Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1186

Chapter 1186

Manley was decked out in black from head to toe; even his earrings were black. Despite looking pretty hardcore, his handsome face gave off a cool yet captivating aura.

He wrapped his arms around Estelle, letting out a long sigh. “Finally, I can relax!”

Estelle lightly pushed him away. “When did you get back? Why didn’t you call me?”

“I just got back; I hadn’t even been sitting for an hour before I thought I’d surprise you!” Manley smiled, grabbing Estelle’s chin. “Let’s see, have you lost weight?”

“No!” Estelle swatted his hand away and said, “Quit being a smooth talker!”

Manley kept his smile, but his eyes held a different meaning: “I just got back and you’re already giving me grief? Don’t you care about what I’ve been up to? As soon as I heard about you and Gwen, I hopped on the first plane back!”

Estelle let out a faint smile and said, “That’s all in the past now.”

“But I just saw the news back home yesterday.” Manley’s face turned serious. “How’s Gwen?”

“Not sure; I haven’t heard from her recently!”

Manley smirked. “Gwen put you through hell, and Jonathan just let her off the hook?”

Estelle replied calmly, “Gwen’s in a worse situation than me!”

She turned to put the dessert in the dining room, then looked back at him and said, “It’s all in the past; don’t stir up trouble!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything. I’m not Jonathan; I’m not going to clean up his mess!”

Manley followed her to the back and said, “Go change; we’re going out for dinner!”

“No, you haven’t seen Emily in a while; let’s eat downstairs.” Estelle said casually.

“I want to be alone with you!” Manley whined, “I’m leaving tomorrow. I trekked all the way back here just to see you; can we at least have dinner together?”

Estelle asked in surprise, “You’re leaving tomorrow?”

“Do you want me to stay? If you ask, I’ll stay even if the sky falls down!” Manley looked at her eagerly.

Estelle glanced at him and asked, “Are we going or not?”

‘Let’s go!” Manley grinned, holding Estelle’s hand as they left.

After getting in Manley’s car, Estelle called Emily, telling her they couldn’t have dinner tonight, and left some dessert at her door.

After hanging up, Manley turned to ask, “How are Emily and Kya?”

“They’re good; Emily isn’t going back to Oakdale City.” Estelle said.

Manley seemed to have expected it; he chuckled, “It’s because of Charlie, right?”

“Yep!”

“Ever since Charlie saw Kya, I knew their story wasn’t over.”
