Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1971

“Honey, wake up!”

“Ah!”

Estelle let out a soft cry, her eyes snapping open in panic as she stared bewildered at the man before her.

Jonathan immediately wrapped his arms around her, murmuring reassurances, “Bad dream? I’m here, I'm here!”

Estelle’s breathing steadied against his chest as she quickly calmed down, glancing outside at the still dark night and asked with a hoarse voice of surprise, “Jonathan? What are you doing here?”

And what was he wearing?

Jonathan looked up, his fingers gently caressing her face, concern evident in his eyes, “What kind of nightmare had you in such a fright?”

Estelle gazed back at him, slowly shaking her head, “It’s okay, I’m awake now.”

She examined his attire, uncertain, “Did you come to give me a present?”

Jonathan smiled, “Yes, Merry Christmas!”

After a shower, she returned to bed and found Jonathan’s gift.

Truly an extraordinary gift.

Estelle texted back, [Very unique, thank you!]

Jonathan replied promptly, [Once it’s on, you’re not allowed to take it off.]

Estelle chuckled, [Too bad, I didn’t prepare a gift for you.]

[To me, your heartbeat and warmth are the best gifts I could receive.]

Estelle raised an eyebrow, [Jonathan, you’ve got quite the sweet talk!]

[Do you like it?]

[I love it!]

She typed slowly, [Though I didn’t prepare a gift, I already have something in mind that I want to give you.]

Jonathan shot back instantly, [What?]
