Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 6

Without lifting his head, Jonathan was speed-reading the documents in his hand, looking all high-and-mighty and cold, totally unapproachable.

Norah laughed and said, "Estelle, are you here to be a tutor?"

She knew Estelle lived in the poorer eastern suburbs, and here was the rich area, so she naturally assumed Estelle was here to make some extra cash as a private tutor.

Estelle smiled faintly, "Good thing I ran into you."

How did she forget that Norah was Jonathan's niece?

They hadn't seen each other in almost three years, and now they'd run into each other three times in one week. Estelle thought to herself, did Cupid just remember her?

Norah turned to introduce Estelle, "This is my young uncle!"

Estelle pretended she didn't know already, and nodded, "Mr. Lamont!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Jonathan's gaze shifted and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Estelle clutched the umbrella handle, her heart in turmoil, thinking about how he might know she was a student at University of J City at most, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

Norah, who was naturally warm and friendly, initiated a conversation with Estelle, "Is Brooke chasing after Saul?"

Remembering what happened yesterday, Estelle's eyes turned cold and she casually replied, "Seems so!"

Norah laughed mockingly, "The whole school knows Saul has liked you for three years, you two are so close! How could Saul ever take a liking to Brooke?"

Instinctively, Estelle glanced at Jonathan and smiled, "Saul and I are just classmates. It's none of my business who he gets together with."

Norah gave her a look that seemed to say 'yeah, right, like I buy it', and Estelle felt wronged. Whether her marriage was by agreement or not, she was still married now!

When they got back to the city, there was a traffic jam due to an accident. Norah covered her stomach and said, "When will this road open up? I'm hungry. Why don't we go grab something to eat?"

Estelle quickly said, "I'll just get off here and go back to school myself."

"Forget going back to school, it's already noon. Let's go have lunch together!" Norah made the decision without hesitation.

Jonathan, who hadn't said anything the whole ride, looked at his watch and told Millard, "Pull over."

There happened to be a French restaurant on the right, and the three of them went in and sat down. Fearing that Estelle might not be familiar with dining at such fancy restaurants, Norah took the initiative to order for her after asking her preferences.

After ordering, Norah went to the restroom, leaving Jonathan and Estelle sitting at the table.

Jonathan was leaning back against the sofa, lazily checking his phone with half-closed eyes, his handsome face was breath taking .

Estelle's gaze fell on the man's handsome face, in a trance, remembering that night, when he was so passionate and gentle, yet fierce at times, completely different from his current elegant demeanor.

Looking back on that night, she wondered why had she given in so easily and even paid him a hundred dollars. Was she out of her mind?

But now, sitting here, looking at the handsome man across from her, she finally felt at peace; the money wasn't spent in vain.

Jonathan sensed the gaze on him and slightly furrowed his eyebrows, looking up at her.

Estelle shifted her gaze nonchalantly to the window, her ears turning red. Daydreaming, for shame!

With a hint of curiosity, Jonathan's cool eyes met hers and his lips parted, "What's your name?"

Estelle tensed up, and softly said,

"Estelle."
