30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 128

Estrella glanced at him, the discomfort of her monthly visitor painting her mood in shades of grey. “Aunt Flo’s in town, not exactly feeling chipper.”

Jason couldn’t help but chuckle. “Hang in there, and it’ll pass in a few days. I’ll make it up to you, with interest.”

His nonchalant demeanor hung in the air as Estrella simply watched him, words unspoken. Their eyes locked for a moment before Estrella, half-squinting, probed, “Jason, is there something you’re keeping from me?”

Secrets and undisclosed truths were woven into the fabric of their relationship.

With the back of her head to him, she replied, “No appetite.”
