Chapter 288
On Saturday, Jonathan asked Estelle what she was doing today before going out.
Estelle replied casually, “A classmate’s grandma is having a birthday, so I’m going to join the fun.”
Jonathan gave her a glance, smiling, “Are you joining the fun or just going for the free cake?”
Estelle shrugged, “Why not both?”
Jonathan laughed, with a hint of indulgence in his expression. “Where does your classmate live? I’ll hav
e Millard drive you there!”
“No need, I’ll just take a cab!” Estelle said, waving her hand at him. “You
still have to go to H City today, so you should get going now!”
“Alright, I’ll pick you up at the Midnight Bar tonight. Be good!” Jonathan pinched her chin, kissed her lip
s, and left.
Millard had informed Jonathan in advance that he would be sending gifts in the name of Cathrine to Eli
zabeth’s birthday celebration. Jonathan didn’t mind and went to H City with Brooks.
Estelle arrived at the Macclain family villa around nine. The inside and outside of the villa were decorat
ed.
A servant led Estelle to the living room.
It was still early, and guests hadn’t arrived yet, but the Macclain family was already gathered in the livin
g room, chatting and laughing around
Elizabeth.
When Estelle entered, she saw Elizabeth in a dark red long dress sitting in the middle of the sofa, with
Sabina and Carmella nearest to her. The room was bustling and lively.
Simone saw Estelle and awkwardly turned her head away, pretending not to see her.
Out of everyone, only Hans stood up and happily said, “Ella, you’re here!”
Leonie glared at her son and hissed, “Sit down!”
The others in the living room continued to chat and laugh as if they hadn’t seen Estelle at all.
Bennett approached and gently smiled, “Estelle, go give grandma your birthday wishes!”
Estelle stepped forward, handing over the gift she prepared, “Happy birthday, grandma!”
Elizabeth was in a good mood, and her
smile held a touch of politeness. “You didn’t have to buy me anything, just being here is enough!”
She took Estelle’s gift and, without looking at it, she placed it on the pile of various other gift boxes.
Bennett hurriedly said, “Mom, Estelle bought this gift with the money she earned from her part–
time job. She put a lot of thoughts into it. Please take a look.”
“Really?” Elizabeth laughed, looking at Estelle. “You’re working too? What kind of job did you find?”
Natalia also looked over, grinning, “Estelle is still in college, right? Where do you do your internship?”
Estelle pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. Bennett urged
her, “Tell grandma and aunt what kind of job you found.”
Estelle finally spoke, “I’m a waitress at Midnight Bar.”
The moment her words fell, the room went silent. Even Terrence, who was drinking tea, looked towards
Estelle with a cold expression.novelbin
Corley and Stanley Macclain showed surprise, scanning Estelle from head to toe with sneering smiles.
Bennett was also stunned, asking Estelle in a low voice, “Weren’t you tutoring? When did you go
to Midnight Bar?”
