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

Chapter 10

It seems that she wasn’t as he thought, with no personal life whatsoever.

When Marie brought in some snacks and tea, Jason casually asked about Estrella’s usual routine. Marie said, “Ms. Estrella occasionally works overtime, but not often, and she

His face was stern as he approached them, each step measured.
