Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397

Jonathan and Henson were playing baseball, while Estelle watched from the sidelines for a bit. She noticed that Jonathan kept glancing at her now and then, so worried that Hensonwould catch on, she didn’t dare watch anymore and went back to sit in the resting area.

She took out her phone and saw that there was still time, so she played sudoku for a bit.

The late summer sun was no longer scorching, but as it shone through the glass window, it still felt blazing hot.

Jonathan played, occasionally catching Estelle’s glance. The afternoon sunlight fell on the girl, enveloping her in a bright glow.

He could almost see the wisps of hair fluttering near her temples, her long and dark eyelashes, and her flawless, rosy cheeks.

The light seemed to reflect into his heart, sweeping away all the shadows deep within.

Estelle played two rounds of sudoku, put down her phone, and got up to go to the bathroom.

Henson, who had been practicing with a private coach for an hour and then with Jonathan for over half an hour, was sweaty and ran to the resting area for a drink. Jonathan came over, sat down on the sofa, and laughed, “Not bad, you’re, improving!”

Henson replied with determination, “I’m aiming for the championship!”

Jonathan was in a good mood, so he encouraged him, “You got this!”

A message suddenly popped up on the phone next to them. Jonathan glanced at it and saw it was Estelle’s phone. The screen was still on, and the message showed. Xavier: [Coming over tonight?]

Jonathan squinted at the screen and frowned, watching as his expression darkened.

Xavier?

When Estelle returned, Jonathan and Henson were still playing. Henson didn’t mind getting tired as he was determined to win the championship, so he continued to train. Estelle picked up her phone and saw the message from Xavier. Suddenly thinking about her appointment with Jonathan, her expression softened.

[Can’t tonight, something came up. Won’t be able to join you for dinner.]

After eating Emily’s cooking, Estelle gave up learning to cook and either went to Emily’s for dinner or stayed at Xavier’s.

Occasionally, Xavier would ask her if she’s coming so he could prepare a meal for three.

The sun had set, and the daytime bustle was coming to an end.

Estelle returned home, took a shower, and changed clothes. She picked up her phone as soon as she came out, but there were no new messay

Her clear eyes were silent and cold as she stood on the balcony, staring as the streetlights began to illuminate the street. The sky, tinged with a bluish-gray coldness, enhanced the sense of desolation. Suddenly, her mood became disinterested.

Not hungry and having already informed Xavier she wouldn’t be joining him for dinner, she didn’t want to go to Emily’s either, so she just cooked something for herself.

At eight o’clock, Jonathan called the driver and asked where he had dropped off Estelle.

The driver respectfully replied that she got off at the entrance of the University of J City.

Jonathan hung up the phone and dialed Nate, “Look into someone named Xavier.”

Nate immediately agreed.
