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

Chapter 272

he was, staring at Estrella with a firm resolve in his eyes, “Estrella, if you’re considering getting back with Jason, I’m against it. You don’t even need to ask why. You can be with anyone else, but Jason is out of the question.”

Ever since Jason asked him to step aside for Holly, Cole had had an unfavorable view of this marriage. Cole had never intended for his daughter to be with Jason for a lifetime. Now that they had finally settled things cleanly why would they bother with a marriage. again?

Playing the villain for once, Cole stood his ground against the reunion with Jason. Estrella couldn’t help but find humor in his staunch opposition. She teased, “What about Bryce?”

Cole’s face darkened instantly. “Why must you always involve yourself with the Nelsons? Are they the only men on earth?” His voice grew stern, “And I definitely do not agree with Bryce. If you even mention the name of their cousin Robert, Estrella, believe me, I’ll have words with you.”

Knowing Estrella was never serious, Cole preempted her, even bringing up young to make his point.

Estrella chuckled at her father’s rare anger, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll handle it.”

Cole’s disapproval of their remarriage was expected. Estrella had seen the disappointment in his eyes three years ago when she was hospitalized after the fall. It was clear he would never support Jason again, even though he had once been in favor of their marriage.

After her talk with Cole, Estrella took a deep breath as she left his study, then retreated to her own room. No sooner had she entered than she saw Isaac, fidgeting on the bed, looking around as if searching for someone.

“What’s up, buttercup? Why are you awake?” Estrella sat beside him on the bed.

Isaac looked up, still drowsy, “Mommy, where’s Uncle Jason?”

Estrella draped a light blanket over his sleeping bag, “He went home, sweetheart.”

Hearing this, Isaac clambered into Estrella’s lap, finding comfort in her embrace.

Estrella held Isaac close, kissing his soft, light curls, then gently rocked him, trying to soothe him back to sleep.

After settling in her arms, Isaac raised his head to say, “Mommy, I want Uncle Jason.”
