Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2278

Jason said with a grin, "Yeah, I'm going for a run tomorrow. I'll call you to join, so get up early!"

Sophia nodded, "I'll try my best!"

She paused, locking eyes with him, "I really had a blast today, thanks for spending your busy day hanging out with me."

"It wasn't just for you," Jason said softly, his gaze unwavering, "I had a great time too!"

Sophia caught the depth in his eyes, her heart skipping a beat, sensing something yet dismissing it as improbable.

"It's getting chilly, let's head inside," Jason suggested softly.

"Oh!" Sophia, snapped back to reality, waved her hand dismissively, "Goodnight!"

She walked straight to her house without looking back.

Jason watched her until she disappeared inside, then turned to his car.

As she entered, the warmth enveloped her. Sophia took off her coat and as she changed her shoes, she felt a whirlwind of thoughts. The way he looked at her—it seemed off.

She convinced herself she was overthinking. After changing, she walked towards the window, not even hearing Jasmine calling her.

Standing by the window, seeing his car gone, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was just her being paranoid!

"What are you looking at?" Jasmine approached.

Sophia walked into the living room, "Nothing much. Is Dad still not back?"

"He's swamped with year-end work!" Jasmine chuckled, pouring Sophia some freshly brewed fruit tea, "Been out all day, where did you guys go?"

Sophia, sipping the warm tea, casually said, "Amusement park, watched a movie, had hotpot."

"Wow!" Jasmine exclaimed, amused, "Sounds like a date. Didn't Jason say he had errands?"

Sophia waved her off, heading to her room.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Sophia didn't toss and turn with insomnia as usual. After scrolling through her phone for a bit, she quickly fell asleep, hugging her pillow.

The next morning, while Sophia was brushing her teeth, she heard someone calling her from downstairs.

She rushed to the balcony, toothpaste foam still in her mouth, and waved at Jason below, "Give me five minutes!"

Jason, in a crisp white tracksuit, glanced at his watch, "Alright, five minutes. If you're late, I'm coming up to get you!"

Sophia chuckled, closed the window, and hurried back to finish up.

Brushing, washing up, tying her hair, and changing clothes, Sophia managed it all in four and a half minutes, making it downstairs just before the five-minute mark, slightly out of breath.
