30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 26

Jason cast an indifferent glance at her, a look that seemed to suggest she was

overstepping her bounds.

“You cooking for me?” Estrella scoffed. “Don’t go chopping off your fingers now. I’d hate to have to rush you to the ER.”

Jason had never done so much as set a table, so what could he possibly whip up in the kitchen? Besides, Jason was way out of her league with his high and mighty attitude. If he really felt guilty and wanted to make it up to her, well, having a child together would settle the score.

Jason threw her a sudden side-eye, prompting Estrella to quickly backtrack, “Alright, alright, I’ll take your generous offer. I’m off to take a shower. I haven’t eaten since lunch. either, so make it a hearty one with some meat, will you?” With her instructions laid out, Estrella yawned her way upstairs.

In the kitchen, Jason set his phone to a video and started rummaging through the fridge for ingredients.

Recalling a visit to the Dorvold family home, Autumn had mentioned Estrella’s delicate stomach and the importance of her eating regularly. Jason hadn’t commented at the time, but Autumn’s words had resonated deep within him.

Now, in the dead of night, he opted for simplicity and settled on making spaghetti-the intricacies of gourmet cooking were beyond him at this hour.

He sliced up some roast beef, threw in a bit of onion and garlic, and considered adding some chili oil for a kick. But then, remembering Estrella’s palate, he reluctantly put the

bottle back.

Estrella descended the stairs at some point, now dressed in a pale pink nightgown with a large bow headband, her presence seemingly ethereal. Her arms crossed, she leaned casually against the doorframe, the hint of a smile playing on her lips.

As Jason sprinkled onions into the pot, he turned to get a plate and caught Estrella watching him silently from the doorway. His face darkened. “Could you make some noise next time?”

Her smile widening, Estrella sauntered over, her curls bouncing with each step. She was enchanting tonight.

Side by side with Jason, she glanced at the beef spaghetti that turned out quite alright and playfully bumped him with her hip. “Can I ask you something?”

Jason gave her a look but kept ladling out the spaghetti, ignoring her.

Her grin grew as she probed, “Why didn’t you answer the question Jesse asked you
