30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 220

Chapter 220

“Hey, Grayson,” Estrella answered the phone with familiar ease, knowing it was Grayson on the other end.

Grayson’s voice came through, tinged with concern, “You and Jason finalized the divorce?” News like that has a way of spreading even if Estrella and Jason hadn’t made a public affair of it. Their circle of friends, including Grayson, had caught wind of it.

Estrella chuckled lightly, “Word travels fast, huh?”

There was a pause before Grayson replied, his voice steady but gentle, “Look, just because you’re not husband and wife anymore doesn’t mean you can’t be friends. We’ve all known each other for over two decades, Estrella. Don’t stress yourself out.”

“I know, Grayson,” she reassured him.

Grayson switched gears, “By the way, the legal contract with my Corp is up for renewal. I was wondering if you’re up for taking on the company’s representation again?”

“Of course, I am. I’ll swing by tomorrow to discuss it with you,” Estrella replied eagerly.

“Sounds good.”

As her hand brushed Isaac’s forehead, he mumbled in his sleep, “Daddy.” The word hit Estrella hard. No matter how much she did, she could never fill that particular role. No matter how capable she was, she couldn’t transform into a man.

Watching Isaac murmur again, she playfully pinched his cheek, half-jokingly scolding, “You little brat, your mama went through hell to bring you into this world, and all you can think about is daddy?”
