Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2006

Estelle's face lit up with a smile as she answered the video call, "Grandpa!"

Back in C City, the sky was just as clear and Old Mr. Jarvis greeted her with twinkling eyes, "Happy birthday, my dear!"

With a playful grin, Estelle responded, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

"I've got your birthday presents, from me and your brother, all set up in your room. Old Wade mentioned something about having spaghetti for a birthday lunch, to celebrate your day. He Justin are brainstorming some new twists to make it look so tempting, you might just fly back home to have some!" Old Mr. Jarvis chuckled, "I bet that was Justin's idea."

Estelle felt a warm surge of gratitude, "Thanks to Mr. Justin, and Old Mr. Wade too."

"So, how long are you staying abroad?" Old Mr. Jarvis inquired.

"Just a few more days, then I'll be back to keep you company," Estelle replied with a relaxed smile.

"And today, is anyone throwing a birthday party for you? Did you get any cake?" Old Mr. Jarvis knew how much Estelle loved sweets; a birthday without cake is simply unthinkable.

"Oh yes, lots of fans and the event organizers sent me so many cakes!" Estelle boasted, "I can hardly fit them all in the room!"

"Estelle, you are truly amazing!" Old Mr. Jarvis couldn't hide his pride.

He looked at her affectionately, "Come back soon. Jonathan will be worried too."

"I will!" Estelle nodded, "Very soon."

"All right, get back to your day, and remember to have some extra cake," Old Mr. Jarvis advised.

"And you make sure to have some extra spaghetti, it'll be as if I'm there too."

"Will do!"

After they ended the call, Old Mr. Jarvis set down his phone, the smile fading from his face to be replaced by a look of deep concern.

He knew Estelle was involved in something dangerous, yet he had to pretend ignorance to avoid worrying her.
