30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 251

Chapter 251

Bryce turned back to his car. A few moments later, he returned with two elegantly wrapped gift boxes in hand and offered them to Estrella. “Here’s a little something for you,” he said with a wink, “and this one’s for my boy.”

Estrella accepted the gifts with a grin. “Much obliged,” she replied, her smile warm and genuine.

From the sidelines, Jason watched the exchange, his brow furrowed, a shadow cast over his features.

After Estrella disappeared into the house, Jason couldn’t help but let out a sarcastic comment, “Nice brown-nosing there, champ.”

Bryce clapped Jason on the shoulder and said. “Maybe you should take a leaf out of my book, bro. Besides, if you wanna win Estrella back, you’re gonna need to step up your game.”

Jason, hands shoved deep into his jeans pockets, shot Bryce a playful kick. Unperturbed, Bryce dusted off his jeans. “I’m heading back.” He glanced at Jason and said. “Oh, and Jason, you might wanna hit the road soon too. Your gas tank’s running on fumes.”

Bryce climbed into his car and drove off, while Jason reluctantly followed suit. If it hadn’t been for Bryce’s interference, Jason mused, his day with Estrella could have been considered pretty decent.

Jason would drop by when he could, his injuries healing well enough to avoid any further hospital stays.

That evening, as Jason walked into the old family estate at the summons of Kristin, he found his grandfather Keith seated in an antique wingback chair, the atmosphere heavy with unspoken tension. Kristin looked like she’d been through the wringer, possibly after a spat, while Jason’s grandmother was badgering his dad about some literary conundrum.
