Chapter 1608
By the time they arrived at the Fairview Hotel, the day was almost dark.
As they entered the courtyard, a waiter led them in, passing through a crescent moon-shape gate, Magdalen was
sitting in a pavilion across from them, waving to Estelle, “Ella, over here!”
Jonathan released Estelle’s hand, and said softly, “Go and chat with Magdalen. I’m going over to the Sylvan
Savories. I’ll come find you later.”
“Okay!” Estelle nodded.
“The pastries at the Fairview Hotel are excellent. I’ve arranged for you to try each one. If you like any, we can pack
some in gift boxes for Grandpa.” Jonathan told her gently, then he leaned down to kiss Estelle on the cheek, “The
staff here will recommend their homemade plum wine, you can try a little, but just be cautious; it’s strong. Don’t
get drunk.”
The nearby waiter, noticing Jonathan’s handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, couldn’t help but look at

Feeling awkward under the waiter’s gaze, Estelle pushed Jonathan away, “I got it, I’m going to find Magdalen!”
“Go ahead!” Jonathan released her and watched her as walked away. Then, he turned towards Sylvan Savories.
Estelle crossed the winding wooden bridge. Magdalen’s resplendent in her red dress, was sitting in a wicker chair,
teasing her, “It’s not like you’re parting forever, why such long goodbyes?”
Estelle gracefully hopped onto a wooden pier, and leaned against a pillar, giving her a glance, “I like it!”
Jonathan had chosen a full-length dress for Estelle. At the moment, the gown cascaded from the ornate wooden
pier. It created a graceful curve as it flowed with her leg’s movements. Coupled with her own naturally aloof
demeanor, she presented an image of timeless beauty under the moonlight. Magdalen took a grape into her
mouth, sighing, “When I think back to how Jonathan used to be so arrogant, and now he’s completely submissive to
you, it’s hard to believe it’s the same person, Ella, you’re amazing!”
Estelle turned to look at the reflections of the trees on the river surface, ignoring her teasing. She asked, “Why did
you choose to meet here?”
“Not my idea. Do I look like someone who appreciates the finer things?” Magdalen laughed, pointing to the items on
the wooden table, “My mom sent these for you, and for Old Mr. Jarvis. You can take them with you when you return
to C City for Thanksgiving.”
“Jonathan has bought plenty already, and there are also others’ gifts. They are piled up in the warehouse like
antiques.” Estelle replied.
“I don’t care. This is a task from Mrs. Sampson, and I just need to complete it!”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. It was Kevin calling her, “Magdalen, haven’t you arrived yet?”
“I’m here, I’ll be right there”
Magdalen hung up the call and stood up, “Let’s go, someone’s getting impatient.”
Estelle leaned against the pillar, her brows slightly furrowed, “That Kevin again?”
“Yes, he’s quite adorable.” Magdalen said.
Estelle jumped down from the pier and followed Magdalen out.
A waitress came over and Magdalen asked her to keep the items she brought temporarily, and send them to

There was an ancient pavilion in front of them. Magdalen led Estelle up to the third floor of the pavilion. Kevin
turned around upon hearing the door open, his smile faltering slightly at the sight of Estelle, but quickly recovered,
“Estelle, you’re here too!”
Today, Kevin wasn’t wearing casual clothes but a white shirt and black vest, gibing him a look of a handsome young
man from a wealthy family.
Estelle spoke softly, “Mr. Kevin.”
Kevin grinned, “Please don’t call me Mr. Kevin, just like Magdalen, you can call me Kevin.”
They all took their seats, Kevin handed the menu to Magdalen, “You know Estelle’s taste, so you can order!”
“Okay” Magdalen took the menu to place their orders.
The pavilion overlooked a lotus pond, with a gentle fragrance wafted up on the breeze Carved windows and light
gauze screens created charming atmosphere
Kevin laughed, “I came here with friends a couple days ago. I thought the environment was nice, and the food was
good. So, I specially invited you over to try it”
