Chapter 6

Without lifting his head, Jonathan was speed reading the documents in his hand, looking all high and mighty and cold, totally unapproachable

Norah laughed and said, ‘Estelle, are you here to be a tutor?”

She knew Estelle lived in the poorer eastern suburbs, and here was the rich area, so she naturally assumed Estelle was here to make some extra cash as a private tutor

Estelle smiled faintly, “Good thing I ran into you”

How did she forget that Norah was Jonathan’s niece?

They hadn’t seen each other in almost three years, and now they’d run into each other three times in one week. Estelle thought to herself, did Cupid just remember her?

Norah turned to introduce Estelle, “This is my young uncle!”

Estelle pretended she didn’t know already, and nodded, “Mr. Lamont!”

Hearing a familiar voice, Jonathan’s gaze shifted and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Estelle clutched the umbrella handle, her heart in turmoil, thinking about how he might know she was a student at University of J City at most, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

Norah, who was naturally warm and friendly, initiated a conversation with Estelle, “Is Brooke chasing after Saul?”

Remembering what happened yesterday, Estelle’s eyes turned cold and she casually replied, “Seems so!”

Norah laughed mockingly, “The whole school knows Saul has liked you for three years, you two are so close! How could Saul ever take a liking to Brooke?”

Instinctively. Estelle glanced at Jonathan and smiled, “Saul and I are just classmates. It’s none of my business who he gets together with.”

Norah gave her a look that seemed to say ‘yeah, right, like I buy it, and Estelle felt wronged. Whether her marriage was by agreement or not, she was still married now!

When they got back to the city, there was a traffic jam due to an accident. Norah covered her stomach and said, “When will this road open up? I’m hungry. Why don’t we go grab something to eat?”

“I’ll just get off here and go
