30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 118

“Absolutely, absolutely, I swear it a hundred, no, a thousand times over,” Estrella conceded with feigned enthusiasm, as Jason bent down to kiss her lips once more.

Only after Estrella’s repeated promises that she would never set foot in another massage parlor and would not so much as glance at another man did Jason reluctantly release her.

Once freed, Estrella stretched out her leg and kicked Jason, cursing, “You dog.”

As Jason made to move towards her, Estrella, how frightened, braced her right hand against his chest. “I was talking about myself. I’m the dog,” she declared.

Jason couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity, and instead of reprimanding her further, he pulled her into his embrace.

On guard, Estrella heard him say, “Not gonna tease you,” but then he pinched her chin as a warning, “Remember the promises you’ve just made, Estrella. Don’t forget them, or crying your eyes out won’t help you next time.”

Instead of responding directly, Estrella playfully scraped him with her toenail.

“Hmm?” Jason raised an eyebrow.

“In my eyes, from now on, there’s no one but you,” Estrella assured him.

Satisfied, Jason hugged her tightly, and then asked, “Have you eaten tonight?”

Drowsily, Estrella replied, “Yeah, I have.”

“I’ll go downstairs and bring up some ginger tea,” he offered.

“No need. I’m not so frail,” she protested.

Regardless, Jason went downstairs and insisted that Estrella drink a large bowl of the fortifying ginger tea before allowing her to sleep.

The next morning, when Estrella woke up, Jason was already dressed and on the phone by the floor-to-ceiling window. After he hung up and saw Estrella awake, he approached and tenderly stroked her forehead. “Feeling alright?”

He was worried she might have caught a cold after leaving the massage parlor in shorts, despite the ginger tea.
