Chapter 272
During mealtime, Mrs. Lamont occasionally asked Estelle about her school lessons. Estelle would subtly steer the conversation towards Norah, so she could chat more with Mrs. Lamont.
Jonathan noticed her intention, and when their eyes casually met, he smiled almost imperceptibly.
Estelle quickly looked away, her face calm, but her mind tensed up.
Fortunately, Jonathan didn’t give her a hard time. He just quietly ate his meal, and when the servant brought dessert, he subtly handed it over, placing it closest to Estelle.
As the meal was almost over, Jonathan finally spoke up, “Where are you going later, Ms. Macclain? I’m about to go out too and can give you a ride.”
Estelle looked up and politely said, “No need, I can just take a taxi back.”
Norah chimed in, “It’s hard to get a taxi here. Let my uncle give you a ride since he’s going that way.”
Jonathan nodded, “My mom just asked me to look after you. Don’t be shy!”
Estelle gave out a dry laugh, “Alright, then. Thanks, Mr. Lamont.”
After the meal, Estelle bid farewell to Mrs. Lamont and Norah. Mrs. Lamont kindly smiled, “Come visit whenever you have time.”
“Thank you for your hospitality!” Estelle thanked her again.
Jonathan waited by the door for Estelle, and when he heard her calling Mrs. Lamont “grandma,” his brows involuntarily wrinkled, feeling a bit displeased.
When the two drove away from the Lamont family, Jonathan finally spoke up, “Could you not call my mom ‘grandma‘?”
Estelle held back her laughter and said seriously, “It’s not like I wanted to, but she told me to call her that!”
As the car approached downtown, Jonathan received a phone call from Millard. “Mr. Lamont, there’s a bit of trouble at the dock.”
Millard explained briefly, basically that Jonathan had ordered all the docks in J City not to accept Austin’s goods. However, this morning, someone broke into Golden Bay Dock No.14 and beat up the Lamont family’s people, so both sides were now in a standoff.
