Catherine clung to Estelle’s hand with a look of concern etched on her face. “My dear, have you lost weight? Don’t mind the nonsense spewed online, let Jonathan handle it!” Estelle touched her cheek, trying to reassure her. “No, it’s just been a while since you've seen me. That's all!” “I'll have you stay hfor a few days so we can fatten you up properly!” Magdalen, with a glint in her eye, chimed in playfully, “Mrs. Lamont, Ella just got back. We haven't had enough tto catch up with her. How about you lend her to us for a few days before she’s all yours again?” Catherine laughed heartily, “Alright, but she’s staying at htonight. When she’s out with you all, make sure to take good care of her!” “Don’t worry, I'd gladly trade the couple of pounds I've put on these past days for Ella’s benefit!” Magdalen’s quick wit sent Catherine into a fit of laughter. Nearby, Emily accepted a cup of tea from the servant and passed it to Aimee. “Did Estelle really go to C City?” And why did Old Mr. Jarvis cto J City to pick her up? Aimee took a sip and spoke cryptically, “Let’s just say she went to C City.
Sthings are better left unsaid.” Emily nodded in understanding, “I know Estelle’s got her secrets. As long as you're all safe, that’s what matters.” “With Mr. Lamont by her side, there's nothing to worry about,” Aimee assured her. “Good.” Estelle stood up, addressing Charlie, “You've just returned as well. Take Emily hto check on Kya. I'm fine here.” Charlie nodded, then turned to Jonathan with a serious tone. “The Crawley family is finished, but if you're hesitant to deal with the Macclain family, I'll step in.” After all, they were Estelle’s biological parents, and he didn’t want Jonathan caught in a tough spot. Jonathan's expression was steely.
“There's no hesitation. Cmorning, I'll have them begging Ella for mercy.” “You're ruthless,” Charlie chuckled, then added, “Emily and | will head out. If anything comes up, give us a call.” “Be careful on the road,” Jonathan said with a nod. While Charlie and Emily went to check on Kya, the rest of the group lingered at the Lamont estate, awaiting news from B City. Compared to the situation in B City, the Macclain family was insignificant, easily crushed at any Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
moment. The servants prepared a late-night snack, and both Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin enjoyed a bow! of soup. Jonathan had the kitchen make a low-sugar cake for Estelle, and everyone gathered around, munching and eagerly asking about her recent escapades. Norah, however, was distracted, her gaze often drifting towards Xavier. Unable to resist, she fetched a bowl of soup from the kitchen and approached Xavier. Pausing for just a moment, she offered it casually, “Have ssoup.” Xavier looked up, nodding with a muted thanks. “No need.” With formalities exhausted, Norah left quietly, lips pursed. Xavier didn’t touch the soup, standing up instead to go outside for a cigarette. Gabriel followed and stood beside him, casting a glance at Norah's retreating figure before commenting lightly, “Does that young lady fancy you?” Xavier raised an eyebrow, “Is it that obvious?” “A little,” Gabriel replied. “She seems sweet. If you like her, don’t be so icy. It’s about tyou settled down.” Xavier exhaled a stream of smoke, smirking slightly, “To be with her, I'd have to call Estelle ‘aunt.'” “Huh?” Gabriel looked surprised. “Her name’s Norah Lamont, Jonathan's brother's daughter,” Xavier stated calmly.
Gabriel let out a snort, “What a small world!” The cigarette in Xavier's hand flickered as he added, “Which is exactly why there’s no chance for us.” “That's a real shame,” Gabriel remarked.
