Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1954

Even though the staircase and living room floor were carpeted, when Lambert took a tumble and rolled all the way down, he still ended up sore all over. Rising with a grimace, he locked eyes with Alvis; his face turned an immediate shade of liver!

Brushing off his clothes, he tried to laugh it off. "Whoops, I just took a bit of a spill there. No worries, it doesn't hurt a bit!"

Sylvia struggled to maintain her composure, turning her head to admire the lawn out the patio doors.

Jonathan, on the other hand, was the picture of serenity,  "For a second there, I thought this was part of the Brennan family’s unique hospitality!"

This time, Sylvia couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, but then quickly covering her mouth.

After her shower, as Estelle reached for her clothes, she spotted the medicine Lambert had given her on the shelf, the transparent liquid housed within a light brown glass bottle.

Once again, Lambert’s persistent words echoed in her mind.

But he was right; her health was indeed not at its best, and the medicinal side effects were already latent within her.

The longer she waited, the worse it became for her.

She picked up the bottle, uncapped the seal, and downed it.

It was tasteless, and she had no idea where Lambert had sourced it or if it would even work.

When she descended the stairs, dressed, she saw Jonathan and Sylvia sitting in the living room.

"Rella!" Sylvia greeted her with a smile, pretending it was the first time she had seen Estelle's true face. "You're just as stunning as I imagined!"

Estelle nodded slightly, "Mr. Alvis, Ms. Beverly!"

Lambert said warmly, "Mr. Alvis has invited me to discuss a partnership with Raiden. You should come along!"

"No hurry!"

"Take it easy!"

The responses from Sylvia and Jonathan were almost simultaneous. Sylvia glanced at Jonathan, quickly adding, "Let Rella have breakfast first. We can head out afterward."

Sylvia spoke softly, "I have a sensitive stomach, so Mr. Alvis tends to pay more attention to these things."

"That makes Mr. Alvis a thoughtful and indulgent partner!" Lambert looked at Alvis. "Perhaps that’s a topic where we could exchange notes in the future."

Jonathan's gaze was frosty as he replied, "No. I pamper only one woman, unlike Mr. Brennan, who caters to the masses."

Lambert choked on his words, "Well, being your girlfriend must truly be blissful. "

Jonathan's eyes flicked to Estelle, "I hope she feels the same!"

She?

Lambert raised an eyebrow slightly. Could it be that Ms. Beverly wasn't Alvis's girlfriend, just a companion he brought along temporarily?

There was something odd Lambert couldn't quite place.
