Chapter 521
Charlie came over and saw that Jonathan was lost in thought. He joked, “Estelle went home, huh?”
“Yeah,” Jonathan nodded. “She left yesterday.”
“Just one day, but you already miss her this much?” Charlie teased, “Weren’t you the one who said you were just playing around with her?”
Jonathan laughed at himself. “I can’t help it, she’s just too adorable!”
He didn’t know how he fell for her or when she became the center of his thoughts. He had resisted and was unwilling to admit it, but in the end, he succumbed.
Charlie chuckled, seeing Jonathan’s honesty. He glanced at Yvonne, who’d been looking their way, and sighed, “Since yo Estelle, you should clear things up with Yvonne.”
Jonathan raised his eyebrows, “Can you tell that I like Estelle?”
Charlie didn’t quite get it, but he nodded without hesitation, “Of course!”
Jonathan spoke indifferently, “If everyone can see it, then Yvonne can too.”
Although Estelle didn’t want him to be public about it, everyone knew he liked her. He felt his attitude had already made enough.
Of course, Yvonne hadn’t explicitly said anything since she returned, but if she did, he would honestly tell her that he was in
with Estelle.
Charlie shrugged with a scared look, “Good thing I can see things clearly and never get serious. Relationship stuff is better left untouched, too much trouble!””
Jonathan glared at him, “What’s the difference between you and an assembly line worker?”
Charlie laughed. “The difference is huge! I spend money, they earn it!”
Jonathan smiled and got up to walk to the balcony. “Don’t come over and bother me!”
Charlie shook his head, I’d better not mess with a man in love!”
He sat back and sent a message to Estelle, “What are you doing?”
Estelle quickly video called him.
Jonathan was a little surprised and quickly picked up.
In the video, Estelle sat on a bench at sunset, behind her was the familiar road and the villa across from her, just as it was that day, she bathed in the setting sun’s colors.
Jonathan smiled gently. “You went out alone?”
Estelle’s beautiful face blushed a little, “Yeah, I rode my bike.”
She angled the phone to show him her bike parked under a tree.
“Why don’t you stay home with your grandpa? Jonathan asked.
“There were guests, so I thought I’d take a walk,”
“Anyone try flirting with you?”
“Yeah! I told him my boyfriend went to get water and would be back soon, and that he could add you on WhatsApp. He said I misunderstood him, and he wasn’t a salesman.”
Jonathan couldn’t help laughing. “And then?”
Estelle replied, “Then he left.”
“What if he didn’t go far and found out you lied?”
Estelle looked around and said seriously, “I’ll move to another spot later then.”
Jonathan laughed, “It’s getting dark, better head back soon.”
“Okay.”
After chatting for a while, Jonathan hung up, feeling restless.
He looked outside the balcony and saw the sky in J City had cleared up, with a few rays of sunset peeping through the clouds, just like in C City. He stared for a moment, then abruptly stood up and strode out
Yvonne, who was on the phone, quickly turned to look at him and shouted, “Jonathan, where are you going?”
Jonathan didn’t answer her and quickly left the room.
Yvonne’s eyes, which were smiling a moment ago, suddenly turned dim. On the phone, her close friend was still discussing how many evening gowns to bring but she already lost her interest.
