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

Chapter 169

Some days ago, Cole had already heard that the Silverbrook New District project was being spearheaded by Holly, marking her first foray into the company’s initiatives.

The thought of Jason’s past entanglement with Holly, coupled with her remarkable comeback, naturally sent a shiver down Cole’s spine.

Hearing this, Cole fell silent. Jason knew he had to lend a hand to Holly in her first prost back, but had he considered Estrella’s feelings?

Cole stared at Jason for a long while, slowly exhaling before conceding, “I won’t ma difficult for you.”

Jason had made the effort to come to him, and Cole felt compelled to agree, fearing the a refusal could lead to a fallout Estrella might struggle with. Thus, Cole chose to keep the
