Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1047

Estelle pulled herself out of the man's arms and headed for the bathroom.

She knew this place like the back of her hand, even the scent of the shampoo was familiar. Standing under the shower, letting the water hit every inch of her body, her mind was a whirlpool of confusion and anxiety.

Why were they still entwined in this dance, when they had already broken up?

After her shower, she wandered into the walk-in closet and opened the wardrobe. Her clothes were still there.

Some she had worn before, others were new.

Looking at the new clothes, Estelle's heart skipped a beat, a sharp pang of unspoken pain hit her.

She picked out a simple T-shirt and jeans, slipped them on, and walked through the master bedroom. She didn't even glance at the man on the bed as she left.

"Just gonna skedaddle without saying goodbye?" came the man's languid voice from behind her.

Estelle paused but didn't turn around. Her voice was a little hoarse, "I didn't want to disturb your sleep."

The man was leaning against the headboard, his tall and muscular frame appearing lazy and incredibly charming at that moment.

He got up at her words, wearing only a pair of loose lounge pants, with faint marks visible on his chest and shoulders.

He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "I've taken care of you for two days and nights, and you're just gonna waltz out without giving me anything in return? At least you could leave me ten bucks!"

He was joking about the first time Estelle left him ten dollars and bolted.

Estelle managed a smile, but it was tinged with coldness, "Jonathan, what did you give Gwen for her part in your little play?"

Jonathan's eyes hardened, "What are you talking about?"
