Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1985

Lambert let out a scornful snort, "Rella, not to burst your bubble, but claiming your love is better than me—that's just your opinion!"

"No, it's a very objective fact," Estelle replied, her voice steady.

"Let's not get into that right now. Have you thought about what I just—"

"There's nothing to consider!" Estelle cut him off once again, speaking in a cool tone, "Stop kidding yourself!"

With that, Estelle walked past him and headed upstairs.

"Rella," Lambert's gaze followed her intently, "I can give you everything, and that's no empty promise."

Estelle glanced back, "But I already have everything I need!"

In acknowledgment of the shrine and how he had stood up for her today, she wouldn't belittle his feelings and responded sincerely, "I'm truly sorry, but I can't return your affection. I hope you find someone who can genuinely love you back."

Lambert looked up, "I think I already have."

"Take it as a figment of your imagination," Estelle said with a slight smile, then turned and left.

Lambert exhaled, wondering if Estelle was just playing hard to get. Did she really have a boyfriend?

If so, why would her boyfriend allow her to come to Citadel alone?

He was determined to make her stay.

He was confident that he could make her want to remain by his side willingly.

As soon as she closed her room door, Estelle's annoyed expression emerged. Jonathan had asked her if Lambert had a thing for her, hadn't he?

She had vehemently denied it!
