30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203 

She didn’t seem to avoid suspicion even when she was close to Bryce, so why was she so secretive about making a phone call now? 

Shoving his hands deep into his pockets, he watched her with a leery gaze. approached, he reached out and snatched the phone from her gras

Estrella stood up quickly, reclaiming her phone with a huff. “Cut it out, Jason! With the way things are between us now, you’ve got no right to snoop through my phone.” Back when she hadn’t left Ravenwood, and before the talk of divorce had even started, she used to find his jealousy somewhat endearing, a reason to tease him and flirt back. But times had changed. She was a mother now, and playing these games with him. the last thing she wanted.

“Not worthy, huh?” Jason’s mood soured instantly. He grabbed her face in his hand and pulled her close. “We’re still married, Estrella.” 

Stumbling into his chest, Estrella shrugged it off. “For now, but not for much longer.” 

Her indifference was like a punch to the gut. He had come here out of concern, and she repaid him with frustration. Releasing her face with a mix of anger and restraint, Jason warned, “You better hope I don’t find anything.” 

“Don’t bother.” Estrella shot back defiantly. “I was talking to my man. Why don’t you just throw me out the window if you’re so tough, huh?” 

Her words stung less than he expected. Maybe she was just trying to get a rise out of him. He studied her for a moment, then reached out to brush a stray lock of hair from her forehead. “You just can’t stand it if you’re not getting under my skin, can you?” 

No sooner had he spoken than his own phone began to ring from his pocket. Pulling it out, he recognized a work-related number. He answered and spoke briefly before stepping out to return to his own room, leaving Estrella alone. 

As Jason left, Estrella exhaled a silent sigh of relief. The last thing she needed was for him to discover Isaac’s existence-that would only complicate matters further. 

Meanwhile, Jason, having finished his call, was about to head back to Estrella’s room when he was struck by her laughter with someone else and her eagerness for a divorce. His steps halted. 

“Drew, look into who Estrella’s been in touch with these past years.” In the end, Jason couldn’t resist. He had to know. If he found out Estrella had a lover, Jason wouldn’t rest until he’d made the guy pay. 

After hanging up with Drew, Jason’s phone rang again with more work calls. By the time. he finished, it was already past ten in the evening. He headed straight for Estrella’s room,

not even pausing to think. 

Inside, Estrella was asleep, with Bryce keeping watch beside her. After adjusting her blanket and checking her forehead, Bryce tenderly held her hand before placing it back. under the covers and standing up. 

Jason, witnessing Bryce’s attentiveness from the doorway, couldn’t take it anymore. He knocked loudly on the door. 

Beside the hospital bed, Bryce glanced back. Seeing Jason approaching, he quickly stood up from the chair. The two stepped out to the corridor’s end, where a small balcony served. as a smoking area. 

Jason glanced at Bryce through the dissipating smoke, seeing clearly that Bryce’s feelings for Estrella had transcended mere friendship. Jason knew that look-it was the way a man looks at a woman he desires. 

Taking a deep drag on his cigarette, Jason broke the silence. “You’ve fallen for her, haven’t you?” 

Estrella was smart, beautiful, and had a great personality. It was no wonder she drew people in, especially someone like Bryce, who spent so much time with her. 

Bryce exhaled a stream of smoke, dismissing the idea with a chuckle. “It’s not the kind of liking you’re thinking about.” He paused, then continued, “It’s more pity and guilt. your behalf, Jason. I feel bad for Estrella; she’s had it tough being married to you. 

Guilt on 

As Bryce leveled his gentle accusation, Jason remained silent, continuing to smoke. Bryce turned to look at Jason. “You were pretty hard on Estrella three years ago, blaming her for the pregnancy she didn’t tell you about, and for losing the baby, weren’t you?” 

Before Jason could respond, Bryce added, “She didn’t tell you back then because she knew Holly was back. If you had chosen her, not Holly, things wouldn’t have come to this point.” 

Jason listened, his expression unreadable as he smoked. 

Finally, Bryce said, “I’m telling you this to make you feel bad and guilty. Don’t treat Estrella like she’s a fool. It’s your fault, Jason. It’s your fault the baby didn’t make it.” 

The accusation deepened the shadows on Jason’s face. He remembered Estrella’s question from three years ago, about what he would do if she were pregn 

pregnant. 

After snuffing out his cigarette, Jason faced Bryce squarely. “I care about Estrella, and I won’t divorce her. You handle your own feelings, Bryce.” 

With that, he returned to the hospital room, leaving Bryce alone on the balcony. 

Everyone thought he didn’t like Estrella, even hated her. But Jason knew better. Why would he marry someone he didn’t love? Why would he let Landon threaten him? His choices had always been his own, made willingly, happily. Yet, often, fate had other plans. Now,
