Chapter 1533


    Estelle shook her head, “Nope.”


    “I was just pulling your leg!” Janice replied with a gentleugh, “You guys go ahead. Henson can’t


    wait to see you.”


    Estelle smiled and nodded, “Alright.”


    As they climbed the stairs, Estelle asked Jonathan, “I haven’t messed up, have 1?”


    She liked Cathrine and Janice, but to fit into a new family, she might need some time.


    “No way!” Jonathan squeezed her hand, “Just be yourself. That’s what matters, Happiness was key.”


    Jonathan paused and cradled Estelle’s face, “Trust me, I’ll give you a life of ease. You won’t have to go


    against your heart or worry about people’s stares. You’ve always lived freely, and I won’t let marriage to


    me change that.”


    Estelle grinned, her eyes twinkling, “I’m not going against my heart. I truly like your family, but


    sometimes, I may feel out of ce and unsure how to respond to their warmth.”


    Jonathan chuckled, “You don’t need to respond. Just ept.”


    Estelle thought momentarily, then nodded slowly, “Got it.”


    Approached by a servant on the stairs, Estelle brushed past him, “I’m off to give Henson his lesson!”


    “Alright.” Jonathan leaned down and gave her a peck on the cheek, “Off you go.


    Entering Henson’s room for his lesson, Estelle expected Henson to rush up to her, excited and


    using her of hiding things from him.


    But no, Henson was just sitting on his couch as usual, ying games. On seeing her, he calmly said,


    “There’s an autograph card on the table. Go sign it.”


    A little nervous, Estelle picked up the card without a word, not daring to ask who wanted her


    autograph.


    As she was about to sign, Estelle looked back and asked, “Should I sign as KING or use my real


    name?”


    Henson gave her a disdainful look, “What good was your real name? This wasn’t a parent–teacher


    meeting!”


    Estelle, at a loss for words, could only sign as KING.


    Henson stood up, examined the autograph, and nodded, “Not bad.”

    Only then did Estelle ask, “Who’s this for?”


    “My desk–mate. She’s a fan of KING and wanted her autograph. She didn’t believe me when I said I


    could get it,” Henson replied. Then he added, “To be honest, I didn’t believe it myself. You hid it so


    well!”


    Estelleughed, “I wasn’t intentionally hiding it from you. I just thought whether or not I was KING didn’t


    affect our rtionship. Even Jonathan didn’t


    know!”


    Henson frowned and didn’t respond.


    Estelle continued, “Any other ssmates fans of mine? I can sign a few more for you.”


    Hensonughed and yfully tickled her, “Everyone knew but me! I was so excited to tell Hans, but he


    said he already knew!”


    Estelle, ticklish and backing away, tried to exin betweenughs, “There’s a reason he knew, really!”


    Henson paused, “I’m not as forgiving as my uncle. If you hide things from me again, I’ll.”


    “You’ll do what?” Estelle asked, stillughing.


    “I’ll flunk my next test on purpose. See if that embarrasses you!”


    “I wonder who’d be more embarrassed!”


    “You dare to argue with me!” Henson eximed, pretending to be angry.


    “Of course not! I’m the teacher, and I’d be more embarrassed!” Estelleughed till she was teary–


    eyed.


    Henson grunted and took a box out of his drawer, “Here’s a gift from Hans and me.”
