Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)

Chapter 2311



"Come on, it's New Year's. Let's let the vendors finish up and head home early," Gabriel said.

Sylvia took a red rose, sniffed it gently, and looked down with a nonchalant expression. "So, you're just being considerate. Here I was, thinking it was something more!"

It was the first time Gabriel saw her slightly annoyed, yet he found it rather charming.

He leaned against the car, his gaze deep and intense. "I'm not sure if I'd feel sorry for a stranger, but one thing's for sure: I wouldn't be buying flowers if it weren't for you."

Sylvia, caught between the man and the car with a basket of flowers in hand, looked up in surprise.

Gabriel gazed into her eyes, gently took the hand that held the flowers, and leaned in to kiss her.

Sylvia was taken aback for a moment but soon closed her eyes and returned the kiss.

He

gave her the kiss that had been left unfinished before.

When they got back in the car, Sylvia's mood had visibly improved. She held a basket full of red roses, her beautiful face glowing even more radiantly. After a two-hour drive, they reached The Green.

The Green was another estate belonging to the Jarvis family, located in a historic town north of C City. It boasted a library, a private garden, and a mansion with a blend of Western styles, sprawling over a vast area. It was where the Jarvis family occasionally entertained guests.

They arrived at around four in the afternoon. Ansel, hearing of Gabriel's visit, was waiting outside with his daughter, Ann Flairs.

Seeing the car approach, Ann's face lit up with a smile. "Daddy, Gabriel's here!"

Ansel greeted them with a broad smile as the car drew nearer.

But when the car stopped, Ansel's smile deepened, though he noticed there was a woman with them.

Gabriel walked over, took the basket of flowers from her, and handed it to a servant with instructions to take it to his room.

After the servant left, Gabriel,

holding the woman's hand, made his

way over, making their relationship quite apparent to any observant onlooker.

Ann's smile slowly faded as she watched their intertwined hands.

"Gab!" Ansel greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Flair!" Gabriel nodded politely. "Welcome to C City!"

Ansel nodded back. "I was planning to visit Old Mr. Jarvis at home, but he mentioned that this year was a bit special, so it's just as weltwe stay here temporarily." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

He laughed joyfully. "It's been years, Gab. I mainly came for you. Seeing you makes this trip worthwhile!"

Gabriel replied softly, "Grandfather's concerns are also for Mr. Flair's sake."

Ansel quickly responded, "Yes, I understand. I appreciate Old Mr. Jarvis's thorough consideration."

After saying this, he turned to Sylvia. "And who might this lady be?"

Gabriel introduced her, "My girlfriend, Sylvia."

Sylvia, dressed in a long coat with her hair neatly tied back, looked stunningly beautiful and poised.

"Mr. Flair, Happy New Year!" she greeted.

Hearing Gabriel confirm their

neve

relationship, Ansel's heart sank, but he managed to keep a smile on his face "Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Sylvia."

Gabriel then looked at Ann. "Ann's here too. You've graduated, right?"

Ann, who had been looking down, immediately looked up at Gabriel, her eyes sparkling. "I graduated last year and have started working."

Gabriel smiled gently. "Every time I see you, you seem just like you did in high school. You haven't changed a bit!"

Ann seemed thrilled. "You haven't changed either, Gabriel!"

Gabriel suggested, "Let's go inside and talk."
