30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 120

“Please, don’t mention it, Erin. If you ever need help again, I’m all in.” Estrella quipped with a twinkle in her eye that seemed to say, “Erin, you better not slip up, or I’ll have your hide.”

Erin returned the look with a genteel grin. “Well I’ll! Estrella, darling, do tell, how might I get our lovely Paula to call you ‘sister-in-law’?”

The corners of Estrella’s mouth lifted as she casually straightened Erin’s tie. “Erin, you’ve got a long way to go before you’re even in the same league as Jason.” So what if he was now the chairman of the Lamont family empire? He was still leagues behind Jason in her eyes, and not even worth a second glance.

“Oh! Is that right?” Erin leaned in closer. His voice was smooth as silk. “I have a feeling you’ll come to me for a favor one day.”

“We’ll just see about that, won’t we?” Estrella replied, with an eyebrow arching in challenge.

From the sidelines, Kristin’s blood boiled as she overheard Erin’s flirty banter with Estrella about getting Paula to call her “sister-in-law.” That bastard! Keith was running interference for him, but he was planning to covet her son’s wife? The Lamont family truly lacked any scruples – neither Hunter nor Janie could raise a decent human being.

Paula, with her eyes fixed on Jason, already made Kristin unhappy. Now Kristin knew that Erin seemed to have set his sights on Estrella, and she felt worse.

Kristin was well aware that Erin’s interest in Estrella wasn’t just about the girl – it was a power move to outdo her son. He was aiming to knock her son off his pedestal.

Kristin spat in Erin’s general direction and muttered under her breath, “As if you could ever measure up to my son. You really think too highly of yourself.”

When Erin returned to the dining room, Kristin greeted him with a deceptive smile and piled his plate high with food. “Erin, you look so thin. Have you been feeling alright? Maybe you should see a doctor.”

Before Erin could protest, Kristin piled on. “You and Jason are the same age. Jason’s been married for two years and is about to be a dad. You don’t even have a girlfriend. Could there be an issue? If there is, you should see a specialist sooner rather than later. I happen to know an excellent andrology doctor” She added helpfully as she placed an abalone in Erin’s bowl. Kristin cursed in her heart, “Take that! You dare to chase after my son’s wife! You’d better start taking care of yourself!”

Erin was flabbergasted. What was Jason’s mother playing at? Why was she suddenly serving him so much food, and each remark sharper than the last?
