Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2312

"Alright!"

Ansel had spent a good part of his life roughing it in the military, but in front of Gabriel, his junior, he always showed an involuntary respect.

As they walked into the house, the courtyard, usually only frequented by the cleaning staff, was alight with festive decorations, every corner brimming with the spirit of the New Year.

Gabriel, holding Sylvia's hand, asked, "Cold? Why are your hands so chilly?"

"Just standing outside for a bit will do that, no worries," Sylvia responded in a soft whisper.

"You really need to take better care of yourself."

"Yeah, I'll see to it when we get back."

"Don't just talk about it, be about it."

"I may ignore others, but I can't dare ignore you."

Their conversation was casual, not overly flirtatious, but there was an undeniable warmth between them.

Ann watched the pair, feeling increasingly melancholic.

As they entered the living room, Sylvia turned around, "Mr. Flair, Ms. Flair, please, make yourselves at home!"

"Of course, of course, we're all family here, no need for formalities!" Ansel said with a friendly laugh.

A servant brought over some snacks, and Sylvia made sure to ask for some special treats from C City for Ann to try. After a couple of polite refusals, Ann sat quietly behind Ansel.

Ansel inquired, "How's Old Mr. Jarvis doing? Still in good health?"

Gabriel replied, "Yes, he's doing well."

"Having you home for the holidays must've made Old Mr. Jarvis happy, everything's good then," Ansel chuckled.
