Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2138

Estelle greeted Sylvia, Marina, and the others as the waiter came over with a tray of drinks and foods. They formed a lively circle, the buzz of conversation growing louder.

Estelle hadn't expected Evelyn to show up, but they had met before, so no formal introductions were necessary.

She turned to Marina with a smile. "I've been wanting to thank you, and I'm so glad we could finally meet today."

Marina laughed heartily. "No need for thanks among friends."

Estelle nodded. "Well, if you ever need anything, just holler."

Marina knew Estelle well enough to take her word as genuine friendship. She pursed her lips and nodded. "Deal."

They clinked glasses in agreement.

Estelle then looked at Amiee. "When are the invitations going out?"

Magdalen's eyes lit up with surprise. "Amiee, you're getting married? Is the date set?"

Sophia chimed in, "December 26th. It's coming up fast."

Amiee smiled serenely. "The invites will be sent out in the next couple of days. I hope everyone can make it."

"We wouldn't miss it," Magdalen raised her glass. "Let's toast to Amiee's last month of freedom—may it be blissfully single."

The girls laughed and raised their glasses, the sound of toasting ringing pleasantly in the air.

Magdalen, after a hearty sip, asked Marina, "And you and Mr. Foster have been engaged for a while. Set a date yet?"

Marina joked, "Spare me, please. Being engaged is enough, why rush to slap another chain on me? Right now, if he flirts with someone else, I can turn a blind eye. Married? That's a whole different game of pretense."

Magdalen laughed loudly. "How can you be so refreshingly candid?"

Marina replied, "A woman can live clear-headed as long as she doesn't get sentimental."

Sylvia nodded in agreement. "You speak the truth."

Marina toasted with her. "Here's to us, the clear-headed ones."

"Cheers to that," Sylvia clinked her glass with Marina's.
