30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 378

Jason remained unruffled, "That's not your type."

Estrella chuckled, "Good looks, great body, young, and a sweet talker—how is he not my type?"

Jason glanced at Isaac, "Ms. Estrella, your son is right here. Keep it PG, will you?"

Estrella rolled her eyes, snatched back her phone, stuffed her hands into her pockets, and walked off.

Soon, Jason was at the dartboard, hitting bullseye after bullseye, drawing squeals of admiration from the nearby girls.

Amused, Estrella sauntered over, grabbed a handful of darts, and threw them. Thud, thud, thud—Jason's darts fell off the board, while hers stuck firmly in place.

The girls gazed at her with starry eyes, bubbling with excitement, "Miss, you're so cool! Can we add you on Messenger?"

Before Estrella could reach for her phone, Isaac stealthily extended his hand, offering his smartwatch, "You can add my Messenger."

The girls paused, then burst into laughter at the sight of Isaac's smartwatch's QR code.

Jason's face was a picture of disdain.

After Isaac added the girls on Messenger, Jason couldn't help but comment, "Like mother, like son."

Unfazed, Estrella slung an arm around Isaac's shoulders and, in her flip-flops, led him to find more fun activities, with Jason trailing behind, carrying snacks and drinks.

It wasn't until after 5 p.m. that Isaac finally left the amusement park, thoroughly content.

Seeing Estrella hadn't freshened up and was still in flip-flops after a whole day at the park, Jason said, "Aren't you worried about your stocks crashing?"

Estrella shrugged, "Let them crash! I'll just find a man to support me."

Clearly jealous, Jason stuffed a lollipop Isaac had licked a couple of times into her mouth.

Estrella didn't mind and sucked on it contentedly.

The setting sun bathed the family of three. Isaac, feeling their warmth, couldn't help but jump around and, seizing the moment, lifted his legs, pretending to fly with their support.

Seeing this, Estrella picked up the pace, "We're flying! My son's flying!"

Caught up in the moment, Jason joined in, holding onto Isaac's other hand and running alongside Estrella.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Isaac, lifted high, laughed out loud, their shadows casting a tender image on the ground.

Driving back to downtown, Jason picked a restaurant that both Estrella and Isaac liked and took them out for dinner.

Isaac was happy, just like when he was little, laughing at anything Jason and Estrella said. If they raised their voices even a bit, Isaac's happiness soared.

He loved the excitement, just as he always had.

After dinner, Jason drove them back to the Dorvold family’s home.

Ravenwood's nightscape was as bustling and bright as ever. Jason, hands on the wheel, glanced in the rearview mirror to see both Estrella and Isaac asleep.

Estrella kissed him with a smile, "Yes, you should."

Isaac hugged her neck, playfully whining, "But mom, you're the best."

Estrella laughed, kissed Isaac again, her heart warming at the moment.

In the living room, Autumn saw Estrella walk in with Isaac in her arms and quickly scooped him up, eyeing Estrella with mock disapproval. "You've been out all day without even washing your face. You're getting sloppier by the minute."

Estrella flashed a cheeky grin. "Beauty like mine doesn't need upkeep!"

"Yeah, yeah, beauty queen," Autumn teased back, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Now go wash up and get some sleep. I'll take Isaac to bed."

Autumn was always soft-hearted when it came to Estrella's well-being. After a bit of back-and-forth banter, Estrella headed upstairs to her room, leaving Autumn to care for Isaac.

Post-shower and clothed in fresh pajamas, Estrella noticed several emails from Joshua containing reports for tomorrow's meetings. With her hair still damp, she settled in front of her computer, ready to put in extra hours.

As the weekend wrapped up and the holiday came to an end, Estrella plunged back into her work routine.

One afternoon, stepping out of Mr. Dill's office, she was met with his beaming smile. "Estrella, take this document straight to Korey for his signature. You two are old chums, so I bet it'll get signed much quicker with you handling it."

"With pleasure, Mr. Dill. I'll head up now," Estrella responded with a smile.

"Come in," came Korey's warm voice in response to her knock. Pushing the door open, Estrella found Korey buried in his work. She walked in and, with a gentle greeting, pulled up a chair across his desk. "Hey, Korey."

Her approach was casual, a testament to their familiar rapport, yet she couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement at the business at hand.
