Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1395

Chapter 1395

The two were in conversation, leaving Sallie and Henson standing in shock.

Estelle knew Liam? And they seemed close, too. That was unexpected!

Sallie gingerly approached and asked, “Estelle, are you friends with Mr. Gellar?”

Estelle chuckled, “My mentor, Old Mr. Quintin, and Mr. Gellar go way back. Years ago, I stayed with them for a while. It was a long time ago, and I thought Mr. Gellar had forgotten about me, so I never mentioned it to you guys”

Estelle’s design style had always leaned towards the traditional, heavily influenced by Mr. Gellar, who was her design mentor.

Mr. Gellar laughed. “How could I forget you? I really wanted to convince Old Mr. Quintin to let you become my student. After all, you loved designing clothes too. But Old Mr. Quintin wouldn’t budge” ·

With clear eyes. Estelle replied, In my heart, you’re also my teacher”

“Are you still studying?” Liam asked.

Tve graduated, and working at Jason’s design studio now” Estelle responded respectfully.

“Good, very good!” Liam nodded, “Jason’s great too. Both of you make Old Mr. Quintin very proud!”

At this point, Liam seemed a bit down. Old Mr. Quintin had many students all over the world, but his own craft was on the brink of extinction.

The servant brought in coffee, and Liam motioned for Sallie and the others to sit.

Liam shook his head, “Being on TV only attracts people who are in it for the profit. I’ve had enough of those experiences. They come to me wanting to learn, but in reality, they just want to get famous. They’re impatient, fake, and none of them are genuinely interested in learning my craft

Estelle smiled, “So, do you want to find a successor for your craft?

Liam nodded eagerly, “Of course, but learning a craft requires grit. Today’s youngsters can’t stand the solitude or the hard work.”

“I recall you talking about your youth with Old Mr. Quintin. You didn’t want to learn the craft and preferred going out to watch operas and listen to stories. But as time passed, you matured and took over the Gellar tailor store from your father. Over the years, your business has flourished, and pretty much everyone knows that the Gellar family’s hand-embroidered roses are one of a kind”

Liam grinned, “Estelle, what are you trying to say?”

“All young people go through a restless phase, but as long as they truly love the art, they would eventually immerse themselves in it like you did.” Estelle replied with a soft smile, “Many people sought advice from Old Mr. Quintin, mostly for fame and profit. But Old Mr. Quintin once said that out of every hundred people, there would be one who genuinely wanted to learn art. He was there for that one person, so he was willing to sift through a hundred people.”
