Chapter 266

At the law firm, Estrella had just wrapped up the Glimmering Lake case and was clocking out when she saw Jason had already arrived outside. She reached for the rear car door, but it wouldn’t budge. When she tried the passenger door, she finally got it open.

Jason said, “I just picked up Isaac. Mom said he’s not coming with us tonight, so hop in the front.”

Every time Estrella rode with Isaac, she would sit in the back to keep Isaac company.

Estrella got into the car. As he reached over to help her with the seatbelt, Jason leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips.

Estrella noticed he had a bit of a kissing addiction these days. Instead of pushing him away, she waited until he was lost in the moment and bit him hard before shoving him back.

Jason clutched his mouth and inhaled sharply, “You little heartbreaker, not a bit of mercy in you.” He licked his lip and removed his hand, revealing fresh blood trickling from the bite.

Estrella laughed at the sight, “Wow! I actually drew blood.”

Starting the car, Jason said, “You’re responsible for this.”

Estrella replied nonchalantly, “What are you going to do, bite me back?”

Jason said firmly, “Stay with me tonight at Sandalwood Oasis.” As he spoke, he took her! hand.
