Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2118

Gabriel walked back into the private dining room just as Jonathan had arrived.

Evelyn was initially seated next to Estelle, but as soon as Jonathan came in, she scooted over to sit beside him.

Seeing Gabriel return, Evelyn beamed, “Gab, the food's out, and it's to die for.”

Gabriel didn't respond, instead turning to Jonathan, “When did you get here?”

“Just got here.” Jonathan said with an easy smile, pouring a glass of wine for Gabriel. “It's the host's home brew. Give it a try.”

Estelle chimed in, “I want some too.”

Jonathan poured her half a glass, “That's your lot.”

Estelle wasn't greedy; she accepted it and then poured half of her share into Evelyn’s glass, “You could hold your liquor pretty well back in Zion. It’s chilly out; a little drink will warm us right up.”

Evelyn laughed, a touch embarrassed, “That was all an act; I get buzzed pretty easily.”

The group chatted while they drank, with Jonathan and Gabriel deep in conversation, but Jonathan still made sure to look after Estelle with a consideration that made Evelyn look on with envy.

Noticing Jonathan serving Estelle, Evelyn picked up her utensils to do the same for Gabriel.

Gabriel politely declined, leaving Evelyn with an awkward smile.

As they finished their meal, Evelyn saw that Gabriel hadn't touched the food she served him, which left a bittersweet feeling in her heart.

She hadn't dared hope to be Gabriel's girlfriend; she just respected him a lot and wanted to fit into the circle as soon as possible.

When it was time to pay, Courtney mentioned that Jonathan had already settled the bill.

Since it was all in the family, Gabriel didn't make a fuss.

Walking out arm in arm with Estelle, Evelyn expressed her satisfaction, “This place is amazing – great views, delicious food. I’m not familiar with J City, so from now on, if there’s a cool spot to hang out or dine, you’re taking me.”

Estelle replied, “No problem, there’ll be plenty of opportunities.”
