Chapter 1073


    Estelle’s eyes were icy cold. “But for the past two years, Charlie has never sought Emily. Perhaps he’s


    forgotten about her. Even if he knows about Kya, so what? Does he think he can recognize his own kid,


    or that he could marry Emily?”


    If he couldn’t marry Emily, but was so fond of Kya, it’d be a disaster for Emily as he might try to snatch


    Kya away from her.


    Kya was everything to Emily, her only emotional support! So why should she spill the beans and send


    Emily into a panic?


    Jonathan looked at her calmly, “Charlie was indeed a bit of a yboy, but he hasn’t been messing


    around with girls these past two years. He didn’t seek Emily because he didn’t want to disturb her.”


    Estelle said, “I have no idea what’s going on in Charlie’s head. I’ve done Emily wrong by letting Charlie


    see Kya without her permission. I won’t make Emily face Charlie, nor will I hinder them, or y


    matchmaker. Please, don’t bring this up in front of Charlie.”


    “Alright, I’ve been warned. I wouldn’t dare say anything without your permission, now would I?”


    Jonathan chuckled.


    Estelle ignored him and continued eating.


    After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant. Estelle was about to go to the counter to pay when


    Jonathan grabbed her wrist, “No need, I’ve already paid.”


    Estelle was so surprised that she hadn’t even noticed when he had taken hold of her wrist. “When did


    you pay?”


    She hadn’t seen him leave the table.


    Jonathanughed, “I have Courtney’s PayPal ount. I just transferred her the money.”


    Estelle finally understood, taking out her phone, “I’ll transfer you the money then. How much was it?”


    They had agreed before that it was her treat today.


    “It’s been paid for today, maybe next time!” Jonathan smiled, taking her hand and leading her out.


    Once they were in the courtyard, Estelle finally realized and pulled her hand away from his Jonathan


    didn’t force her, calmly walking ahead.


    Once in the car, Estelle asked again, “Can I have the gun now?”


    Jonathan nodded, “Sure, I’ll take you to get it now.”


    Estelle frowned, “Where did you put the gun?”


    “The Royal Mansion.” Jonathan looked at her, a meaningful look in his eyes. “I left the gun at the Royal


    Mansion that night.”


    Upon hearing about those two nights, Estelle felt a flush creeping up her ears. Luckily, the car was

    dimly lit.


    The car hit the road, after a moment of silence, Estelle was irritated. If the gun was at the Royal


    Mansion, why did she have toe here for dinner?


    She took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. Arguing might just bring more trouble!


    At 9pm, the city of J was brightly lit, neon lights apanying the twinkling lights of the skyscrapers,


    illuminating the night. At this time, the roads were crowded, and Jonathan drove unhurriedly. He was


    ying a CD, a melodious tune with a hint of sorrow echoed in the quiet car.


    Feeling tired, Estelle leaned her head against the seat, watching the traffic outside, feeling drowsy.


    After a few songs, she realized that Jonathan was ying songs from two years ago. Back then, he


    would pick her up from the studio every day and take her back to the Royal Mansion. He always yed


    some light music to help her rx.


    Now, two yearster, hearing these songs again stirred up memories she’d rather forget. Once she


    realized this, Estelle’s drowsiness vanished, herzy eyes bing alert and wary.


    Upon reaching the Royal Mansion, they took the elevator up. The two of them remained silent until they


    entered the room. Suddenly, Jonathan grabbed her hand, gently pushed her against the wall, and


    kissed her.
