Chapter 1436


    Everyone was having a st, and the atmosphere was super chilled and happy.


    Every now and then, Estelle and Jonathan exchanged nces, the yful twinkle in his eyes making


    Estelle smile uncontrobly.


    Who would''ve thought that the Lamonts would ept her so easily, putting up with all her past secrets


    and not even questioning her original motives foring to the Lamont family?


    None of them made her feel ufortable or awkward.


    Geoffrey, Catherine, Alcott, and Janice were so thoughtful and sweet that they warmed Estelle''s heart.


    After a bit of chit-chat, Jonathan nced at the clock and said, "E''s been on the road all afternoon; I''ll


    take her upstairs to rest; we''ll be back to hang out with you guyster."


    Catherine smiled kindly and said, "Go on, I was so excited to see Estelle that I forgot you guys just got


    back. It was a long journey; you guys must be beat. Take her upstairs to rest. I''ll call you down when


    dinner''s ready."


    "Sure thing."


    Jonathan replied, standing up and taking Estelle''s hand.


    Estelle felt a bit out of ce in front of the Lamonts, but after a moment of struggle, she couldn''t pull


    away. She turned her head to casually wave goodbye to everyone and followed Jonathan upstairs.


    Once they were upstairs, Estelle let out a sigh of relief.

    "Still nervous?" Jonathan asked with a smile. "I told you, my family loves you. They''d probably marry us


    off right now if they could."


    Looking up at Jonathan, Estelle sincerely praised, "Geoffrey and Catherine are really nice!"


    "They''re your family too!" Jonathan replied with a gentle smile.


    Estelle looked down, not responding.


    Once they were in their room, Jonathan immediately pushed Estelle against the door, showering her


    with passionate kisses. "E, I missed you!"


    Estelle frowned. "We''ve been together these past few days."


    "But I could only look." Jonathan murmured against her skin.


    Estelle felt a tingle in her ear. "Can''t your mind drift to something else?"


    "Nope!" Jonathan chuckled, continuing to kiss her as they moved towards the bed.


    Estelle, now on the bed, immediately sat up and scolded, "Jonathan, cut it out! I have to go outter."


    Jonathan grabbed her hand, pulling her back into his arms.


    "Just let me hold you for a while."


    Estelle rolled her eyes and noticed that the bed was indeed new. She couldn''t help but smile, staying


    quiet in his arms without any struggle.


    Seeing her so docile, Jonathan grew fonder of her, pulling her chin up for another kiss.


    Estelle closed her eyes, tilting her head to reciprocate.


    Jonathan''s breath grew ragged as he turned her over onto the fluffyforter.


    Just as Estelle was getting lost in the kiss, there was a knock at the door. She immediately opened her


    eyes.


    Jonathan slowly pulled away, a glint of calmness in his eyes. He took a moment to calm his breathing


    before asking, "Who''s it?"


    "It''s me!" came Norah Lamont''s voice.


    "Norah''s back!"


    Estelle tried to get out of bed, but Jonathan held her wrist.


    He got up and wiped the traces of their kiss from her lips, then helped her straighten her clothes,


    smiling, "We didn''t do anything wrong; no need to panic."


    Estelle''s eyes twinkled like stars. "Norah sees me as a peer, but now I''m her elder."


    Jonathan chuckled, "It''s okay, you were her elder before you were her peer. You have nothing to worry


    about."
