Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3042

As the Rolls-Royce drives away, Sarah's coworker gasps in shock. "What a flashy car! And a chauffeur delivering the invitation? My god, Sarah, is your friend marrying a billionaire?"

Sarah is just as confused. She opens the envelope and confirms it is indeed an invitation from Emily.

As reality sets in, she quickly calls Jeanie, her voice buzzing with excitement. "Jeanie! I'm not bringing your gift for you anymore. We're going together. You have to come!"

...

With ten days left until the engagement, Emily has nothing to do but try on dresses and test her makeup. Charlie James told her to just focus on work.

With Padgett and the managers Charlie sent over, the company is running smoother than a business that's been around for years.

Taking advantage of her free time, Emily touches up her driving skills.

For the first few days she drives to work, Charlie insists on sitting in the passenger seat, keeping a close eye on her, which only makes her more nervous.

At Emily's strong request, Charlie stops riding shotgun. But as she drives to work alone, she notices that no matter how fast or slow she goes, the cars in front and behind her match her pace perfectly.

She finds it funny but heartwarming.

On Tuesday afternoon, Emily goes to a construction site with a client. On her way back, she passes the nursing home.

Realizing she hasn't visited Shawn Sullivan in days, she pulls into the parking lot.

She didn't call ahead, planning to just say a quick hello and leave. But the moment she walks in, she freezes.

Gina is sitting on the couch peeling fruit, while Bonnie Ferber is showing Shawn her ultrasound report. Her tone is unusually polite and warm. "Dad, look. These are the baby's eyes and nose. Look at the little hands and feet. Isn't he adorable? When he's born, you absolutely have to be the first to hold him."

Her attitude and tone are a complete 180 from when she used to curse Shawn out for being a gambling addict.

He shoots Emily a look, signaling her to leave.

Gina pours a glass of juice and sets it on the coffee table, smiling. "I haven't seen Emily in so long. I've missed her. It's rare for all of us to be together. Let's chat. What's the rush?"

Shawn tries to urge Emily away again, but Emily knows that since her mother and Bonnie found this place, she can't just leave without dealing with them.

She calls for the caretaker and asks him to take Shawn out to the garden.

Shawn refuses to go. "Whatever you have to say, don't hide it from me. I want to stay!"

"Emily, don't listen to your mother. You can't be softhearted!"

Gina glares at him. "Shawn Sullivan, what are you talking about?"
