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

Chapter 94

Estrella paused mid-stride, turning to Jason with a quizzical look. “So, did you know that Jesse swapped her juice with Rachel? The juice you had the waiter toss was actually

Estrella and Jesse had seen it all. The tricks Rachel was playing were nothing compared to the ruthless games they’d encountered nearly a decade ago.

The brief exchange between Jason and Estrella left Bryce reeling in shock. Suddenly, he felt like the only fool among them, utterly clueless.

Estrella teased him, “You had your chances, but you didn’t use them. So I might as well give someone else the-” She was cut off mid-sentence as Jason, pinching her chin, leaned in to seal her lips with a kiss.
