30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 165
Throughout lunch, Estrella maintained an air of serene composure. It was as if
she had anticipated the unfolding scene, her gaze occasionally flickering over
Jason, who sat with furrowed brow.
Estrella did not question him, nor did she offer words of comfort. After all, they
were adults, masters of their own emotions.
Beside Estrella, Bryce suddenly turned to her and quipped, “Estrella, how can
you be so chill? Not even a hint of surprise?”
The rest of their circle had been visibly shaken, jaws nearly hitting the floor, yet
Estrella seemed unfazed, prompting a wave of envy in Bryce.
With a chuckle, Estrella revealed, “The girl sitting next to Holly is the owner of
that
Maserati.”
“What?” Bryce gasped, even more astonished, before pressing on, “So Estrella,
did you already see that Holly has returned?”
Estrella’s silence spoke volumes. Given the current situation at the time, it
seemed that the girl driving the Maserati was Holly's maid. Holly didn’t want
people to know she had returned, nor did she want anyone to be aware of her
presence. That was why the Ledford family had registered the car under the
name of that girl.
As Bryce and Estrella chatted, Holly was wheeled over by a servant, her gaze
briefly surveying the group, before she smiled weakly at Jason, “Jason, I'm not
feeling up to par. I'll head back now and treat everyone to dinner another day.”
“Sure,” Jason replied curtly.
Holly didn’t offer any explanation, and Jason didn’t ask anything. Then Holly
navigated her wheelchair away, leaving the group to turn their collective gaze
upon Jason.
With an edge in his voice, Jason snapped, “Why are you staring at me?"
Bryce shook his head, then, picking up his fork, he offered Estrella more food,
“Estrella, eat up.”
Their afternoon plans cut short, Jason left promptly, and Estrella soon followed.
Bryce drove her back, with Jesse in tow.
Inside the car, Jesse turned to Estrella and asked, “Estrella, what's your game
plan now?”
“Just business as usual,” Estrella replied with a smile.
“Right,” Bryce interjected, “stand your ground, and if Jason dares to upset you,
just kick him to the curb. You're too good to worry about finding men.”
Bryce’s rant continued, his mood soured by Holly's reappearance, lamenting how
the past

had spared her.
Estrella, unbothered by the day's events, simply touched her stomach gently,
pondering
her next move.
Soon, they arrived at Sandalwood Oasis, where Bryce and Jesse saw Estrella
inside. Bryce even snagged some of Jason's coffee before taking his leave.
Jesse, on parting, reminded Estrella to reach out if anything arose.
Once they left, the house fell silent, save for Marie muttering, “Mr. Bryce was still
the same, always fond of taking Mr. Jason's things.”
Estrella replied, “That's just who he is.”
“Ms. Estrella, you probably didn’t get a proper lunch outside. Let me whip up
some pasta for you, and I'll also prepare some fruit,” Marie offered.
“Alright, thank you, Marie.”.
Marie beamed and bustled off to the kitchen.
Alittle while later, Estrella was tucking into her meal, her thoughts intermittently
returning to Holly's unexpected appearance today. Holly's parents were
surprisingly accommodating, even agreeing to her bizarre idea of staging a mock
funeral.
Meanwhile, in the CEO's office of Nelson International, Jason had settled down
at his desk.
The Ledford family had once casually mentioned that Holly had passed away. At
that time, they didn’t dwell on it and went ahead to mourn at Holly's pretended
funeral. Who would've thought that she’d reappear after more than three years?
Fidgeting with the phone on his desk, Jason found a number that he hadn't
dialed in years. Several times, he had thought about reaching out, only to
hesitate, but in the end, he mustered the courage to dial Estrella’s number.
“Home safe?”
“Yes, was about to nap when you called,” Estrella held the phone in one hand,
with the other resting on her eyes.
“Rest up. I'll be home soon.”
“Okay.”
Estrella hung up, pulled the covers closer, and drifted to sleep, unswayed by the
local astonishment over Holly’s miraculous re-emergence.
When she woke up in the evening, Jason was already there, watching her sleep.
“Back already?” she mumbled, half-asleep.

“You've been sleeping a lot,” Jason commented, his hand brushing her forehead.
“Too many court cases, they tire the brain,” Estrella yawned, adding, “I'm hungry.”
Her appetite had grown fierce these last few days. A large bowl of pasta and a
heap of fruit at noon had barely sufficed.
Jason gently ruffled her hair. “Let's go downstairs and get you something to eat.”
Jason didn’t bring up Holly, and Estrella, being smart, also chose not to mention
it, pretending as if that person had never appeared.
Downstairs, Marie cheerfully noted Estrella’s restful afternoons and encouraged
an early night.

Jason tightened his hold on her, resting his chin comfortably on her shoulder.
Estrella, basking in his warmth, allowed her eyelids to flutter shut, drifting off
without another word.
Smart as a whip, Estrella wasn't the type to stir up trouble, but God help anyone
who managed to get on her bad side.
