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

Chapter 158

Estrella, unfazed, began to speak, “Of course its…”

She couldn’t finish her sentence before Jason shot her a chilling look that made her swallow her words. Fine, have it your way,” she conceded with a sigh. She thought to herself, ‘Such a petty man with double standards.’

To keep the peace, Estrella pocketed the harsh words she wanted to say.

Estrella didn’t pull her hand away or protest when he made their relationship public. Jason grabbed her hand, and their fingers intertwined. They had barely reached the entrance when Bryce, all hustle and bustle, approached them. “Estrella, where’ve you been? I waited ages and finally came looking for you.”

Noticing Estrella’s hand in someone else’s, Bryce didn’t even grant Jason a glance. He just whisked Estrella away, looping his arm through hers. “I’ve got the gang together to keep you company,” he said.

Estrella’s voice was tinged with sarcasm. “Don’t be shy on my account.” Her comment wasn’t just about Bryce’s presumptuous behavior but also about his disregard for Jason.

Bryce chuckled. “C’mon, we are friends.”

Estrella had to remind him, “Did you see the man behind you?”

Only then did Bryce take notice of Jason’s brooding presence behind him. He jumped at the sight of Jason’s dark stare, then casually said, “Hey, bro. You’re here too. Just make sure Serene’s taken care of. I’ve got Ella covered.”

Jason shoved his hands in his pockets and watched Bryce in silence.

Unphased by Jason’s presence, Bryce told his friends, “The queen bee has returned. Make sure you treat her right.”

“And remember,” Bryce added, “she can’t stand smoke, so no cigarettes tonight, guys.”

With that, Bryce seated Estrella amidst a group of eager young men.
