Chapter 1218


    Magdalen scored a big client in B City, which had her over the moon. Estelle and Emily were also riding


    the high with her. They were clinking sses and gabbing away, creating a warm and friendly


    atmosphere


    Kya was quietly munching on her dinner, asionally making ament that would have everyone in


    stitches


    As the night wore on, their gathering moved from the dining room to the living room, with Magdalen still


    hitting the booze, Estelle enjoying an ice cream, and Emily with a big bag of chips in her hand.


    Even while snacking, they did not forget to chat, with an endless supply of topics.


    Kya couldn’t open her eyes and dozed off in Emily’s arms. But the other three were far from sleepy,


    chatting away into the wee hours.


    In the stillness of the night, under the warm yellow light, sitting together with good friends seemed like


    the best thing in the world.


    Having drunk quite a bit, Magdalen decided to bunk at Emily’s ce. Estelle tucked her into the guest


    bed before heading upstairs to sleep


    Estelle went upstairs and sat on the balcony sofa, staring at the city in the early morning.


    Beside her, only a floormp was on, casting a dim light. Under the glow, Estelle’s features looked


    delicately beautiful, but there was a hint of confusion in her clear eyes


    Feeling tipsy, she couldn’t fall asleep.


    She took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts. Thest call from Jonathan was eight days


    ago. That day, she had returned from Vi del Sol and told him she was going home to work on some


    designs.


    They parted at the building’s entrance. As she was waiting for the elevator, he suddenly called her and


    said.


    “E, can you turn and look at me the next time we part?”


    That moment seemed like a long time ago, but she could still remember his gentle tone.


    She was taken aback for a moment, then responded with a soft “Mm-hmm”


    He seemed very pleased and then hung up.


    Not long after, Manley Scott created a storm between them, shattering that warm moment.


    Estelle stared at the name on her phone, her finger hovering over it, a sh of hesitation in her eyes. In


    the end, she pressed the dial button.


    The phone went into dialling mode. The ringtone rang once, twice, three times, but no one picked up.


    Jonathan couldn’t possibly be sleeping now, so he must be deliberately ignoring her call.


    Estelle felt a chill in her heart. Seeing that the phone rang four or five more times with no response, she


    was about to hang up when the screen flickered and then went ck


    Her phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically


    Estelle couldn’t help but smirk. Perhaps even her phone was trying to save her from further


    embarrassment.


    She got to her feet, took a deep breath, trying to blow away the dullness in her chest, and walked back


    to her room with her phone. After plugging it in, she didn’t turn it back on and grabbed her pajamas to


    take a bath.


    Midnight Bar


    Jonathan had gone to the restroom and came back to find a missed call on his phone. He casually


    unlocked his phone and froze when he saw the caller’s


    name


    Had She called him? She actually called him!


    “What are you daydreaming about?” Charlie was sitting next to him, chuckling softly

    He had a social engagement earlier in the evening and had just arrived. Upon arrival, he saw Jonathan


    sitting on the couch, transfixed by his phone


    He took a nce at the screen and saw Estelle’s name. Smiling, he asked, “Did you have another spat


    with Estelle?”


    Jonathan had been off his gametely, and the only one capable of getting him so down in the dumps


    was Estelle!


    Jonathan finished the drink in his hand, his gaze icy “What do I have to do to make Manley disappear


    from her lifepletely?”


    He had sent Manley abroad and even arranged for a woman to get close to him!


    But this time, Marley’s feelings for Estelle were real. He wasn’t messing around with other women


    anymore and wasn’t frequenting clubs unless he had to for business. He was actually starting to clean


    up his acti


    Charlie shook his head, “That’s tough. You know Manley once saved Estelle’s life. They were together


    for two years. You’ve also said that Estelle believes in repaying kindness, she won’t let anything


    happen to Manley. If you take a hard stance. She might never forgive you”


    Jonathan felt a pang in his heart and replied with a bitter smile, Do you really think I still care whether


    she forgives me of not?”
