Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2575

Sylvia lifted her glass, but instead of taking a sip, she looked toward Mrs. Farley. “Mrs. Farley, I think I saw your daughter earlier when I arrived. Since Jolin is here as well, why not invite her to join us? It would be good for everyone to meet, let bygones be bygones, and make things easier in the future.”

Mrs. Farley blinked in surprise. “Jolin’s here too?”

Sylvia smiled warmly and nodded. “I’m pretty sure she’s somewhere in the hotel.”

Mrs. Farley glanced at Greg, forcing an awkward laugh as she pulled out her phone. “Ms. Jarvis is right. I’ll give Jolin a call right now.”

She dialed her daughter’s number. “Jolin, are you at the hotel?”

Jolin didn’t catch on immediately and answered without thinking, “How did you know?”

“So you are here!” Mrs. Farley’s eyes flickered as she noticed Sylvia’s gaze on her. She quickly added, “Are you having dinner with friends? Your father and I are here too—why don’t you come over for a bit?”

She gave Jolin the private dining room number.

Mrs. Farley didn’t expect her daughter to actually show up, but to her surprise, Jolin agreed right away. “Sure, I’ll be there in a minute!”

“We’ll wait for you!”

After hanging up, Mrs. Farley looked at Greg, worry clouding her eyes. She feared Jolin would say something reckless and ruin the fragile truce they’d just managed to reach.

Greg could only hope his daughter would be a little more sensible this time.

Three minutes later, Jolin entered the room.

Jolin lowered her gaze, watching Sylvia from the corner of her eye, secretly pleased. She set her empty glass on the table. “Ms. Jarvis is so gracious—let’s leave the past in the past. No need to mention it again.”

Sylvia refilled her glass. “You’re very generous, Ms. Farley. I’m impressed.”

Jolin basked in the praise, obviously pleased with herself.

Across the table, Greg and Mrs. Farley watched nervously, afraid their daughter might say something out of line. But seeing the two women chatting amicably, they finally began to relax.

Mrs. Farley helped Sylvia to some food. “Jolin may be about the same age as Ms. Jarvis, but she’s spent all her time in school—she’s nowhere near as worldly or thoughtful. She could really learn a lot from you.”

Jolin wanted to argue, but she knew Sylvia would soon be the one embarrassed, so she bit her tongue and waited for the show to begin.
