Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2791

Sylvia nodded, said goodbye to Evelyn, and turned to leave.

Mrs. Winters let out a sigh of relief and quickly said to Eugene, “Why don’t you two chat? You young people have more to talk about.”

Eugene politely declined. “I don’t know Ms. Quintin well, so we don’t have much to discuss. Since she’s your friend, Mom, you should be the one to entertain her.”

With that, Eugene gave Evelyn a slight nod and walked away.

Evelyn subtly clenched her fists. It was one thing for her to look down on Eugene, but for him to look down on her was another matter entirely.

Mrs. Winters was fuming, silently cursing Eugene for being so clueless. If Aries Winters were old enough for marriage, did he think she would have introduced Evelyn to him?

For now, she could only try to smooth things over. “Our Eugene is just a bit shy. He gets flustered around girls and doesn’t know what to say. He’s usually so busy with work that he hardly has time to socialize.”

Evelyn feigned a nonchalant smile. “He seemed to be chatting just fine with Sylvia.”

Mrs. Winters’s tone became fawning. “Ms. Jarvis works in public relations; she’s a social butterfly who gets along with everyone. She can’t compare to you. You’re a true lady, poised and elegant.”

Flattered by Mrs. Winters’s words, a slight smile appeared on Evelyn’s face. “But it seems everyone prefers Sylvia’s type.”

Mrs. Winters, ever the worldly-wise socialite, saw right through Evelyn’s comparison and immediately said, “They’re just playing with her. How many men who get close to her are actually sincere?”

Evelyn smiled and changed the subject. “Is Gladys not here?”

“She’s here,” Mrs. Winters replied quickly. “She’s probably off with her friends. I’ll call her over in a bit.”
