Yvonne, teary-eyed, said, "I'm still filming for Mr. Tucker. If I quit now, Mr. Tucker would have to reshoot my parts, and that'd pile more work on Estelle. I'll leave J City after the film wraps up. I promise not to cause any trouble for Estelle in the meantime. Plus, if I leave now, it might give Estelle the wrong idea about you and deepen misunderstanding."
Jonathan closed his eyes, as if holding back something. "If you upset her again, don't say I didn't warn you."
"I understand," Yvonne replied, her voice trembling.
By the time they got back to J City, it was already evening. Estelle had locked herself in the study, working on drafts for several hours straight.
When she finally emerged, the sky was completely dark, and the living room was eerily quiet and lonely with no lights on.
Jonathan was sitting on the sofa, his tall figure barely visible in the dark.
Seeing Estelle, Jonathan turned on the floor lamp, gazing at her affectionately.
"I've ordered dinner. It might be a bit cold now; let me heat it up for you."
"No need. I'm going out for a bit and will grab something to eat," Estelle responded coldly, and then headed for the door.
"Ella!" Jonathan got up to follow her.
Estelle stopped and turned, her eyes icy under the dim light. "Don't follow me. And don't just barge into my room anymore, or I'm moving out tomorrow."
Jonathan looked at her, his eyes somber. "Ella, I haven't done anything. You can't treat me like this."
"Give me some time to think," Estelle said, her voice hoarse.
"How much time do you need? I'll wait right here."
"I don't want to see you!" Estelle turned and left, slamming the door behind her. The room fell back into its previous silence.
Jonathan stood there, watching Estelle's retreating figure, feeling like his chest had been hollowed out. His heart was empty and numb with pain.
