30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Estrella was caught off guard for a moment. Did Jason really know what he was doing?

As Estrella’s surprise registered, Jason’s eyelashes fluttered slightly before he came back to himself and let go of her, saying, “You’re always talking about wanting to have children, aren’t you? What, are you still waiting for me to serve you?”

Estrella snapped back to reality, reaching for the buttons of his hospital gown while casually asking, “In your current state, can you even do it?”

Jason really wanted to sew Estrella’s mouth shut with needle and thread. Annoyed, her jerked his hand away from her, “You sure have a knack for stripping people.”

Then he changed the subject, “We’ll talk about the drugging incident when your folks come by tomorrow.”

Estrella landed with a thump on a nearby chair after being pushed aside and frowned, “Jason, you’re taking the fun out of this.”

Jason could mess with anyone he wanted, but not with Estrella’s mom and dad. They were her lifeline, and her absolute limit.

Jason looked at her impassively, “Weren’t you scared when you drugged me?”

With that, he pulled a bottle of pills from under his pillow and tossed it to Estrella, “Either take these now or let your parents be the judge.”

Catching the pills Jason flung at her, Estrella saw they were laxatives and felt a surge of anger. She had to suppress her rage, grinding her teeth she said, “Fine, Jason, you won.” Estrella would rather stay in the hospital for a few days than endure her mother’s tearful scolding.

Then, she poured the pills into her palm and was about to throw them into her mouth.

Seeing Estrella about to swallow the pills, Jason once again grabbed a pillow and, without too much force, hit her again..

The pills scattered across the floor, and when Estrella looked up at him, Jason said indifferently, “I’m not as vengeful as you.”

Estrella burst into laughter, “If you can’t bear it, just say so.”

Jason swept her with a cold glance, and Estrella quickly mimed zipping her lips, falling silent.
