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

Catrina sighed with a heavy heart as she watched Jason’s reserved demeanor. “Korey said coming back wasn’t good for Holly’s recovering, but we were too stubborn to listen,” she admitted, a note of guilt lacing her words. “I guess we parents do make mistakes.”

When Jason remained silent, Catrina went on, Truth be told, I shouldn’t have called you over today, especially since you and Estrella are married now. But you saw it yourself, Jason. Your presence seemed to calm Holly down.”

Suppressing a yawn, Estrella replied, “I’ll just watch some TV.”

Marie let out a resigned sigh and left, understanding that Estrella was still miffed at Mr. Jason and that was why she didn’t want to retife to her room.
