SWNOVELS Chapter 104
Chapter 104
As Jason was getting a little too frisky, Estrella’s hand flew up and delivered a stinging slap to the back of his hand. “Hormones
raging, huh? Don’t even care where you are,”
Estrella was about to shove Jason away when his arms, snaked around her waist, tightened, pulling her back against him. A
chuckle escaped her lips, finding the situation somewhat amusing.
Right on cue, her pot of soup was ready. Estrella glanced at the simmering pot, then back at Jason, pinching his chin playfully.
“Not interested in your mom’s nourishing soup, huh? Think you can handle me when you can’t even handle a meal? Eat up, then
come take care of me,” she teased. With that, she hopped down from the kitchen counter.
Jason watched her with a longing gaze before making his way to the dining room, where Estrella had served him a heaping bowl
of soup, brimming with rich ingredients.
He stared at the soup and then back at Estrella. Their eyes met, and Estrella pushed two bread rolls towards him, adding with a
mix of admiration and sarcasm, “Your mom really cares about you.”
Kristin must really doubt her son’s strength to load him up with so many supplements.

After Estrella handed him a soup spoon, Jason took a tentative sip of the
complex-flavored concoction Kristin had made. His expression twisted. The soup was an acquired taste.
Noticing Jason’s grimace, Estrella couldn’t help but laugh. “Looks like your mom can’t win over your stomach.”
No sooner had she gloated than Jason grabbed her chin, pulled her close, and planted a kiss on her lips, pushing a piece of
veggies into her mouth from his own.
Estrella’s expression darkened, and despite her reluctance, she swallowed. Feeling queasy, she grabbed a bread roll and took a
big bite, grumbling, “Don’t get any ideas about doing this again.”
Kristin had served her soup in the evening. Estrella mentioned she was afraid that if she drank it, Jason wouldn’t be able to
handle her. Kristin, concerned about her son being embarrassed, didn’t let her drink it. In the end, Jason fed her a spoonful
anyway.
Estrella felt disgusted, but Jason seemed strangely satisfied, even finishing the entire bowl of soup.
When they returned to the bedroom, Jason nonchalantly asked, “Were you listening when my mom called earlier?”
“Feeling guilty?” Estrella teased.
Jason spun around, pulling Estrella into his embrace. “If Serene’s bothering you, I’ll have

her reassigned.”
Tonight, Estrella found medicine for him, served him hot soup, and made him toasts. Jason was deeply moved, feeling that there
was a bit of warmth in their home.
As Jason held her close, Estrella rested her hands against his chest and laughed dismissively. “She’s not important enough to
upset me.”
She still believed that other people were never the issue between her and Jason. Most marital problems lay within the couple
themselves.
As Estrella was about to step away, Jason caught her wrists and with a swift move, pinned her to the bed, trapping her in his
arms.
Estrella raised an eyebrow. “Jason, what are you-” But before she could finish her sentence, Jason silenced her with a kiss. He
didn’t give her a chance to speak or to resist, his one hand pinning hers, the other deftly removing her clothes.
Estrella panicked. As she tried to struggle, Jason held her even more tightly. Absent the tender foreplay of their previous
encounters, Jason undid her clothes, kissed her lips, and pushed inside her before she was ready, even before she could
protest.
Suddenly, Estrella clenched her fists, veins bulging on her neck from the pain. Then, with a scowl, she said, “Jason, you damn
fool, get off me. Stop moving.”
Jason loosened his grip slightly and kissed her cheek. “It’ll stop hurting in a bit.” He had no idea how long ‘a bit’ would be, never
having experienced it himself.
Jason didn’t want to give Estrella a chance to slip away as before, especially after their big fight and her talk of divorce, which
seemed to have shaken her resolve. Now that she was considering an exit strategy, Jason was determined not to offer her one.
He had never once thought of divorce after they married.
Watching the fine sheen of sweat on Estrella’s forehead and seeing her expression soften slightly, Jason whispered, “I’m going
in.”
Estrella looked up, “Jason, you’re ruthless.” Caught off guard, she had fallen right into his
trap.
After she cursed him out, Jason intertwined his fingers with hers and began to move
slowly.
“Be gentle,” Estrella warned impatiently.
“I haven’t even been rough,” Jason retorted.
Estrella’s brow furrowed. His breathing was stifled to near silence as beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Jason just stayed
there, motionless.
He admitted he was hesitant to exert too much force, causing Estrella to let out a soft chuckle. Through her laughter, she
mustered an almost reckless courage and she said,

“Alright then, your turn! Every journey has its obstacles.”
Regardless of the pain, she steeled herself.
She had intended to confront Jason, maybe even have a fight, but he was already inside her. What more was there to say? And
it was not like she could overpower him. So she hoped to get this over with and maybe think about having a child sooner rather
than later. Only after Estrella said this did Jason dare to exert force. After a few moments, seeing that Estrella was silent, Jason
no longer held back.
Time seemed to stretch on forever, and Estrella felt as if she’d been through centuries of pain, numb to the point of exhaustion.
Finally, she weakly pushed at Jason, “Aren’t you done yet?”
As he kissed her with renewed fervor, Jason declared, “We’re just getting started. Can’t disappoint you on your first time.”
Estrella wished she could slap herself for ever teasing him. Now he was really taking her to task. “Jason, I’m beat. Let’s call it a
night,” Estrella panted, pushing against Jason, her strength waning.
“Just hang in there a bit longer,” Jason urged. With that, he thrust into Estrella with a renewed vigor, not stopping until he had
fully surrendered to the moment. Finally, he collapsed onto her, his weight bearing down as he nuzzled into her shoulder.
It hurt, tingled, and yet... despite Jason’s heavy form on top of her, she felt oddly weightless, as if her body had turned light as a
feather. In the afterglow, an indescribable sensation washed over her.
For more than two years, she had thought their relationship would fizzle out without ever reaching this point.
Their breathing gradually steadied, and Jason lifted himself off her. When he moved again, Estrella instinctively turned to look at
him.
Jason chuckled, amused, “I’ll go easy on you since it’s your first time.” His words implied a seasoned confidence, even when he
was an virgin himself.
Estrella, arm draped lazily over her eyes, retorted, “Jason, you’re so underhanded.”
Ignoring her playful jab, Jason got up and went to the bathroom to run some warm water. He returned and gently wiped her
down, bestowing the tenderness he had withheld earlier. Moments later, as Jason settled back beside Estrella, she opened her
eyes and found herself gazing at him.
