Chapter 1726


    After ss, Estelle headed upstairs to find Jonathan.


    She knocked and entered to find Jonathan behind his desk by the window, reading a book. He smiled


    when Estelle entered. “Why bother knocking? Don''t treat yourself like a stranger."


    Estelle ced a bowl of soup on his desk. Her delicate eyes softened. "Your mom sent this for you.


    Have some."


    Jonathan chuckled, “Mom''s intention is for you to stay healthy so you can give her a grandchild soon. If


    she knew that all these nourishing soups she made are being gulped down by me, she''d probably be


    so mad."


    Estelle replied, "No, she wouldn''t. I’m the one letting you have it, so she''d be mad at me."


    Jonathan took her hand and pulled her onto hisp, his hands wrapped around her slender waist. “She


    wouldn''t dare vent her anger on you. She''d take it out on me."


    “Have your soup first!" Estelle nudged the bowl toward him.


    Jonathan frowned and asked, "Do I have to? I don''t really enjoy soups."


    “How about I feed you?" Estelle raised an eyebrow, her clear eyes carrying a hint of yfulness.


    Jonathan''s eyes darkened, saying meaningfully, "And how would you feed me?"


    Estelle blinked and said, "The way you''re thinking!"


    Jonathan swallowed hard, his gaze intense. “Well, what are we waiting for?"


    Estelle''s lips curled up into a smile as she scooped up some soup and held it to his lips, coaxing him,


    “Open up."


    Jonathan looked at her with deep, yful eyes, leaning back in his chair. "Is this what you had in


    mind?"


    Estelle tilted her head, "Isn''t it?"


    Jonathan''s eyes held a mock resentment and a hint of disappointment.


    Estelleughed, feeding herself some soup before leaning in, pressing her lips onto his.


    The soup melted in their mouths. After a few swallows, Jonathan set the bowl on the table, then


    cradled her face, pulling her closer against his chest, kissing her with focused tenderness.


    Estelle half-closed her eyeszily like a cat, charming and unaware, making it harder for Jonathan to


    control himself.


    Jonathan kissed her chin, and Estelle stopped him, her eyes soft, her voice gentle, "Will you promise


    me something?"


    Jonathan looked up, his eyes full of affection, "Hmm?"


    “Promise me first!" Estelle insisted.


    If she asked for his life in this tone and with those eyes, he wouldn''t hesitate. "Alright, say it!"


    "On Monday, Henson is attending a parent-teacher meeting. Could you go?" Estelle asked.


    Jonathan was speechless.


    He couldn''t helpughing, "So all this pampering was for this?"


    Estelle put her arms around his neck and asked, "So, will you go?"


    “I will!" Jonathan kissed her nose gently, his voice full of adoration, "Is there anything you could ask of


    me that I wouldn''t do?"


    Estelle smiled and leaned in to kiss him.


    Suddenly, Estelle''s phone vibrated. She paused and nced at it. It was from Magdalen.


    Jonathan grabbed the phone and held it to Estelle''s ear. Magdalen’s delightful voice came through,


    “Hey, beauty, are you done with ss? Let''s have lunch. I''ll take you out!"

    Before Estelle could respond, Jonathan interjected, “She''s not going!"


    The time they spent together had significantly reduced since Estelle joined the film crew. The weekend


    was the only time that was exclusively his.


    Moreover, Magdalen might take her to a bar for drinks with E.


    Magdalen paused, thenined, "Jonathan, E was my friend first. Know your ce!"


    Jonathan was unfazed, "True. She''s been with you for so many years. That''s enough!"


    Magdalen softened her tone to negotiate, "She''s with you in the evening, so let her be with me during


    the day!"
