Chapter 374
Estelle took a sip of water, lowered her eyes, and said slowly, “I closed my door when I call him. You
didn’t hear it
Mr, Jarvis sneered, ‘Don’t trick me just because I’m old. When two people are really in love, they can’t
bear to be apart for even a moment. If they do separate, they’d want to call each other several times a
day. Your situation is obviously not normal
Estelle leaned forward, resting her jaw on one hand, “Grandpa, have you been in love too?”
Old Mr. Jarvis snorted and showed a contemptuous expression, ‘Of course.”
“Grandpa, is the person you couldn’t bear to be apart from for a moment my grandma? Estelle asked
curiously.
“Of course it’s her. Who else could it be?” Under the twilight, Mr. Jarvis’s muddy eyes seemed to reflect
the afterglow of the sunset, exuding a gentle light, “Your grandmother and I were childhood
sweethearts. Our love back then was very pure.”
He finished speaking and snorted proudly, “Anyway, you young people nowadays won’t be able to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexperience that.”
Estelle pressed her lips together and smiled gently.
Mr. Jarvis glanced at her and spoke more seriously, “I’m old, and love is a matter for you young people.
If you don’t want me to interfére, I won’t. But if that kid bullies you, you must report it to your grandpa. I
got your back, and I won’t let any man hurt you.”
Estelle’s nose tingled, and she nodded, “Mhm.”
She turned to look at the lake in the twilight and whispered as if talking to herself, “He’s really good to
me.”
She wasn’t sure if their relationship was love, but on the day of the fire at Midnight Bar, she came out of
the bathroom and saw Jonathan rushing into room 6616. Seeing his panicked expression, she was
shocked and knew that he at least cared about her.
She thought there was more to their relationship than just being bed partners.
Since returning, she couldn’t help but think of him from time to time, recalling the last time they were
here, the manor, and his kindness to her before their quarrel.
Mr. Jarvis looked at her absent-minded appearance and laughed, “Missing him?”
Estelle’s face blushed, and she stood up, “I’m hungry. I’m going to grab something to eat in the
kitchen.”
Then she hurried off.
Old Mr. Wade came to add some water to Mr. Jarvis’s teapot and smiled kindly, “Miss Estelle is
different from before.”
The last time Estelle returned, he felt that she had changed. This time, with a longer stay, the change
was even more evident.
Mr. Jarvis blew on the tea foam and nodded slightly, “Yes, she’s like a lady now.”

He smiled, “I wasn’t optimistic about her marriage with the Lamont family before, but now it seems that
Jonathan has had a significant impact on her. Perhaps it’s a good thing.
Whether he’s sad or happy, at least she doesn’t hide her emotions anymore.
The next morning someone came to visit, and Estelle didn’t go up the mountain. She took a walk along
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe roadside instead.
When the passed by the previous drink store, Estelle went in for a cup of juice. She sat by the window,
looked at the white benches under the umbrella outside, and remembered Jonathan sitting there
waiting for her.
The new young waiter came over and introduced with a smile, “Miss, we have a promotion in our store:
buy one get one free for strawberry ice cream. Would you like one?”
Estelle’s eyes widened, she looked at the tempting ice cream image on the screen, thought for a
moment, and finally resisted, “No, thank you!”
“Alright, sorry to bother you!”
Estelle took a sip of her juice, her eyes still showing reluctance.
He wasn’t watching her anymore, and he was so far away. Why shouldn’t she have one?
Estelle sighed.
After finishing the juice, Estelle continued to walk forward, following the same path she and Jonathan
had taken before. She even rented a bicycle and slowly rode along the tree-lined path.
She passed by the villas, the square, and the crowd feeding pigeons…
Estelle stopped, sat on a bench, and daydreamed by herself.
