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

Chapter 78

“I know Jason came looking for you,” Bryce said with a hint of concern in his voice, “but Serene’s little brother got hit by the principal’s car last night. I think my brother might head back to Ravenwood, so I came over.”

Estrella paused for a moment upon hearing Bryce’s words, and then let out a sarcastic laugh. She recalled when she had just come out of the bathroom, Jason had suddenly vanished. So that was the reason.

Bryce quickly tried to console her, “Estrella, don’t overthink it. Maybe I got it wrong.” In truth, he had indeed heard that Jason had left the hotel at that time. Fearing that Estrella might be troubled, he had come over.

Estrella smirked, “This isn’t the first time. I’m used to it by now.”.

“Estrella, there’s something else I’ve got to confess,” Bryce continued, with a hint of apprehension. “But you gotta promise not to get mad or hit me after I tell you.”

Estrella’s gaze turned frosty. “Spill it.”

Bryce saw

the stern look in her eyes and blurted out, “That morning when I went to see you, Korey called you, and I told my brother about that. He probably came after you the day before yesterday because of what I said. Estrella, I swear, it wasn’t on purpose. I just… said it casually.”

Bryce’s scaredy-cat demeanor made Estrella dismiss it. “Fine, you came all this way to keep me company and even brought breakfast, I’ll let it slide.”

But deep down, she knew whether Bryce snitched or not, Jason would have his suspicions and would’ve come anyway. It was hard to tell which of the two was being the troublemaker.

Around eleven, after her IV at the hospital, Bryce took Estrella to a tasty local diner. She rested in the car for a bit. Then they headed to the school Ryan had attended for two years, gathering more information. It wasn’t until after nine in the evening that they returned to the hotel at the town center to rest.

Worried that Estrella might feel unwell again, Bryce insisted on staying in the same room. Estrella, with no other choice, agreed to let him sleep on the rickety sofa.

In the middle of the night, Estrella woke up a couple of times. Seeing Bryce curled up on the sofa, she couldn’t help but smile warmly. Her good friends were few, but having Bryce and Jesse was enough for a lifetime.
