Chapter 866
Jonathan had Millard drive him to the Royal Mansion
It was already eleven at night Jonathan didn’t get out of the car. He hung out in the car for a bit, then dialed Estelle, “You asleep yet?”
Estelle sounded a bit groggy. “Just lay down, are you back”
Jonathan paused a bit, then coolly replied, “Not yet Might be a late one You get some shut eye, no need to wait up
“Stay safe, don’t get sloshed‘ Estelle said
“Okay, hang up Through the rearview mirror, Millard glanced at Jonathan, whose poker face slightly furrowed.
Jonathan lounged in the car seat for a bit longer before having Millard drive him back to the old Lamont family house.
He figured he needed some time to chill and rethink his relationship with Estelle.
Geoffrey was still up, and seeing that he didn’t ask about Estelle after he came back,, he just said, “Was about to ring you up. You should crash here for a while!” As Jonathan made for the stairs, he looked back, “Does mom know about me and Estelle?”
“No, I haven’t told her Your mom thinks highly of Estelle Your mother’s impression of Estelle is not bad. Until you find out, I can say nothing and save her some dignity
Jonathan nodded slightly. “Thanks, dad!”
The next day was a Saturday, Estelle woke up early. As the day broke, she found Jonathan was not there. Suddenly, she felt a bit lonesome.
She got up to find the spare room also empty
Jonathan hadn’t come home all night!
In the past, no matter how late he stayed out, he would always return to the Royal Mansion. But this time, he hadn’t.
Looking at the empty room, Estelle suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
She went to the balcony, read a bit, and only when the sun was fully up did she go to the kitchen to make breakfast.
