Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)

Chapter 34

The three of them stayed at the horse ranch for the whole afternoon and left in the evening. Jonathan

first dropped Estelle off at the University of J City.

Originally, Estelle lost the fishing bet and had to treat everyone to dinner, but since Jonathan had

something to deal with in the evening, they agreed to reschedule.

On the way, Estelle and Henson talked about their experiences at the horse ranch.

Jonathan drove in silence, unaffected by the chatter emanating from the backseat. Rather, he found it

oddly comforting, the sound providing a sense of solace.

When the car stopped at the gates of the University of J City, Estelle said goodbye to the guys and got

out.

As she walked towards the entrance, a boy dressed in sportswear yelled her name and ran towards

her, excitedly.

Henson’s eyes widened in surprise. “Isn’t that the guy we met at the horse ranch? Are they already

planning to meet again so soon?”

He couldn’t help but feel disappointed, thinking that Estelle was falling in love and would turn into an

idiot like his sister.

Jonathan didn’t turn the steering wheel right away, watching as Estelle and the boy walked together,

talking about something. Then, the boy took out a cake, and Estelle accepted it…

Jonathan watched the two figures standing together, smiling. This was the kind of romance Estelle

should be experiencing at her age. He turned his gaze away, turned the steering wheel, and sped off

quickly.

The guy talking to Estelle was named Chris, and they had met at the horse ranch. It was only after a

brief conversation that they discovered they were both students at the University of J City.

Chris was a third-year foreign language major, studying French. They were working on a project when

Estelle offered him some insight, which solved a problem he’d been struggling with for days.

To express his appreciation, Chris had bought a cake and went to the university hoping to bump into

Estelle. He hadn’t expected to see her so soon.

Estelle accepted the cake as a token of his gratitude, but refused his invitation to dinner. She took the

cake

and headed back to Villa del Sol.

That night, Blue Hawk and Goshawk went online. The mission was complete, and they received the full

12 million. As usual, the three of them split the money.

Estelle urged Goshawk to rest for a while, as they wouldn’t be taking on any new missions anytime

soon.

Over the next week, Estelle prepared for an exam and spent her days in the library after class.

Occasionally, she ran into Chris, the handsome and friendly big guy, who enthusiastically greeted her.

She also saw Norah and Nicolas eating together. Nicolas tenderly helped Norah with her meal and

cleaned. soup from the corner of her mouth. They appeared to be completely in the honeymoon stage

of their relationship.

Estelle hoped that she was overthinking and that Nicolas genuinely didn’t know about the GK Jewelry

studio brand.

Saturday arrived quickly, and Estelle went to the Lamont family house as usual but didn’t meet

Jonathan.

At noon, when Estelle was about to leave, Jonathan came back from outside.

Estelle greeted him first and asked with a smile, “Mr. Lamont, are you available tonight?”

Jonathan, who was about to go upstairs, stopped and replied coldly, “What’s up?”

The man’s indifference caused Estelle to pause briefly, but she persisted with a gentle smile I lost the

to dinner.”

“No need,” the man answered curtly without any explanation, then turned and walked upstairs.

At first, she thought he was simply busy, but realizing his lingering coldness when they met again on

Sunday, she understood that their relationship would always be like this.

She had thought that they had become acquainted, at least enough to greet each other when they met,

but now she knew she’d expected too much.

As usual, she got off at the University of J City entrance and took the bus to Maple Street. Seeing the

dessert shop again, she thought of Emily.

It had been half a month since she last visited the dessert shop.

Estelle took out her phone, found Emily’s number, and called her.

After a while, Emily’s voice finally came through, “Ella?”

Estelle responded with a warm smile, “Why haven’t you visited the dessert shop in such a long time?”

“Ella!” Emily’s voice choked up a bit, “I’ve run into some trouble.”
