Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 170

Estelle had no choice but to accept, thanking Janice, "Thanks you so much!"

"Don't be so polite, really! It's us who should be thanking you!" Janice replied warmly, genuinely liking Estelle.

As everyone was chatting, Geoffrey Lamont and Jonathan's older brother Alcott Lamont came downstairs, with everyone standing up.

Janice introduced Estelle to Geoffrey and Alcott. Estelle greeted both of them.

Geoffrey's appearance was just as Jonathan had described - serious, rarely smiling, with deep and wise eyes that made it hard to read his thoughts.

Alcott looked somewhat like Jonathan, wearing black-rimmed glasses, probably from his academic research. He appeared calm and composed, and like Janice, he was polite and approachable.

Estelle felt that in terms of personality, Alcott was more like their mother, while Jonathan took after their father.

Alcott courteously told Estelle, "My wife and I originally planned to send a car to pick you up, but Jonathan said he was passing by University of J City, so he offered to bring you back. I wanted you to feel welcomed, so please forgive us for the arrangement."

Estelle had seen Alcott on TV before and knew that he held a high status in the academic world. She felt kind of guilty for him talking so respectfully to her, "Not at all! You're too kind!"

Jonathan continued, "Estelle's right. She'll be visiting frequently in the future, let's all relax and get comfortable."

With everyone seated and exchanging pleasantries, Estelle noticed that the Lamont family had a great relationship. The elders were gentle and loving, and the younger generation was considerate and polite, without any backstabbing or intrigue.

While the adults were chatting, Norah made eye contact with Estelle, got up, and said, "We can't really participate in the grown-ups' conversation. Let me show you around my room, Estelle!"

Henson chimed in, "I'm coming too!"
