30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 20

“Hmm?” Jason’s voice, mellifluous and soothing, answered with a touch of warmth and a hint of flirtation.

The couple seemed to have an unspoken understanding, and before Paula could even process what was happening, she was left dumbfounded once again.

Estrella was doing this on purpose. Paula was sure of it. But there was Jason, playing right along with her, responding so suggestively.

“Jason,” Paula said incredulously, staring at him as if he were a stranger. This wasn’t the

Jason she once knew.

Snapping back to reality, she turned to Estrella. “Estrella, you must have drugged Jason. I was going to let you maintain your image and not call you out in front of everyone for

With that, Paula whipped out her phone, scrolled through her gallery, and thrust it at Jason. “Don’t be fooled by Estrella’s prim and proper act, she’s been cheating on you. I’ve got proof of her indiscretions right here. Take a look if you don’t believe me.”

Paula’s outburst drew the attention of the surrounding crowd.

Jason, hands casually pocketed, glanced at Paula’s phone with detached interest. The pictures indeed showed Estrella looking a bit too cozy with another man.

At that moment, Paula glared at Estrella and seethed, “You’re done for this time, Estrella.

Estrella lowered her gaze and glanced at the phone, then chuckled disdainfully. “I thought for a moment you’d actually caught me in bed with someone.”

Her nonchalance only made Paula’s face redden with anger, “Jason, can brazen she is? Just listen to her. It’s clear she’s been messing around.”
