Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 78

"Hmm!" Jonathan laughed, "You say it's well-intentioned, so it is."

Estelle felt a bit embarrassed and didn't talk.

After a moment of silence, Estelle turned around and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Both of them haven't had dinner yet.

Jonathan asked, "What's there to eat?"

Estelle thought about it for a while, "I'll make something real quick."

Jonathan slightly raised his thin lips, "Alright!"

"Wait for it!"

Estelle said and then turned to head into the kitchen.

Jonathan lit another cigarette, leaned against the wooden railing, slowly inhaling, and thought the girl being coughing from the smoke was kinda funny. He then looked back and saw the kitchen light shining, and the girl's busy figure was faintly visible.

He stood in the darkness, looking at the kitchen filled with light and the aroma of cooking, feeling a strange sensation coming over him.

Twenty minutes later, the two were sitting across from each other at a dining table, each with a bowl of pasta in front of them.

It was just a simple pasta with white sauce.

"Let's eat!" Estelle picked up her fork, took a bite of the pasta, and showed a satisfied expression.

Jonathan smelled something burnt just now, so he hesitated for a moment, but seeing her enjoying the food made him dig in too.

After one bite, the man paused, his expression becoming a bit complicated. He took a tissue to spit out something from his mouth, which turned out to be a very hard piece of cheese.

He wanted to say something, but Estelle seemed to be starving, and was really focused on eating, so he didn't say anything and continued eating the food in his bowl.

Estelle quickly finished her pasta and sat there waiting for Jonathan.

As Jonathan was putting down his fork, he heard Estelle ask, "How does it taste?"

"Not bad," he said, while slowly wiping his mouth with a napkin and then giving a faint smile, "It takes talent to make pasta this bad."
