Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)



Jason said, “Got a bit spooked last night, took off first thing this morning!"

Good thing he didn't bolt in the middle of the night, or else he'd be too worried and have to chase after her right away.

Jewel couldn't help but laugh, "So, you heading back to J City today?"

Jason replied, "No, in a couple of days."

Jewel said, "Fair enough. This time, you really do need to give her some space to get used to the changes between you two."

Jason, "Anyway, thanks a lot!"

Jewel softly said, "No need for thanks. As long as you don't resent me for pushing Sophia away with my half-baked ideas, I'm good."

"No chance!" Jason said quietly, "It was bound to happen sooner or later!"

Jewel chuckled gently, "Alright then. Wish you luck in winning over your lady. Don't forget to invite us for a beer when you tie the knot."

"Definitely!"

Jason's tone grew more resolute.

Sophia arrived in J City in the afternoon. The room was covered in dust, she didn't bother hiring a cleaning service, opting to tidy up on her own instead.

She needed to keep busy, to stop herself from constantly thinking about Jason and the out-of-control moment from the night before.

She fled to B City to avoid Robin, and now she's back in J City, running from Jason.

Thinking about it, she felt like a complete fool!

By early evening, after she cleaned up the house, she called Estelle, “Estelle, I'm back in J City. I'm planning to visit Master. Do you want to come along?"

Estelle hadn't gone to the company with Jonathan Lamont today; she was at the Royal Mansion working on her design drafts. Upon receiving the call, she immediately said, "Sure, shall we head out now?"

"Bring your wedding dress drafts; I'll give them another look," Sophia suggested.

"See you in a bit!" Estelle responded.

After agreeing, Sophia put on her coat, grabbed her bag, and headed out.

She drove herself. Waiting at a red light, she couldn't help but think of Jason again. Was he drunk last night? Was that why he lost control?

His eyes had been dark and passionate, filled with so many emotions. Thinking back, her heart ached a bit.

Did he truly love her?

She still felt bewildered, as if it wasn't real.

The car behind her suddenly honked, snapping her back to reality just as the light turned green. She quickly focused and drove off.

On her way, she picked up some

pastries her master enjoyed. By the time she arrived at the Jarvis family's place, it was already dark. She immediately spotted Evelyn in the yard, picking flowers.

J City, with its southern location, enjoyed warm weather, and the spring flowers were already blooming.

"Sophia!” Evelyn exclaimed happily upon seeing her and walked over.

Looking at Evelyn in the twilight, Sophia felt she had changed a lot.

Initially, Evelyn had a bright

eln

personality with a hint of shyness in her eyes. Now, dressed in designer clothes and wearing an emerald necklace, she had completely transformed into the delicate image of a rich young lady.

"Sophia, long time no see!" Evelyn said with a smile. Sophia nodded with a faint smile, "How's Master?"

"Great! With me keeping Grandpa company, how could he not be? He said this was the happiest New Year he's had Evelyn's lips curled up "After raft, no matter how close

others are, they can't compare to a reat-granddaughter, right, Sophia?"

Sophia frowned slightly, puzzled by Evelyn's apparent need to guard against her.

Was she afraid Sophia would steal her status as the granddaughter?

Moreover, out of everyone, Evelyn seemed only to harbor hostility towards her.
