Chapter 451


    “Alright, I get it, but I can’t help convincing Emily for her.” Estelle said calmly.


    Jonathan caught a glimpse of Estelle through the rearview mirror and admired her enhanced beauty in


    the sunlight. Deciding to take a pause, he


    pulled the car over and requested, “Come sit in the front seat.”


    Estelle shot him a questioning look butplied, stepping out of the car and settling into the passenger


    seat.


    As she fastened her seatbelt, Jonathan suddenly leaned towards her, his hand resting on the back of h


    er seat while his other hand gently cupped her face, initiating a passionate kiss. Estelle’s eyes widened


    in surprise, but they soon closed, sumbing to the intensity of the moment.


    This part of the road was for private vi use only, with very few cars passing by. Tall maple trees stood


    on both sides, and now it waste autumn, the red and yellow maple leaves were intermingled, adding


    a gorgeous touch to the sunlight that poured into the car and onto Estelle’s face.


    After what seemed like an eternity, Jonathan slowly pulled his lips away from Estelle’s, his eyes fixed o


    n her with a deep and focused gaze.


    Estelle opened her eyes, her vision gradually returning to rity. She inquired, “Does Yvonne frequentl


    y visit Charlie or Josiah’s house as well?”


    Jonathan offered an exnation, saying, “Our families have a closer rtionship with the Hanson famil


    y, and Yvonne has been close to my mother since childhood.”


    Pausing briefly, he continued, “If the opportunity arises, I will make things clear to her


    Estelle advised, “If you don’t have romantic feelings for her, don’t give her false hope.”


    Jonathan nodded in agreement, affirming, “Alright, I understand.”

    After that, he kissed her again, his voice bing husky as hevished attention on her jawline and n


    eck, “Do you have anything to do this afternoon?”


    Forced to tilt her head back, Estelle whispered, “Nah, nothing.”


    “Then let’s go home.” Jonathan’s voice was somewhat tense as he breathed against her chin, “E, I’m


    captivated by you.”


    Involuntarily, Estelle’s grip on his arm tightened.


    The Lamont Family


    During dinner, Yvonne noticed that Jonathan wasn’t there andughed, “I’ll go upstairs and call him!”


    Henson said, “No need, I just saw Uncle go out.”


    Yvonne was taken aback and asked subconsciously, “Did he go to drop off Estelle?”


    Mrs. Lamont entered the room from the living room and inquired, “Who took Estelle away?”


    Henson shifted his gaze, maintaining aposed expression as he responded, “No, I saw Ms. Maci


    n leave with a driver. My uncle probably had some business to attend to at thepany.”


    Mrs. Lamont took a seat and reassured Yvonne, saying, “He left after receiving a phone call. Don’t worr


    y about him, sit down and have some food.”


    Yvonne felt a deep sense of disappointment, her previously joyful mood suddenly dissipating. Despite v


    isiting Mrs. Lamont, they were still


    in the Lamont family house. The fact that Jonathan left without even saying a word to her left her in dis


    belief.


    For some reason, ever since she came back this time, she felt like Jonathan had changed!


    Although he used to be cold and indifferent, this time it felt different. In a daze, she felt a strange sense


    of panic.
