Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3406

"I was really just giving her a ride home that day," Carson explained.

Marina waved it off, entirely unbothered. "You're both consenting adults. It's totally normal. Like I said, you don't need to explain anything to me."

Carson's eyes narrowed slightly, a playful smirk tugging at his lips. "Speaking from personal experience, Marina?"

"Are you trying to turn this around on me?" she shot back instantly.

He offered a smooth, devastatingly handsome smile. "Don't be so defensive. I'm just making conversation."

Marina offered a polite, tight smile. "I'm afraid we don't have much to converse about, Mr. Foster. We're clearly on completely different paths."

"Oh? And what path are you on?" Carson asked, amused.

She thought for a second. "One that doesn't involve being a complete degenerate, for starters."

He leaned back, his smile turning lazy and predatory. "So I'm a degenerate now?"

Marina took a delicate sip of her cocktail, meeting his gaze. "You're an irredeemable playboy."

Carson threw his head back and laughed out loud.

Before he could reply, Marina's eyes lit up. She stood up and waved excitedly at a girl navigating the crowded bar. "Erin!"

Erin Yeats practically sprinted over, pulling Marina into a bone-crushing hug. "You little vixen! I missed you so much!"

Vixen? An interesting nickname. Carson raised an eyebrow, rising from his seat to approach them.

"Erin, this is my... fiancé, Carson Foster," Marina introduced.

With his striking features and effortless elegance, Carson offered a charming smile. "Ms. Yeats."

"Mr. Foster, nice to meet you!" Erin, usually a wildly energetic girl, noticeably reigned herself in under the weight of his undeniable charisma as she shook his hand.
