Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Blythe had been waiting for Estelle in the office building Seeing her come out, Blythe immediately ran over and asked, “So, what did the advisor say? How are they gonna punish you?”

Estelle, carrying a backpack with both hands on the straps, replied calmly, “Why would they punish me? It was self-defense!”

Blythe looked at her disbelievingly, “Brooke’s leg is broken, and her dad came in all angry. You think they’ll just let it go?”

Estelle chuckled, “Well, it’s all settled now!”

Although Blythe had doubts, she breathed a sigh of relief, followed Estelle out of school while murnbling, “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been obsessed with my crush, we would’ve left earlier, and this wouldn’t have happened.” Estelle didn’t mind, “Brooke seemed prepared, maybe she was waiting for me out there. Leaving early or late wouldn’t make a difference!”

“Serves her right for breaking her leg!” Blythe was furious, but then her expression changed, and her eyes lit up while looking at Estelle. “Estelle, have you practiced martial arts? Teach me how to take down Brooke with just one move!”

Estelle pursed her lips, “It was probably just a coincidence!”

Blythe rolled her eyes, “I got excited for nothing, I thought you were from some mysterious martial arts family!” Estelle sneered, “Watch fewer novels; they’re not good for your brain development!”

As they talked and laughed, they slowly walked out of the school gate. Just outside the gate, Blythe tugged Estelle’s arm and gestured to the left, “Look, it’s Angel Carmella!”

Estelle looked over to see a Mercedes parked by the side of the road. The driver had stepped out and was helping Carmella into the car.

Many people stopped and stared, girls filled with envy and boys filled with admiration. Some even shouted “Goddess!”

Blythe sighed, “Why is Carmella so lucky? Good at academics, pretty and born into a rich family! If I had just one of these things, I’d worship the god for treating me well!”

Estelle averted her gaze, smiling, “The last two are predetermined, but you can work hard on the first one!” “Forget it, with my IQ, I can’t catch up even if I work hard. But you can!” Blythe turned to look at Estelle, “Honestly, if you had a rich dad, the Campus Queen title wouldn’t belong to anyone else. Unfortunately, you lost to Carmella in family background, so you can only be a Campus Princess.”

Estelle nodded in agreement, “You can secretly call me the Campus Queen.”

Blythe burst into laughter, dragging Estelle to buy ice cream across the street, “Stop dreaming! It’s my treat today to help you calm down!”

“Then I want two!” Estelle took advantage.

“Fine, you’re pretty, so you get to decide!”

Carmella returned to the villa by car. Today Bennett came home early, and the family of three had dinner together.

Sitting at the main seat of the table, Bennett said to Simone, “When you have time, call Estelle and invite her home for dinner this weekend.”

Simone looked up, “Is something wrong?”

“Can’t we just invite Estelle for dinner without any reason? Bennett frowned slightly. “Besides, there was a misunderstanding on your birthday. If we meet, the misunderstanding will be cleared up.”

Simone felt guilty and said, “You call her then!”

Carmella scooped a spoonful of salad for Simone, smiling softly, “Dad’s right. There’s no overnight hatred among family members. I’ll make a cake for Estelle this weekend.”

Simone looked pleased, “Carmella is so thoughtful! Oh, by the way.”

She put down her spoon and quickly said, “Mr. Mullins called me this afternoon. He mentioned there’s an art exhibition at the art museum in early June. He suggested you prepare a painting that might be exhibited there.”

“Really?” Carmella’s eyes lit up, “I’ll start preparing right away!”

“Yeah,” Simone nodded.

After dinner, Carmella went to her room to think about the theme for the exhibit. Simone came in with a bowl of Strawberry Soup. “I noticed you didn’t eat much tonight. I asked Addy to make this.”

Carmella took out her previous paintings and asked Simone to help her decide.

As the mother and daughter talked, Carmella yawned and suggested that Simone keep looking while she went to take a shower.
