30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 244

Though weary, he relished the comfort in the tenderness of the moment.

This time, Estrella didn’t resist. She simply watched him, letting him kiss her, showing no reaction. They had argued and hurled insults. What Jason was doing made her feel very weary.
