Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 7

A flash of surprise went past Jonathan's eyes as he looked at her for a moment longer.

Just then, Norah was back, sitting beside Estelle, laughing heartily, "Ran into a high school classmate and chatted for a bit."

The waiter served the main course, and the three of them began to eat. Occasionally, Norah would speak up, chatting with Estelle about their school days.

After dinner, they bumped into Magdalen and her group as they headed out. Magdalen was treating some clients to dinner. They met at the entrance, and Magdalen raised an eyebrow at Estelle. The two pretended not to know each other, and brushed past.

However, two senior executives recognized Jonathan and greeted him respectfully.

The rain outside had stopped, and the road was clear. Millard drove the car over, and the three got in.

"Estelle, where are you headed?" Norah, sitting in the passenger seat, asked, looking back.

"Just drop me off at the entrance of University of J City if it's on your way," Estelle replied.

"It's on our way, no problem. My uncle is quite easygoing." Norah said with a meaningful smile.

Estelle laughed dryly, thinking that if she hadn't heard how sarcastic he could be, she might have believed Norah's words.

As the car approached the school, she chatted with Norah while Jonathan sat silently next to them, going through some documents. His intense personal presence was hard to ignore.

Seeing the couple together in the car, Estelle felt a peculiar sensation.

The car stopped at the entrance of the University of J City, and Estelle said goodbye to Norah, "Thanks, Norah."

"No worries, just treat me to some drinks someday," Norah said playfully, her eyes twinkling.

Estelle laughed and agreed. With her umbrella and bag in hand, she turned to Jonathan and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lamont."

Jonathan simply grunted in response.

Estelle got out of the car, waved goodbye to Norah, and headed to the bus stop.

Inside the car, Norah watched Estelle walk away, then suddenly turned to Jonathan, "Uncle, I want Estelle to be Henson's tutor."

Her parents were often away, and they had recently gone to London for an economic conference, taking her grandparents as well. As soon as they left, Henson Lamont's tutor resigned, leaving Norah in charge of disciplining Henson, so she was in a hurry of finding someone to help her divide the burden..

Jonathan frowned, "Why not hire a professional tutor instead of a student?"

Norah huffed, "The professionals can't handle him! Besides, Estelle needs the money for her tuition. I want to help her."

"You can just give her money directly," Jonathan retorted.

"She has her pride, okay?" Norah laughed, "Uncle, please agree. We can just give her a try. If she can't handle Henson, she'll quit on her own."

Jonathan snorted, thinking that controlling Henson would be a feat, "Fine, let her try."

Norah excitedly nodded, "I'll call her right away!"

Estelle got off the bus at Maple Street, chatted with the store clerk, Emily, at the trams dessert shop for a while, and returned to the villa just before dark.

As soon as she entered, Max rushed over to her, eager for affection.

Max, a Samoyed, was Jonathan's dog. Estelle had been taking care of him since he was three months old, and now he was three years old. She couldn't help but feel like she was raising someone else's child.

There was also Wilma, the maid who looked after her in the villa, and the old butler, Mr. Wagner. The three of them and the dog had been living together for almost three years, becoming as close as family.

After playing with Max for a while, she took a shower and received a call from Norah.

Norah asked if she could go to their house and give Henson tutoring.

Tutoring at the Lamont family?
