Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1903

Huff and Estelle shook hands. Huff’s smile was warm and friendly. "Welcome, Ms Rella. I hope you have a delightful time here!"

Estelle nodded gently, "Thank you!"

Huff had arranged accommodations for them, with a servant leading the way to their lodgings.

They were staying in a quaint cottage, with a living room and a study on the ground floor, three bedrooms upstairs—it seemed specifically set up for visitors.

As they entered, lights flickered on automatically in every room. A butler wheeled in a dining cart, arranging an array of delectable dishes on the table. For the grand finale, he placed a bottle of Lafite by the dishes.

The butler bowed respectfully, "I wish you both a pleasant meal."

"Though I might spoil your appetite, it seems we're dining together tonight!" Lambert said with a soft smile, slipping off his coat as he headed for the dining room.

The table was set immaculately, with white bone china and silverware, all complemented by the soft glow of candlelight—it was both romantic and elegant.

Lambert ate with grace, every movement oozing the air of nobility, a stark contrast to his usual flirtatious demeanor.

Estelle began to cut her steak with a knife.

As Lambert leisurely sliced his steak, he began, "Let me give you a brief rundown of Zion."

Estelle paused mid-chew, looking up attentively.

In a low voice, Lambert explained, "Citadel is Triceratops territory. Triceratops is the head of an organization, which you might not be familiar with. Just remember the name. Zion is one of Triceratops' primary strongholds. They've gathered a plethora of researchers here, selling their findings worldwide for profit."

"Do you anticipate danger here?" Estelle inquired.

"Nothing immediate, but anything can happen around here. It's best to be alert and prepared," Lambert replied.

Estelle nodded, "Since you've paid me, I'll make sure you're well-protected."

"That's very reassuring to hear," Lambert said, his gaze intense, "For some reason, from the moment I saw you, I felt I could trust you. Do you think it is fate arranged by the Almighty?"

Estelle let out a derisive laugh, "If God heard that, He'd be blue with disbelief!"

"What?" Lambert frowned, perplexed. "I don’t know why."
