Chapter 222

Back at the villa, Jonathan was working in the study, while Estelle went straight to her bedroom and stood on the balcony, looking at the scenery in the manor.

No matter what, she had nothing but fond memories of this place, including the times spent with Winnie and Mrs. Macy.

She heard footsteps approaching behind her, and soon, a man’s arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, bending down to her ear and asking, “What’s on your mind?”

Estelle slightly tilted her head and replied softly, “Winnie and Baldrick broke up. She’s booked a flight to M Country this afternoon.”

Jonathan’s face remained calm, merely saying, “Baldrick isn’t a good guy. It’s a good thing they split up for Winnie.”

Estelle chuckled and asked, “What about you, Mr. Lamont? Are you a good guy?”

Jonathan pinched her chin, forcing her to tilt her head back, and smiled, “There are no absolute good people in this world, especially for a businessman. Whether I’m a good person or not doesn’t matter. All you need to consider is if I’m a good person to you.”

Estelle looked into his eyes, thinking for a moment that he had heard her conversation with Winnie. She remained calm, lightly smiling, and said, “If Mr. Lamont lets me eat a bucket of ice cream every day, I’ll admit you’re a good person.”
