Chapter 105

Eyes locked, Jason teased, “Still not satisfied?”

Estrella stretched out her leg and playfully scraped his shin with her painted toenail, signaling her annoyance at his comment. Jason chuckled and pulled her into his embrace.

Wearily, Estrella warned, “Just so you know, Jason, if it doesn’t work out, any kids are mine.” With the main task accomplished, Estrella naturally started thinking about the future.

Jason laughed off the remark, “Don’t even think about it.” Part ways? Over his dead body-she wouldn’t get rid of him that easily. With that, he hugged Estrella even tighter.

Too tired to argue, Estrella simply closed her eyes. Jason looked down at her, smiling to himself, and glanced at the clock it was 4 a.m.

The next morning, as sunlight spilled into the room, Estrella felt drained and refused to leave the bed. Jason, equally motionless, lay beside her until the sounds of the house staff bustling in the yard roused Estrella from her slumber.

Catching sight of the disarray in the bed, she remembered everything from the previous night. That bastard Jason had gone ahead and slept with her without any warning.

She already forgot about the whole thing about having kids.

Turning her head away, every part of her body ached, and even opening her eyes felt exhausting. As she was about to drift off again, reminiscing how Jason had started awkwardly the night before before finding his rhythm, she was abruptly interrupted by a hand snaking around her waist, pulling her close.

On alert, Estrella snapped, “Enough is enough.”

Jason just laughed at her warning, gently massaging her waist. “Aren’t you the expert? Weren’t you going to be my mentor? Now you’re telling me you can’t handle my moves?”

Estrella felt like she was being mocked. With a disdainful glance, she retorted, “Why don’t you work on your technique instead of just brute force?”

“Sure,” Jason agreed. “Be home early tonight.”

A chill ran down Estrella’s back, and she quickly turned away from him, deciding to pull an all-nighter at work.
