Chapter 1403
Estelle sidestepped Jonathan’s hand, a shadow falling over her eyes. They had lost their usual sparkle, looking as dim as the impending dusk.
1 need some me time”
“Yvonne came to me because of Zack. She was emotional and cut her own wrist with a knife. I just had Mae bandage it up, Jonathan explained, his face
“Why was she in your bed?” Estelle asked
Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows. “I have no clue, and I was in the study next door the whole time.”
Estelle kept her head down, silent
“What’s on your mind? Can you tell me?” Jonathan asked, his mood heavy. “Don’t be like this?
Estelle kept her head down, not wanting to speak, not even wanting to look at Jonathan.
Jonathan looked at her with deep-set eyes. “Ella, don’t you trust me? After all, we’ve been through, don’t you know how much I love you? How could I ever have feelings for another woman!”
Estelle frowned. 1 feel a bit messed up. Can you leave me alone for a bit?”
“No!” Jonathan grabbed Estelle’s hand. “If you have something to say, say it. Or if you have any doubts, I’ll answer all of them.“
Estelle shook her head. I don’t know. I just want to be alone.”
“No, I can’t leave you alone at a time like this?”
A glint of indifference flashed through Estelle’s eyes. “Jonathan, there have always been issues between us, right?”
Jonathan was taken aback, his gaze hardening “What issues?”
Estelle ran a hand through her hair, pushing it back in frustration. Her mind was a jumbled mess, and she couldn’t make sense of anything.
“Tell me, what issues do we have?” Jonathan insisted, his gaze fixed on her
Estelle looked at him blankly, asking, “Jonathan, can we go back to how things were?”
“What do you mean?” Jonathan’s face, hidden in the shadows, looked severe and clear.
“Have you ever thought about marrying me?” Estelle asked softly.
“Of course, you’re already my wife,”
“Then why have you been making me take birth control?” Estelle asked.
Jonathan was struck dumb.
Estelle lowered her head, her voice gradually calming down.
“I’ve always been confused, but never asked you, just like when you saw me and Jason coming out of the little black room that day. You were clearly upset, but you didn’t ask me either. When did we start being so cautious with each other, unable to be honest?”
“I know there are feelings between us. Because of those feelings, I dare not ask. Our interactions are like walking on thin ice, afraid that any little thing will plunge our relationship into crisis again”
“We’re no longer sure about each other’s feelings. Our repaired relationship is full of cracks. It’s exhausting, isn’t it?”
Jonathan slowly bent down to sit next to Estelle, not saying a word.
The two of them sat there in the dark.
The neon lights of J City flickered on as night fell, casting a brilliant glow that failed to light up the room where the two of them sat.
After a long time, Jonathan finally spoke. “To be honest, you don’t trust me anymore. I’ve hurt you before, and even though you came back to me, you don’t trust me anymore.”
Estelle’s voice was heavy and hoarse. I’ve tried very hard to go back to how we were, but you’re right, there’s always been a knot in my heart.”
Therefore, the appearance of Manley or Yvonne lying in Jonathan’s bed wasn’t the crux of the problem. The fundamental issue was that they no longer trusted each other.
Jonathan’s heart ached, his throat tightening. “So, what are you trying to say? Are you trying to break up with me?”

“Sorry, maybe I screwed up.”

Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
Well, well, well. I love how Gonzalez sent out the warning that he's the CEO and either they will acknowledge him as such or get their due diligence. I'm waiting to see how the Franco family will be walking on eggs and come into a new understanding of Gonzalez taking charge. Thank you so much for the five updates....
Adrian is hoping that he has a chance with Norah and will do everything and anything in his power to keep Norah and Xavier apart....
Thank you for the updates. I hope that Norah will remember Xavier and their relationship before the accident and that they will ever be to....
Thank you, thank you for the updates today, which is also my birthday. The saga continues. I really want Norah and Xavier to be together... but he has to want Norah....
May we have updates please. Thank you....
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
Why can't m Xavier just admit that he loves Norah...
Norah took Estelle to tutor her brother. Both of them are around the same age. So why is Janice and Xavier father feel that there's an age gap for Norah and Xavier. L I know they will be together....
