30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 9

Grandma sure didn't trust her grandson, did she?

Estrella, seeing the situation, also started piling food onto Jason's plate, saying, "Thanks for taking care of the agency stuff. You should eat up."

Jason shot her a frosty look, but Estrella just smiled at him, her eyes crinkling into slits. Having landed the legal proxy, her spirits were soaring.

Then, seizing the moment, Kristin chimed in, "Jason, Estrella, it's not often you guys come home. Why don't you stay over tonight?"

Amber added, "This old house has great vibes. You two stay the night, and who knows, Estrella might get pregnant."

She continued with a twinkle in her eye, "Jason, you put in a good effort later. Let's aim for twins."

Jason sighed. When all was said and done, the family just wanted them to hurry up and have a baby.

So, when they got back to the bedroom upstairs, Estrella asked, "So, are we doing this?"

Jason gave her an indifferent glance. "Estrella, can't you think of anything else?"

Estrella chuckled. "What else is there to think about when I am with you? Besides, would you be okay if it was with someone else?"

Jason stepped closer, pinching her cheek. "You really have no shame, do you?"

Estrella brushed his hand away and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're my husband. Why would I need any pretenses?" For her, having a child was far more important than maintaining her image. Besides, she had long since lost any image she had in Jason's eyes.

Looking down at her, Jason said, "Estrella, that's no way for a woman to behave."

"Nonsense," Estrella retorted. "I'm exactly that kind of woman."

Then, standing on her tiptoes, her lips almost brushed his as she called out, "Jason."

"Hmm?" Jason's response seemed to wind around her. Taking the cue, Estrella pressed her lips firmly to his.

With the softness of her kiss, Jason tensed, his arms wrapping around her waist. As he meant to push her away, his hands kneaded her instead. He was starting to lose control.

His body felt a surge of heat and restlessness, but Estrella's little scheming, as well as the intentions of his parents and grandparents, became clear once again. So, he pushed away Estrella and went straight to the bathroom.

In a split second, Estrella's patience exploded. She ripped off her slippers and hurled them towards the bathroom. "Jason, are you even a man?"

Jason actually preferred to handle things in the bathroom rather than touch her. Estrella felt humiliated.

Half an hour later, when Jason emerged from the bathroom, Estrella was already lying down, turned away from him. As Jason sat down next to her and accidentally touched her, Estrella spun around and kicked him, catching him off guard and sending him tumbling to the floor.

"Estrella." Jason roared in a low voice, but Estrella remained silent, her back still to him.

Rubbing his forehead, Jason knew she was genuinely angry this time. He sat beside her again, and when Estrella tried to kick him, he pinned her down, leaving her no room to move.

Knowing she was no match for Jason, Estrella propped herself up on the bed. "Fine, I'll leave if that's what you want." She couldn't accept the way things had gone with Jason just moments ago. No wife should have to endure such frustration.
