30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 286

Estrella leaned into Jason’s embrace without a word, continuing to coach Isaac as if she hadn’t heard his apology. And without him bringing it up, she had almost forgotten about

Good thing Isaac stayed. Good thing he had grown up. Otherwise, she would have resented Jason for life, they would have been at each other’s throats, neither finding peace in their days.

It wasn’t until noon, when Autumn called to ask where Isaac had been taken, that they brought Isaac back home.

Noticing Isaac’s growing fondness for Jason, Autumn couldn’t help but mutter, “Looks like you’re a proper family now. Guess your dad and I are just spare parts.” Autumn’s expression darkened, but a single call of “Grandma” from Isaac turned her frown into a beaming smile.

After lunch, as Jason took Isaac upstairs to rest, Autumn pulled Estrella aside and asked in a hushed tone, “Estrella, what’s the deal with you and Jason? Are you thinking of getting back together?”

“No,” Estrella replied while collecting the wool that had fallen to the floor. “I’ve agreed to give him a six-month trial, that’s all.”‘

Autumn listened, her brow furrowed in thought before she resumed her knitting, “A trial’s, alright. If it doesn’t work out, at least there’ll be no regrets. But Isaac really likes him.”

She knew her daughter better than anyone. If there was even a sliver of hope, Estrella wouldn’t have suggested splitting up. The fact that Estrella did meant she was probably done for good, with no room for a turnaround.

Giving Jason six months was probably due to the many years they knew each other and the bond between their families. Once Estrella had truly moved on from someone, she would never look back.

Rolling up the wool, Estrella said, “Mom, Isaac has enough clothes. Plus, you can buy anything these days. You don’t need to knit by hand.”
