Chapter 1431
The chess match was heating up, and a showdown between the two sides was about to break out.
Suddenly, Estelle’s phone started buzzing on the side. Jonathan furrowed his brows, about to switch the phone to
silent mode, when Estelle suddenly came to. She was still a bit groggy, reaching out to grab her phone.
Estelle, leaning against Jonathan’s leg, unlocked her phone to see a message from Sallie.
“Estelle, did you catch the TV show yesterday? Amber and I bagged first place.”
Next was a laughing emoji.
Estelle, clear-eyed, responded with a smile, “Congrats.”
She’d been taking care of Mr. Jarvis these past few days and had forgotten to watch Sallie’s show, but it seemed
like the results were to Sallie’s liking.
Sallie replied. “Mr. Gellar is amazing. Everyone online is talking about his hand embroidered roses. Have you seen
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit? He made it to trending topics first thing in the morning”
Estelle had already expected this.
Mr. Gellar had a unique embroidery style. Each rose in his hand-embroidered piece took two days to create, each
one different and lifelike, a sight to behold. No one else in the country had such a skill.
She knew that as long as Mr. Gellar appeared on the show, it would stir up a buzz.
Estelle opened Twitter, and sure enough, Mr. Gellar’s name was still on the trending topics list with comments full of
praise.
There were also a few comments supporting Carmella.
[Anyone else think Carmella’s designs were stunning? My eyes lit up when I saw them!
[Yes, I loved the outfit Carmella designed for Heather Vang. I hope they release a knockoff soon, because I’d
definitely buy it. Her designs are perfect for everyday wear]
[I think Sallie only won because of Mr. Gellar’s influence. Without his hand-embroidered roses, Carmella’s designs
would’ve won]
[Yeah, I feel the same way]
Estelle flipped through the comments without much thought, then continued scrolling through the rest.
By then, the chess match between Jonathan and Mr. Jarvis had ended. I’m going to rest a bit. Why don’t you take
Estelle out for a walk? Otherwise, she’ll just fall asleep out of boredom,” Mr. Jarvis suggested.
Estelle stretched lazily, smiling and saying, “Sounds good. We can bring back some desserts for Mr. Jarvis.”
“Off you go!” Mr. Jarvis waved them off. “Just be back before dinner.”
“Got it!” Estelle hopped off the bed, took Jonathan’s hand, and headed out.
Once they left the Jarvis house, they strolled down the tree-lined path Jonathan, holding Estelle’s hand, spoke softly,
“During the chess game, I mentioned to Mr. Jarvis about going to J City, but he refused.”
Estelle kicked at a stone on the path and said, “I knew it would be like that. The old chap is too stubborn!”
“t’s understandable that Mr. Jarvis doesn’t want to leave a place he’s familiar with,” Jonathan whispered. “From now
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon, we can visit him more often.”
“Mhmm!” Estelle nodded.
They continued their walk and soon arrived at their usual dessert shop.
Estelle stopped in her tracks, turning to look at the dessert shop
Jonathan knew that Estelle had been having a rough couple of days, and he wanted to cheer her up.
“Hold on, I’ll get you something to eat, he said
“I’ll get it myself” Estelle replied with a smile. She let go of Jonathan’s hand and headed towards the dessert shop..
There weren’t many customers in the dessert shop, so it was Estelle’s turn soon. T’ll have a small chocolate ice
cream and some lemon juice, please
The cashier took her order and then said in a sweet voice, “Please wait a moment, it’ll be ready soon.”
A nearby employee eyed Estelle; after a few glances confirming her identity, she approached Estelle and said, “Ms.
McClain, we meet again!”
Estelle was a bit taken aback. Do we know each other?”
“You’ve visited our shop before and bought desserts. Your boyfriend came with you” The girl said with a smile, “You
may not remember me, but i remember you!”
