Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3258

She paused for a moment. "Sunday night."

The warm autumn sunlight bathed his striking features in a soft, golden glow. He gave a single nod. "I'll make you something good tomorrow night."

Her smile was bright and genuine. "Sounds great!"

She waved at him. "See you later!"

"Yeah," he murmured in response.

Norah turned and made her way back down the path. A gentle breeze drifted past, carrying the sweet scent of grapes through the sunlit afternoon. Although she couldn't quite put her finger on it, she felt a subtle shift in the air between them.

It was just two friends growing closer, she reasoned.

Nothing complicated or romantic.

When she returned to the living room, Yvonne was on the phone with her agent. Not seeing her grandfather around, Norah decided to wait in the adjoining sitting room.

"Norah!" Yvonne suddenly called out to her.

She stopped and turned back. "Do you need something, Yvonne?"

Over the years, she had shifted from calling her affectionate nicknames to using cold, formal terms, a clear sign of how strained and distant their relationship had become.

Yvonne had completely dropped her earlier hysterical behavior, reverting to her polished, elegant persona. "That was a long phone call," she said with fake concern.

"I bumped into Gonzalez and we chatted for a bit," Norah replied evenly.

The younger girl's tone was so painfully honest and natural that Yvonne couldn't find a single flaw to pick at. She simply nodded and smiled. "Ah, so he came back."

She put on a convincing mask of remorse. "We completely misunderstood the situation with his cat. Now that he's home, I'll have to apologize to him personally later."

It was their family drama, so Norah kept her mouth shut.
