Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2728

She stopped a few feet away from him. Perhaps it was the wine, but her eyes shimmered like autumn water, and her lips were a vibrant red against her pale skin. Her voice was laced with a faint, aggrieved tone. “Why didn’t you text me back again?”

Xavier should have left in the afternoon, but he hadn’t.

After what happened to Yvonne, he had been a little worried. Now, seeing the wine-stain on her lips, he couldn’t help but frown. “If you can’t handle your liquor, don’t drink. No one here would dare force you.”

Norah’s eyes curved into a smile. “I wanted to.”

“Did you not see what happened to Yvonne?” the man reprimanded coldly.

“I did!” Norah’s eyes suddenly lit up. “It was so satisfying!”

After overhearing Yvonne and Hannah earlier, Norah had been worried Yvonne would stir up more trouble. She had even considered warning Jonathan. She never expected Yvonne to get involved with a director instead. Now, Yvonne probably wouldn’t have the face to show up for the next few days.

Xavier’s brow remained furrowed. “Is that what you think my point was?”

Norah blinked. “Then what were you trying to say?”

Xavier glanced at his watch. “You don’t need to entertain the guests. Go back to your room and rest.”

“I won’t be able to sleep if I go back. I’ll just keep thinking about a certain someone,” Norah said, her eyes half-lowered, her voice husky, as if hovering on the edge of drunkenness.

Xavier’s dark eyes deepened, and his tone softened. “Go on back. You have to get up early for C City tomorrow.”

“No,” Norah said, looking up. The lights above reflected in her eyes, making them sparkle like stars. “Not unless you walk me to my room.”

“No,” Xavier refused flatly.

“Then don’t worry about me. You can go. I’m in my own home, nothing will happen to me!” Norah said, a little defiantly. She turned to get another drink.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm. She turned back, biting her lip, her expression a mix of innocence and provocation.

Xavier looked somewhat helpless. “I’ll walk you to your door.”
