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

Chapter 24

At that moment, Jason stood up, made his way over to Bryce, and patted him on the shoulder. “I’ve got mad faith in you.”

Bryce offered, “Did Ella dump that agreement drafting gig on you? I’ll chat with her and get it sorted. She’s a whiz with this legal stuff, being a lawyer and all.”

Jason’s hand pressed down firmly on Bryce’s shoulder, his words carrying weight, “You handled this well. But step back from here on out.”

Who the hell was talking about divorcing Estrella? Two years and despite some harsh words, he had never mentioned divorce.

Leave it to Bryce, saying he’d play the mole for him, suss out Estrella’s thoughts. Instead, he just threw gas on the fire and brought back a pile of nonsense.

Estrella received Bryce’s call while he was being hustled by Drew to board the train with. the group. On the other end, Bryce was crying his eyes out, begging Estrella to save him. All Estrella could offer was a sympathetic, “Bryce, take care of yourself. I’ll be here when you get back.” She added for comfort, “If your mom disowns you, I’ll take the hit and take you in.”

“Ella, save me. Go plead with Jason.”

“Mr. Bryce, please get on the train,” Drew’s voice came through, and the call with Bryce ended.

Listening to the dial tone, Estrella was baffled. She had agreed to divorce, so why Jason still not letting Bryce off the hook?

Unable to figure it out, Estrella didn’t bother trying. She’d just wait until her vacation to check in on Bryce.

Just as she and Jason had started to mend their strained relationship, it was on the rocks again.

Jason stopped coming home. Rumors of his scandals were everywhere. Yet, he still hadn’t brought up the divorce.

Two days later, after wrapping up a civil dispute case at the courthouse, Estrella got a call from Grayson. He was throwing a welcome-back shindig for Korey the next night and wanted her to clear her schedule.

“I’ve got a big case in court tomorrow. Can I swing by after it wraps up?” Estrella asked.

“That’ll work.”
