Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 9

Estelle instinctively wanted to hide her hand behind her, but then she thought that this action would seem too guilty, so she held back and didn't move.

In the game, she had blown up Henson, and she herself had been killed by someone else with a single shot.

Henson resisted the urge to kick Estelle to death, but instead defended her, saying, "Uncle, I'm done with my homework!"

Jonathan was a bit surprised, glanced over Estelle's face, and walked towards the desk, "Let me see!"

Henson showed his homework to Jonathan, and, as expected, it was all completed and corrected. The mistakes were fixed, and some even had summaries.

Jonathan became even more amazed and looked at Estelle.

Estelle stared back with her clear, big eyes, "I promised Henson that I'd play the game with him after finishing the homework."

Jonathan smiled faintly, put down the homework, and said to Henson, "Good job, keep playing!"

After saying this, he left the room.

Estelle let out a breath without changing her expression, and exchanged a glance with Henson, both feeling like they had survived a disaster.

Henson mocked, "Are you so afraid of my uncle?"

Estelle blurted out, "Aren't you ?"

Henson raised his eyebrows, "My uncle would scold me when he's angry, but he's not gonna scold you, what are you afraid of?"

"I," Estelle stammered, awkwardly saying, "Who said I'm afraid of him?"

Henson looked at her sarcastically.

Estelle, annoyed, picked up her phone, "Forget about your uncle, let's continue the game."

Henson opened his tablet, threatening, "If you dare blow me up again, I'll shoot you first!"

Estelle laughed guiltily, "No more, no more!"

...

When Estelle left, she didn't see Jonathan. It was still the driver who sent her back. As soon as she left the villa, her mood suddenly brightened.

With some people, you don't need to see them. Just in the same room with them will put you under tremendous pressure.

Jonathan hadn't gone out all morning. During lunch, the large dining table was laid out with a flavorful ten-course meal and a soup, but Jonathan and Henson were the only two people eating.

Jonathan took a few sips of soup, put down the spoon, and asked, "How do you feel about the new teacher?"

"Not bad!" Henson nodded.

Jonathan mocked, "Because she plays games with you?"

Henson unimpressed, "There are many people who are willing to play games with me, but I didn't say they are good!"

He looked proud, "Actually, I just pity her!"

"Why is she pitiable?" Jonathan asked casually.

Henson frowned, "She didn't have parents since childhood, only a grandfather, who is sick."

Jonathan raised his eyebrows, "Did she tell you that?"

"Yeah!"

"But you can't keep her just for this reason. I'm hiring a tutor, not helping the poor." Jonathan said indifferently.

Henson thought for a moment, "It's not entirely because of that. Anyway, I can actually follow her lessons."

"Okay!" Jonathan didn't say anything else, "As long as you can accept her, then let's settle this."

Henson nodded in agreement.

Jonathan suddenly felt that whether Estelle was really miserable or just pretending, she did have some talent.

...

Estelle took the Lamont family's car and got off at the University of J City. She then took a bus back to the villa.

After passing the eastern suburbs, the road gradually widened, and the green trees on both sides formed a canopy. The large forest park, the famous Whispering Lake of J City and the rolling mountains could be seen.

High-scale villa districts were hidden among the green trees, with beautiful scenery and fresh air. Compared to the crowded and noisy city center, this place was heaven on earth.

As she went to pick up her bike, Emily from the coffee store called out to her, "Ella, come in!"

"Sure!" Estelle replied.

She entered the store which wasn't too crowded, with a few groups of customers sitting in the corners. Emily pulled Estelle over to a wooden chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, "Hang on!"

Estelle saw a wooden table with a glass vase containing blooming yellow daisies, which perfectly matched the refreshing day.
