Chapter 149
Jason glanced down at her, with a hint of a question in his eyes.
Estrella, on the verge of saying something, finally just smiled reassuringly, “It’ll happen when it’s meant to be.”
With a noncommittal grunt, Jason bent down and kissed her cheek. As he moved to kiss her lips, Estrella pushed him away, “You reek of booze. Go shower first, and I’ll make you some tea.”
“Damn, can’t even get a kiss now,” Jason grumbled playfully, pinching her cheek before taking the clothes she had pressed into his arms and heading to the bathroom.
Watching Jason’s retreating figure, Estrella couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Soon after, when Jason emerged from the bathroom, Estrella had brewed the tea and even prepared a fruit platter for him, playing the part of the doting wife for a change.
Jason wrapped his arms around her. As he was about to kiss her, Estrella blocked him, “Eat something first to line your stomach.”
Jason eyed her suspiciously. Estrella picked up a slice of fruit with a smirk, “If you don’t fill up, I doubt you’ll have the stamina later.”
Jason was momentarily speechless-wasn’t she always the one begging for mercy?
Estrella fed him fruit, and after a few bites, Jason’s kisses became more urgent, though not as fierce, betraying the weight on his mind. With her arms around his neck, Estrella whispered, “Still not over it? Should I go out and pick up a kid for us right now?”
