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

Chapter 187

“So, Jason, you’ve got to sign the divorce papers. Once you do, you can live your life however you want. No one’s gonna meddle or try to stop you. Let Estrella go and give yourself a break, too!”

For years, Cole had seen everything between the young couple, and he’d lost all hope for their marriage. He even regretted listening to Landon back then, pushing for this union. His words left Jason feeling like he’d been dressed down without a corner to hide in.

Everyone kept saying he should let Estrella go, and let himself go, but when he and Estrella got married, not one person stood up to object.

Well, except for Bryce.

Jason kept his silence as Cole went on, his voice heavy with emotion. “Look, Jason, if there’s gotta be a right or wrong in this mess, it’s on me. I shouldn’t have agreed to this marriage in the first place, and I shouldn’t have let you two get together.”

“I just thought that you two have known ch other since you were kids, got along fine. Figured you’d work things out. But I never thought it’d come to this. If there’s no love lost between you two, then it’s best to part on good terms.”

Cole’s words would have been easier to take if he’d just yelled or blamed Jason, but instead, he took all the blame on the Dorvold family, and that made Jason’s face burn with shame even more. After all, it was Landon who brought in the fortune teller and came to the Dorvold family to ask for Estrella’s hand.

Estrella was right about one thing: she didn’t beg to marry him.

Even if Jason had doubts about Landon’s motives, even if he knew it was deliberate, the marriage was something he’d agreed to in the end.

Noticing the worry in Cole’s furrowed brow, Jason stood up from his chair. “I’ll discuss things with Estrella when I see her.”

But Cole insisted, “Sign the papers, Jason. It’s for the best.” The sooner he signed, the sooner his daughter would be free.

Without a word, Jason left the study.

In his Maybach, Jason didn’t drive off immediately but just pulled over to the side of the road. Leaning his head back against the seat, he felt completely hollow inside.

He hadn’t asked about Estrella’s whereabouts because he could tell Cole wouldn’t disclose them. It was clear to him now that his marriage to Estrella was no longer supported by anyone.
