30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 204

Their eyes locked, and Estrella, groggy with sleep, stared at Jason for a long moment before closing her eyes again, convinced she was dreaming. But the pressure on her wrist felt too real, too heavy.

When she opened her eyes again and saw Jason still in front of her, Estrella’s displeasure showed. With a frown, she said, “Jason, for crying out loud, I’m sick here. Have you no shame?”

At Estrella’s words, Jason was also unwell?”

“Oh, you think you’re the only one who’s Estrella struggled to free her wrists and commanded, “Get your hands off me.”

Jason did not remove his hands but instead looked into her eyes and asked, “Estrella, what if I told you I like you, and I don’t want a divorce? Can we start over?”

Bryce’s attentiveness to Estrella earlier that evening had sent Jason into a tizzy. Whether it was Korey or Bryce, he was actually quite bothered by them. Estrella was his, and his alone.

That’s how people can be sometimes they just can’t stand the thought of someone else coveting what’s theirs.

After staring unblinkingly at Jason for a long spell and seeing that he hadn’t disappeared, Estrella felt a headache coming on and turned her head away. Jason’s sudden seriousness was more than she could bear. She must be hallucinating from the fever to be witnessing this scene.

When Jason saw Estrella turn away, he gently took her chin to direct her gaze him. “Estrella.”

Still, Estrella refused to open her eyes to look at Jason. In the dead of night, he was up not sleeping but acting crazy with her. It was just because he saw her getting cozy with Bryce lately, and she had a video chat during the day that made him jealous.

Him saying he liked her didn’t mean squat unless he could do something wild like break a boulder on his chest or swallow a sword and come out unscathed – only then might she believe him.

“Estrella.”

After calling her name again and seeing that Estrella kept pretending to be asleep, Jason leaned in to kiss her. Estrella, in turn, quickly twisted her neck to avoid him.

The next second, there was a crack in her neck, and Estrella’s eyes flew open, furious. “Jason, when will you ever stop? Damn it, my neck!” She took a deep breath from the pain.

Jason wasn’t sure how to respond. He reached for his phone to call a doctor, but Estrella stopped him, “Don’t make a fuss in the middle of the night. Go back to your room. I’ll be fine after some sleep.”

Ignoring her, Jason gently prodded her neck. “Can you move your neck?”

Estrella cried out, and Jason quickly withdrew his hand. “Is it the bone that
