Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 1328

Chapter 1328 

Jonathan whipped up four dishes with the limited ingredients they had. The wine Charlie brought over last time was still unfinished, so they all sat down for a meal and some chitchat 

Throughout dinner, Charlie was all over kya-patient and attentive-and Kya seemed to rely on him. 

Suddenly, Estelle had this feeling that Charlie was turning into quite the dad. Unknowingly, he was providing Kya with some fatherly love. 

After dinner, Jonathan and Charlie had a chat while Estelle and Emily listened to the sound of rain on the balcony. 

Night rain in J City always had a way to calm the soul. 

Charlie suddenly popped the question, “Do we have any playing cards? Let’s have a game” 

Emily replied, “There’s a deck left by previous tenants. Never bothered to throw them out.” 

“Great, fetch them! Let’s play some poker!” Charlie laughed. 

Emily went to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and took out the deck of cards.. 

They all returned to the living room and sat around the table. “What are we playing?” Charlie asked. 

Jonathan suggested, “We can play Bridge with four players!” 

“Bridge it is, it’s simpler” Charlie shuffled the cards, placed them on the table, and said with a smile, Til team up with Emily, and you guys be a team. Let’s roll!” 

The adorable Kya asked, “Who am I teaming up with?” 

Everyone laughed at her innocent tone. 

Charlie held Kya in his arms and softly said, “Kya, you’re with me, okay?” 

“Okay!” Kya happily agreed. 

Emily mumbled, “I don’t know how to play: I’ll be winging it. Don’t blame me if I slow us down!” 

“No worries,” Charlie laughed, “they’ve got a rookie too.” 

Estelle knew he was referring to her. 

Every time they played cards at gatherings, without Jonathan guiding her she would be the one losing the most. 

She didn’t know why she was always bad at card games, or any games, to be honest 

Could it be that her training from childhood hindered her progress in these intellectual activities? 

Seeing Estelle’s troubled expression, Jonathan rubbed her head to comfort her, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ve got your back! You won’t lose!” 

Charlie laughed, “Don’t be too sure! Let’s set the stakes for winning or losing now.” 

Estelle raised an eyebrow. “Are we doing turtle stamps?” 

Emily shook her head “No turtles; we can just draw with a pen.” 

“Let’s just drink, loser drinks, truth or dare, whatever works!” Jonathan suggested. 

“Deal!” Charlie readily agreed. 

With the rules set, they started dealing the cards. 

In the first round, Jonathan had a great hand, and Charlie was helpless. 

In the end, Jonathan and Estelle won 

Charlie was not one to back down, he poured a drink and downed it in one gulp. 

The second round was a close match. Halfway through, Estelle was losing, but Emily hesitated and gave them a chance. Charlie’s face changed as he knew Jonathan was about to play a great hand, reversing the situation.
