Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2426

Jason startled awake, quickly turning his head. His eyes, groggy and slightly panicked from just waking up, searched for Sophia.

Sophia, turning her head, asked in a sleepy voice, “Did I sleep long? What time is it?”

Jason’s gaze had already settled back to calm. He glanced at his watch. “Just hit 8!”

He looked outside at the persistent drizzle, saying softly, “I’ll get out first. You stay in the car.”

He grabbed the umbrella from the car door, stepped out, and then walked around to the passenger side, opening the door. He first draped his jacket around Sophia before holding the umbrella over her, guiding her out of the car.

From start to finish, not a single drop of rain touched her.

Walking towards the apartment complex together, Jason tilted the umbrella, shielding Sophia completely from the rain.

Once they were in the elevator, Sophia noticed Jason's shoulder was wet and frowned, “The umbrella was big enough, why did you let yourself get wet?”

“It’s alright, we’re almost home,” Jason said lightly.

Sophia was about to speak but suddenly, a thought struck her, and she asked in surprise, “Why did you park outside?”

They could have parked in the garage and avoided the rain altogether.

Jason looked at her deeply, “Didn’t you say you sleep better with the sound of rain?”

Her eyes whirled around, unsure what to say next.

The casual banter they once shared seemed like a distant memory now.

Entering the house, Sophia turned on the light and confidently found her way to the living room, knowing exactly where the slippers were.
