"No worries, we just got here too!" Carson said with a casual smile.
Marina vacated her seat, then sat down next to Carson. Jonathan smoothly took a seat next to Estelle. As they sat in pairs, the atmosphere became a bit tricky.
Marina picked up the menu to order, "Estelle, what do you want?"
Carson chimed in with a smile, "Estelle has a sweet tooth, you can get her some extra desserts."
Marina responded immediately, "Having a sweet tooth is probably something all us girls have in common. The ice cream here is pretty good, how about we get two servings each?"
Just the mention of food had Marina's eyes lighting up.
Before Estelle could nod, Jonathan suddenly said, "One serving is enough, Estelle can't have ice cream these days."
They weren't kids, so everyone instantly understood what Jonathan meant.
Marina was taken aback for a moment. She looked at Estelle and Jonathan, trying to figure out their relationship.
Estelle seemed indifferent. It looked like she wasn't as close to Jonathan as she was to Carson, but Jonathan's words had a hint of something more.
Marina suddenly remembered that day at the 9th Mansion, when Estelle was running towards the balcony with a bomb, Jonathan had risked his life to tackle her to the ground. That kind of instinctive protection wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment thing!
Could it be, Jonathan had feelings for Estelle?
Estelle just looked at Marina, smiled lightly and said, "Please, get me two servings."
Jonathan looked at Estelle, "One!"
"Two!"
Jonathan coldly said, "Are you always going to be against me?"
Estelle calmly said, "I don't know what you mean, Mr. Lamont. I make my own decisions, and it's got nothing to do with being against anyone!"
Carson laughed and said, "Don't worry, if anyone's mad, it's Estelle. Jonah won't do anything to her!"
Marina curiously asked, "Are they a couple?"
"They used to be, but they've broken up now."
"From what I can see, Mr. Lamont still cares about Estelle. Why did they break up?"
Carson shook his head slightly, "Their situation is quite complicated, I'm not entirely sure what happened between them."
Marina asked, "Where are we going?"
"Of course we're going to eat. Let's find another table next door." Carson said, taking Marina's hand and heading next door.
Marina pulled her hand away, "Stop holding my hand!"

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....
There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....

As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
