    it’s happening in the next couple of days!”


    “Does Xavier know?” Magdalen asked, her eyes blurry with tears.


    “Nope. And I ain’t nning on telling him either.”


    “Why not? If he knew, he’d definitely go with you. This is supposed to be between you two!”


    “It’s my problem!” Estelle insisted, her gaze unwavering. “Xavier almost lost his life once. I ain’t letting


    him risk it again. I owe it to everyone!“


    “By yourself?” Magdalen frowned. “How am I supposed to be okay with that?”


    1 got someone who’ll help!”


    Seeing that she couldn’t dissuade Estelle, Magdalen didn’t say anything but just kept crying. Her heart


    ached terribly, it was like she could foresee what was going to happen.


    Til be back. If anything goes south, keep it from Grandpa for me.”


    They sat together until sunset. After parting ways with Magdalen, Estelle went to see Jason


    She only mentioned that she needed to go on a long trip and would not be back soon. She asked him


    to pass on a message to Quintin. It saved her the trouble of going herself.


    “Is it dangerous?” Jason asked, his brows furrowed.


    Estelle nodded with a slight smile. “A bit risky, yeah.”


    “Can’t you just not go? It’s been so long since all that happened. Can’t you let it go?”


    I’m letting go with this trip!” Estelle said, looking rxed. I’ve thought about it for so long. I need closure


    to move on!”


    “You bettere back. I’ll be waiting.


    “Sure!”

    Estelle packed her bags. The day before her departure, she had a private meeting with Henson.


    They met at the same restaurant where Henson treated her to a meal and asked her to pretend to be


    his parent for a school function.


    Looking at the bodyguards standing outside the restaurant, she joked, “You think they’ll snitch to


    Jonathan?”


    “Who cares?” Henson said seriously, “You broke up with him, so what? We can’t hang out?”


    “You knew?”


    Henson looked downcast, “Why though? Everything was fine. Why did you break up?”


    “You’ll understand when you’re older. It’s normal for men and women to date and then break up.”


    Estelle reassured him, “Our rtionship won’t be affected by the breakup. Even though I’m not your


    tutor anymore, we’re still friends. You can alwayse to me if you have trouble with your studies”


    Henson grumbled in agreement, clearly not happy, “I still wish we could have been a family


    “Whoever Jonathan ends up with, will treat you well.” Estelleforted him, pulling out a deep-blue


    box tied with a ck satin bow from her bag. She ced the box in front of Henson, “This was meant


    to be Jonathan’s birthday present. Could you give it to him for me when the timees?” Henson


    picked up the box to inspect it. “Why don’t you give it to him yourself?”


    “I have to take a trip. I’m not sure if I can make it back before his birthday, so I’ll have to trouble you.”


    Henson shook the box, “What’s inside? Can I take a peek?”


    “No way!” Estelle shook her head.


    “Got it. Don’t worry, I won’t sneak a peek!”


    “Thank you!”


    “No need to thank mel


    Henson mumbled, shaking the box again, curious about its contents. He thought Jonathan would be


    really touched when he received this gift!


    That night, Estelle made a video call to Old Mr. Jarvis.


    They chatted for a while. She acted normal, even joking about his newly cultivated orchids.
