Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)

Chapter 7

A flash of surprise went past Jonathan’s eyes as he looked at her for a moment longer

Just then, Norah was back, sitting beside Estelle, laughing heartily. “Ran into a high school classmate

and chatted for a bit

The waiter served the main course, and the three of them began to eat. Occasionally, Norah would

speak up. chatting with Estelle about their school days.

After dinner, they bumped into Magdalen and her group as they headed out. Magdalen was treating

some clients to dinner. They met at the entrance, and Magdalen raised an eyebrow at Estelle. The two

pretended not to know each other, and brushed past.

However, two senior executives recognized Jonathan and greeted him respectfully.

The rain outside had stopped, and the road was clear. Millard drove the car over, and the three got in..

“Estelle, where are you headed?” Norah, sitting in the passenger seat, asked, looking back.

*Just drop me off at the entrance of University of J City if it’s on your way,” Estelle replied.

“It’s on our way, no problem, My uncle is quite easygoing.” Norah said with a meaningful smile.

Estelle laughed dryly, thinking that if she hadn’t heard how sarcastic he could be, she might have

believed Norah’s words.

As the car approached the school, she chatted with Norah while Jonathan sat silently next to them,

going through some documents. His intense personal presence was hard to ignore.

Seeing the couple together in the car, Estelle felt a peculiar sensation.

The car stopped at the entrance of the University of J City, and Estelle said goodbye to Norah,

“Thanks, Norah.”

“No worries, just treat me to some drinks someday,” Norah said playfully, her eyes twinkling.

Estelle laughed and agreed. With her umbrella and bag in hand, she turned to Jonathan and said,

“Thank you, Mr. Lamont.”

Jonathan simply grunted in response.

Estelle got out of the car, waved goodbye to Norah, and headed to the bus stop.

Inside the car, Norah watched Estelle walk away, then suddenly turned to Jonathan, “Uncle, I want

Estelle to be

Henson’s tutor.”

Her parents were often away, and they had recently gone to London for an economic conference,

taking her grandparents as well. As soon as they left, Henson Lamont’s tutor resigned, leaving Norah in

charge of disciplining Henson, so she was in a hurry of finding someone to help her divide the

burden…

Jonathan frowned, “Why not hire a professional tutor instead of a student?”

Norah huffed, “The professionals can’t handle him! Besides, Estelle needs the money for her tuition. I

want to help her.”

“You can just give her money directly,” Jonathan retorted.

“She has her pride, okay?” Norah laughed, “Uncle, please agree. We can just give her a try. If she can’t

handle Henson, she’ll quit on her own.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Jonathan snorted, thinking that controlling Henson would be a feat, “Fine, let her try.”

Norah excitedly nodded, “I’ll call her right away!”

Estelle got off the bus at Maple Street, chatted with the store clerk, Emily, at the trams dessert shop for

a while, and returned to the villa just before dark.

As soon as she entered, Max rushed over to her, eager for affection

Max, a Samoyed, was Jonathan’s dog Estelle had been taking care of him since he was three months

old, and now he was three years old She couldn’t help but feel like she was raising someone else’s

child

There was also Wilma, the maid who looked after her in the villa, and the old butler, Mr Wagner The

three of them and the dog had been living together for almost three years, becoming as close as family

After playing with Max for a while, she took a shower and received a call from Norah.

Norah asked if she could go to their house and give Henson tutoring

Tutoring at the Lamont family?

Estelle imagined the scene, then shook her head, “I’m not a professional tutor, and I don’t want to hold

Henson back. You should find someone from a tutoring agency”

“We’ve tried a bunch of professionals, Henson likes none of them. Estelle, please help me out. My

family’s not home, and my uncle’s busy Can you just do me this favor?” Norah pleaded playfully.

After being pestered by Norah for some time, Estelle finally agreed to give it a try.

Til be waiting for you at our house tomorrow morning. Don’t let me down!” Norah quickly hung up the

phone, fearing that Estelle might change her mind.

Estelle looked at her phone and blinked helplessly, wondering what was going on.

Soon after, a message from Norah arrived, “Estelle, where do you live? I’ll have the driver pick you up

tomorrow morning.”

Estelle replied, “9 a.m., I’ll be waiting at the entrance of University of J City.”

“Deal!”

After hanging up, Estelle felt dazed. Max jumped up onto the couch and bit her pajamas.

Lying on Max, Estelle laughed softly. “Tomorrow I’m going to see your master. Do you have any

messages for him?”

Max looked at her blankly.

Estelle patted his big head and giggled, “Silly dog!”

That night, she talked on the phone with Magdalen, who was shocked to learn Estelle was going to

tutor Jonathan’s nephew. Magdalen excitedly said, “Sweet Ella, this is your chance! Now you can go

see him. legitimately, seduce him, pin him down, sleep with him before the agreement ends, and then

throw the divorce papers in his face. That’ll show him!”

Estelle paused for a moment, then hung up the phone.

She was afraid that if she listened any longer, Magdalen would brainwash her.

But she really needs to think about how she should deal with Jonathan if she’s gonna run into him often

at the Lamont family gatherings.

The next day, at 8:50 am, Estelle arrived at the entrance of the University of J City. After waiting for five

minutes, a Mercedes stopped in front of her. The driver got out of the car and politely asked, “Are you

Ms. Macclain?”

Estelle nodded, “Yes!”

The driver became even more polite, “Miss asked me to pick you up.”

Estelle thanked him and got into the car.

The Lamont family’s old house was located in the south of the city The outer wall was a black hollow

iron railing with vines all over it. The car drove along the flower wall for ten minutes before reaching the

entrance Through the black iron gate, a single-family villa and garden could be seen.

The servant standing at the entrance nodded at her and opened the door for her to enter

Estelle took off her shoes and stepped inside. Before she had time to observe the interior decoration of

the villa, she caught a glimpse of a black shadow rushing towards her from the corner of her eye

Estelle’s face changed drastically in an instant, and she raised her legs and ran inside. Seeing

someone coming down the stairs, before she had time to think, she jumped up and hugged the man,

and then quickly jumped up, her arms tightly hugging the man’s neck.

She was afraid of all dogs in the world, except Max!

“Milo!” The man’s voice was dull, with a warning tone.

The approaching dog suddenly stopped at Jonathan’s feet, curiously looking up and scanning Estelle.

Jonathan turned his head to look at the woman hanging on his body, his handsome face darkened,

“Get down, or I’ll accuse you of harassment!”

Estelle blinked and looked at the man’s tense side profile, then her gaze fell on the scar behind his ear.

After all these years, the scar had become very light, almost invisible, but the presence of such a mark

on a pampered man still stood out.

Jonathan frowned and tried to shake Estelle off.

Estelle tightened her grip on his shoulders first, whispering. “You make it go away first!”
