was the only one who could stay so calm about something this big.

Turning to him, Estrella looked up and said, "I'm so tired."

She then rested her head on Jason's shoulder.

Seeing her like that, Jason scooped her up and gently laid her next to Isaac, tucking her in with a blanket. He then lay down on the other side, tenderly stroking her face. Despite the chaos Catrina had caused, life had been pretty peaceful lately.

The next morning, after wrapping up a client meeting in her office, Sandy knocked on Estrella's door. "Ms. Estrella, there's someone here to see you. No appointment. She said her last name is Shen."

Shen?

Estrella furrowed her brows. "Let her in."

"Okay," Sandy replied, heading out to inform the visitor.

Moments later, the door opened again, and Holly walked in.

Estrella watched her until Holly pulled up a chair and sat across from her. Only then did Estrella set aside her documents.

Holly's visit was a surprise, but not entirely unexpected.

With a self-deprecating laugh, Holly admitted, "I never thought I'd be here, asking you this in person." She cut to the chase, "Estrella, can you drop the lawsuit against my mom?"

Before Estrella could respond, Holly continued, "I'm really sorry about what happened to your son. My mom was just... lost in the past with your dad."

Holly was smart to use Cole as an excuse and avoid pleading with Jason, who would never agree given her past threats against Estrella.

Holly's transparency only drew a smirk from Estrella. "Seven years ago, you framed me for something I didn’t do. Last year, you tried to pin Serene's attempted suicide on me, and now you've kidnapped my son. Your mom's 'moment of confusion' seems to last quite a while."

This wasn't just a moment of confusion; it was a lifetime of scheming.

Dropping her smile, Estrella's voice turned cold. "Holly, forget about dropping the case. If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

Harming her son and expecting forgiveness was a fantasy.

Holly's demeanor darkened. "Estrella, I've already served time for that fire seven years ago, and Serene's incident was an accident. No one wanted to hurt her."

Estrella shot back, "Holly, you know me. Do I seem like someone who's easy to talk to?"

She had never been a saint and would never let anyone who threatened her or Isaac off the hook. If she hadn't been holding back, Catrina would already be locked up.

Meeting Estrella's gaze, Holly said, "Estrella, holding onto this grudge is only making things harder for both of us." She paused, then stood up abruptly.

Estrella, anticipating her next move, quickly said, "Your apologies mean nothing to me. If you want to reduce your mom's sentence, you should be finding a good lawyer, not wasting your time here."

Jason grinned. "Of course, I’ll ask. And yes, we’re getting that license."

Estrella pushed. "Then ask me now!"

Jason, amused by her eagerness, took her hand gently in his, massaging her palm. "Silly girl, we don’t have anything prepared. How can we get engaged like this?"

Estrella replied, half-serious, half-joking, "All you need is to say the words. Everything else is just icing on the cake." She squinted at him. "Or is it that you don’t want to get married and are thinking of finding someone else?"

Jason's expression tightened. "Don't say nonsense."

Without another word, Jason put aside his work, got down on one knee, and held her hand, looking up at her. "Estrella, will you marry me?"

Faced with Jason's earnest proposal, Estrella nodded solemnly. "I will marry you."

There was no ring, no flowers, not even a witness, but she accepted Jason's proposal right there.

After all, as long as it was him, that was enough.

Estrella said yes to his proposal, and Jason passionately kissed the back of her hand.

Then, as Estrella helped Jason to his feet, she wrapped him in a tight embrace.

Resting her chin on his shoulder, she whispered, "Let's make it official at city hall tomorrow!"
