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

Chapter 257

Jason’s voice was sharp with irritation, Estrella cringed under its weight.

She had lied simply to avoid Jason’s temper tantrum, not wanting to make a scene. Yet, here he was, well-informed of her whereabouts.

Clearing her throat, Estrella was about to speak when Jason cut in with a frosty tone, “Estrella, if you don’t want me to turn the tables upstairs and want to save dignity for everyone, you’ve got two minutes to get down here.”

Estrella’s face soured. Why, she thought indignantly, should he have any say over her actions? They had already signed the divorce papers; he had no hold over her anymore.

Then she glanced at the man sitting across from her, who looked honest and reliable but not her type, so she used Jason’s call as an excuse to apologize to her date and slip out of the diner after hastily paying the bill.

Soon, she was in the open-air parking lot, Jason’s car already waiting. The anger was palpable even through the open car window.

Squinting at him, Estrella wondered what right he had to be upset with her. Their eyes locked, and Jason’s glare was practically lethal

When Estrella turned to leave, Jason blocked her path and pushed her into the car. The car door slammed shut, and with a stony face, Jason drove off. Neither spoke. In battles like these, the first to speak usually lost. Estrella was under pressure, in a bad mood, and she wasn’t about to back down from a fight.

After a tense drive, they reached Jason’s upscale apartment complex. He dragged her out of the car and into the elevator. Once they reached his duplex penthouse, he pushed her inside. Stumbling, Estrella turned and threw her purse at him in frustration, “What are you trying to do?”

The purse hit him and fell to the floor, where he casually kicked it aside.
