Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3545

Summer: [It has to be serious. She's literally bringing him to dinner.]

Trixie: [Marina definitely owes the two of us. A single dare practically sealed her fate.]

Marina watched their messages roll in, smiling but keeping quiet.

Out of nowhere, Colby sent a message: [Doesn't Marina have a fiancé? We probably shouldn't be joking about this stuff!]

After a beat of awkward silence, Trixie fired back: [Do you ever think before you type? If you don't know what to say, just shut up!]

Colby quickly unsent his last message. [I'm heading into a meeting. Talk later.]

Marina: [Then it's settled. See you all tonight!]

Setting her phone aside, Marina went back to work.

After work, Carson came to pick Marina up. During the drive, she told him about the chaotic group chat, finding the whole thing highly amusing.

Carson glanced at her with a smirk as he drove. "I'm giving you the perfect opportunity to make our relationship official tonight."

Marina shook her head. "I'm terrified they'll beat me up."

Carson chuckled smoothly. "I'll protect you."

After a brief pause, he asked, "You guys have a group chat? Who's in it?"

"Just the three of us, plus Trixie's boyfriend, Colby," Marina explained.

Carson immediately frowned. "Why aren't I in it?"

Marina tilted her head, grinning. "Because you're not my official boyfriend."

Carson narrowed his eyes, a cold, dangerous smirk pulling at the corners of his lips. "Invite me right now. Otherwise—"

Unfazed, Marina challenged him. "Otherwise what?"

Carson kept his eyes on the road, slowly easing off the gas as he delivered his threat with absolute calm. "Otherwise, I'm fully prepared to run that red light."
