30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 108

With a faint smile on his lips, Jason watched as Estrella ate the snack. “What are you looking at me for? Next time, I’ll take you out for a bite, easy as that.”

Jason chuckled. After the laughter subsided, he rose languidly from the couch. “Come on, let’s go see if Mom can school me on how to properly dote on my wife.”

Instead of tending to pressing matters, he had come home only to be lectured all evening by Kristin, while Estrella seemed to be enjoying the show.

“I’m not hungry,” Estrella declared. But no sooner had she finished speaking than Jason scooped her up and headed for the dining room, seating her at the table.

Kristin, sensing a moment brewing, quickly followed them.

Jason then served up a heaping bowl of sweet dessert soup for Estrella and piled her plate with a hefty serving of a late-night snack. “Eat up,” he commanded, before turning to Kristin with a questioning look. “Is this how Korey takes care of her?”

Kristin shook her head vehemently, convinced that her son was being too forceful, almost beyond redemption. This wasn’t tender care. It felt more like a threat.

Estrella, sensing Jason’s irritation and his intent to tease her, gave his leg a not-too-gentle kick. “Cut it out,” she protested.

Jason shot her a cold glare. “Estrella, if you don’t finish that, don’t bother coming back to bed.” If she had such a good time out with others, she could surely eat a bit more back

home.

Estrella just threw a nut shell at him.

Kristin, noting Jason’s mood, spoke up displeased. “Have my words all evening been in vain? I told you to treat Estrella nicely, not to threaten her. Son, if you keep this up, you might just lose your wife for good one day.”

As Kristin’s words hung in the air and Estrella, barefoot, made to leave, Jason’s hand shot out to grab her arm. “Where do you think you’re going without shoes?”

He softened his tone then. “I haven’t had my dinner yet. You can at least keep me company while I eat, can’t you?”
