Chapter 2011


    Jonathan chuckled lightly, "Just because you''re the first one I''ve brought here, they naturally assume


    you''re mydy!"


    He paused mid-step and turned to look at Estelle, "Whether I''m Mr. Lamont or Alvis, you’re my one and


    only!"


    Estelle gazed back at him, "Did you used to dislike women?"


    Jonathan fell silent for a moment.


    Sweeping her up in his arms, he strode across the opulent and artistically adorned living room,


    grinning, "Hungry? If not, let me prove to you right now just how much I do like women—my woman, to


    be precise!"


    Estelle deftly flipped within his embrace, her legs wrapping around his waist and her arms slung over


    his shoulders, she said, "No need to prove anything. The sun is shining so beautifully; let''s just sit on


    thewn for a while."


    Jonathan nced through the patio doors at the sprawlingwn and nodded, "Alright, today is all about


    what you want, everything on your terms!"


    He didn''t set her down but carried her through a side door, heading straight for the lush greenery.


    The maid who had greeted Estelle earlier had instructed the other servants toy out a sweet-tasting


    lunch on thewn, apparently, Jonathan had made arrangements in advance.


    A cat sauntered over, and Estelle ced a few slices of fish from a te onto the grass for it.


    The plump white feline, unafraid of humans, meowed at Estelle a few times before joyfully starting its


    meal.


    Jonathan approached, smiling faintly, "If you like cats, we could get one for the Vi del Sol when we


    get back."


    Estelle shook her head, "I''m not particrly fond of them; Max and Milo are more than enough for me."


    She looked up at the man towering over her, "Did you bring me here because this ce reminds you of


    Vi del Sol?"


    "Not entirely," Jonathan crouched down to stroke her hair, his gaze filled with affection, "I just wanted to


    spend a day alone with you, to have you all to myself on your birthday."


    Estelle’s eyes were clear, "I will always be entirely yours."


    In that moment, Jonathan''s eyes darkened, and his throat moved with emotion, "How about we


    continue this conversation somewhere more private?"


    Her smile blossomed, mischief twinkling in her eyes, "No, I want to keep feeding the cat."


    So Jonathan sat down beside her on thewn, and they chatted andughed softly, as if they were


    miles away from Zion, back to the ease andfort of their old lives.


    A car rolled up the driveway. Jonathan kissed Estelle’s cheek, "y by yourself for a bit; I''ll be right


    back."


    "Okay," Estelle nodded.


    Jonathan stood and walked towards the newly arrived vehicle.


    Estelle nced at him before lying back on the grass, gazing up at the azure sky.


    The white Persian cat hopped onto her legs,id down, and curiously peered at her with its bright blue


    eyes.


    The man''s rugged features softened slightly in the sunlight as he asked, "Where''s Estelle?"

    "She''s in the garden, unaware of your arrival," Jonathan replied.


    "Let’s keep it that way then. She''ll find out in a few days!"


    "Please,e inside!" Co?tent of Dr?manovеls


    "She''s worried about you, and she also took on the Eagle Valley assignment," Jonathan said.


    Jonathan raised an eyebrow, "Do you suspect someone deliberately drew you both here?"
