Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Soon Morrison arrived and called Magdalen to ask which room she was in.

Estelle got up and said, “You guys talk, I’m gonna head out first.”

Magdalen frowned, “I took you out, naturally I should take you back, you and Morrison know each other, why are you leaving?”

“Don’t wanna stay and be a third wheel, do I?” Estelle winked and chuckled, “And besides, you’ve been drinking, how are you supposed to drive me? It’s all good, I’ll catch a cab.”

Magdalen reluctantly agreed, “Well, call me when you get home.”

“Sure thing!”

Magdalen walked Estelle to the door, only to run into Morrison who was hurrying over in the hallway. The guy was dressed in a business suit with a hint of alcohol on him, seemingly just coming from a social engagement. He had a refined, handsome face and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, greeting Estelle politely.

He walked over to Magdalen and naturally held her hand.

Estelle said goodbye to the two and went out the door on her own. A waiter at the door asked her if there was anything she needed.

Just as Estelle was about to speak, she saw a group of people surrounding Jonathan as they walked out. She politely declined the waiter’s help and stood by Jonathan’s car, waiting for the group to leave before turning around and gently calling out, “Mr. Lamont!”

Jonathan turned around, his dark eyes seemingly deep as night, lightly watching her, “Done with dinner?” “Yep!” Estelle nodded and said, “Thanks for everything today, Mr. Lamont.”

Jonathan put his hands in his pockets, tall and handsome as ever, “No need to thank me, we’re just helping each other out.”

“Ah?” Estelle was a bit confused, how did she help him?

“Never mind.” Jonathan replied leisurely,” Manley told me you agreed to be his girlfriend, is that true?”

Estelle showed a surprised and speechless expression, “He told you that?”

“Yes.”

Jonathan said nothing more, turned around and got into his car.

Watching Jonathan’s car merge into the traffic, Estelle slowly walked to the side of the road.

Sitting in a taxi, Estelle suddenly realized that her relationship with Jonathan seemed to have improved a lot, probably because Jonathan didn’t like Manley either, so in dealing with Manley, both of them aimed at the same thing and naturally they were on the same battlefront.

Estelle looked out the car window at the colorful neon lights, thinking about Heather and Hattie If Heather and Morrison were fake, then what about Hattie?

Was she really Jonathan’s lover?

Magdalen, as Morrison’s girlfriend, could openly hold Morrison accountable, while she, as Jonathan’s wife, had to politely thank Jonathan!

Oh, shoot!

She really was a failed wife!
