30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 216

Kristin and Keith didn’t expect Jason to come at this time. For a moment, Kristin felt awkward. When Kristin looked at Estrella, Kristin used her eyes to explain that she didn’t call Jason, and she didn’t know why he came.

timing couldn’t be better. It happens to be dinner time. Why don’t you take Estrella out for a bite? I owe her a formal meal and an apology once I’m out of this hospital bed.”

Jason acknowledged with a nonchalant ‘hm’ and agreed to the plan.

Fearing Estrella might decline the offer, Kristin quickly chimed in, “Estrella, it’s about that time for dinner anyway.

Jason simply replied, “I’ll drive you home.”
