30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 442

Cole's voice boomed from the living room towards the kitchen, "Autumn!"

Autumn, carrying a plate of apple slices and cheese, walked in grumbling, "Why all the shouting? I'm not deaf, you know."

Cole, ignoring her complaint, pressed on, "Where’s the family bible? Estrella and Jason need it for their marriage license. Hand it over."

Hearing that Estrella and Jason were off to get their marriage license, Autumn hurriedly put down the platter. "Alright, alright, I’m on it."

Nothing was more pressing than making sure Estrella and Jason had the family bible.

Moments later, Autumn came downstairs with the old, cherished book, beaming. "Your dad reminded me last night to give this to you two. Guess you beat us to it."

Seeing the couple returning for the family bible had Autumn unable to hide her joy.

Handing over the bible, she advised Estrella, "Keep this safe, alright? Lose anything but this."

Estrella took it, promising, "Mom, I’d lose myself before I let anything happen to this."

Sitting down, Autumn looked on with a mix of joy and nostalgia. "Marriage is beautiful, truly. It’s good for everyone, especially Isaac and little Isaac."

She then turned her attention to Estrella, fussing over her pregnancy and offering advice.

Meanwhile, Jason and Cole found themselves in the den, talking shop.

After a while, Cole’s tone became more earnest. "Jason, I’m entrusting Estrella to you. Make sure you two take care of each other."

Jason nodded solemnly. "Dad, I’ll take good care of Estrella. You don’t have to worry."

Cole watched him for a moment, then with a heavy sigh, added, "Jason, thank you for understanding us, for being so forgiving."

Jason didn’t respond. All he knew was his love for Estrella, and he wouldn’t let her down.

Soon, the dinner bell rang, and Cole and Jason joined the others at the table.

After dinner, on their way back to Sandalwood Oasis with Isaac, Jason’s phone rang. It was Drew.

Drew’s news was urgent, "BOSS, Keith’s been hospitalized."

Keith, referred to here, was Aiden.

Jason stood firm, "Keith, Estrella is my red line. I don’t care whose daughter she is; she’s my wife."

Their conversation revealed decades of unresolved tensions and grievances, with Keith lamenting the losses and injustices suffered by his family, underscoring the deep-seated conflicts and the heavy burden of past decisions.

The loss of his son and daughter-in-law was a wound that Keith couldn’t seem to heal from. The thought of his family line ending with him was a pain so profound, it seemed insurmountable. He couldn’t find it in his heart to forgive Landon and Cole, feeling that their actions were unforgivable.

Jason understood Keith’s grievances. He empathized with the depth of his pain.

But he couldn’t bear the thought of doing anything that would betray Estrella’s trust.

With a steady gaze fixed on Keith, Jason said calmly, "If you’re fond of First Mansion, I can look into buying it for you. Then, we can bring Grandma over to keep you company."

He added, "Estrella is very understanding. She wouldn’t mind Isaac coming over to spend time with you."

Jason believed that was the best he could offer to ensure Keith and Amber found some happiness in their later years.

After all, Landon had kept secrets from them, and the couple had indeed faced many hardships over the decades. There was a time when Amber struggled with her mental health for years, a situation that only recently improved. Without that recovery, their lives might have been even more tragic.

This only deepened Keith’s resentment.
