Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1872

The Quintin household was buzzing with excitement today. Geoffrey and his wife, Catherine, along with their daughter Magdalen, had come over. Sophia also brought along her boyfriend, Robin Ziegler; and to top it off, the fashionably late Jonathan and Estelle had just walked in. The entire living room was packed to the brim with family members and laughter.

As soon as Estelle and Jonathan arrived, they became the targets of Magdalen's playful teasing. Old Mr. Jarvis, who was fond of both his children equally, watched the banter with a chuckle, while Old Man Quintin jumped to Estelle's defense, "I'm just glad Estelle could make it. It's an honor for me!"

He turned to Geoffrey, "Don't be too hard on the youngsters!"

Geoffrey sipped his tea with a smile, "Only an enlightened and wise patriarch like Old Man Quintin could raise such a fine young woman like Estelle!"

Old Man Quintin laughed heartily, "Now, now, you can't say that. Someone might get jealous!"

Old Mr. Jarvis scoffed from the side, "you got a bargain and acted coy, trying to pin the label of being narrow-minded on me!"

The room erupted into laughter.

A servant came by, announcing that lunch was ready.

Everyone made their way to the dining room, exchanging courteous gestures to each other.

Trailing behind, Robin asked Sophia, "I heard about Ms. Sampson and Mr. Jerome's wedding yesterday. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have loved to join you."

Sophia, linking arms with him, said, "Didn't I tell you I was attending a friend's wedding? I even mentioned I was a bridesmaid; I asked you to come, but you were too busy with a client, so I didn't want to disturb you."

Robin frowned slightly, "If I had known it was the Sampson and Langston families' wedding, I would have definitely been there!"

Truth be told, the Sampson and Langston wedding had been all over the news a few days ago, but Robin had been too swamped with work to remember that Sophia knew Ms. Sampson.

Sophia felt a twinge of discomfort. Robin's regret at missing the wedding had nothing to do with not being there for her or not seeing her as a bridesmaid; it was all about the prestige of the Sampson and Langston families.

Jonathan had flown back from abroad just for Estelle, yet her own boyfriend, who lived in the same city, had chosen a client over her.
