Estelle's eyes twinkled, her lips curving into a faint smile.
Jonathan took Estelle's hand in his, "You wanted to chat with Ella, right? Can it wait until another day? She's had a draining day, dealing with reporters and all. Let her rest up before she spends time with you."
Catherine immediately responded, "Oh dear, that's my fault. You go ahead and take Estelle upstairs."
Jonathan led Estelle towards the staircase, and she turned back to bid Catherine goodnight.
Around the corner, Henson glanced back at Norah with a hint of provocation in his tone, "Still planning to talk to Estelle?"
Norah rolled her eyes, "Jonathan's got her under lock and key. Estelle must be so fed up with him. We should rescue her!"
Henson, heading to his room, snorted, "Go if you want, but leave me out of it. I'm counting on Jonathan to teach me boxing over the winter break!"
Norah followed him, "So you're just going to ignore Estelle because you're afraid of upsetting Jonathan?"
"Estelle's got Jonathan," Henson retorted, "She's happy as can be. Worry about yourself instead!"
"What's wrong with me?" Norah blinked in surprise.
"Aren't you heartbroken? You've been moping around lately," Henson observed her closely.
Norah slumped over the banister, "It's not heartbreak; it's unrequited love. And the guy doesn't even like me."
"Really? Who's this guy with such nerve?" Henson's eyes lit up with curiosity.
"He's not bold; just indifferent, barely notices me," Norah said, filled with frustration.
"Then chase after him!" Henson looked at her with disdain. "If he's not into someone else, you've got a chance. You have to fight for what you want!"
Norah bit her lip, murmuring, "He already said he's not into me. Wouldn't it be humiliating to keep pursuing him?"
"What matters more to you—this guy or your pride?" Henson raised an eyebrow.
"Of course he matters more!" Norah blurted out, then stamped her foot in frustration, "You don't get it. It's not just about my pride. I don't want to annoy him."
