Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2549

Magdalen climbed into the car and immediately called Estelle. The phone rang until it was nearly about to go to voicemail before Estelle finally picked up. “What is it?”

Magdalen sounded frustrated. “I got so caught up in things that I completely lost track of time. I didn’t interrupt you and Jonathan, did I?”

Estelle’s voice was a little hoarse. “Just tell me what’s going on.”

Magdalen couldn’t help laughing, but after the chuckle, worry crept across her face. “I just ran into Sylvia outside 9th Mansion. She was with Mr. Winters, and they looked pretty close.”

Estelle and Magdalen knew each other too well; she immediately understood what Magdalen was getting at. Her tone grew more serious. “Magdalen, Sylvia has every right to choose who she wants to be with.”

Magdalen hesitated before replying, “I know, I just— It’s hard for me to accept. The two of them seemed perfect together, and I really believe Gab has feelings for Sylvia too.”

Estelle’s voice was calm. “My brother’s sense of responsibility toward Silver Valley has always outweighed his feelings. Sylvia knows this. If he never comes back, is she supposed to just wait for him forever?”

Magdalen sighed, regretful. “You’re right. I get it.”

Estelle asked, “You didn’t give Sylvia, or Mr. Winters, a hard time, did you?”

“Of course not Sylvia, but I was a bit prejudiced. I guess I blamed Eugene for coming between her and Gab, so I was a little cold to him,” Magdalen admitted honestly.

Estelle’s voice was quiet. “Don’t do that next time. Don’t put Sylvia in a tough spot.”

Magdalen exhaled. “Alright, I won’t.”

“You heading home?” Estelle asked.

“On the way.” Magdalen slumped against Morrison’s shoulder. “Go see Jonathan. I’m hanging up now.”

“Okay.”

Magdalen put down her phone, but something weighed heavily on her, darkening her expression.

Morrison looked up and gently cupped her chin. “Estelle’s right. If you care about Sylvia, then be there for her, look after her. But don’t try to manage her love life.”

Magdalen took his hand, toying with the wedding band on his finger. “I can’t help feeling upset.”

Sylvia let the faintest smile touch her lips, then turned back inside to sleep.

……

A day later, Sylvia and Eugene attended the opening ceremony of HaSen’s new branch.

The event began at 10:10 a.m. Greg Farley, HaSen’s chairman, gave a speech introducing the company’s business plans. There was a ribbon-cutting, words of thanks to the guests, and the whole process was wrapped up by noon.

The entire event had been organized by Sylvia’s company, and everything went smoothly.

For lunch, HaSen hosted a lavish banquet at the Sailing Hotel, reserving both the first and second-floor ballrooms. The atmosphere was lively and grand.

During the lunch, Sylvia and HaSen’s project manager finalized a year-long partnership. The manager told her their chairman was very impressed with HEGNAN’s event planning and hospitality, and hoped for more collaborations in the future.

Once their discussion ended, Eugene came over with a smile. “Mr. Farley was just singing your praises—said you’re a real powerhouse.”
