Chapter 1292

An hour later, Estelle came running over, huffing and puffing, taking a sip of water Her ponytail had

come loose from the intense activities, so she just yanked off the hairband, and her raven hair

cascaded down like a waterfall

Jonathan gently guided Estelle to sit down and began to reaminge her disheveled hair

With sweat on her brow, Estelle’s fair face looked even paler Glancing up, the asked, Can you even

style hair?”

She recalled that not only could Jonathan manage hair, he was skilled at braiding too

As he worked, Jonathan took note of Estelle’s black satin hairband embroidered with the golden GK

Jewelry studio logo. He carefully combed though her hair, not perfecting it on his first try but

succeeding the second time. With a soft chuckle, he said. 7 could style your hair daily if you’d like

Moved by his gesture, Estelle leaned back and took a long drink of water

Seeing her relaxed, Jonathan remarked. “After spending all afternoon out here, we should probably

head back”

Estelle, eager to stay, countered. Td like to spend more time with Henson, make his day better”

But as she tried to stand, Jonathan gently but firmly held her back, a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Tve treated you well too, don’t i deserve some gratitude?” Estelle turned to look at him, raining an

eyebrow, whispering ‘Aren’t you supposed to?

Jonathan was taken aback, then his eyes sparkled brightly, he pursed his lips slightly, his gazenovelbin

softening. “Alright, half an hour more, it’s getting dark

“Mm” Estelle agreed vaguely, then continued playing ball with Henson

When they left the gym. It was already evening Millard was waiting outside in another car

Jonathan, holding Estelle’s hand, walked towards his car, then instructed Henson, “You ride with

Millard”

Henson snorted, “Just gonna ditch me like that?”

Jonathan scoffed. “What more do you want after a whole afternoon?”

Estelle suggested, “Shall we all have dinner together?”

Before the could finish, Jonathan had already opened the passenger door and put her in.

Henson sighed, well, if he pissed Jonathan off, he wouldn’t have good days ahead. He waved at them,

then got into Millard’s car

Sitting in the car, Estelle frowned. Did we go too far? No one’s home, we should keep Henson

company”

Driving with one hand, Jonathan chuckled. Don’t worry, Henson’s used to being left at home by his

parents since he was little. He’s tougher and more mature than mor kids”

He tumed to look at Estelle, “You grew up without parents, your life was even harder Plus, he’s a boy,

he doesn’t need to be pampered”

Estelle smiled, “It’s not the same, everyone needs company if they can get it.”

Jonathan held her hand, his gaze intense, 7 need your company more now”

Estelles heart pounded under his burning gaze, she quietly looked away

On their way back to the city. Estelle got a call from Emily

After hanging up. Estelle turned to Jonathan, “Emily invited us for dinner.”

Jonathan originally planned to have dinner alone with Estelle, but knowing how much she enjoyed

playing with Kya at Emily’s, he didn’t argue.

They picked up some fruit on their way home

As soon as they walked in, Emily poked her head out of the kitchen, “Dinner’s almost ready”

Kya tan over, asking innocently “Estelle, where’ve you been?”

Estelle picked her up, “Did you miss me?”

mussed you” Kya smiled, pure and adorable

Seeing all the food Emily had prepared, Jonathan chuckled. “I’ll call Charlie, invite him over tool

“No” Emily suddenly cut in. “Don’t call Mr. James ”

Jonathan’s gaze darkened. He nodded lightly, “Alright, he probably has plans tonight. We’ll invite him

some other time.”
