Chapter 190

Jason suddenly brought up the past, leaving Estrella rubbing her temples, at a loss for words. She hadn’t accepted a ride from Jason earlier precisely to avoid being alone with him and dredging up old memories. After all, it was all water under the bridge now.

Releasing her temple, Estrella glanced at Jason and said nonchalantly, “Why did I have to tell you? Maybe I just fancy playing the solo parent, you know.”

Even after three years, Estrella hadn’t changed. She was laid-back, never sweating the small stuff with anyone or anything-except, of course, when it came to her child and her career.

Her candor left Jason speechless. Three years had nearly erased his memory of how Estrella never minced her words, never giving you the satisfaction of hearing what you wanted.

Jason shot her an indifferent look before asking, “Don’t you have any questions for me? Nothing you want to say?”

He figured she must have a lot to get off her chest, maybe even anger and reproach. The hotel lobby wasn’t the place for it, but now he was giving her the opportunity to vent.

Hearing his words, Estrella just and replied, “That’s all ancient history. I’ve forgotten all about it.”

Then, looking directly at Jason, she added coolly, “Jason, you should forget it too.”

Why bring up unhappy memories? Besides, after such a long time apart, there was no need to revisit the past.

Estrella’s dismissive attitude stuck in Jason’s craw. He had waited for her at the hotel entrance for a long time, hoping for a serious conversation and to apologize for past wrongs. It was his fault he hadn’t shown up at the airport as promised, and it was his fault they hadn’t talked as he said they would. He hadn’t known she was hospitalized after a miscarriage; missing that had been his mistake too.

But Estrella wouldn’t mention the past and seemed impatient whenever he brought it up. Suddenly, Jason found himself at a loss for words, his apologies lodged in his throat, unspoken. She didn’t care for his mea culpas.
