Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2623

This time, it was Sylvia’s turn to be left speechless.

Just then, Jenny entered the room. The students immediately fell silent and greeted her in unison. When she was about to start the lesson, her eyes landed on Gabriel and Sylvia in the back row, and she froze, her eyes wide.

She hurried over, whispering, “Hero? Goddess? Are you two sitting in on my class? Why didn't you tell me? I’m totally unprepared!”

Sylvia smirked. “What would you need to prepare?”

“Well, for starters, I would have worn a nicer outfit,” Jenny said seriously. “And put on some makeup.”

Gabriel offered a faint smile. “Ms. Jarvis is here as a student. Don’t be nervous.”

“A student?” Jenny repeated, surprised, before a look of understanding dawned on her. “Oh, I get it! A trip down memory lane!”

Sylvia didn’t explain, just smiled mysteriously.

Jenny turned to Gabriel. “Sylvia’s here for nostalgia. What about you, hero? Same reason?”

“He’s my chaperone,” Sylvia cut in.

Jenny burst out laughing.

“Stop laughing,” Sylvia chided gently. “The students are watching. Go start your class.”

Jenny glanced over her shoulder and saw a few mischievous students peering back. She stuck her tongue out playfully and hurried to the front of the room.

Her personality was naturally lively, and she taught with infectious energy. What should have been a dry math lesson was frequently punctuated by bursts of laughter from the students.

Sylvia listened intently, but her mind drifted back to the note. She tore a piece of paper from her notebook, scribbled a few words, and slid it onto the adjacent desk.

Gabriel raised an eyebrow, picked it up, and read the elegant but firm script: “Pay attention in class, Mr. Carnes!”

A moment later, he pushed the note back. Sylvia unfolded it and saw a new line written underneath.

“Are you paying attention? Why are you looking at me?”

She wrote again. “If you went and sat in the courtyard, I wouldn’t be able to see you.”

The man’s expression was distant, his voice serious. “Pay attention to the lesson. No more distractions.”

Sylvia shrugged lightly and turned back to the front, trying to focus.

But her focus lasted less than five minutes. As Jenny explained basic algebraic equations, Sylvia tore off the other half of the page and scribbled down a calculus problem involving limits, pushing it over to Gabriel.

He picked it up, glanced at it, and then began solving it with his pen. In less than a minute, he had the answer written down.

Sylvia looked it over, then wrote something else and pushed it back.

Gabriel unfolded it to see a large “A+” written in red ink beneath his solution.

He couldn't help but chuckle. She was treating him like one of her students.

He turned to look at her, but she was watching Jenny with a look of intense concentration, as if she were the most dedicated student in the room.

He tucked that note into his sketchbook as well.
