30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 230

Estrella frowned as she looked up from her laptop. “What’s up?”

Jesse hesitated, sensing that she might have opened a can of worms by bringing up the topic. But Estrella was waiting for an answer, so Jesse had no choice but to spill the beans. “Jason got into a fight with Gay last night and shattered both Gay’s legs.”

Estrella’s expression darkened. Just moments ago, Jason was here and didn’t breathe a word about it.

Estrella’s brow furrowed, and Jesse complained, “It’s a bit late to do that, isn’t it?”

She then glanced at Isaac, “Isaac, what’s with you? Why aren’t you calling me ‘Dad’ anymore? Call me ‘Dad’, sweetie.”

Isaac shook his head at her, “It’s not Dad, it’s Jesse.”

Jesse’s patience wore thin, and she turned to Estrella, “What’s going on here? How come overnight this kid’s whole demeanor has changed?”

Estrella wasn’t pleased either, “Who knows what kind of trick Jason played on him. They spent some time together, and now the kid’s acting like Jason’s his new dad.”

Jesse let out a frustrated sigh, “Damn, seems like there’s no competing with blood ties.”

Estrella retorted, “What blood ties could Isaac possibly share with him? Isaac’s mine and mine alone.”

Jesse nodded in agreement, “Of course, he’s all yours.”

Still, the inexplicable closeness between Isaac and Jason left Estrella feeling helpless. But with a mountain of work to get through, including helping Serene dig into a seven-year-old fire incident, Estrella had no time to dwell on Jason. She took advantage of Jesse entertaining Isaac, and got back to organizing her case files. She was determined to resolve the land and water pollution issue at Glimmering Lake, and to expose the complicit Galactic Enterprises, along with any higher-ups who had been covering for them.
