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

Chapter 89

Bryce was chatting away like a Gatling gun, and every time Estrella tried to get a word in, he shut her down with another rapid-fire sentence.

Jason cracked his neck and said with a menacing tone, “Bryce, how you want to end your life, you pick.”

Bryce looked like he’d just taken a plunge into an ice-cold lake, forcing a smile at Jason before turning to Estrella and saying, “Estrella, I’m sure Jason had his reasons, probably thought you’d turn your nose up at that pink diamond, so he gave it to Serene.”

“And that necklace? Ugh, it’s not even pretty, nor does it scream ‘classy.’ How could it ever be worthy of my Ella.” He then glanced back at Jason and added, “Right, Jason?”

Jason stepped closer, eyeing the breakfast Bryce brought with a smirk, “Nice try, champ. You should win an award for flipping sides so fast.”

Bryce chuckled awkwardly, then clutched the breakfast like it was the crown jewels, “Ella’s got a sensitive stomach, and this grub’s specially for her. Back off, big guy.”

Jason felt a twinge of jealousy at Bryce’s doting on Estrella.

Bryce continued, “Remember when she was on that business trip to Silverbrook? I was by her side in the hospital for days.”

Bryce was two months younger than Estrella; they’d been classmates since kindergarten. He’d followed her around like a little puppy, and to him, Estrella could do no wrong.

Jason’s mood soured at Bryce’s repeated “my Ella,” and he remarked, “Your Ella?”

Bryce quickly corrected himself, “Yours, I mean. She’s yours, bro.”

Estrella crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, chiming in, “We’re all family here. Does it really matter?”

“Right, Ella has a point.” Bryce echoed.

Jason’s expression darkened just as Jesse suddenly joined them, “Estrella, you up yet?”

Upon reaching the doorway and seeing Jason, Jesse’s face also darkened, and she gave Jason a once-over, “Oh? Jason’s here too.”

When Bryce caught Jesse’s arrival, he shot Estrella a knowing look and quickly shoved the breakfast into her arms, “Estrella, Jesse and I got stuff to do. Don’t forget to eat, okay? We’ll wait for you downstairs.”
