Chapter 3

At that moment, he was clad in a pale gray pajama set, hand brushing through his hair that was neither dry nor wet, leaving the collar casually open to bare his chiseled chest.

Jason rubbed his hair nonchalantly as he said with a poker face, “Don’t bother, even in your birthday suit, it’s pointless.”

Jason’s dismissive tone slightly dimmed the sparkle in Estrella’s eyes. She slowly lifted the sheer fabric, her voice steady as she said, “Jason, just cooperate and let’s get this task done. After that, you can do whatever you want. I won’t intrude on your life.”

Sperm bank on legs?

Forced to meet Jason’s gaze, Estrella was at a loss for words.

Their eyes locked, and as she saw her reflection in his eyes, Jason suddenly leaned closer, so close their lips were almost touching.

At Jason’s advance, Estrella instinctively struggled. That was when Jason seemed to snap out of it and straightened up, his voice icy as he said, “Estrella, dreaming of climbing the social ladder through having my child?”

He paused before adding, “You’re hardly qualified.”
