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

Chapter 179

Outside the door, the man saw that Estrella had opened the door before he even had a chance to knock. With a grin spreading across his face, he greeted her with a casual, “Hey, Estrella.”

Bryce had just showed up like that, and Estrella couldn’t help but say, “What the hell are you doing here?” She had explicitly told him that morning not to come, yet here he was, acting as if he hadn’t heard a word.

Bryce slung an arm around her shoulder as he dragged his suitcase inside and said, “Worried about you, that’s all.” Then he added, “Besides, Holly’s back in town. Who knows what kind of tricks she might pull behind the scenes?”

Estrella responded dryly, “Holly isn’t that foolish.” If Serene was considered intelligent, then Holly was shrewd. After knowing Holly for so many years, that much was clear to everyone.

Unconvinced, Bryce insisted, “Still, I’m not at ease. I need to be by your side 24/7.”

With her hands crossed in front of her chest, Estrella turned to glance at Bryce. He looked so smug, and she had to bump him with her hip. Catching himself, Bryce asked with a roguish tilt of his head, “Estrella, were you heading out to do something when you opened the door?”

“Hungry,” Estrella admitted. “Was about to go grab some grub.”

Without hesitation, Bryce said, “Let’s go. I’ll come with you.” With that, he took Estrella by the hand and they headed out together.

Jason would have a fit if he knew Bryce had come looking for Estrella. What business did Bryce have always hanging around his wife?

After strolling outside for over an hour, not only had they filled their bellies, but they also returned with a bounty of snacks.

Estrella walked in to find Bryce making himself comfortable on her bed. She nudged his foot with hers and said, “Don’t tell me you have no intention of getting a room and plan on crashing here?”

Bryce sat up, leaning on his hands, and repeated his earlier statement, “I told you, I’m on a 24-hour watch.”

Estrella rolled her eyes at his audacity. “We’ll see how Jason skins you alive for this.”

Bryce had a way of forgetting his woes once they were past, something Estrella admired with a sense of resignation. She was the type who could hold a grudge for a lifetime, a classic case of once bitten, twice shy.

“I’ll crash on the couch. Besides, it’s not like we haven’t shared a bed before,” Bryce
