30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 229

Estrella shot Jason a look of disdain as she noticed his influence over Isaac. It had only been a short while, and Jason had already won Isaac over. Isaac was now keeping secrets from her, avoiding telling the truth.

Skeptically, she sized Jason up from head to toe as he rose languidly from the couch. “I should’ve known you’re not just good at charming women, but you can also sweet-talk kids,” she remarked.

Isaac was her flesh and blood; no one knew her son better than she did. Sweet as Isaac was, he was not one to easily let people into his heart. Yet, Jason had managed to sway him so effortlessly.

Jason bristled at Estrella’s words, shooting her a frosty glance. “If I were that persuasive, would you still be hell-bent on divorcing me?”

After a moment of silence, Estrella waved off the verbal sparring. “Cut the chitchat, Jason. Don’t you have to head to the office? You go on.”

Jason, with his hands buried in his pockets, gazed casually at Estrella. Some things never changed.

He stared blankly at her for a while before his gaze shifted to Isaac. The more Jason watched Isaac, the more he saw Isaac as a two-year-old toddler, especially after their recent interaction. He found Isaac to be brighter than most kids his age, recognizing many words and reading simple messages on his own.

Estrella tensed up as Jason fixed his serious gaze on Isaac, a protective instinct kicking in. She crossed her arms and chuckled, “Are you doubting Isaac’s identity? Thinking that he’s your son?”

Before Jason could respond, Estrella plucked two strands of Isaac’s hair and handed them to him. “If you don’t believe me, go test these yourself.”

Isaac yelped in pain as his hair was plucked, covering his head with his hands.

Jason looked at Estrella as if she were a fool, making no move to take the strands of hair from her.

Estrella’s attention was diverted, and the hairs were whisked away by a gust of wind. Seeing this,
