Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2349

Xavier said, "I wasn't keen on saying yes in the first place."

Norah's eyes twinkled mischievously as she laughed, "If Grandpa Hanson knew that Henson and I came here to stir things up, he'd be furious!"

Xavier's lips curved into a smirk. "He won't be angry. He knows how to separate personal feelings from business."

In the presence of the Lamont family, what's a lady from the Raye family worth?

Norah could sense the hostility Xavier harbored towards his father in his words, so she chose to stay silent.

Xavier fiddled with a lighter between his fingers and asked, "Has Henson caught onto us?"

Norah sipped her milk tea and nodded. "Yeah, he figured it out last night."

Xavier frowned. "Let's not let any more people find out."

Norah looked up. "Why not?"

Xavier remained silent. Of course, it was for her reputation. She was the Lamont family's golden girl, always under the spotlight. Falling for the son of her grandfather's friend wasn't something to be proud of. It would become fodder for gossip.

He glanced at the time and said, "Ms. Cicely will be here soon. We should head over."

"Sure!"

Norah stood up. "I'll text Henson."

They left through the garden's back gate, heading towards the teahouse across the street.

The thought of accompanying Xavier on a date made Norah chuckle at the absurdity.

They reached the second floor of the teahouse and waited. Soon after, Henson arrived, clutching his air rifle.

Xavier asked, "You know how to shoot?"

Norah chimed in, "Estelle taught him."

Xavier laughed. "I was teaching Estelle how to shoot when she was about your age!"
