Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 200

Estelle turned around and asked, "Did you change your mind?"

Old Mr. Jarvis looked unhappy, "Since you guys are younger, I'll let you stay. But don't just focus on lovey-dovey stuff and neglect my work."

Estelle immediately smiled, "Yes, I promise to help you collect the pollen."

"Wade!" Old Mr. Jarvis called out.

The old bulter who had led them in came in, "Old Mr. Jarvis, what's up?"

"Take them to rest and bring them to my greenhouse tonight," Old Mr. Jarvis instructed, then told Jonathan and Estelle, "You guys follow Wade, and don't bother me unless necessary."

Jonathan said softly, "Thank you!"

Old Mr. Jarvis reluctantly grunted, not even looking at the two, and went out the side door to fish again. When they left, the previously stern-faced old man showed a smile and even hummed a tune.

Old Wade took them to the guest rooms, with Estelle and Jonathan's rooms next to each other.

"We'll be having lunch soon. I'll have someone bring it to the dining room next door. If you need anything, just call me." Old Wade looked kind, especially when looking at Estelle, his smile was even warmer.

Jonathan nodded lightly, "Thank you."

After Old Wade left, Jonathan asked in a low voice, "Why did Old Mr. Jarvis want you to stay?"

There's only one master in the house, Old Mr. Jarvis, and not many servants. Finding someone to help him keep watch and collect pollen at night should be easy, so why did he insist on having Estelle stay and even offered to exchange earrings?

Estelle, with her back to Jonathan, was looking at the books on the shelf. She paused before turning around to answer, "Have you ever interacted with old people?"

Jonathan raised an eyebrow, "Does my father count as old?"

Estelle shook her head, "I mean, even older. My grandfather is about the same age as Old Mr. Jarvis; many of them have quirky personalities and act childish. They might suddenly have ideas without reason, beyond normal thinking."

She smiled and continued, "Or maybe Old Mr. Jarvis was testing our sincerity and just found an excuse to make things difficult for us. As you said, he has a quirky personality, so his ideas are naturally different from ordinary people."

Jonathan nodded slowly, "Maybe. Anyway, sorry to put you through this."
