30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 125

After Jason finished his apology, Estrella didn’t respond for a long time. When Jason looked down, he saw that she had already nestled into his arms and fallen asleep.

Typical Estrella…

When it came to being carefree, Estrella was second to none.

The next morning, they woke up as if nothing had happened the night before. Estrella hadn’t been haunted by memories from years ago, nor had Jason.

Jason stood by the closet and saw Estrella emerge from the bathroom. “Come help me with my tie, will you?”

“Do I get a tip?” Estrella teased.

Jason reached out and pulled her close. “Sure you do.”

Estrella, now snugly in his embrace, looked up at him, her eyes catching the fervent gaze in his. A lazy smile played on her lips as she started to work on his tie.

Six years ago, not long after Jason had joined the company, Estrella had learned to tie a tie just for him. But they’d fallen out soon after, so her skills were a bit rusty now.

Estrella focused on the tie. The ring on her left ring finger glittered, but she paid it no mind. After a bit of fumbling, the knot was finally perfect. She straightened Jason’s collar. “There you go, boss. Ready to go make that money.”

Jason pinched her chin and leaned down to kiss her. Estrella tensed slightly. “That’s the tip? Jason, you’ve got no shame.”

“You good? Consider it delivered.”
