Chapter 290

Jason was in a huff. Estrella laughed and teased, “Can’t charm my way out of this one?”

Jason turned around and pinched her chin, saying, “If you really wanna make it up to me, let’s go get our marriage license tomorrow.”

Estrella’s laughter filled the room. She knew it. There he was, making a mountain out of a molehill again, trying to talk her into making it official.

Eyeing Jason for a moment, Estrella said, “Let’s do it. Let’s go get that license right now.”

Jason’s eyes lit up like Christmas lights. “For real?”

Noticing his little schemes, Estrella couldn’t help but laugh and pinch his cheek. Jason, your little plots are written all over your face. You can keep dreaming about that license.”

When her drifted off without a fuss over him, Jason couldn’t resist. He lay down beside her and enveloped her in his arms. “You heartless thing, how can you be sleepy at a time like this?”

He did go straight to the Dorvold family’s place after getting off the plane. It’s true that upon hearing she was at Waterfall Acres, he immediately went to the supermarket to buy groceries.

Jason pressed down on her, and Estrella turned to face him. Just as she was about to wrap her arms around his neck, her phone rang by the pillow. It was her mom, Autumn.

Estrella answered, “Hey, Mom.”

Autumn asked, “Estrella, have you and Isaac had lunch?” Then she added, “By the way, Jason was looking for you and Isaac at the house
