Chapter 58

The next day, Estelle woke up to find the sun already up and Jonathan nowhere to be found. She was alone in the bed.

As she got out of bed to get some clothes, her thigh trembled and she almost lost her balance. She let out a soft sigh, reminiscent of when she first started intense training.

She thought Jonathan had already left until she opened the door to find him sitting on the balcony with a cup of coffee, staring at his computer screen.

Dressed casually, Jonathan looked as handsome and distinguished as ever, even more so than the day before.

Upon hearing her, Jonathan looked up and Estelle greeted him with a smile, “Good morning, Mr. Lamont!”

Only after speaking did she realize her voice sounded a little hoarse, making her cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

Jonathan’s expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of noticing her discomfort. “I ordered breakfast. You should freshen up and then join me,” he said calmly.

Checking the time, Estelle realized it was almost nine o’clock. “Thank you, but I have to go. I’m already running late for Henson’s lesson.”

She hadn’t expected to sleep so soundly.

“Don’t worry!” said Jonathan. “I already called Henson and told him you had to take some time off. You can go two hours later.”

“You already called him?” asked Estelle, surprised.

“Yes. Is there a problem?”

“No, thank you!” she replied with a smile.

The breakfast spread was lavish, with meal boxes from a nearby five-star hotel.

Jonathan placed a bowl of chicken soup in front of her. “This is for you.”

Estelle shook her head and pushed it back.
