“Nah, I just wanna make some friends.” Carson smiled and glanced at Emily, acting casual as he continued chatting with Josiah.
Yvonne poured drinks for Estelle and Emily and warmly smiled, “Even though this is Carson’s villa, we used to hang out here all the time and treat it like our own place. So, you two shouldn’t feel like outsiders, and don’t be shy!”
Emily immediately replied, “No worries, you guys are all really nice.”
Yvonne said, “If they say anything inappropriate, just let me know, and I’ll sort them out!”
Although Emily hadn’t thought much about it, Yvonne’s comment made her feel a bit awkward, She quickly brushed it off.
On the other side of the long table, Jonathan leaned back in his chair, listening to Carson and Josiah’s conversation with a calm expression. He occasionally glanced in Estelle’s direction, his lips slightly pursed.
Charlie sat next to him, raising an eyebrow, “You were sulking just before and didn’t even want to see her. Why the sudden change in mood?”
Jonathan acted mysterious, “I’ve always been like this. Are you the only one who can see it?!”
“Don’t even try to deny it!” Charlie laughed.
As they spoke, a servant came over to serve the dishes, including a dessert called Snow Mountain Cheese. Jonathan softened his gaze and quietly said, “Take the dessert over to the ladies, will you?”
“Yes!” The servant immediately obeyed, carrying the dessert away.
Charlie stared at Jonathan, chuckling sarcastically, “I’m really curious about what happened on your way here?”
Jonathan smirked wickedly, “I’m not telling you!”
Charlie stared at Jonathan’s smug expression and sighed, “You’re done, man,”
Jonathan looked at him in confusion.
Charlie spoke sincerely, “Estelle hasn’t even done anything, and you’re already losing your mind with happiness. You’re so whipped!”
Jonathan’s heart skipped a beat, realizing Charlie was right. Estelle hadn’t explained her relationship with Xavier or even shown any intention of making up. Just one question about Hattie made him feel like all misunderstandings settled.
Charlie gloated, “Shocked by your own realization, aren’t you?”
Jonathan, his mood deflated, shot Charlie a cold glance, “People like you are destined to be alone!” Charlie laughed carelessly, “Don’t worry, I’ll never be lonely! There will always be beautiful women in this world. As long as there are beautiful women, I won’t be lonely!”
Jonathan raised an eyebrow, thinking that one day a woman would surely get Charlie and make him wish he were dead!
Charlie offered a cigarette to Jonathan, “Stop worrying about me, just think about how to make Estelle happy.”
Jonathan was about to take the cigarette but suddenly changed his mind.
Charlie smirked, “why, you’re quitting again?”
Jonathan subconsciously glanced at Estelle and smiled faintly, “One day, you’ll find out that having someone to care about is a wonderful feeling, far better than your empty happiness.”
Charlie scoffed, “Whatever, Mr. Noble. Bet you can’t resist getting into bed with her!”
Jonathan raised an eyebrow, sipped his tea, and said solemnly, “That’s called sublimation.”
Charlie burst into laughter, “I don’t believe there’s any difference!”
Jonathan didn’t bother arguing and just sipped his tea.
Over at Estelle’s side, the servant placed the dessert in the middle of the table and said, “Mr. Lamont had me bring it over.”
Yvonne’s face instantly lit up with a smile, and she said warmly, “The good thing about being
together for a long time is understanding each other. Jonathan still remembers my love for cheese even after all the years I’ve been away from home.”
