Chapter 1644


    Bet called and asked her toe home for the holidays.


    He was earnest and exined that Carme had undergone some counseling and had shown remorse


    for her past actions. She sincerely acknowledged her mistakes and hoped Estelle would return home.


    Estelle’s expression were cool, and a hint of mockery yed on her lips, 1f Carme doesn’t want me


    toe home, I can’t go back, right?”


    Bet was taken aback for a moment and quickly responded, “Of course not. What I meant was that


    we can all live happily together as a family. Both you and Carme are our daughters, and you can


    be close sisters”


    “No, thanks. Simone has publicly stated that I’m just your adopted daughter and that everything about


    me has nothing to do with you. It’s better for you three to live together as a family”


    Estelle’s tone was indifferent. She hung up the phone and turned to find Jonathan standing behind her.


    “Nothing’s important! The icy look in Estelle’s eyes melted as soon as she locked eyes with him.


    “Alright!” Jonathan approached and held her hand, leading her back to continue their meal.


    By the end of the meal, Kya and Mr. Jarvis had became friendly When Mr. Jarvis showed Kya the pond


    full of fishes, Kya was so delighted that she refused to take a nap, insisting on fishing with Mr. Jarvis.


    The man and the little girl sat by the pond, chatting andughing without anymunication barriers.


    Emily sat on a wooden bench on the corridor, and her dimples made a fleeting appearance as she


    Since arriving at the Jarvis estate, she had been constantly surprised. She had thought that Estelle had


    been adopted by a lonely old man and brought up in seclusion inthe mountains. However, she was


    astonished to discover that it was, in fact, the Jarvis family who had adopted Estelle.


    They sat in the courtyard, facing a pond full of lotus flowers, and behind them was a bamboo corridor. A


    gentle breeze stirred the air, creating a tranquil andfortable atmosphere.


    She mapred in architectural design, and she couldn’t help but admire theyout of the scenery


    Acourtyard like this would probably cost a fortune, far beyond at least ny million dors.


    Estelle poured Emily a cup of tea and chuckled lightly, “Being adopted by grandpa is indeed my


    fortune!”


    If she hadn’t been adopted, perhaps she have died in that orphanage.


    Emily took a sip of the coffee and asked “Do your parents know you were adopted by the Jarvis family


    in C City?” Estelle leanedzily against the pir, “They don’t.”


    Emily asked, “Then why did you leave the Jarvis family to go back to the Macin family?”


    One Jarvis family was worth more than ten Macin families, no to mention how the Macins treated


    Estelle Estelle, with her picturesque features, gazed at the shimmering light on the lotus pond,


    “Because of Jonathan.” Emily’s eyes widened slightly, and it took a moment for her to understand. She


    chuckled, “So that’s the reason!” Emilly propped her cheeks with her hands and smiled softly, “Estelle,


    you’re really amazing


    Estelle raised


    an eyebrow, “What about you? Will you be brave enough for Charlie?”


    Emily’sshes quivered, and she gently traced the pattern on the cup with her fingertips, “My situation


    is the same as yours!”


    “At the beginning, there was a great distance between Jonathan and me. He didn’t even remember me


    and was very resistant to the arranged marriage with the Macin family. But we ended up together.


    Your situation with Charlie is much better than ours was at the start, at least you two have affection for


    each other. If there’s affection, why can’t you be together?” Estelle said slowly


    Emily shook her head, “The difference is that, between you and Jonathan, there was only ack of


    love. With love, the distance between you two grew shorter. In my case with Charlie, there are too


    manyplications and obstacles beyond love. Bravery can’t bring us closer. When we get together,


    these things will surface one by one, pushing us further apart


    Estelle furrowed her brows slightly, “But you have Kya*

    “But Kya is all I have. If Charlie’s family takes Kya away from me, I’ll have nothing left Emily looked up


    at Estelle, “By the way, I’ve already resigned from the James family *


    Estelle was surprised “Because of the bidding?”
