30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband novel Chapter 355

Catrina chuckled softly, her voice calm and soothing. "Don't worry, that little guy is a sweetheart. A bit of sweet talk and he's all smiles. He loves the magic tricks I show him—just like the ones you taught me, Cole. It's heartwarming, really. He even smiles like you."

She paused, her eyes lingering on Cole. "Those tricks you taught me, I've passed them on to him. He adores them. It feels like a piece of you is always with us."

In her twisted logic, taking Cole's grandson with her was payback—a lasting memory for him, filled with regret.

Catrina's words made Estrella and Jason's hearts race, their minds screaming that this was madness.

Holly, visibly upset, confronted her mother. "Mom, does this mean you're leaving Korey and me behind? Have you thought about how abandoning us would make us feel? We can't just forgive you for that."

But Catrina reassured her, "Holly, don't be scared. I'm not going far. I'll always be with you and Korey, watching over you both."

Cole, struggling to keep his voice steady, looked up at Catrina. "Catrina, I was wrong. I failed you, but this has nothing to do with the kids. Please, be reasonable."

"Were we wrong?" Catrina laughed bitterly. "Our mistake was caring too much about what others thought, trying too hard to be the good guys. You weren't as steadfast as Jason."

Holly's frustration boiled over. "Mom, how can you justify this? Obsessing over another man to the point of madness—where does that leave Dad? He's showered you with more love than anyone ever could, and yet, you've never truly seen him as your husband."

Pointing accusingly at Cole, she continued, "You're clinging to a past with a man who abandoned you, planning a future that excludes Dad. How is that fair to him?"

"If your love was so grand, you shouldn't have married, shouldn't have dragged Dad into this mess, shouldn't have had us. You should've clung to your broken love and that run-down warehouse for the rest of your life."
