Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 136

The waiter took Estelle to the 8th floor. Upon opening the door, he respectfully announced, "Ms. Macclain is here!"

Positioned behind the waiter, Estelle struggled to discern the individuals within the dimly lit private room, as it was occupied by a mix of men and women.

Suddenly, someone approached the waiter and whispered something confidentially into his ear.

The waiter turned to Estelle with a smile and said, "The birthday person inside wants you to personally hand them the cake and wish them a happy birthday."

Estelle raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is the birthday person a young lady?"

Without any hesitation, the waiter answered, "Yes!"

Estelle thought that this girl probably fancied Manley and knew that she was sent by him, so she made such a request.

Since she had already come so far, she saw no reason to decline such a small request. After all, you gotta help people all the way!

She nodded, "Alright."

The waiter communicated with the person by the door, and then gestured to Estelle to enter, "Please, Ms. Macclain!"

Estelle took the cake out of the box and held it in her hands as she walked into the room.

The lights were off inside the room, and it was pitch dark, with the outlines of people's faces barely visible.

The person sitting in the middle of the sofa was wearing a glowing "Happy Birthday" hair clip. Estelle recognized them easily and walked closer, close enough to see each other's silhouettes.

Estelle stopped and looked at the person across from her.

The room fell into an eerie silence, as if only the two of them existed in that moment.

Charlie flipped through his phone and suddenly smirked, showing Jonathan the screen, "You said that girl isn't Manley's person, look at what Manley posted!"

Ten minutes ago, Manley posted a message on social media, saying, "Thank you, my dear. I'm happy with anything you give me!"

Below were two photos. One was a picture of the cake with the words, "I love you" prominently displayed.

Another photo showed a screenshot of a chat conversation. The other person asked if he was satisfied with the cake, and Manley replied with a "Yes!" and "Thank you, babe!"

Charlie laughed, "Look at the cake box. Isn't it the same one that girl was holding earlier? Seems like he really likes her!"

Jonathan's gaze remained fixed on the picture of the cake, reading the chat messages repeatedly, until his eyes settled on the words "I love you." His stare turned frigid and devoid of warmth.

A surge of emotions flooded his chest, causing his face to adopt a gloomy and somber demeanor, as if it could drip with sorrowful tears. Within moments, he abruptly stood up and briskly walked away, taking long strides that conveyed his determination.
