Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1842

The ballroom was alive with chatter and the rustle of silk. A soft blush adorned Emily's cheeks as she nodded subtly in acknowledgment.

Charlie descended the staircase, Kya in his arms. Kya waved back at Magdalen, "I'll be right back!"

Magdalen's smile was radiant. "Take your time, I'll be here!"

After Kya left, the makeup artist approached with a grin. "Magdalen, it's time to slip into the wedding gown!"

At that moment, Magdalen's phone buzzed. She glanced at the message and told the makeup artist, "Hold on a sec!"

It was a text from Morrison. [Grandpa Jarvis and Grandpa Quintin have arrived. They're in the VIP lounge at the back, hanging out with dad and the others. No worries.]

Magdalen quickly replied to Morrison and turned to Estelle, "Grandpa's here, chilling in the back."

Estelle's eyes twinkled with joy, "I'll go say hi to him!"

Sophia chimed in eagerly, "I'll come too! I haven't seen Grandpa Jarvis in ages!"

Emily suggested, "You guys go ahead. I'll keep Magdalen company."

Estelle nodded, "We'll be back in a flash!"

"Send my love, and I'll come to pay my respects with tea later!" Magdalen said cheerfully.

"Mhm."

As Estelle and Sophia made their way to the VIP area to greet Grandpa Jarvis, they noticed the first floor was even more crowded than before, with elegantly dressed guests mingling and conversing in small groups.

The Macclains had received an invitation from the Langstons, and Elizabeth, surrounded by her daughters-in-law, had brought along only Sabina.

Carmella's reputation had taken a nosedive, and Elizabeth had disowned her granddaughter.

Sallie Macclain, always busy and with a rebellious streak, wasn't close to the old family estate.

The insinuation was clear: Estelle was likely trying to ingratiate herself with the Lamonts.

Leonie sneered, "Grandpa Quintin is also in the VIP area, and Estelle is his prized protégée. It's only natural for her to pay him a visit. Some people really can't see the good in anything!"

Simone was left fuming by Leonie's retort.

Elizabeth ignored their squabble and asked Natalia, "The gentleman who went with Grandpa Quintin, was that Grandpa Jarvis of C City?"

Natalia nodded, "Seems like it."

Elizabeth mused, "Even Grandpa Jarvis made it here. The Langstons certainly have clout!"

Natalia speculated, "Perhaps there's a special connection. I've never heard of Grandpa Jarvis leaving C City for any of B City's big shots."

Elizabeth glanced around, "Where's Sabina?"
