Chapter 242

Staring into Jason’s eyes, Estrella saw how wrapped up he was in the moment. Seizing the opportunity, she bit him playfully and then pushed him away with a raised hand. “Getting a little too comfortable, aren’t we? Jason, that’s harassment. Don’t think I won’t sue you.”

Jason raised his hand and gently touched her slightly swollen lips. “Or you could harass me back,” he said with a shameless grin.

Estrella just stared at him, that grin plastered across his face. After a moment, she said languidly, “Jason, haven’t you been a bit too cheerful these past days? Have you forgotten I cheated on you? That I have a son?” The man was too cocky; she needed to douse him with a reality check.

Right on cue, Jason winced at the reminder. It wasn’t that Isaac wasn’t adorable, but the thought of Estrella with someone else made him green with jealousy. Clearing his throat, he conceded, “I accept it,” and added, “I’ll treat Isaac as my own, and protect him as I would myself.”

Jason had his doubts, but he knew this wasn’t the time to delve into those with Estrella. Right now, his priority was to set the right tone to charm Estrella and win her back.

Estrella couldn’t help but laugh at his naivety. “Treat him as your own? Dream on, Jason. If you want a son, go have one yourself.” With that, she grabbed her purse from the table.

Jason quickly reached out to stop her. “Do you really have to go? Can’t you stay a little longer? I promise I won’t do anything.”

“Let go, Jason, or I’ll scream.”

His promises were empty as far as she was concerned. If she didn’t leave now, she was certain things would escalate between them. After all, neither were saints or particularly concerned with maintaining image.

With a final warning glance at Jason, Estrella shook off his hand and headed for the d “If you pull any more stunts, you can forget about ever seeing me again.”

Jason muttered under his breath about her lack of gratitude, but he followed her out the door nonetheless.
