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

Chapter 166
[Jason, let's meet up today.] The message came from Holly, whose account had
been dormant for years.
Staring at the message for a long time, Jason turned his gaze towards Estrella,
who was still half-asleep. He pulled the blanket up to cover her shoulders, then
replied to Holly's message before getting out of bed.
As Jason got dressed and ready, Estrella opened her eyes, her voice groggy, “Up
so early?” “Yeah, got a bit of a thing,” Jason said, looking down at her.
Estrella nodded, grabbing the pillow next to her and hugging it to her chest, not
pressing him on what the matter was.
The door gently closed behind him, and Estrella’s eyes, which had been closed,
slowly opened a little wider. Everything seemed to proceed just as she expected.
Jason arrived at the coffee shop they'd agreed on, and Holly was already there.
When she saw him, she stood up and greeted him with a gentle, “Jason, how
have you been?”
Her voice and demeanor carried a sense of recovering from a serious illness,
and her spirit still wasn't very good.
“Good,” Jason sat down opposite her, and Holly ordered him an Americano.
A few moments later, when the server brought over the coffee, Holly watched
Jason with a faint smile and said, “My sudden reappearance yesterday must
have rattled you all, didn’t it?”
When Jason didn’t respond, Holly took a sip of her coffee, then set down the cup
gently and spoke deliberately, “The surgery back then wasn’t a complete failure. I
just couldn’ accept that version of myself. I couldn't accept being unable to stand,
and the scars or my face.”
“I didn’t know how to face everyone, especially you. Your folks were so fond of
Estrella and the idea of you two together. I felt that maybe it would be for the best
for everyone was just gone. My family didn’t know what to do with me, so they
went along with that charade.”
“Jason, I never meant to deceive anyone.” After a pause, Holly's voice softened
as she continued, “I've come back now because my health is gradually
improving, and those scars have faded. That gave me the courage to return.”
She paused, then asked, “Jason, have you uncovered the truth about that fire all
those years ago?”

At the mention of the fire's truth, Jason's eyes involuntarily narrowed.
Their eyes met, and Holly said, “With your capabilities, you must have figured it
out by now, right? I just never heard any fuss about it. Could it be that you
have...”
She trailed off into silence.
Jason just stared at her, not saying a word. Even though Holly hadn't said it, he
knew she must have learned the truth.
After a long silence, Holly gave a rueful smile, I almost lost my life. I've spent
these years in the hospital. My future, with this body...” She stopped, then
changed the subject, “But if you'd rather not dredge up the past, then let's leave
it. After all, you were a victim too.”
Jason didn’t pick up where Holly left off, instead asking, “What are your plans for
the future?”
“Now, I'm working at my uncle's company. As for my health, I'll just take it slow.”
Holly replied softly.
They sat a while longer, and then Holly mentioned feeling cold and wanting to
step outside into the sun. Jason agreed to go with her.
The coffee shop Holly had chosen, on the outskirts of Ravenwood, was a
charming garden café that offered a nice selection of coffees, pastries, and a
walking garden. Despite it being December, the weather was unusually clear, and
the garden flowers were in full bloom.
Walking side by side in the garden, Holly said at an unhurried pace, “I'm still not
fully recovered. My respiratory function is a bit weak, so I don't get around much.
When I get tired, Rebecca pushes me in the wheelchair.”
Holly's personal attendant Rebecca was the girl who drove the Maserati.
“The medical care back home has improved a lot, and you'll be back on your feet
soon.
“Yeah,” Holly replied, then smoothly shifted the topic, “You still couldn't go against
your family’s wishes and ended up with Estrella.”
Jason just pocketed his hands and kept silent.
Meanwhile, at Sandalwood Oasis.
Estrella had just woken up from a long sleep and came downstairs when Bryce
stormed i with
urgency, “Estrella.”
Yawning, Estrella asked, “What brings you here so early?”
Bryce retorted, “It's almost noon.”

Before Estrella could speak, Bryce quickly approached her, his voice filled with
indignation, “Estrella, do you know what I just saw? I must report this matter to
you.”

This morning, when Jason mentioned he was going out to take care of
something, Estrella actually already had a feeling about it.
After looking at the photos, Estrella turned to Bryce, “You've gone through a lot of
trouble this morning.”
Bryce replied, “It's no trouble. I just happened to come across them.”
Estrella chuckled. She couldn't quite believe Bryce’s claim of coincidence. More
likely, he'd been shadowing Jason since the school reunion ended, looking to
catch him in the act.
Estrella turned to Bryce and smiled. She didn't expose him; after all, Bryce just
didn’t want her to be kept in the dark.
Bryce caught Estrella’s silent smile and sensed the turmoil hidden beneath her
calm exterior. Placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, he said, “Estrella, if
something's eating at you, just spill it. Don’t bottle it all up inside.”
“And what's a guy, anyway? A dime a dozen, right?” he added. “Frankly, I think
you should cut ties with Jason sooner rather than later. Get a clean break, avoid
the heartache.”
