30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 426

Seeing Estrella wince, Jason instinctively lifted himself slightly, concern evident in his voice, "Are you okay?"

As soon as Jason spoke, Estrella's discomfort seemed to vanish. She removed her hand and shook her head, "I'm fine."

But Jason wasn't convinced. He kept himself propped up with his left hand and brushed her hair away from her forehead with his right, "Maybe we should have a doctor check you out tomorrow, just to be safe."

Estrella replied, "Let's wait until the day after tomorrow. I've already scheduled a check-up then."

Jason kissed her cheek, "Alright, I'll go with you."

He then leaned down and gently pressed his lips to hers.

Jason's kiss was soft and tender, as if he was afraid of hurting Estrella.

Lifting her arms, Estrella wrapped them around his neck and closed her eyes, returning his kiss.

The next afternoon, Estrella, who had finished her early shift, was about to pick up Isaac from preschool when a few men in suits blocked her path. "Ms. Estrella, the boss wants to see you."

Estrella felt a headache coming on. Just yesterday, they had summoned Jason, and today, it was her turn. Keith really knew how to cause trouble, inheriting that trait from the River family.

Without haste, Estrella turned to face the lead man, her voice calm, "What if I refuse?"

The man didn't get angry but instead handed her his phone, "I think you'll want to come."

The photo on the phone showed Isaac playing in the garden with a small shovel.

Estrella knew she was vulnerable now that she had a son, someone others could use against her.

Keith, cunning as ever, had managed to bypass Jason's security.

Although Estrella was certain Keith wouldn't harm Isaac, she knew he might take him away, possibly forever.

Returning the phone, Estrella followed them coldly.

The lead man opened the car door for her, and as Estrella was about to get in, she paused, seeing a young woman seated inside.

Shaking her head with a mixture of amusement and disbelief at Keith's tactics, Estrella guessed the woman's purpose without asking.

Assuming women were easier to manipulate, Keith hoped to exploit her emotional vulnerability. But he was underestimating Estrella.

With a quick glance at the woman, Estrella regained her composure and entered the car.

As the car started, Estrella was about to make a call when Edith stopped her, "Ms. Estrella, let's stick to the rules of the game."
