Chapter 229


    Charlie’s face was dark, ncing at Emily, and snorted, “you don’t even know how to please a men, ju


    st prepare to be single for the rest of your life!”


    After saying that, he turned around and left.


    Emily’s face flushed red, muttering softly, “Even if I’m single, I wouldn’t choose a man like you!”


    Charlie suddenly turned back and said, “What are you mumbling about?”


    Emily tilted her head up slightly, looking at the ceiling, pretending not to know anything, and headed to


    wards her room.


    Charlie let out a wry smile and returned to his room to sleep.


    After Estelle and Jonathan left, they didn’t take the elevator, but went upstairs by stairs.

    There were no other condos in these two floors and


    no one used the stairs. It would be even less likely for anyone to be there at this time.


    Jonathan scooped up Estelle directly, took firm steps, and walked upstairs one step at a time.


    The man lowered his head slightly and pecked her lips. With a gentle smile on his handsome face, he a


    sked, “Did you drink alcohol?”


    Estelle wrapped her arms around his shoulders, “Just a little bit.”


    “What else did you do? I’ll consider leniency if you tell the truth,” the man said with a light smile.


    Estelle shifted her eyes guiltily, thinking that he would not


    know about the ice cream she had finished before he came. Sheughed and said, “I just had


    a little drink, I swear!”


    Jonathan


    nodded slowly, “Before I came, Charlie sent me a photo. In the photo, I saw you holding a tub of ice cre


    am, eating it happily. Did I see it wrong?“/


    Estelle stared with her big, clear eyes, and said without changing her face, “It must


    be a photoshopped photo by Charlie, just trying to instigate our rtionship. You get fooled by him!”


    Jonathan suddenly realized and said seriously, “You’re right; we can’t fall for his trick!”


    Estelle smiled and kissed him on the face.


    The two had already entered the door


    upstairs. Jonathan closed the door with a slow and unhurried tone, “No ice cream for you for the next m


    onth. And don’t think I’m punishing you. If you do and it causes any unhappiness between us, it would


    mean that we’re still being manipted by Charlie!”


    Estelle’s smile gradually disappeared, and she looked at the man with pursed lips, “Can’t I even have o


    ne tub?”


    “Not even one!” Jonathan’s tone was firm.


    Unwilling to give in, Estelle smiled, “Didn’t you have guests at home? Why did youe back?”


    Jonathan said, “To prove that I’m not into men!”


    Estelle, “…”


    She leaned her head against his shoulder, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and softened her vo


    ice, “Can I still get leniency now if I confess?”


    Jonathan chuckled, patted her back reassuringly, and said, “What do you think?”


    When Jonathan carried Estelle back to the


    bedroom, he saw the lit cellphone on the cab, but he ignored it.


    At almost 3 am, Estelle was asleep, and Jonathan finally got up and checked his phone.


    It was a message from Charlie at midnight, “You’re so eager toe back, beware of getting too emoti


    onally involved!”


    Jonathan smiled, threw the phone away, went to the balcony for a smoke, and after opening the windo


    w and waited for the smell of smoke to disperse, he returned to the bedroom,y on the bed, and pulle


    d the sleeping girl into his arms.


    With Jonathan’s protection, Estelle rarely had to serve drinks in other private rooms, but


    the news that a beautiful waitress had arrived on the 8th floor quickly spread in Midnight Bar.


    Manley Scott had been busy with a new project


    in hispany, hadn’t been to Midnight Bar for almost a month, and as soon


    as he arrived, he barely sat down when the others talked about the new girl.


    Others knew of his feud with Jonathan and deliberately talked about it within his earshot.
