Estelle raised an eyebrow, “Everyone thinks he’s a real go-getter. Don’t you think that’s a good thing?”

Jonathan replied, “There’s a difference between being driven and being obsessed. I think he’s crossed the line. He’s got ambition, sure, but it’s all about the endgame with him. His feelings for Sophia don’t hold a candle to his career aspirations. That kind of guy might make it big, but he’s no Prince Charming for Sophia.”

Estelle pondered for a moment, “Magdalen said something along those lines, too.”

But Sophia was head over heels for Robin, and perhaps that was why their relationship was so lopsided from the get-go.

The one who fell in love first always paid a steeper price.

Jonathan’s lips curled into a smirk, “Our two cents won’t change a thing. It’s up to Sophia. If she doesn’t mind and actually digs his ‘ambitious spirit,’ then who are we to judge?”

“I think that’s exactly how Sophia sees it.”

“We can’t meddle in matters of the heart, even if you’re best buds with Sophia.” Jonathan wrapped his arms around her, “Let’s hit the hay. Stop worrying about it.”

Estelle yawned and snuggled into his embrace, whispering, “Wake me if Sophia needs anything.”
