30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 252

Hearing this, Jason came to a dead halt. He stood still for a moment, then turned to lock eyes with Keith.

The look on Jason’s face had definitely lost its earlier warmth, and his gaze towards Keith had frosted over.

Keith went for the emotional angle, “You know better than anyone if there’s a future for you and Estrella. And, come on, if you were really honest with yourself, could you truly accept her child?”

“I can,” Jason replied flatly.

In Keith eyes, Jason was always the level-headed one, not someone to be ensnared by emotions. But this time, Jason had gone too far, accepting something most men couldn’t stomach.

When Jason didn’t rise to the bait about the child, Keith played the sympathy card, “I’m getting on in years, Jason. Can’t you indulge an old man’s last wishes? Besides, you haven’t even met the girl I’m talking about. How can you be so sure you won’t like her?”

“Other than Estrella, I don’t have eyes for anyone else.”

Keith’s face darkened. “Are you trying to be the death of me? Do you want me to leave this world without peace?”

Jason’s retort was nonchalant, “You’ve had a life of smooth sailing, calling the shots. Not many can boast of such glory. So even if this one thing doesn’t go your way, I doubt you’ll have any regrets.” That was Jason’s way of saying, deal with it.

Keith fumed, “You bastard, you’re going to be the death of me.”

Jason remained unfazed. “If I am, then so be it. What can I do? Nobody lives forever, and a hundred years from now, we’ll still have to face each other.”

Kristin, trying not to laugh at Jason’s comebacks, thought to herself that Keith should have kept his nose out of her son’s business. Keith had summoned Jason back for a blind date, and now, after getting an earful, hopefully, Keith would drop this.
