Chapter 1608
By the time they arrived at the Fairview Hotel, the day was almost dark.
As they entered the courtyard, a waiter led them in, passing through a crescent moon-shape gate,
Magdalen was sitting in a pavilion across from them, waving to Estelle, “Ella, over here!”
Jonathan released Estelle’s hand, and said softly, “Go and chat with Magdalen. I’m going over to the
Sylvan Savories. I’ll come find you later.”
“Okay!” Estelle nodded.
“The pastries at the Fairview Hotel are excellent. I’ve arranged for you to try each one. If you like any,
we can pack some in gift boxes for Grandpa.” Jonathan told her gently, then he leaned down to kiss
Estelle on the cheek, “The staff here will recommend their homemade plum wine, you can try a little,
but just be cautious; it’s strong. Don’t get drunk.”
The nearby waiter, noticing Jonathan’s handsome appearance and elegant demeanor, couldn’t help but
look at Estelle with admiration,
Feeling awkward under the waiter’s gaze, Estelle pushed Jonathan away, “I got it, I’m going to find
Magdalen!”
“Go ahead!” Jonathan released her and watched her as walked away. Then, he turned towards Sylvan
Savories.
Estelle crossed the winding wooden bridge. Magdalen’s resplendent in her red dress, was sitting in a
wicker chair, teasing her, “It’s not like you’re parting forever, why such long goodbyes?”
Estelle gracefully hopped onto a wooden pier, and leaned against a pillar, giving her a glance, “I like it!”
Jonathan had chosen a full-length dress for Estelle. At the moment, the gown cascaded from the
ornate wooden pier. It created a graceful curve as it flowed with her leg’s movements. Coupled with her
own naturally aloof demeanor, she presented an image of timeless beauty under the moonlight.
Magdalen took a grape into her mouth, sighing, “When I think back to how Jonathan used to be so
arrogant, and now he’s completely submissive to you, it’s hard to believe it’s the same person, Ella,
you’re amazing!”
Estelle turned to look at the reflections of the trees on the river surface, ignoring her teasing. She
asked, “Why did you choose to meet here?”
“Not my idea. Do I look like someone who appreciates the finer things?” Magdalen laughed, pointing to
the items on the wooden table, “My mom sent these for you, and for Old Mr. Jarvis. You can take them
with you when you return to C City for Thanksgiving.”
“Jonathan has bought plenty already, and there are also others’ gifts. They are piled up in the
warehouse like antiques.” Estelle replied.
“I don’t care. This is a task from Mrs. Sampson, and I just need to complete it!”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang. It was Kevin calling her, “Magdalen, haven’t you arrived
yet?”
“I’m here, I’ll be right there”
Magdalen hung up the call and stood up, “Let’s go, someone’s getting impatient.”
Estelle leaned against the pillar, her brows slightly furrowed, “That Kevin again?”
“Yes, he’s quite adorable.” Magdalen said.
Estelle jumped down from the pier and followed Magdalen out.
A waitress came over and Magdalen asked her to keep the items she brought temporarily, and send
them to Jonathan later.
There was an ancient pavilion in front of them. Magdalen led Estelle up to the third floor of the pavilion.
Kevin turned around upon hearing the door open, his smile faltering slightly at the sight of Estelle, but
quickly recovered, “Estelle, you’re here too!” novelbin
Today, Kevin wasn’t wearing casual clothes but a white shirt and black vest, gibing him a look of a
handsome young man from a wealthy family.
Estelle spoke softly, “Mr. Kevin.”
Kevin grinned, “Please don’t call me Mr. Kevin, just like Magdalen, you can call me Kevin.”
They all took their seats, Kevin handed the menu to Magdalen, “You know Estelle’s taste, so you can
order!”
“Okay” Magdalen took the menu to place their orders.
The pavilion overlooked a lotus pond, with a gentle fragrance wafted up on the breeze Carved windows
and light gauze screens created charming atmosphere
Kevin laughed, “I came here with friends a couple days ago. I thought the environment was nice, and
the food was good. So, I specially invited you over to try it”
