Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2735

"When I got married, I didn't feel much of anything. But now that you're the one getting married, I have this indescribable feeling in my heart."

Estelle looked down at her. "It's just a ceremony."

Magdalen shook her head. "A wedding is more than just a ceremony."

Estelle sipped her wine without a word.

Magdalen's smile was radiant. "Ella, how many years have we known each other?"

Estelle replied, "Many, many years. We don't need to remember the exact number."

Magdalen clinked her glass against Estelle's. "You're right!"

She downed her wine and laughed. "I still remember when you first came to J City. We were having dinner one day, and you suddenly told me you were married. I was so shocked I nearly spat out my food!"

"And when you said you had married Jonathan, I wanted to storm over to the Macclain estate and beat someone up. You stopped me and said you did it willingly, but I didn't believe you at all back then!"

"Ella, that's what I admire most about you!" Magdalen looked up at her with admiration. "You are truly patient!"

Estelle swirled the wine in her glass, a faint smile on her lips. "When you can't win with a single strike, you have to lie in wait for the perfect moment!"

Magdalen frowned. "Did you ever think about what would have happened if Jonathan had fallen for someone else during those three years?"

Estelle lowered her eyes. "He knew he was married. He wouldn't."

Magdalen asked, "You were that confident?"

"No," Estelle said with a low laugh. "I was gambling, too."

They looked at each other and burst into laughter simultaneously.

Emily asked, "What are you two laughing about? Laugh louder so we can all hear!"

Emily, with her refined features, shook her head slowly. "Charlie and I have an agreement. We'll talk about marriage after I've established my own studio."

Magdalen chimed in, "A mysterious tycoon is about to make a spontaneous investment, claiming he recognizes your talent and wants to set up a private studio just for you."

The others exchanged knowing looks, but Sophia asked in confusion, "What mysterious tycoon?"

Harriet laughingly explained, "If you wanted to start your own studio, who do you think would be the first to support you?"

Sophia's eyes widened in earnest. "But I don't want to open my own studio!"

Harriet facepalmed. "I'm speaking hypothetically!"

Sophia thought for a moment. "Mr. Gilder?"

Then it dawned on her. "Oh, you're talking about Mr. James!"
