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.

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

“Sounds good.”

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?”

Isaac, Bryce, and Jesse, Jesse exploded upon hearing that Estrella had refused the shares Jason offered. “For god’s sake, do you have any idea what Nelson International is worth? After all those years of Jason being tight-fisted, he finally opens his wallet during the divorce, and you won’t take advantage of it?” Usually level-headed, Jesse was now practically on the verge of pulling her hair out.
