30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 140

Jason’s right hand tenderly caressed her face. He broke the silence with an uncharacteristically gentle inquiry, “Lost the case?”

That just didn’t make any sense. The court proceedings had only just begun. Estrella was charging the defendant with intentional harm and murder. Such a lawsuit wouldn’t usually be resolved so quickly.

Propping herself up slightly, Estrella, lay on her side on the bed, gazing up at Jason to complain, “The defendant punctured all four of my tires. What a jerk.”

One would have been bad enough, but all four? The thought still irked Estrella.

Jason’s expression darkened as he listened to her, his grip tightening on her hand.

Jason’s gloomy face softened into a smile as he teased, “It’s rare to see you this riled up. You can’t even sleep.”

Jason insisted, “At least go eat something.”
