Chapter 155
Estelle chuckled, “Let’s talk about it when your grades come out. If you don’t do well, I’ll be too embarrassed to come back
Henson snorted, “That’s not something you need to worry about. I won’t embarrass you!”
“I believe in you!” Estelle slung her backpack over her shoulder. “Even if I don’t come anymore, we can still play games together every day.”
Henson furrowed his brow, asking, “What do you mean by that?”
Estelle glanced back at Henson and replied, “It’s nothing, please don’t overthink it.”
Henson’s eyes darted around for a moment before he suggested, “Once my exams are over, let’s go horseback riding together.”
Estelle thought for a moment before saying, “After I finish tutoring, I need to find another job. I don’t know if I’ll have time, we’ll just have to keep in touch by phone.”
“You’re really busy!” Henson pouted.
“No choice, I need to make money!” Estelle shrugged. “I’m leaving now, good luck with your exams!”
“Yeah, yeah!” Henson said with an impatient expression.
Estelle laughed and turned to leave.
When Jonathan returned that evening, Fabian informed him, “Ms. Macclain said today was her last class. I settled her wages for the whole month and paid her.”
Jonathan’s brow furrowed with concern as he asked, “Did she quit?”
Fabian nodded in confirmation, explaining, “Ms. Macclain informed me that she found another job and may not have the availability to continue tutoring after the summer break. She requested that I keep this information from Henson for now.”
A fleeting expression of displeasure passed over Jonathan’s face, but he composed himself and responded, “Understood. Thank you for letting me know.”
Feeling more upset as he thought about it, Jonathan picked up his phone and made a call.
Once connected, he directly asked, “Why didn’t you tell me you quit?”
Estelle didn’t expect him to confront her directly over the phone, hesitated for a moment, and then replied calmly, “I told Fabian.”
Jonathan asked, “Who’s your employer?”
Estelle remained silent, her thoughts concealed.
Jonathan gazed out into the dark night before breaking the silence with a question, “What kind of job did you find?”
Estelle’s response held a touch of defiance as she replied, “Do I really need to report that to you, Mr. Lamont?”
Jonathan scoffed, a hint of frustration in his voice, “I’m ‘Uncle‘ when you need me, and ‘Mr. Lamont‘ when you don’t. You certainly know how to make a distinction.”
Estelle found herself at a loss for words, uncertain of how to respond. After a moment of silence, Jonathan said softly, “Our issues have nothing to do with Henson. He really likes you, and it was hard for him to accept a tutor in the first place. If he has to change tutors again, he’ll just throw a fit, and his grades may be affected. If you don’t want to see me anymore, we can avoid meeting when you come over. But there’s no need to take it out on Henson.”
Estelle blushed, embarrassed. “I didn’t involve Henson. I was just afraid you didn’t want to see me.”
“I don’t!” Jonathan blurted out.
He immediately felt annoyed with himself and purposely spoke coldly, “Well, that’s it. Let’s proceed with the tutoring after the break‘ Then he hung up the phone.
Estelle’s brows furrowed as she stared at her phone, deep in thought.
Emily approached with a plate of cut fruit, a playful smile on their face. “What’s troubling you? Who was on the phone?” Estelle’s expression remained tense as she asked, “Why is it that I can’t bring myself to get angry at someone who infuriates me?” “At that, huh!” Emily’s eyes sparkled mischievously, tilting his head with a grin. “If it’s a guy, it’s probably because you like him.” Estelle gasped and threw her phone to the side with a disgusted look. She muttered under her breath, “I don’t like him!”
“Who is it?” Emily became even more curious
Estelle hesitated for a moment and replied, “A distant uncle!”
Emily immediately said, “Ah, a relative. Then it must be because you respect him!”
Estelle went speechless.
Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
