Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3345

Norah sniffled. "But I'm so insanely in love with you."

Gonzalez's gaze darkened with intensity, and he pulled her even tighter against him.

She let out a small sob and looked up. "Are you still leaving?"

"I'm not going anywhere." He held her as if trying to fuse her very soul into his bones.

Norah bit her lip. Tears were still tracking down her face, but she couldn't stop the corners of her mouth from turning up.

From a distance, Estelle watched them embrace. A look of quiet relief washed over her face. After lingering for a moment, she turned and walked away.

Once Gonzalez canceled his ticket, he led Norah out of the terminal, her hand wrapped securely in his. His phone buzzed shortly after—it was Estelle.

"She's all yours now. Comfort her properly. I'm heading out," Estelle said.

Gonzalez's eyes softened with profound gratitude. "Thank you, Estelle."

"Need any help dealing with the Hanson family?" she offered.

His signature arrogant coldness returned. "No. I'll handle it myself."

"Alright. But if you need anything, call me. That includes convincing the Lamonts."

Gonzalez let out a low, knowing chuckle. "If I can't handle them, I'll definitely call you."

When he hung up, Norah looked at him. "Did Estelle leave?"

"Yeah. Let's go home." He squeezed her hand.

Norah didn't care about work anymore; she called in and took the rest of the day off.

When they returned to The Eden Apartments, the second the door clicked shut, Gonzalez scooped her up into his arms and crushed his mouth to hers.

Norah instinctively closed her eyes. She wrapped her legs around his lean waist, clinging to him as she kissed him back with equal desperation.

Her eager response completely shattered his restraint.

It was a scorching, explosive kiss, a chaotic blend of absolute dominance and agonizing tenderness. He pushed and tested her boundaries, entirely consumed until she gave him exactly what he needed.

Norah shook her head, her gaze completely unwavering. "I believe you."

Something raw and vulnerable flickered in his eyes, and he pulled her into another deep, desperate hug.

They held each other in the quiet room, soaking in the absolute perfection of finally understanding each other's hearts.

After a moment, Norah gently pushed him back. Her sweet, delicate features suddenly took on a fierce edge. "What are you going to do about those rumors? Was it that mother-daughter duo again?"

Gonzalez carried her over to the living room and set her down on the couch. He grabbed her a bottle of water, then fetched a warm towel, awkwardly but gently wiping the tear tracks from her face.

Feeling a bit more refreshed, Norah hugged Circe to her chest and demanded, "Tell me right now. What exactly happened?"

Gonzalez sat next to her and recounted the events of that night.

As she listened, Norah's expression morphed from pure shock to absolute disgust. Her face paled with fury. "How... how could they be so completely psychotic?"

Gonzalez let out a dark, mocking laugh. "Did you really think they had any morals left to lose?"
