It was pretty clear that he had no further interest in engaging with Winston.
Estelle made her nightly ritual of delivering late-night snacks, but the person she was
searching for seemed to
have the discipline to resist even these small indulgences. Could it be that her brother was
so self-controlled
that he wouldn’t even sneak a bite?
She had ventured down to the eleventh basement level more than once, but her efforts

“This one’s on me!”
Lambert offered a gentlemanly smile in return. “Thanks, beautiful!”

She had traveled leagues to find this place, and without hearing it straight from him, she

she tried to jostle her aside with a bump of her hips.
Estelle looked at the fallen woman in astonishment, then back at Lambert, her expression
clearly saying, “Don’t
blame me for this.”
At eleven o’clock that night, Estelle decided to go back and sleep. Uncharacteristically,
Lambert decided to walk
her back.
Estelle ignored his offer, heading for the fridge to grab a bottle of water instead. After a
hefty gulp, she retorted,
“If you’re feeling lonely, there’s no shortage of company for you.”
Estelle’s eyes were clear and steady. “Because the man I love is even more remarkable
than you.”
