30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 170

Listening to Cole’s words, Estrella just held him tight without moving. She stared at Cole for a long while before breaking into an easy smile. “I thought it was something serious. It’s just a project. If we have to let it go, we let it go. Next time I’ll land you a bigger fish.”

Her nonchalance seemed to half-convince Cole, who looked at her with a mix of belief and doubt. “Estrella, you really don’t mind about this?” She should be aware of Holly’s situation in Innovative Solutions Inc..

Estrella waved it off as if swatting a fly. “It’s not a big deal. Not worth getting all mopey over.”

Her smile was as steadfast as ever, and Cole fell into silence. Cole knew his daughter all too well-she kept everything bottled up inside, never willing to share her burdens with anyone.

Seeing Cole’s fixed gaze, Estrella knew what he was worried about. He was concerned about Holly coming back, and worried about her marriage with Jason going south.

Hér years with Jason had been like being married to a shadow. And with divorce rates sky-high, who could guarantee a smooth sail in marriage?

Although they got along well recently, Jason’s attitude towards her was just like that, not even as attentive as it was towards Serene. She had always been the one to comfort him and smile at him, so he had grown accustomed to putting in no effort, acting as though giving her a wedding ring was doing her a massive favor.

On reflection, she didn’t find much in the marriage worth clinging to. Especially now with Holly back in the picture, her stock had plummeted even more.

Reading the concern in Cole’s eyes, Estrella wrapped her arms around his neck an reassured him with a confident smile. “Dad, don’t worry about me. Besides, I’ve alre accomplished what I needed to. Jason has lost his value to me.”

When Estrella mentioned her achieved goals, Cole’s eyes widened in surprise. “Estrella you…”
