Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2479

"No talking to him!" Jason pressed his kiss a bit harder.

Sophia said, "I misunderstood him before and said some harsh things. If I get a chance, I'd like to apologize."

Jason paused, his voice deepening, "Then we'll go together when I get back. If you still want to apologize by then, that is. But under no circumstances are you to meet him alone."

"Mhm," Sophia nodded lightly.

Jason scooped her up and headed towards the bedroom.

It wasn't until they were inside that Sophia finally realized, "What are we doing?"

"It's dark, time for a bath and bed. What else?" Jason removed his glasses and kissed her lips.

Sophia chuckled, "It's only eight!"

"Yeah, that's late enough!" Jason murmured softly, his kiss leaving no room for debate.

He was leaving the day after tomorrow, gone for several days, so every second now was too precious to waste.

Wednesday morning, Jason headed off to Kentucky, leaving all the studio's responsibilities on Sophia's shoulders. She became even busier, which somewhat helped to distract her from missing him.

Living in his house, every corner filled with his presence made her miss him constantly. The house was too big, and it made her think of him all the time.

They would video call at night, watching each other work, read, or do other things, until Sophia lay in bed. Jason would only turn off the call once she had fallen asleep.

The first message on her phone every morning was from Jason, wishing her a good morning and reminding her not to skip breakfast.

He also kept an eye on the weather in J City, advising her to bring an umbrella or wear more layers if it was cold.

He'd even order her favorite dishes for lunch ahead of time.

Sophia opened her tablet, showing her the design sketches and the final product renderings.

Yolanda's eyes brightened at first, but after flipping through the designs a few times, she looked up with dissatisfaction, "This is Snowy Studios' standard? Seems quite overrated to me!"

Sophia responded, "If there's anything specific you're unhappy with, please let me know. I can adjust it based on your feedback."

"I'm unhappy with everything!" Yolanda pushed the tablet back with such force that it nearly fell off the table.

Sophia calmly retrieved the tablet, offering a mild smile, "Perhaps my abilities are limited and can't meet your high expectations. If you still trust Snowy Studios, I can assign another designer to work on your project."

She guessed that Connor must have pressured Yolanda into backing down on the seven-carat diamond ring.

Yolanda didn't want to admit she found the ring too expensive, nor did she want to lower her pride. So, she chose to nitpick and find excuses, ultimately aiming to reject the ring.

Sophia understood and played along with her charade.
