30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 6

He just couldn't stay away after all. It looked like Landon had put the squeeze on him.

Estrella paused for a moment before Marie, bubbling with excitement, said, "I just went upstairs to change the linens. Saw Mr. Jason taking clothes to the bathroom. Looks like he's not leaving tonight."

When her husband came home, even the servants were thrilled for her, as if she were a queen finally graced by the king's favor. Estrella couldn't help but mock herself internally.

After slipping into her slippers, Estrella said with a smile, "Alright, I'll go up and have a look."

She pushed open the bedroom door to find Jason just coming out of the bathroom. Estrella couldn't help but laugh, "You're back. Wait for me, I'm going to take a shower."

Jason looked disgusted, "Estrella, can't you think of anything else?"

Estrella chuckled, "What's so weird about taking a shower when I get home? And anyway, if I don’t have that kind of urge upon seeing you, you'd be the one crying."

Jason fell silent.

Forty-some minutes later, Estrella emerged from the shower refreshed and saw Jason lounging on the bed with a book, his gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.

Estrella, feeling fresh and invigorated, approached him, hitching up the leg of her pants and straddling Jason's lap.

As he looked up, Estrella, ignoring his gaze, lightly unknotted the belt of his robe with a flick of her finger.

With his book in hand, Jason looked at Estrella and commanded without expression, "Get off."

Estrella stopped undressing him and asked, "Jason, are you not up for it? If that's the case, I can go with you to the doctor."

Jason shot her a cold glance, and she quickly changed the subject, "Don't want to talk about that, huh? Okay, okay, then let's discuss something else, something more serious."

Jason put down his book and spoke with rare gentleness, "Have you made up your mind about the divorce?"

Estrella retorted, "Can't you think of something positive?" With that, she scooted closer.

Jason looked down and saw Estrella wrapping her arms around his neck, "What about the legal counsel for Nelson International? Could we..."

She was interrupted as Jason cut her off, "Don't even think about it."

"Come on!" Estrella protested. "What's the difference between other firms and Justice Guardians LLP? Is there any condition we can discuss?"

Jason eyed her, a smirk forming on his lips, "Negotiate? With an unwritten rule? Estrella, I wouldn't take you on even if you paid me, let alone me paying you."

Estrella was stunning, the kind that haunted your dreams, but he saw right through her little schemes the moment she walked in.

Jason's aloofness was palpable as Estrella played with his earlobe, "How about I pay the fee and you give me a baby?"

Jason looked up, "So your son can inherit my fortune? Keep dreaming."
