Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2243

Charlie lounged in the VIP section, his gaze fixated on Emily since she made her entrance. Glancing at Jonathan, he couldn't help but smirk, "I totally get why you wanted to clock Manley Scott last time!"

Jonathan's gaze was inscrutable, his tone ambiguous. "We're not the same, Charlie. If you want to go up there and start swinging now, I won't stop you."

Charlie scoffed, "After all this time Josiah looked up to you, you're really going to throw him under the bus like that? Doesn't it prick your conscience?"

Jonathan replied coolly, "Considering I didn't march up there and drag her away, I'd say I've been quite generous."

Nodding, Charlie said, "He's my cousin, so I'll cut him some slack too. But this is definitely the last time."

Jonathan gave him a sidelong glance. "What if at my wedding, Ella wants Emily to be her maid of honor?"

Charlie chuckled, "What makes you think your wedding will happen before mine?"

A flicker of sarcasm crossed Jonathan's face. "The odds are less than zero."

Charlie's handsome face darkened, then he quickly recovered with a forced smile. "Early or late doesn't matter. Emily and I already have kids!"

Jonathan spoke deliberately, "The kids are here, but she hasn't agreed to marry you. Not sure what there is to be proud of."

Charlie was at a loss for words.

He no longer wanted to sit next to this sharp-tongued man!

They had given her so much more than she ever acknowledged.

With a choked voice, she embraced the man who had been her rock, whispering, "Dad, I'm sorry."

Mr. Jordan gently patted her back, his voice full of warmth and affection, "No need for apologies, my dear. Today is the most important day of your life. Be happy."

Turning to Josiah, he said, "I'm entrusting you with my most precious treasure. Take good care of her."

Josiah nodded solemnly, "You have my word. I'll be good to her and her alone, letting only her boss me around."

Amiee, feeling the weight of the moment lighten, almost laughed at his words, whispering, "Who's bossing you around?"
