Chapter 140


    Estelle had been sitting on the balcony for an hour, feeling annoyed and in a bad mood. She didn’t


    know whether it was because of the end of the rtionship or because of the injustice and indignation


    caused by Jonathan’s false usations.


    She picked up her phone, and the message she sent to Jonathan half an hour ago had still received no


    reply.


    Maybe he would never reply to her again.


    Estelle’s emotions were a tumultuous mix of anger, injustice, disappointment, and a tinge of emptiness.


    Even her beloved ice cream failed to ignite her interest anymore.


    Fortunately, she had always maintained herposure and hadn’t allowed herself to fall for him


    Suppressing the bitterness that lingered within her, she experienced a sense of relief intertwined with


    anger. She didn’t like Jonathan, and he wasn’t deserving of her affection!


    Feeling suffocated, Estelle picked up her phone and looked through it, thinking about when to move out


    and go to her own ce, or maybe to Jason’s ce at the Royal Mansion?


    Or maybe she should move further away to avoid bumping into Jonathan in the future.


    Her finger suddenly stopped, and she saw Manley’s Ins from two hours ago – the misleading text and


    pictures.


    Estelle sighed, her already annoyed mood bing even more irritable. How could someone like


    Manley exist?


    No wonder Jonathan asked her if she had fallen for Manley.


    He must have seen Manley’s Ins too.


    For a moment, Estelle wanted to call Jonathan and rify tonight’s events, but after a brief moment of


    calm, she decided against it. His not replying to her messages already meant they had silently ended


    their agreement.


    Why bother with anything else?


    The following day, as Estelle was busy packing her belongings, her phone rang, and she saw that it


    was Emily calling. “Estelle, I want to let you know that I wasn’t actually fired from the dessert shop.


    Instead, I’ve been transferred to a branch near the University of J City. This means we’ll have more


    opportunities to see each other!” Emily eximed with excitement in her voice.


    Estelle smiled faintly, “Really?”


    “Yeah!” Emily was delighted. “Oh, I have something else to tell you. You said you rented a ce near


    the University of J City. Can I stay with you for a few days? The manager here said we neers


    need training, and I have to get up very early. My ce is too far away. I won’t make it in time by taking


    transportation.”


    Estelle didn’t say anything. She was nning to move out today.


    Seeing her not speaking, Emily asked, “Is it inconvenient? If it’s not, I’ll find another ce.”


    “No, it’s fine.” Estelle chuckled, “Just stay for a few days. How can you find a ce so fast? Where are


    you now? Are youing over?” After all, it was only for a few days, and Jonathan wouldn’te. She


    could wait for Emily to finish her training and then move out. Emilyughed, “I’m at the shop right now.


    I’lle over after work this afternoon. I’ll bring some cake for you.”


    “Great!”


    Estelle hung up the phone and looked at the half–packed clothes, showing a helpless expression and


    then put them back one by one.


    At five o’clock in the afternoon, she met Emily downstairs and brought her up.


    It wasn’t until Emily entered the room that she sighed, “Estelle, howe you didn’t tell me you’re


    staying at the Royal Mansion? Thendlord decorated this ce so luxuriously, the rent must be


    expensive, huh?”


    Estelle responded in a soft tone, “Not really. I’ve only rented the guest room, so it’s not that

    expensive.”


    “It must still be more expensive than a regr ce. I’ll give you money!” Emily took out her phone to


    transfer money to Estelle.


    Estelle chuckled, “Are you not treating me as a friend? If you insist on giving me money, then you


    better not stay here!”


    Emily pouted and let out a sigh. “You’re always helping me, and I feel like I’m taking advantage of


    you.”


    Estelleughed softly. “Why don’t you mention how many of your desserts I’ve enjoyed?”


    Emily snorted yfully. “They can’t evenpare!”


    Estelle looked at her with a gentle and serene expression, “In my heart, they hold the same value.”


    Emily smiled, her eyes forming crescent moons, “Well then, I won’t hold back!


    Estelle took her to the room next door. “This room used to store misceneous items, I’ve cleaned it up


    and added a bed and a desk Take a look and see if you need anything else?”
