30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 82

Estrella thought Jason was coming over to pick up the argument where they left off, but to her surprise, he showed up with medicine-in fact, stomach medicine.

It seemed that after their spat, he had done some digging into her business trip to Silverbrook. Although he hadn’t unearthed anything about her and Korey’s fling, he did discover that she had fallen sick there.

Casting a glance at the medication on her nightstand, Estrella said in an indifferent tone, “Thanks.”

A few months back, if Jason had whipped up some late-night comfort food and brought her medicine, she might have been touched, might have clung to their plans of having a child. But now? She felt next to nothing.

Besides, it wasn’t like Jason was brimming with affection. He was just assuaging a twinge of guilt for having wronged her, for being unfaithful to their marriage. Maybe he didn’t even feel guilty. Who knew what he might want from her later on.

Jason had always been aloof, never acknowledging their relationship in public. Estrella used to brush it off. But when he waxed nostalgic about Holly in front of Korey, disregarding her, Estrella couldn’t help but take it personally.

Korey was into her, even going so far as to propose a marriage to the Dorvold family. Jason’s behavior was a blatant message to Korey that he didn’t value her, Estrella. It was as if he was deliberately riling Korey up, pushing her away. That was something Estrella couldn’t stomach.

If he didn’t care, he should just end it. But to deliberately give other guys a shot, to push her away – what did he treat her as?

He claimed to be bothered by Korey, yet his actions spoke a whole different story. He was almost desperate to catch her in the act of infidelity.

When Jason offered help if she felt unwell, Estrella responded, “Sure, you should get

some rest too.”

Her words were agreeable enough, but deep down, she knew better. She wouldn’t turn to him even if she was on death’s door – she never did it before, and she certainly wouldn’t

start now.

With a clunk, Jason closed the door behind him, and Estrella promptly tossed the pills he had brought into the trash can.
