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

Chapter 114

Bryce’s rare display of temper caught Estrella and Jesse off guard.

Jesse, in a sudden flurry, grabbed a handful of peanuts from the bowl on the table and threw them at Bryce “What’s your deal, Bryce? Why do you have to stir up trouble for no good reason?”

Bryce didn’t respond with his usual playful banter. Instead, he brushed off his shirt indifferently and looked at them, saying, “Estrella, you and Jason have been married for over two years now. You know exactly what Jason is like and how he treats you, better than any of us. Is a guy like that really worth sticking with? Worth bringing a child into the world with? And don’t even start with that fortune-teller nonsense. You’ve never tried being with anyone else, and how can you know for sure if what they’re telling you isn’t a bunch of baloney? Besides, those psychics were all found by Jason’s dad. Do you really know what his agenda is?”

Bryce was known for his simplicity, never one to overthink anything. But for Estrella, he was genuinely worried.

Estrella gazed at him for a long moment before breaking into a smile, “I’m not even pregnant yet, and anyway, I can handle whatever comes my way.” After all, what was there to worry about? A child? She had a job, and her family owned a company – what was there to fear?.

Once Estrella had spoken her piece, Jesse chimed in, “Bryce, you’re overreacting a bit. Besides, Estrella and Jason have been hitched for over two years. It’s only natural they’d want to start a family.”

At this, Bryce, impatiently waved his hand, “Fine, fine, fine. You two have it your way, just don’t come crying to me later.”

With that, Bryce was back to his old self. Jesse lobbed another handful of peanuts at him, “Still giving us lip, huh? Your treat for a foot spa later.”

Bryce retorted, “Fine. As long as Estrella isn’t afraid of Jason, I’ll even arrange a couple of strapping lads to pamper you both.”

Estrella laughed along, “Bring it on.”

The banter continued as they finished their meal, and true to his word, Bryce took Estrella and Jesse out for a foot spa, arranging for each to be attended by a young male masseur. Bryce also opted for a male masseur himself.

Lined up side by side, Jesse exhaled deeply, “No wonder guys love hitting the massage parlor this is heaven.”
