Jason leaned in, his face inches from hers, but Estrella was quick to pinch his jaw. “Jason,” she chided, her tone teasing yet firm, “you’re getting shameless by the minute.”

Without another word, she bit down hard on his jawline, then pressed a button in the car, pushed his face away, and strutted out with an air of triumph.

Seeing this, Kristin looked at him with a serious expression and said, “Son, you better start raking in the dough to support Estrella and my future grandchild.”

Estrella glanced back to see Jason still nursing his cheek and let out a chuckle. “Goodbye, Jason. Don’t bother seeing me off.”

After exchanging goodbyes, Kristin linked arms with Estrella, her face blooming like spring flowers. “Estrella, I saw some adorable cribs and baby clothes last time I was out. I’ll take you to check them out.”

Estrella couldn’t help but lose her smile. So that was why Kristin insisted on shopping

today.

“Kristin, it’s too early for that,” Estrella protested gently.

“Not at all,” Kristin insisted with a knowing smile. “Time flies, and babies come quickly. Once you start, there’s no stopping. I’ll be holding my grandchild in no time.”

As they entered the department store, Jason drove back to the office, his heart lighter than usual after the playful exchange.
