30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 181

Chapter 181

Hearing Estrella’s question, Bryce turned around leisurely and smiled, “So you thought that if you and Jesse kept mum, I’d be clueless?”

At Bryce’s words, Estrella’s smile faltered. No wonder Bryce bought so many sour snacks this time. No wonder he insisted on joining her business trip when dropping her off at the airport. It made sense why he showed up in Harmony Springs almost immediately after she did, and why he insisted on a 24-hour vigil and claimed the couch for his bed.

He knew everything.

Bryce had a faint smile on his lips and took his right hand out of his pocket to ruffle Estrella’s hair. “Don’t worry, I won’t breathe a word to anyone, especially not Jason. But hey, if you ever need anything, just give me a buzz. I’ll be there faster than pizza delivery.”

Bryce was all seriousness now, a far cry from the usual carefree, rough-around-the-edges guy she knew. He was like this only on the rare when Estrella was feeling down, taking on the role of her steadfast protector. Back when she and Jason had gotten their marriage license, Bryce had been just as earnest, assuring her she’d regret it.

Estrella managed a weak smile, patting Bryce on the shoulder. “Thanks, Bryce. You’re a gem.”

Bryce pinched her cheek lightly. “It’s chilly out, get inside. And whatever Jason says, don’t take it to heart. Men aren’t worth your peace.

Estrella chuckled. “I know.”

“Head in then,” Bryce nudged.

“Alright.” With a nod to Bryce, Estrella turned and stepped into the foyer. Bryce watche and then strode off toward the yard with a casual wave goodbye.

Watching Bryce’s departure, a warm feeling spread through Estrella. For all his bluster, Bryce was far more attentive than Jason, full of ambition and capability, just waiting for his moment to shine.
