Chapter 1017


    As the two were in a standoff, Estelle’s phone suddenly rang, catching her off guard. She nced at


    the caller ID, her heart pounding in anxiety


    Jonathan noticed too, “Answer your phone.”


    He stayed put, almost brushing against Estelle’s face. When she picked up her phone, he didn’t back


    off.


    Estelle took a deep breath to calm her nerves, subtly turned her head to answer the call, “Manley?”


    “Estelle, I can’t have dinner with you tonight. Something’s up with our overseas operations, I gotta fly


    out immediately


    Estelle was taken aback, “So you’re leaving now?”


    Her voice was a bit hoarse, which Manley picked up on immediately. “Estelle, where are you?”


    Jonathan suddenly bit Estelle’s earlobe.


    Estelle almost let out a groan, but she held it back, pushing him away with one hand while pretending


    to be cool, I’m fine. I’m downstairs.”


    Thinking she was with Kya, Manley sounded reluctant, I might have to stay there for a few days, take


    care of yourself!


    Estelle was extremely sensitive from Jonathan’s kiss, unable to struggle or make a sound.


    After talking to Magdalenst night, Estelle decided to talk to Manley today. Either they stopped seeing


    each other, or they gave it a shot and she would try to like


    him.


    However, things always had a way of catching you off guard. How could she possibly be with Manley


    when she and Jonathan were in such a mess?

    Just as she was deciding, Manley had to leave. But she felt a sense of relief. She tried to ignore the


    fear Jonathan brought her and lowered her head, saying, “Okay, I got it.”


    Manley’s voice was gentle, “Wait for me toe back.”


    Estelle was in an awkward and angry position. She didn’t know how to respond to Manley’s affection.


    She knew there was no future for them, so all she could do wasugh lightly and say, “I gotta hang up


    now.”


    As she hung up, she swung her elbow towards Jonathan’s chest.


    Jonathan was quick to react. He grabbed her wrist, slowly raised his head, and gently licked his lips,


    his eyes both tender and cold. “This is thest time. Don’t ever talk to him like that again, or ill ship him


    off to Australia.”


    Estelle was stunned, then her eyes red up with anger, Jonathan, don’t push it!”


    Jonathan smiled, “I only have eyes for you.”


    His words only fueled Estelle’s anger, but just as she was about to explode. Jonathan moved in again.


    His cold lips met hers as he slowly said, “Don’t argue with me. If you say something I don’t like, I’ll find


    other ways to shut you up


    Estelle wanted to bite him!


    Jonathan looked down at her pink lips, thinking about tasting her again. But he was also afraid of


    pushing her too far. Seeing her swollen red eyes, he finally backed off and returned to the driver’s seat


    Estelle turned towards the car window, her tight face expressing her current anger.


    Jonathan had upset Estelle and himself, taking a solid five minutes to calm down before restarting the


    car.


    On arriving at the Lamont family, Estelle got out of the car without a word and headed towards the yard.


    Jonathan leaned against the car door watching her angry back. He took a deep breath, realizing that


    his impatience had not brought them closer but had pushed her away


    He just couldn’t wait anymore!
