Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2199

Sylvia wrapped her arms around him, standing on her tiptoes to meet his kiss.

Gabriel lifted her effortlessly, striding towards the bed with a determined look in his eyes.

He gently placed her on the bed and leaned down to capture her lips, murmuring, "What did you just call me?"

Her eyes shimmering with mischief, Sylvia gazed up at him seductively, her voice a sultry whisper, "Can't I use the name everyone else does?"

Before he could respond, she tilted her head up, the picture of innocence, "If you don't like it, I won't say it again."

"I don't like it," he confessed, kissing her more passionately, "Others may have used that name, but it won't be yours. Try dropping the first part."

Considering for a moment, Sylvia softly spoke, "Sweetie?"

"Mhm," Gabriel grunted, his response low and husky as his kisses deepened.

A wave of affection swept through Sylvia, and she responded with equal fervor.

Meanwhile, Audrey was staring in disbelief at the disconnected call, her face a tumultuous mix of shock and anger.

A mere trifle, daring to vie for a man!

She had fallen for Gabriel at first sight, and her affection for him was well-known throughout their social circle. Even when she pursued him to his dorm, he remained indifferent.

Her public confession at the New Year's Eve party was met with his cold indifference; he didn't even bother with a response before walking away.

Humiliated, she had agreed to date Baron in a fit of pique.

After Baron was discharged, they both returned to J City, where she discovered he was seeing several other women. They had a huge fight and broke up.

Over the years, she'd had a few boyfriends but none lasted.

Two days ago, Shirley had called to tell her Gabriel was in J City. Just hearing his name made her heart flutter and distracted her from everything else.

She handed off her work and rushed back, never expecting to actually run into him.

"Are you calling to mock me?" Audrey demanded.

"Of course not, I'm here to help!" Baron assured her.

Audrey's voice was icy, "Why would someone as rotten to the core as you want to help me?"

Baron remained unfazed, "To be honest, I've taken a fancy to Sylvia."

Audrey's realization was swift, "That explains it."

"So, let's work together. You want Gabriel, I'll take Sylvia."

"What's your plan?" Audrey inquired, her interest piqued.

"Just a little scheme," Baron chuckled darkly, "I wronged you once; this time, I'll deliver Gabriel to you as recompense."
