30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband ( Estrella and Jason )
Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Their gazes locked, and as Kristin approached Estrella, she seemed oblivious to Isaac’s presence, her eyes filled with only her daughter-in-law.

With a radiant smile, Kristin reached Estrella and called out her name again. Estrella stood

up

from her chair and said, “Hi Kristin.”

“You’ve been back for a while, haven’t you? I’ve been meaning to invite you over for dinner but just couldn’t replace the right moment. When you were ill, I visited you twice at the hospital. You were sleeping both times. By the time I went again, you had already been. discharged.”

Kristin then asked, “By the way, are you feeling better now? No more discomfort? There’s been a nasty flu going around lately.”

“Thank you, I’m all better. You and Landon should take care of yourselves,” Estrella advised, her concern genuine.

Kristin’s grip on Estrella’s hand tightened with emotion. Kristin knew, deep down, that her son hadn’t treated Estrella right over the years.

At this point, neither Kristin nor Landon knew about Estrella’s pregnancy three years ago or that she had taken a fall at Sandalwood Oasis while waiting for Jason to return. If they had, Jason would have had some serious explaining to do.

Not even Autumn knew about it, or else she would have been devastated.

Holding onto Estrella’s hand, Kristin studied her favorite daughter-in-law, and she remained blissfully unaware of Isaac standing quietly beside them.

Obligingly, Isaac stayed by Estrella’s side, silently clutching her leg as she and Kristin chatted. His big eyes were fixed on the two of them, a picture of obdience.

Perhaps it was the absence of a father figure that made Isaac so well-behaved from a young age. Whenever Estrella took him out or engaged in conversation, he’d wait silently by her side.

If Estrella gave him something to eat, he’d eat quietly. If she didn’t, he’d just watch her, never fussing or causing any disturbance.

“Estrella, Jason has actually been waiting for you all these years. That’s why he’s been reluctant to finalize any paperwork. Maybe you could give him another chance? I’m sure he’d cherish it.”

Before Estrella could respond, Kristin continued, “Oh, and Jason mentioned that as long. as you don’t divorce, he’s willing to give you all of the Nelson family’s assets and shares. Estrella, I can tell that Jason still has feelings for you. I promise you, during the years you were away, Jason didn’t have any relationship with either Holly or Serene. Can’t you trust

me on this, just once?”

Kristin had been fretting over Estrella and Jason’s marriage since before their wedding day.

She couldn’t understand it. Jason had grown up with several girls in their circle, and countless eligible young ladies longed to marry him. But it was Estrella who had caught Kristin’s eye since she was a child. Although Estrella seemed carefree, she was actually clear-headed and wise beyond her years.

Now, Estrella was a renowned international lawyer who had made her way without relying on her family. She had even become a pillar of support for Cole. Kristin’s affection for her only deepened. So when Kristin encountered Estrella, she didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

As Kristin made her case, Estrella gently loosened her grip on Kristin’s hand, “Jason and I… we can’t go back.”

“Nothing is irreversible in life, except death, Estrella. As long as we’re within the law and haven’t committed any crimes, we can always start over. You must have had feelings for

Jason once, and…”

Before Kristin could finish, Isaac, clinging to Estrella’s leg, let out a tender “Mommy.”

Hearing this, Kristin turned to look beside her, feeling that the voice didn’t come from around them. Only then did she lower her gaze to the child at Estrella’s feet.

Isaac looked up at Estrella and called out “Mommy” again.

In the next moment, Kristin’s mind went blank, her breath nearly caught in her throat.

A child calling Estrella ‘Mommy’? Could Isaac be Estrella’s child? The thought nearly caused her to faint..

How could Estrella have a child? And one this big? Moreover, he bore a striking resemblance to Estrella as a child.

In just a few seconds, Kristin’s mind raced with melodramatic scenarios. Then swiftly. regaining her composure, she stared intently at Isaac, wondering if he could be Jason’s child.

Estrella, hearing Isaac’s call, bent down and scooped him into her arms. Isaac.

c wrapped his little arms tightly around her neck and called out “Mommy” once more.

With each cry of ‘Mommy, Kristin didn’t know whether to be overjoyed or heartbroken.

Just as Estrella was about to speak, Kristin cut in, “Estrella, is this Jason’s…”

Estrella interrupted her, “Mom, Isaac has nothing to do with Jason. I left Ravenwood three years ago, and Isaac is only one year and ten months old.”

Isaac’s delicate features and slightly smaller stature compared to other children his age

made Estrella’s claim plausible, and anyone could see he was barely two years old.

Estrella’s words struck Kristin like a blade to the heart. She reached up to press a hand against her forehead and collapsed into a nearby chair.

Kristin had pieced it together now. The reason Estrella had said that they couldn’t go back was that she already had a child of her own.

And looking at the little one, it was clear as day he was Estrella’s flesh and blood – the spitting image of her at that age.

But if the child wasn’t Jason’s, what about all those fortune tellers’ predictions? Where on earth did Landon dig up that charlatan? Damn it, Kristin swore that she was going to get her money back from that so-called psychic.

Noticing Kristin’s distress as she sank into the chair, Estrella asked with concern, are you alright?”

Kristin frowned deeply, “Do I look alright to you? My life’s just been cut in half.”

“Kristin,

Estrella tried to reassure her, “Don’t take it so hard. No matter how many grandkids you want, Jason can make it happen.”

Kristin lifted her head to gaze at Estrella. “Then I want you and Jason to have them. Would you?”

Estrella replied, resigned, “It’s just not in the cards for us.” Estrella had wanted children with all her heart back in the day, but Jason had been against it.

Kristin’s brow was furrowed as she gazed at Estrella and Isaac, her heart aching.

Estrella turned to Isaac and said, “Isaac, say ‘grandma”.”
