Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 169

Jonathan sat down on the sofa across from Estelle and asked, "Where are dad and my older brother?"

Janice replied, "They have some business to take care of, they're upstairs in the study talking. They'll probably be down shortly!"

"Alright." Jonathan nodded indifferently.

Mrs. Lamont put down the cup, looked at Estelle, and smiled kindly, "I heard you’re still a student, you're so pretty and talented, are you from J City?"

Estelle replied, "I grew up in C City."

"Oh!" Mrs. Lamont smiled warmly, "That's considered studying away from home then. If there's anything you need in the future, feel free to come to our place or ask Jonathan for help. Don't be shy."

Janice chimed in, "I just wish he won't scare her, with Jonathan's constant cool expression, most people wouldn't dare to talk to him."

Jonathan glanced at Estelle and smiled faintly, "I didn't scare her. You can ask her how have I treated her?"

Estelle couldn't help but feel a little nervous, worried that Jonathan's words would cause misunderstandings. She hurriedly said, "Yes, Mr. Lamont has been very kind to me."

Fortunately, no one thought too much about it. Mrs. Ling joked, "If he knew how to treat girls well, he wouldn't still be single at this point."

Jonathan scoffed, "How am I the target again?"

Janice suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that your marriage with the Macclain family was called off?"

Jonathan replied indifferently, "Yes!"

Janice looked at Mrs. Lamont and laughed, "We really ought to find Jonathan a girlfriend soon."

Jonathan took a sip of water, "There's no rush."

Janice opened the drawer of the coffee table, took out a velvet box, and placed it in front of Estelle with a smile. "We've been abroad for the past few months, Henson's excellent grades are all thanks to you. We didn't know what you'd like, so we bought a small piece of jewelry. Hope you like it."

Estelle smiled warmly, "You're too kind. I am the tutor, and it's my duty to help Henson with his studies. Plus, Mr. Lamont has already paid my salary, so I can't accept your gift."

Janice smiled lightly, "This is just a small token of our appreciation, it's not worth much. Why don't you take a look and see if you like it?"

"Let me do it!" Norah took the box, opened it, and saw a mermaid tail necklace inside. It was delicate but not flashy, suitable for someone Estelle's age.

"Mom, your taste is finally spot-on for once." Norah praised and handed the necklace to Estelle, "It's for you. Just take it. You can't get this in our country."

Estelle still refused, "It's too valuable!"

Jonathan looked over and spoke up softly, "It's Janice's good intentions. You can accept it."
