Chapter 2070
Catherine clung to Estelle''s hand with a look of concern etched on her face. "My dear, have you lost weight? Don''t mind the
nonsense spewed online, let Jonathan handle it!"
Estelle touched her cheek, trying to reassure her. "No, it''s just been a while since you''ve seen me. That''s all!"
"I''ll have you stay home for a few days so we can fatten you up properly!"N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Magdalen, with a glint in her eye, chimed in yfully, "Mrs. Lamont, E just got back. We haven''t had enough time to catch up
with her. How about you lend her to us for a few days before she''s all yours again?"
Catherineughed heartily, "Alright, but she''s staying at home tonight. When she''s out with you all, make sure to take good care
of her!"
"Don''t worry, I''d dly trade the couple of pounds I''ve put on these past days for E''s benefit!"
Magdalen''s quick wit sent Catherine into a fit ofughter.
Nearby, Emily epted a cup of tea from the servant and passed it to Aimee. "Did Estelle really go to C City?"
And why did Old Mr. Jarvise to J City to pick her up?
Aimee took a sip and spoke cryptically, "Let''s just say she went to C City. Some things are better left unsaid.”
Emily nodded in understanding, "I know Estelle''s got her secrets. As long as you''re all safe, that''s what matters."
“With Mr. Lamont by her side, there''s nothing to worry about," Aimee assured her.
"Good."
Estelle stood up, addressing Charlie, "You''ve just returned as well. Take Emily home to check on Kya. I''m fine here.”
Charlie nodded, then turned to Jonathan with a serious tone. "The Crawley family is finished, but if you''re hesitant to deal with
the Macin family, I''ll step in."
After all, they were Estelle''s biological parents, and he didn''t want Jonathan caught in a tough spot.
Jonathan''s expression was steely. "There''s no hesitation. Come morning, I''ll have them begging E for mercy."
"You''re ruthless," Charlie chuckled, then added, "Emily and | will head out. If anythinges up, give us a call."
"Be careful on the road," Jonathan said with a nod.
While Charlie and Emily went to check on Kya, the rest of the group lingered at the Lamont estate, awaiting news from B City.
Compared to the situation in B City, the Macin family was insignificant, easily crushed at any moment.
The servants prepared ate-night snack, and both Old Mr. Jarvis and Old Mr. Quintin enjoyed a bowl of soup. Jonathan had the
kitchen make a low-sugar cake for Estelle, and everyone gathered around, munching and eagerly asking about her recent
escapades.
Norah, however, was distracted, her gaze often drifting towards Xavier.
Unable to resist, she fetched a bowl of soup from the kitchen and approached Xavier. Pausing for just a moment, she offered it
casually, "Have some soup.”
Xavier looked up, nodding with a muted thanks.
"No need."
With formalities exhausted, Norah left quietly, lips pursed.
Xavier didn''t touch the soup, standing up instead to go outside for a cigarette.

"Huh?" Gabriel looked surprised.
“Her name''s Norah Lamont, Jonathan''s brother''s daughter," Xavier stated calmly.
Gabriel let out a snort, "What a small world!"
The cigarette in Xavier''s hand flickered as he added, "Which is exactly why there''s no chance for us."
"That''s a real shame," Gabriel remarked.
