Find Me In Your Labyrinth

Chapter 69

The hosts of today’s party, the Waldo family, weren’t as highly–regarded as the Lamont family or the Scott family in J City. But they had been prosperous merchants for generations, so they were considered quite a wealthy family.

Mr. Waldo, a man in his forties with a hint of a paunch, looked elegant and scholarly. When he saw Manley, he greeted him with a smile, “Manley, it’s been a while! How’s your dad holding up?”

Manley’s father had this son from his old age, and he, now over seventy, preferred a quiet, low–profile life and rarely attended such events.

Manley responded with a refined smile, “He’s good. He said he would like you to visit our house when you’re free”

“I’ll definitely pay a visit some other day!” Mr. Waldo said with a full smile, then turned to Estelle, “And who is this lovely lady?”

Manley gripped Estelle’s hand discreetly and introduced her with a faint smile, “A friend of mine.”

Estelle didn’t expect Manley to suddenly hold her hand. Caught off guard and feeling awkward in front of the host, she endured in silence.

There were quite a few people standing in the banquet hall, all looking over. One person teased, “Mr. Scott got himself a new girlfriend again?”
