Estelle eyed Old Mr. Jarvis with concern. "I noticed you were coughing during our video call yesterday. Have you taken any medication?" "It's just a chill I caught. Dr. Green checked me out; it's nothing serious," Old Mr. Jarvis chuckled. "So, your friend's wedding is over?"

"Yes, and your gift was very much appreciated. My friend sends his thanks through me," Estelle replied with a smile.

"No need for formalities between us," Old Mr. Jarvis laughed before turning to Jonathan. "You're here early this year too, trying to keep Estelle company, I presume?"

Jonathan smiled warmly. "Not really. The end of the year is always packed with social obligations. Coming back early gives me a chance to enjoy some peace and quiet. So, it's not just for Estelle; I'm benefiting from her company too."

Old Mr. Jarvis's smile grew deeper, nodding in approval. "Good, good!"

Gabriel and Jonathan were walking side by side when Gabriel suddenly said, "I've always wondered how you managed to win over Estelle, and now it seems I have my answer."

Jonathan's expression remained calm. "I'm just being honest."

"I believe you!" Gabriel nodded.

Jonathan smirked. "How do you find staying at home?"
