Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2797

Aries kept his head down, his eyes darting around nervously.

Evelyn quickly corrected herself. “It was my mistake for mischaracterizing the situation. Mrs. Winters has already disciplined Aries, and he knows he was wrong. Please don’t be angry anymore. Today is Estelle and the Lamont family’s special day. It wouldn’t look good for anyone if the Winters family were really kicked out.”

She used Estelle’s first name deliberately to let Mrs. James know she wasn't just a Quintin, but also a friend of Estelle’s.

Mrs. James looked at Evelyn with an authoritative gaze. She knew Evelyn was a Quintin, and the Quintin family was, in a way, Estelle’s family too.

It was a favor she probably had to grant.

If not for the Quintins, then for Estelle.

The sun was beginning to set. In the upstairs room, Sylvia’s phone suddenly rang.

Gabriel frowned slightly, turning to hang it up for her, but saw that her eyes were already open.

She stared at the scenery outside, momentarily dazed, before the ringing jolted her fully awake. She picked up the phone. “Grace.”

Grace laughed on the other end. “Where have you been? I haven’t seen you all afternoon. I’m about to go see Mr. Jarvis. He knows you’re at the wedding too. Want to come with me?”

After the luncheon, Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin had been relaxing and chatting in a sitting room.

Old Mr. Quintin kept checking his phone, but no calls came in.

Understanding his friend’s anticipation, Old Mr. Jarvis took the initiative and called Grace, asking her to come over.

“This boy, Jonathan from the Winters family, abducted my granddaughter earlier. It was clearly malicious, not the innocent ‘playing’ his family claims it was. However, since Ms. Quintin has spoken up, I will grant you this favor and not pursue the matter further. You’re right, today is Estelle and the Lamont family’s wedding, and no one wants to cause trouble for them. Take him back to his family and tell them to keep him far away from my granddaughter. If anything like this happens again, being thrown out of a wedding will be the least of their worries.”

Evelyn immediately smiled. “Thank you, I—”

She broke off, turning her head abruptly as she saw Gabriel and Sylvia coming down the stairs together. Her smile froze.

Gabriel turned to Mrs. James and asked, “What happened?”

Mrs. James stood up. “Mr. Carnes.”

The moment Gabriel appeared, Aries instinctively flinched, lowering his head even further, not daring to let his eyes wander.

There was an intimidating aura about some people that always made those with ill intentions cower.
