Chapter 133

Estrella watched Kristin with a resigned smile. “It’s not really up to us, is it? And honestly, I’m kind of fed up with the way things are going.”

It had been two and a half years of one problem after another. The issues between her and Jason seemed endless, and she was truly ready to throw in the towel. If those fortune-tellers were right, then she might as well resign herself to a solitary life!

Jason’s attitude forced Estrella to rewrite her entire life plan, including whether to have children or even embrace motherhood. It had become a trivial concern.

“Estrella, honey, let’s not get worked up over this. How about we make Jason pamper us for a change, huh?”

Estrella just chuckled without responding. The thought of Jason trying to charm her was laughable. She had given up on such daydreams.

Kristin, sensing her daughter’s silence, felt uneasy. She knew all too well that when a woman’s heart was wounded, nothing could mend it.

Kristin just adored Estrella and only wanted her as a daughter-in-law. None of the other women, be it Serene or those minor celebrities caught her eye. Even if Holly were still around, she wouldn’t have approved of her son marrying anyone else.

Kristin was distracted and served grapes without washing them, lost in her thoughts about needing to talk to Autumn to persuade Estrella.

She was painfully aware that the majority of Jason and Estrella’s marital issues were due to her son’s behavior. Take the wedding, for example. He hadn’t organized a thing, not even a wedding portrait. Any other girl would have walked out on him long ago.
