30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 184

Estrella didn’t know what Jason was up to yesterday, but Bryce knew all too well. Jason was at the hospital accompanying Holly.

Jason’s own wife had taken a nasty fall and ended up in the hospital, and he was impossible to reach by phone.

Lying in the hospital bed, Estrella saw Bryce’s complexion sour as he smashed his cellphone to bits. She tried to console him, “Let it go, having you and Jesse by my side is all I need.”

Bryce shoved his hands into his pockets and plopped down onto the chair beside the bed with a stony face.

Catching Bryce’s mood, Estrella chuckled, “Just yesterday, you were telling me to keep my cool, saying men are the least of our worries. So, why are you the one losing your temper now?”

Her face was still pale, and her voice lacked its usual strength. That tumble she took really did a number on her.

Bryce remained silent. Estrella grabbed a pillow and playfully tossed it at him. “What, you think just because I’m laid up today I can’t handle you? You’re gonna ignore me now?”

Bryce moved closer, shimmying onto the edge of the bed. “I brought myself over so you could hit me.”

Estrella smiled. “It’s nothing serious.” She paused, then added, “It’s actually better he didn’t
