Chapter 1726
After class, Estelle headed upstairs to find Jonathan.
She knocked and entered to find Jonathan behind his desk by the window, reading a book. He smiled when Estelle
entered. “Why bother knocking? Don’t treat yourself like a stranger.”
Estelle placed a bowl of soup on his desk. Her delicate eyes softened. “Your mom sent this for you. Have some.”
Jonathan chuckled, “Mom’s intention is for you to stay healthy so you can give her a grandchild soon. If she knew
that all these nourishing soups she made are being gulped down by me, she’d probably be so mad.”
Estelle replied, “No, she wouldn’t. I’m the one letting you have it, so she’d be mad at me.”
Jonathan took her hand and pulled her onto his lap, his hands wrapped around her slender waist. “She wouldn’t
dare vent her anger on you. She’d take it out on me.”

Jonathan frowned and asked, “Do I have to? I don’t really enjoy soups.”
“How about I feed you?” Estelle raised an eyebrow, her clear eyes carrying a hint of playfulness.
Jonathan’s eyes darkened, saying meaningfully, “And how would you feed me?”
Estelle blinked and said, “The way you’re thinking!”
Jonathan swallowed hard, his gaze intense. “Well, what are we waiting for?”
Estelle’s lips curled up into a smile as she scooped up some soup and held it to his lips, coaxing him, “Open up.”
Jonathan looked at her with deep, playful eyes, leaning back in his chair. “Is this what you had in mind?”
Estelle tilted her head, “Isn’t it?”
Jonathan’s eyes held a mock resentment and a hint of disappointment.
Estelle laughed, feeding herself some soup before leaning in, pressing her lips onto his.
The soup melted in their mouths. After a few swallows, Jonathan set the bowl on the table, then cradled her face,
pulling her closer against his chest, kissing her with focused tenderness.
Estelle half-closed her eyes lazily like a cat, charming and unaware, making it harder for Jonathan to control
himself.
Jonathan kissed her chin, and Estelle stopped him, her eyes soft, her voice gentle, “Will you promise me
something?”
Jonathan looked up, his eyes full of affection, “Hmm?”
“Promise me first!” Estelle insisted.
If she asked for his life in this tone and with those eyes, he wouldn’t hesitate. “Alright, say it!”
“On Monday, Henson is attending a parent-teacher meeting. Could you go?” Estelle asked.
Jonathan was speechless.

Estelle put her arms around his neck and asked, “So, will you go?”
“I will!” Jonathan kissed her nose gently, his voice full of adoration, “Is there anything you could ask of me that I
wouldn’t do?”
Estelle smiled and leaned in to kiss him.
Suddenly, Estelle’s phone vibrated. She paused and glanced at it. It was from Magdalen.
Jonathan grabbed the phone and held it to Estelle’s ear. Magdalen’s delightful voice came through, “Hey, beauty,
are you done with class? Let’s have lunch. I’ll take you out!”
Before Estelle could respond, Jonathan interjected, “She’s not going!”
The time they spent together had significantly reduced since Estelle joined the film crew. The weekend was the only
time that was exclusively his.
Moreover, Magdalen might take her to a bar for drinks with Ella.
Magdalen paused, then complained, “Jonathan, Ella was my friend first. Know your place!”
Jonathan was unfazed, “True. She’s been with you for so many years. That’s enough!”
Magdalen softened her tone to negotiate, “She’s with you in the evening, so let her be with me during the day!”
