Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2172

Norah, [Estelle, I think Jonathan's caught on to my crush on Xavier. If he asks you, could you put in a good word for me?]

Estelle's lips curled into a smirk, [Did he give you a lecture?]

Norah sent a pouty emoji, [Yes, he did!]

Estelle typed slowly, [So, what's your take?]

[I haven't changed my mind. I still want to be around Xavier. So please, Estelle, I'm counting on you!]

Estelle couldn't help but laugh even harder.

Jonathan glanced over, "Norah?"

"Yep!" Estelle pocketed her phone, "To be honest, I've known about her crush on Xavier for ages, sorry I didn't tell you."

The reason she hadn't mentioned it was simple: there was no real relationship between them, and Norah's feelings for Xavier were her own secret.

Jonathan said, "This isn't about you."

Estelle scoffed, "Saying it's not about me now? I seem to recall someone who once pointed at me and cursed."

"Me, curse at you?" Jonathan shot her a look. "What do you think I am, out of my mind?"

Estelle couldn't help but suppress a chuckle at his serious demeanor.

Of course, Jonathan knew exactly what incident Estelle was referring to. It was a sore spot for him that he didn't wish to dwell on. His anger back then had partly been about Norah, but Estelle had been dragged into it because of his own jealousy.

It was that very jealousy, the fear of losing something precious, that had clouded his judgment and led to their breakup, and even to Estelle getting hurt.

That would forever be a thorn in his side.

"What does that make me to you?"

Estelle's eyes twinkled mischievously as she grinned, "Husband!"

In that instant, Jonathan's eyes darkened like the depths of the ocean, fixating on Estelle, "Have you been wanting to call me that for a long time? Here's your chance, say it again!"

Estelle's expression was tender, her voice barely above a whisper, "Let's get home first, then you can hear it as much as you like."

The man's adam's apple bobbed, "Right away!"

He had planned to take Estelle back to Villa del Sol, but the Royal Mansion was closer, so he drove them there instead.

The afternoon sun poured through the windows, spreading a warm blanket of light across the room.
