Chapter 2549

Magdalen climbed into the car and immediately called Estelle. The phone rang until it was nearly about to go to voicemail before Estelle finally picked up. "What is it?"

Magdalen sounded frustrated. "I got so caught up in things that I completely lost track of time. I didn't interrupt you and Jonathan, did I?"

Estelle's voice was a little hoarse. "Just tell me what's going on."

Magdalen couldn't help laughing, but after the chuckle, worry crept across her face. “I just ran into Sylvia outside 9th Mansion. She was with Mr. Winters, and they looked pretty close."

Estelle and Magdalen knew each other too well; she immediately understood what Magdalen was getting at. Her tone grew more serious. "Magdalen, Sylvia has every right to choose who she wants to be with."

Magdalen sighed, regretful. "You're right. I get it."

Estelle asked, "You didn't give Sylvia, or Mr. Winters, a hard time, did you?"

"Of course not Sylvia, but I was a bit prejudiced. I guess I blamed Eugene for coming between her and Gab, so I was a little cold to him," Magdalen admitted honestly.

Estelle's voice was quiet. "Don't do that next time. Don't put Sylvia in a tough spot."
