Chater 994


    Estelle left the restaurant and walked a good distance before realizing she had forgotten to retrieve her


    car and had simply walked away.


    She had a busy day and didn’t eat much at lunch, now her stomach was giving her grief.


    Looking around, she noticed the restaurant was close to the University of J City. She decided to hoof it


    over to the food street and grab some noodles.


    It was the same ce she used to frequent.


    Finding a vacant seat, Estelle sat down. The owner promptly came over with a big grin, “What can I get


    you, missy?”


    Only then did he recognize her and his face lit up, “Well, it is you! It’s been ages since Ist saw you


    here, you’ve graduated, right?”


    Estelle gave a small nod, “I’ve been overseas for the past two years.”


    “No wonder!” The owner was still as chatty as ever, “I thought you hadn’t turned up for a while, but your


    boyfriendes here often.”


    Estelle was taken aback, “Boyfriend?”


    “Yep! The gent who used toe with you.” The owner said with a smile.


    Jonathan came here often? This was a surprise to Estelle.


    Jonathan’s upbringing didn’t condition him for dining in such cramped and crowded ces. He’d only


    either; he would only nibble a bit to keep herpany. “Same old, same old?” The owner asked, still


    remembering her usual order.


    Estelle snapped back to reality and nodded, “Yes!”


    “Coming right up!” The ownerughed and walked away.


    Estelle’s mind wandered back to the words the man had said earlier. She admitted, their breakup


    wasn’t entirely his fault. She had issues, too. But times had changed, they can’t return to how things


    were, and she definitely can’t fully love him again.


    Perhaps her childhood experiences had made her more sensitive to pain than others. She remembered


    every detail of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her adoptive parents when she was three, and


    the deep-seated pain of their breakup.


    She may never trust him again, or believe in love!

    Her memory had set up defenses around that particr ce. Every time she got close to him, or even


    saw him, it would trigger that memory, and that memory would always tell


    her to stay away from Jonathan!


    When love can’t bring joy to both parties, it was time to call it quits.


    Estelle stared at the food in front of her, something she had been craving for, still as delicious as ever,


    but for some reason, it didn’t taste the same as she remembered.


    Later that night, Henson was jolted awake by thunder. Remembering his newly sprouted sunflower in


    the garden, he hastily got dressed.


    Growing a nt from seed to fruit was a school assignment. He couldn’t let his sunflower get ruined by


    the rain.


    When he got outside, he saw two servants and Fabian setting up a rain shelter for the sunflower.


    Seeing him, Fabian shouted, “Get back inside, it’s going to rain!”


    Henson ran over to help Fabian finish the shelter, then he went back inside, reassured. Turning around,


    he saw the light on the third floor was still on. He paused, then dashed back into the house.
