Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1668

On her way home, Estelle popped into a candy shop and got two bear-shaped chocolates. She savored one herself and saved the other for Kya.

Along her way, she received a call from Jonathan, “What are you up to?”

Estelle crunched the chocolate in her mouth, the bittersweet milky flavor spreading delightfully. She looked down at the pebbles on the road, her eyes glinting with a soft smile, “Just made a pit stop at a candy shop.”

“Found anything appetizing?” The man asked gently.

“Chocolates, and some galaxy lollipops!”

“Did you get me anything?” His voice carried an amused laugh.

“Sure did. I'm waiting for you back home.”

“Why don’t you bring them over now?” Jonathan’s voice turned softer, “I miss you. Come keep me company at work.”

Estelle glanced at her wristwatch, and responded warmly, “Alright, I’ll come by in a bit!”

“I’ll send Millard to pick you up!”

“No need, I'll drive over.”

“Be careful on the road then. Don’t rush!”

“Sure!”

Estelle hung up, her steps lightened as she walked toward her apartment complex, seemingly all her worries flew away at the sound of Jonathan's voice.

She first went to Emily's house. Figuring Kya might be taking her afternoon nap, she didn't knock. Instead, she hung the candy shop’s paper bag on the doorknob.

Once Kya woke up, Ms. Simmons would take her to the playground in the complex, it'd be the first thing she'd see when she stepped out.

After leaving the chocolate for Kya, Estelle went back to her apartment, tied her loose hair back, grabbed her car keys, and headed out.

Upon reaching the Lamont Group, the receptionist recognized Estelle, greeting her with a warm smile.

Estelle waved back and headed toward the private elevator for the CEO.

As she stepped out of the elevator, Kally was alone in the office. She stood up with a warm smile. “Estelle, you’re here!”

“Is Mr. Lamont in?” Estelle asked.

Jonathan felt a soft tug at his heart, he caressed the top of her head, his voice tender, “What did you do today?”

Estelle replied lazily, “I spent two hours on some design drafts this morning, but I couldn’t find any inspiration.”

“No inspiration, huh?” Jonathan murmured, “Funny, I didn’t feel like working this morning either. I was distracted because I was missing you. What about you?”

Estelle lifted her head from his chest, her tone serious, “Jonathan, did you turn on some kind of charm cheat?”

He effortlessly threw out sweet nothings.

“I just had some honey, so naturally, I'm sweet!” His handsome face broke into a smile, he leaned in to kiss her, “Here, have a taste!”

Estelle lightly bit him, “You're smooth-talking, one star!”

Jonathan chuckled, deeply kissing her, “Take a closer look. There might be more to it than you think.”

After a while, Estelle said, “You should get back to work. I need to work on my design drafts.”

“Is it urgent?” Jonathan asked.
