Find Me In Your Labyrinth

Chapter 18

When Estelle left, Jonathan also needed to go out, so he gave her a ride back to the city center.

Sharing such a confined space with Jonathan, Estelle felt a bit uncomfortable and pretended to look at the scenery outside.

As the car hit the asphalt road, Jonathan looked ahead and said calmly, “So, Manley’s pursuing you?”

“What?”

Estelle was surprised and didn’t expect Jonathan to know about it.

“I saw him giving you flowers outside the University of J City.” Jonathan explained, as if he knew what she was thinking.

“Oh!” Estelle nodded slightly.

Jonathan’s elegant hand held the steering wheel, and the noon sunlight shone on his profile, casting a halo that outlined his well-defined jaw, handsome and noble.

His voice was low and steady, “Before you consider Manley, there’s something I need to tell you. He and Lucille are cousins. Lucille’s mom is his aunt.”

This surprised Estelle, so that’s how it was!

Jonathan continued, “I don’t know if Manley’s pursuit of you is genuine, but I feel responsible to tell you about their relationship. Whether you agree to be with Manley is up to you.”

Estelle looked out the car window, her lips curved slightly, “No need to make a decision, I don’t think he will come to see me again!”

“Hmm?” Jonathan didn’t understand what she meant and looked at her through the rearview mirror.

Her eyebrows and eyelashes were coal black, her lips were rose red, and her teeth were pearl white. She had at natural sense of beauty. Under the sunlight, her slightly chubby face looked so tender, making people tempted to pinch it.

Estelle stayed silent, just reveling in her thoughts, smiling to herself.

She was in a good mood and said goodbye to Jonathan with a smile when she got off the car.

Estelle bought two boxes of the popular “starry sky” candies from a dessert shop near the school, took the bus back to Villa del Sol, and gave Emily one box after getting off at Maple Street.

Back at the villa, she spent the afternoon reading, playing games, teasing Max, and time quickly passed. At six, she received a call from Magdalen, who was already on her way.

an hour later, Magdalen parked her red Porsche outside the villa, took off her sunglasses, and whistled, “Hey, beauty!
