Chapter 1414
Yvonne, teary-eyed, said, “I’m still filming for Mr. Tucker. If I quit now, Mr. Tucker would have to reshoot my parts, and that’d pile more work on Estelle. I’ll leave J City after the film wraps up. I promise not to cause any trouble for Estelle in the meantime. Plus, if I leave now, it might give Estelle the wrong idea about you and deepen misunderstanding.”
Jonathan closed his eyes, as if holding back something. “If you upset her again, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
“I understand,” Yvonne replied, her voice trembling.
By the time they got back to J City, it was already evening. Estelle had locked herself in the study, working on drafts for several hours straight.
When she finally emerged, the sky was completely dark, and the living room was eerily quiet and lonely with no lights on.
Jonathan was sitting on the sofa, his tall figure barely visible in the dark.
Seeing Estelle, Jonathan turned on the floor lamp, gazing at her affectionately.
I’ve ordered dinner. It might be a bit cold now; let me heat it up for you.”
“No need. I’m going out for a bit and will grab something to eat,” Estelle responded coldly, and then headed for the door.
“Ella!” Jonathan got up to follow her.
Estelle stopped and turned, her eyes icy under the dim light. “Don’t follow me. And don’t just barge into my room anymore, or I’m moving out tomorrow” Jonathan looked at her, his eyes somber. “Ella, I haven’t done anything. You can’t treat me like this.”
“Give me some time to think,” Estelle said, her voice hoarse.
“How much time do you need? I’ll wait right here.
“I don’t want to see you!” Estelle turned and left, slamming the door behind her. The room fell back into its previous silence.
Jonathan stood there, watching Estelle’s retreating figure, feeling like his chest had been hollowed out. His heart was empty and numb with pain.
Estelle wandered aimlessly around a nearby supermarket and only came back with a bag of ice cream.
When she walked back in, only the light from the floor lamp was visible.
Jonathan was already gone.
Estelle sat on the balcony, opening the ice cream containers one by one and eating until she was freezing and couldn’t eat anymore.
She felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
Looking at the empty ice cream containers, she suddenly realized her relationship with Jonathan was just like the ice cream. It was her favorite, but it only caused her pain.
The next morning was hectic. By noon, Blythe returned to find Estelle slumped over her desk, seemingly asleep.
Hearing Blythe’s footsteps, Estelle lifted her head. Her usually sparkling eyes were dull and sad. “Did you hand in the script?”
“Yep, all done!” Blythe replied, pouring a glass of water for Estelle. She asked curiously. “What’s up with you, Estelle? Not feeling well?”
“I couldn’t sleep well last night,” she replied, taking a big gulp of water.
Blythe laughed, saying. “You look like you’re heartbroken too!”
Estelle paused her drinking, forced a smile, and asked, “How are you feeling? Any better?”
Blythe sat down and said, “I’m okay, I guess. I feel better when I’m busy, but I still miss him when I have nothing to do, especially at night. I can’t sleep” She bit her lip and looked at Estelle with a complex expression, saying, “He’s been trying to reach out to me.”
“Oh?” Estelle raised an eyebrow. “What for?”
“He wants us to get back together. He said that after we broke up, he realized that I was the one he truly loved. He doesn’t love his ex anymore, he just had a hard time accepting it before”

The readers' comments on the novel: Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)
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....
Norah isn't a girl, but a twenty -five year old beautiful woman that loves Xavier Fleming/Gonzalez/Hanson....
