After finishing the statement Estelle could go home first while waiting for Yulia to completely wake up and explain what had happened Millard had been waiting outside. Once Estelle got in the car, she apologized, saying “Im really sorry for dragging you into all this.” Jonathan coldly chuckled “When he was covering up your identity for you, wasn’t he your accomplice? What’s there to apologize for?”
Esteller was taken aback, and recalling what had happened before, she felt even more guilty towards Millard. “You didn’t punish Millard afterwards, did you?”
“No” Millard immediately responded, “Mr. Lamont let me off the hook and didn’t punish me severely
From his words, Estelle could tell what was going on, and she felt even more uneasy. I’m really sorry!
“Mr. Lamont, you’re too polite. No need to apologizer
Upon hearing his address, Estelles expression changed. Before she could say anything, Jonathan sarcastically said,
“Aren’t you supposed to apologize to me instead?”
For what? For not having Millard file for divorce back then? Estelle retorted.
Jonathan was stunned. When put this way, he should be thanking Millard instead!
Seeing Jonathan’s dumbfounded expression, Millard, who usually had a poker face, couldn’t help but smirk. Fearing Jonathan might notice, he quickly wiped the smile off his face and focused on driving
Jonathan turned to Estelle and said, “Let’s go to the Royal Mansion
Estelle shook her head and said, “No, to Sunset Ridge.”
Knowing that she was hurt, Jonathan could only yield to her
He also understood that he couldn’t rush things with Estelle, there was plenty of time after all.

Estelle’s eyes were bright and gentle. “Til treat you to dinner some other day.”
“There’s no need to wait for another day, you can invite me up now Jonathan said it with a smile.
“Not today, it’s already too late!” Estelle declined,
Jonathan sighed and conceded, “Alright, I won’t push. Watch out for your wound; don’t let it get wet, and avoid spicy food for the next few days”
“Okay!” This time. Estelle obediently nodded.
Jonathan leaned down and gently kissed her forehead, saying. “Go on up and have an early night”
Estelle lowered her head, hiding the softness in her eyes, faintly nodded, turned, and opened the car door to leave
Watching Jonathan stare blankly at Estelle’s retreating figure Millard couldn’t help but say, “I think Ms. McClain prefers a gentler approach, Mr. Lamont. You might want to try something else”
Jonathan chuckled and said softly. “No rush, she’ll be mine soon enough.
Millard thought to himself, Who’s the one banging his head against the wall in impatience
The next morning, as soon as Estelle woke up.

Jonathan’s voice sounded a bit lazy and low in the morning “If you feel like working go ahead handle the police station stuff. If your wound still bothers you. then rest at home. I don’t think Yulia will be able to film today either so you wouldn’t have much to do there”
Estelle nodded and replied, “Alright, arrange things on my own.”
