Chapter 186
The next morning, Estelle woke up to the bright sunlight shining on her face.
Jonathan sat by the bed, back against the sun, and gently asked, “Wanna get up?”
Estelle leaned on him, not wanting to move at all.
Jonathan stroked her head and tidied her hair with his long fingers. “So, what have you been up to these days?”
Estelle squinted and reported where she had been playing, including the castle in the forest which was exactly like what she had imagined.
Before she turned four, her warmest memory was of the girl next door holding an old fairy tale book and telling her the stories from it Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine… They all ended up living happily ever after in castles with princes.
The moment she stepped into the castle, it felt like she’d gone back to her childhood and the warmest memories deep within her heart.
Jonathan asked, “Have you been ice–skating before?”
“Ice–skating?” Estelle lifted her head, her eyes brightening.
An hour later, Estelle and Jonathan stood on the ice–skating rink. They’d changed clothes, and Jonathan was putting on protective gear for her.
“Do the skates fit alright?” Jonathan squatted down and put on her knee pads, asking gently.
“Yep.” Estelle looked down. “You’re not busy today? You don’t need to meet with Schilder?”
“I’ve been busy for a few days; it’s time for a break. There’s a dinner tonight; we’ll go together Jonathan stood up and held her hand. “Just follow me and relax.”
This man always seemed to give her a strong sense of security.
Estelle skated forward for a distance, then looked back to see Jonathan standing there, taking a phone call.
It was his first time hearing her laugh like this the laughter was pure and genuine.
Estelle hugged the man, lowering her head in his chest. Eventually, her laughter subsided. With her lips pursed, she could breathe in his scent.
Jonathan held her waist and flipped her around so that she was in his arms. He took her along as he glided forward on the ice.
“Spread your arms,” he whispered into her ear.
Estelle entrusted herself to him, spreading her arms wide. The skate blades quickly sliced through the ice. For a moment, it felt like they were flying
She couldn’t help but smile, her heart filled with boundless joy and happiness.
After ice–skating, Jonathan took her to have lunch on a steamship. The chef had been specially invited from C City, and both the pastries and dishes were authentic. Estelle noticed Winnie and Baldrick on another steamship.
