Chapter 176

Estrella sighed, her voice edged with impatiende, “I’m not pregnant.”

And she thought to herself. “Even if I was, it wouldn’t be yours.”

Jason, ever the calm in the storm, said gently, “Let’s get you checked out, and we’ll know for sure.” He added, “I haven’t been with any other woman, and I won’t be. Just do as I say and get checked. If it turns out you are pregnant, there are things we’ll need to focus on.” The more Estrella denied it, the more Jason was convinced she was indeed expecting. “You have your life, and I have mine,” she remarked nonchalantly.

Seeing that she was still miffed, Jason tried to soothe her, “I promise, no more Holly. I won’t have anything to do with her.”

Estrella’s alarm bells went off. Why was he making promises she hadn’t asked for? All he needed to do was finalize the divorce. She raised her hand to stop him, “Hold up, don’t try to butter me up with sweet nothings. You can’t even sort out your issues with Serene, and you’re here talking about Holly?”

Before Jason could respond, Estrella unbuckled her seatbelt, “So, if the test is negative, you’ll come with me to file the papers?”

“Let’s get the test done first,” Jason replied.

As Estrella stepped out of the car, she stumbled slightly but Jason, with his quick reflexes, caught her arm and steadied her. After straightening her clothes, Estrella glanced at him and continued walking with her back straight.

Jason followed, chuckling, “Feeling guilty?”
