30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 283

Bryce finished speaking, and Jesse and Estrella remained silent. Off to the side, Isaac saw the three of them just staring at each other without a word. Clutching a burger that was bigger than his face, he let out a chuckle.

Isaac’s chuckle broke the standoff. Jesse scratched her cropped hair and said, “I can help. you, and I can go back with you. But would your folks, your grandparents believe it?” After speaking, she glanced at Estrella.

Deep down, Jesse was reluctant. After all, she could be asked for help with anything, from chasing down criminals to putting out fires, but settling down and starting a family? That wasn’t her forte.

When Jesse’s eyes shifted to Estrella, Bryce’s gaze followed suit.

Estrella, with a nonchalant tone, said, “I don’t mind. I could even bring Isaac to your family if you like, as long as you’re not afraid of stirring up a hornet’s nest.”

With that remark, Jesse’s eyes returned to Bryce.

Estrella was right. Setting aside the fact that she had a child, the crucial point was that her ex-husband was Jason. If Bryce dared to bring her home, Keith might have given him a hard time he wouldn’t have recovered from.

Processing Estrella’s casual comment, Bryce pondered for a moment, then said, “I still want to live a few more years. Estrella, you’re off the list. I’ll figure out another way.”

In just a short span of time, Bryce had already imagined the chaos of bringing Estrella home-a scene that no phrase could aptly describe, not even ‘all hell breaking loose”.

He also had two eccentric aunts who could drown him with their spitfire comments as if they were on Broadway. So, it was back to the drawing board for him.

Next to Estrella, Isaac saw the three adults looking troubled and took another bite of his burger, giggling once more.

Seeing this, Bryce reached over and broke off half of Isaac’s burger, teasing, “You little rascal, what’s so funny?”
