Chapter 173
“Uncle?” Norah exclaimed in surprise, “Have you seen Estelle?”
Jonathan replied calmly, “I think she went to the garden.”
“Oh, then I’ll go find her in the garden.” Norah said and quickly walked away.
Estelle frowned, “What do we do now?”
“I’ll take you to the garden.” The man smiled without any sign of worry.
“How?” Estelle was astonished. Was there a secret passage in this villa?
Soon she realized she was overthinking. She watched as Jonathan walked to the window, opened it,
and said to her, “Jump down, and you’ll be in the garden.”
Estelle, “…”
The first floor of the villa was very high, and the second floor was higher. This wasn’t a problem for her,
but was she supposed to jump in front of him?
Did he know something? novelbin
Jonathan saw her daydreaming and couldn’t help but laugh. He waved her over and said, “Come on.”
Estelle walked over, and Jonathan smiled and said, “I’ll jump first, then I’ll catch you below. Do you
dare to jump?”
Estelle looked at him, “Are you joking?”
“No.” Jonathan’s voice was steady, but there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. “Do you dare?”
Estelle nodded, “of course!”
Jonathan leaned over and kissed her cheek, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t let you get hurt, and it’ll be fun.”
Estelle’s long eyelashes fluttered, her eyes instantly deepened, and time seemed to rewind as she
looked at the man in front of her.
Jonathan pushed the window open, looked back at her, and jumped down.
Estelle immediately stepped forward and looked down.
The man spun gracefully downward, his toes touching the windowsill of the first floor, and he landed
firmly on the ground.
Soon, he raised his head and stretched out his arms.
She heard him shout, “Baby, jump down.”
Estelle’s gaze softened, and she laughed unconsciously. Seeing no one around, she didn’t hesitate to
leap towards the man.
The wind blew past her ears, and she even had time to look at the clusters of blooming flowers in the
distance, so vibrant and colorful… With a thud, she landed in his arms, and his strong arms wrapped
tightly around her waist, holding her close to his chest.
They embraced each other, looking into each other’s eyes and laughing silently.
Estelle’s eyes twinkled with mischief, like a child who had stolen a piece of candy.
Jonathan felt a tingling sensation in his heart, like an ant biting at him. That slight itch spread through
his limbs, and his eyes deepened as he lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Estelle had just closed her eyes when she heard Norah calling her name.
She hurriedly jumped down from Jonathan’s arms and said, “I have to go now. How are you going
back?”
“I’ll go in from the first floor. Don’t worry, I have the key to the study.” The man smiled warmly, his eyes
shining.
Estelle nodded, waved at him, and ran towards Norah’s direction. Fortunately, the Lamont family’s
garden was huge, with a large glass greenhouse in the center and plants of varying heights
surrounding it, effectively hiding her figure.
Jonathan stood there, watching Estelle’s figure disappear completely. He smiled and turned towards
the front yard.
He hadn’t noticed it earlier, but only now did he realize the absurdity of their actions moments ago. This
long–lost feeling made him feel particularly happy!
