Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1017

As the two were in a standoff, Estelle's phone suddenly rang, catching her off guard. She glanced at the caller ID, her heart pounding in anxiety.

Jonathan noticed too, "Answer your phone."

He stayed put, almost brushing against Estelle's face. When she picked up her phone, he didn't back off.

Estelle took a deep breath to calm her nerves, subtly turned her head to answer the call, "Manley?"

"Estelle, I can't have dinner with you tonight. Something's up with our overseas operations, I gotta fly out immediately."

Estelle was taken aback, "So you're leaving now?"

Her voice was a bit hoarse, which Manley picked up on immediately, "Estelle, where are you?"

Jonathan suddenly bit Estelle's earlobe.

Estelle almost let out a groan, but she held it back, pushing him away with one hand while pretending to be cool, "I'm fine. I'm downstairs."

Thinking she was with Kya, Manley sounded reluctant, "I might have to stay there for a few days, take care of yourself."

Estelle was extremely sensitive from Jonathan's kiss, unable to struggle or make a sound.

After talking to Magdalen last night, Estelle decided to talk to Manley today. Either they stopped seeing each other, or they gave it a shot and she would try to like him.

However, things always had a way of catching you off guard. How could she possibly be with Manley when she and Jonathan were in such a mess?

Just as she was deciding, Manley had to leave. But she felt a sense of relief. She tried to ignore the fear Jonathan brought her and lowered her head, saying, "Okay, I got it."
