Chapter 1013


    Xavier instructed Zachary, “There’s a two-year-old outside, could you rustle up some grub for the


    kiddo?”


    “Sure, no problem!“


    Zachary seemed to have put on some weight, his face had lost its previous roughness and be


    much friendlier.


    Xavier turned to Estelle, Let’s chat over there.


    Knowing there was a small yard behind the kitchen, Estelle followed Xavier towards it.


    The yard was the same as before, but now it was tidy and organized. Roses were nted all around


    the iron railing. They were in full bloom, filling the air with their fragrance.


    A sweet osmanthus tree was nted on the left wall, only as thick as an arm, but it was thriving.


    Estelle looked around and chuckled, “Did Norah nt all these?”


    Xavier sat down on a chair, his voice hoarse but powerful, “Who else? It’s all stuff that girl loves.”


    Estelle turned and asked. “Has Norah been working here all these years? Does Jonathan know she’s


    here?”


    Xavier lit a cigarette, and slowly replied, “She only starteding herest year. She helps out on


    weekends. Jonathan probably knows, but he hasn’t stopped her,” “Hmm.” Estelle nodded, suddenly her


    face changed and she instinctively took a step back.


    A dog, half the height of a human, came from the corner of the wall, staring at Estelle warily.


    Xavier gave a lowmand. “Back off!”


    The dog nced at Xavier and slowly retreated back to the corner.


    Amazed, Estelle turned her head, “Is this the puppy from two years ago?”


    Xavierughed, “Yes, it’s all grown up now. I keep it in the yard so it doesn’t scare people”


    Estelle, still a bit scared, didn’t dare to stay in the yard any longer, “I’ll go check on Kya.”


    Xavier aware of her fear of dogs, couldn’t help but chuckle. “When are you going to get over this fear of


    dogs?”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “it’s now a conditioned reflex! Estelle shrugged helplessly,


    Xavier said, “You go ahead, I’ll grab a few bottles of booze, and have a few drinks with Manleyter”


    “Alright


    As Norah spotted Xavier, “Estelle’s back, you must be thrilled, right?”


    Xavier nced back at her, casually replied, “Of course, what’s up?”


    “Nothing.” Norah’s eyes showed a hint of mncholy


    Xavier suddenly remembered, two years ago he had told Norah about his feelings for Estelle. She


    might have misunderstood.


    As the customers in the restaurant gradually left, Estelle and her group were just starting to eat. They


    called over Damian and others to join them around the table
