Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 902

Chapter 902

Half an hour later, the woman had cooked the meal and invited Estelle to dig in

It was regular country bread, along with two main dishes- a vegan local veggie stew, and some fried wild mushrooms with home-pickled meat. In this village, this could be considered a feast.

Estelle noticed that only she was served, while the woman was just watching with her child in arms. She kindly offered, “Come on, join in!”

The woman immediately shook her head. Perhaps she was worried that Estelle might not pay if they ate together.

“I’m treating the kids, come on over!” Estelle pushed the two dishes to the center.

Only then did the woman come over with the children. She grabbed two slices of rye bread and started eating at the table.

The boy snatched a slice of pickled meat first. After stuffing it in his mouth, his eyes were glued to the meat on the plate.

The girl, however, was munching on the greens, never touching the meat, but occasionally sneaking a peek at it. Estelle served her a piece, and after a glance at her mother, the girl gave the meat to her brother.

The woman smiled at Estelle and said, “She doesn’t fancy meat.”

Estelle didn’t say a thing, and just kept eating her meal.

After the meal, Estelle gave the woman some money, which she happily accepted.

But before the smile on the woman’s face faded, her expression changed and she turned around to scold, “Beatty, what the hell are you doing?”

Estelle turned around to see a piece of meat still on the plate. The girl couldn’t resist and tried to grab it while doing the dishes.

As soon as the woman shouted, the girl was startled and dropped the meat. The boy next to her also started crying out of fear.

The woman was even more furious. She picked up a wooden stick nearby, and started walloping the girl. The first hit landed on the girl’s neck. The girl didn’t dare to cry. She only tried to dodge it

away

The girl nodded, not fully understanding.

“Miss! The girl timidly looked at her, with a trembling hand, she took something out of her pocket and gave it to Estelle, “This is for you!”

In the girl’s hand was a red ball, made of leather.

As Estelle reached out to take it, she pushed the girl away and threw the ball away in the next second.

“Bang

The red ball exploded in the air, its shell scattering like petals. A pale powder dispersed in the air and was quickly blown away by the wind.
