Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 174

Estelle and Norah bumped into each other outside the greenhouse. Norah came running, her forehead covered in sweat and panting, "Where did you go? I've searched the whole garden for you!"

Estelle pointed casually, "I saw a patch of peonies over there, so I stayed to look for a while."

"I thought you went to the study. It was my uncle who told me you were here." Norah grinned, looking all innocent and sweet.

Feeling a bit guilty, Estelle apologized, "Sorry for making you worry!"

"No worries! Since we're here, let me show you the greenhouse where my grandma keeps a lot of rare and unique flowers that my uncle collected from different places. They're so cool, I bet you've never seen them before."

"Sounds awesome!"

The two entered the greenhouse and had some fun exploring before a servant came to call them back for lunch.

Arriving back at the villa, they found the servants already setting the table. Janice enthusiastically welcomed Estelle, "I heard from Henson that you like spicy food. So, I asked the kitchen to prepare some extra spicy dishes for you. Let me know if they're to your taste."

Estelle responded, "Thank you! I'm sure they will be great, besides, I can eat everything."

As they walked toward the dining room, Estelle caught a glimpse of Jonathan descending the stairs from the corner of her eye. She couldn't help but look at him, their eyes meeting briefly before she quickly averted her gaze.

Mrs. Lamont invited Estelle to sit down, with everyone taking their seats around the table. By some amazing coincidence, Estelle ended up seated opposite Jonathan.

Soup was served to Estelle, and Mrs. Lamont smiled warmly, "Please, don't be shy. Make yourself at home."

Estelle nodded and laughed, "Thank you!"

Henson chimed in, "Besides, it's not your first time here, so what's to be shy about?" As he spoke, he offered her a piece of crab. "Eat up!"

Touched by his kindness, Estelle replied, "thanks."

The Lamonts didn't have that air of superiority, apart from Geoffrey's naturally icy demeanor. Everyone else was very easygoing and polite, always taking care of Estelle's feelings.
