Chapter 1436
Everyone was having a blast, and the atmosphere was super chilled and happy.
Every now and then, Estelle and Jonathan exchanged glances, the playful twinkle in his eyes making Estelle smile uncontrollably.
Who would’ve thought that the Lamonts would accept her so easily, putting up with all her past secrets and not even questioning her original motives for coming to the Lamont family?
None of them made her feel uncomfortable or awkward.
Geoffrey, Catherine, Alcott, and Janice were so thoughtful and sweet that they warmed Estelle’s heart.
After a bit of chit-chat, Jonathan glanced at the clock and said, “Ella’s been on the road all afternoon; I’ll take her upstairs to rest, we’ll be back to hang out with you guys later.
Catherine smiled kindly and said, “Go on, I was so excited to see Estelle that I forgot you guys just got back. It was a long journey, you guys must be beat. Take her upstairs to rest. I’ll call you down when dinner’s ready
“Sure thing”
Jonathan replied, standing up and taking Estelle’s hand.
Estelle felt a bit out of place in front of the Lamonts, but after a moment of struggle, she couldn’t pull away. She turned her head to casually wave goodbye to everyone and followed Jonathan upstairs.
Once they were upstairs, Estelle let out a sigh of relief.
“Still nervous?” Jonathan asked with a smile. 1 told you, my family loves you. They’d probably marry us off right now if they could.”
Looking up at Jonathan, Estelle sincerely praised, “Geoffrey and Catherine are really nice!”
“They’re your family too!” Jonathan replied with a gentle smile.
Estelle looked down, not responding.
Once they were in their room, Jonathan immediately pushed Estelle against the door, showering her with passionate kisses. “Ella, I missed you!”
Estelle frowned. “We’ve been together these past few days:
“But I could only look.” Jonathan murmured against her skin.
Estelle felt a tingle in her ear, “Can’t your mind drift to something else?”
“Nope!” Jonathan chuckled, continuing to kiss her as they moved towards the bed.
Estelle, now on the bed, immediately sat up and scolded, “Jonathan, cut it out! I have to go out later.
Jonathan grabbed her hand, pulling her back into his arms.
“Just let me hold you for a while.”
Estelle rolled her eyes and noticed that the bed was indeed new, She couldn’t help but smile, staying quiet in his arms without any struggle. Seeing her so docile, Jonathan grew fonder of her, pulling her chin up for another kiss.
Estelle closed her eyes, tilting her head to reciprocate.
Jonathan’s breath grew ragged as he turned her over onto the fluffy comforter.
Just as Estelle was getting lost in the kiss, there was a knock at the door. She immediately opened her eyes.
Jonathan slowly pulled away, a glint of calmness in his eyes. He took a moment to calm his breathing before asking. “Who’s it?”
“It’s me!” came Norah Lamont’s voice.
“Norah’s back!”
Estelle tried to get out of bed, but Jonathan held her wrist.
He got up and wiped the traces of their kiss from her lips, then helped her straighten her clothes, smiling. “We didn’t do anything wrong, no need to panic.”
Estelle’s eyes twinkled like stars. “Norah sees me as a peer, but now I’m her elder.”
Jonathan chuckled, “It’s okay, you were her elder before you were her peer. You have nothing to worry about”
