“Zachary and that girl have been seeing each other for almost a month now. She works at a cultural company near the Movie Center, and after eating at this place twice, she found out she’s from the same hometown as Zachary, so she started coming around more often. After some time, she and Zachary started dating.”
Norah said with a laugh, “Mr. Flemmings has promised to cover the cost of Zachary’s wedding and reception.”
“Xavier has always been good to his friends!” Estelle exclaimed.
“Yes, he highly values his friendships. That’s why Zachary and the others are so loyal to him.” Norah’s eyes sparkled.
Estelle was happy for Zachary: “I’ll drop by the BBQ place this weekend to catch up with everyone.”
“Great, everyone’s been missing you!”
As they chatted, Catherine knocked and walked in, handing a wooden box to Estelle
“Try it on, see if it fits”
“What is it?” Estelle asked, opening the intricately carved box to reveal a diamond bracelet.
The diamonds sparkled brilliantly under the light.
Mr. Jarvis was an antique collector, and Estelle, having seen some antiques, knew the bracelet was expensive. It looked like something Catherine had treasured for a long time. So Estelle quickly tried to return the bracelet to Catherine.
“This is too valuable, I can’t accept it. You’re too kind!”
Tm not being kind!” Catherine took Estelle’s hand and slipped the bracelet onto her wrist. These were originally a pair. I’ve given one to Janice already; this one was always meant for Jonathan’s wife”
Hearing Catherine’s words, Estelle couldn’t refuse. Thank you, Mrs. Lamont!”
The elegant diamond bracelet fit perfectly on Estelle’s slender wrist, adding to her grace and charm.
Hearing Catherine’s words, Estelle couldn’t refuse: “Thank you, Auntie!”
“It’s so beautiful!” Norah took Estelle’s hand,
She looked up jokingly and asked, “What will you give me when I get married?”
“When are you getting married?” Catherine laughed, saying, “You’re already planning a wedding, and you don’t even have a boyfriend!”
“Just have the gift ready, and when I find a boyfriend, I’ll get married right away!” Notch said, her eyes twinkling, her face playful, so very cute
“You have no shame!” Catherine laughed, saying. “You girls go on chatting. I’ll step out”
“Grandma!” Norah called out to Catherine, “Can Estelle sleep in my foom tonight?”
Catherine’s face softened into a smile. “That’s not for me to decide, you’ll have to ask Jonathan.”
Estelle blushed. “I can decide that myself!”
Catherine and Norah both laughed.
Not long after Catherine left, Estelle received a text from Jonathan.
[Are you done chatting? Come upstairs and keep me company]
Estelle texted back, [Norah and I have plans; I’m spending the night in her room. You should get some rest.]
A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Norah laughed, “I bet it’s Jonathan
Opening the door, there stood Jonathan.
“Can I have my wife back now?
Norah blocked the doorway, saying, “No, Estelle and I aren’t done chatting. I’ll give her back to you tomorrow.”
Jonathan calmly asked, “Isn’t your school organizing a fundraising event for kids in the mountains? Have you met the fundraising goal yet?”
“We’re a bit short Norah’s eyes immediately lit up.
‘I'll donate The man said it generously
“Deal!” Norah turned and pushed Estelle towards Jonathan, saying, Tm handing Estelle over to you. Don’t forget your promise, I’ll send someone to your company to collect the money tomorrow”
“You sold me off just like that?” Estelle looked at Norah in surprise.
“It’s not about the amount, it’s the thought that counts! Estelle, once the fundraising is over, you’ll be the main contributor to this charity event. I’ll make sure the kids in the mountains write you a thank you letter Norah winked at Estelle and said, “Off you go, goodnight!”
Estelle was helpless
Jonathan held back a laugh, took Estelie’s hand, and headed upstairs.
