Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 2017

Estelle took his hand gently and pressed it against her forehead, "It's okay, just dredging up some bad memories."

"From when you were little?" Jonathan bent down to embrace her, "It's all in the past, all of it. Whatever you've missed out on, I'll make it up to you, trust me!"

Estelle nodded, "I know."

In her heart, he was everything!

Jonathan brought over a slice of homemade birthday cake, and spoon-fed her a bite, "Try this. If you like it, I'll make it for you every year on your birthday!"

Estelle naturally opened her mouth and bit into the birthday cake, her eyes regaining their sparkle, "Delicious!"

Jonathan's handsome face relaxed with a smile, his gaze full of adoration.

When she wasn't around, even giving her everything he had felt insufficient. But now, with her by his side, even a bite of cake felt like complete and utter fulfillment.

On the way back, Jonathan took her on a detour through Citadel City.

The city lights were especially bright that night, every sign transformed into birthday wishes, and the melody of 'Happy Birthday' echoed through the streets.

Estelle sat in the car, recalling the extravagant birthday celebration Jonathan had thrown for her before, and couldn't help but laugh, "I never thought my second over-the-top birthday would be in Citadel!"

Jonathan held her hand, "My goal is for the whole world to celebrate my wife's birthday."

Estelle gave him a playful look, then leaned out the car window, basking in the cool breeze and the festive atmosphere outside.

She didn't need the well-wishes of many; his were more than enough.

They arrived back at Zion around ten at night, the car stopping outside Jonathan's luxurious villa. Estelle stepped out, surrounded by the shimmering lights.

Sylvia came out, smiling, "Did you have fun?"

Estelle returned the smile, "Yes, thank you!"

She knew she couldn't have stayed out so long with Jonathan without Sylvia's help.

"No worries, and happy birthday again!" Sylvia said warmly.

Estelle nodded, turning to Jonathan, "I should head back now."
