Chapter 31 

Jason’s demeanor darkened; it seemed she was plotting again. 

As he vigorously toweled his hair, he spoke with a detached tone, “First, I had to play your knight in shining armor, and now I’m expected to be your baby-making machine? Keep dreaming, sweetheart.” 

Estrella continued to tease, her voice playful, “You just lie back and relax. I can handle the heavy lifting.” 

Jason’s expression darkened as he lobbed the towel at her. “Estrella, you’re such a pervert!” 

Their bickering was a game she never lost. 

Catching the towel, Jason’s expression frosted over as he said, “Going off solo to the Lamonts, do you actually think they wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you?” 

Estrella’s laugh was steady and composed, “I don’t take risks without certainty.” 

Jason’s silent gaze seemed to question her confidence, as if asking, ‘Are you so sure I’d want to start a family with you?’ 

Estrella prodded further, “You defended me so passionately today. Got a bit of baby fever, have you?” 

Jason’s face turned stony. “Do you think I’d let the Lamonts command me around without consequence?” 

He was all about pride, Estrella knew, and she was just using the opportunity to flirt. 

Just as Estrella was about to respond, her phone, resting on the table, suddenly rang. She picked up to see it was from a client and said to Jason with a smirk, “So, really not into the baby-making, huh? Well, if you’re not, I’d better get back to work.” 

With that, she answered the call, cheerfully greeting, “Hey, Jo.” 

“Ms. Estrella.” The voice of the middle-aged woman on the other end broke into sobs.
