Chapter 1231
Director Sun nervously asked, “Who on earth is Estelle? How could I not know that she’s tight with Mr. Lamont?”
“Regardless of whether she knows Mr. Lamont or not, you’ve crossed the line today. At the very least, she’s my
production designer, and you handed her over to David. Did you even consider my feelings?” Mr. Tucker seriously
questioned.
With an embarrassed look on his face, Director Sun whispered, “I had no choice.”
Mr. Tucker scoffed, “I know David is backing your new film, but we’re in the film industry, and we should always put
our principles first. After this, let’s not keep in touch.” After saying this, Mr. Tucker left with a stem look on his face.
Director Sun was left puzzled, wondering what on earth just happened!
Meanwhile, Estelle was sitting in Millard’s car. She hadn’t drunk much and was still very lucid.
As they approached Sunset Ridge, Millard started speaking: “Estelle, Mr. Lamont has been attending a lot of social
events lately, often drinking till the wee hours. If you have the time, maybe you could have a word with him.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA thoughtful look flashed in Estelle’s eyes. She said quietly, “You know better than anyone about the state of my
marriage with Jonathan. Please don’t bring this up again.” Millard replied. “Do you remember our agreement at the
coffee shop? I keep your secret, and you promised never to hurt Mr. Lamont.”
Frowning. Estelle whispered, “I didn’t hurt him.”
Millard glanced at her and said, “Since you had the courage to approach Mr. Lamont in the first place, please keep
that courage up, alright?”
Estelle didn’t reply and just looked out the car window.
Millard didn’t press her further and parked the car downstairs. He said respectfully, “Goodbye, Estelle.”
“Thank you for the ride.” Estelle thanked him and got out of the car.
After walking a few steps, she seemed to remember something and looked back subconsciously. Millard’s car was
already turning around to leave. She turned and headed upstairs.
Instead of going back to her own house, she walked towards the opposite door.
During this period, she had gotten used to chatting with Dragon every day.
As soon as she got close, Dragon popped out, “Hey, Estelle!”
Estelle sat on the window sill and asked with a smile, “Did you go chasing her again today?”
Dragon blushed. “I gave her a bouquet of flowers today!”
“Good for you!” Estelle was happy for him.
“But she rejected me!”
“Don’t worry; keep trying. As long as she sees your persistence, she’ll consider your feelings.” Estelle laughed.
Dragon instantly regained his bright smile and said, “Of course!”
He looked at Estelle and said, “Estelle, you seem a bit down, right?”
“No!” Estelle shook her head.
“Don’t lie to me; my face recognition system is better than any human. You can’t fool me!”
Estelle was surprised: “You really do know everything!”
“Of course!” Dragon boasted, “Let me guess, the person you like doesn’t like you back, does he?”
Estelle chuckled and shook her head. “No!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDragon asked, “Does he love you then?”
I love him, but his love doesn’t make me feel secure.” Estelle said softly.
Had Jonathan already decided to break up with her again?
Manley Scott was right. Jonathan had let go so easily the first time. Would he do the same the second time?
She had lost faith in Jonathan. She didn’t know whether it was because he had let go so easily time and time again
or because her own sense of security was too weak.
Estelle tried to stop her mind from wandering and said, “I’m going to bed now, you should rest too!”
“Hope you have sweet dreams!” Dragon waved at her and said, “Hope you dream of the person you love!”
“You too!”
That night, she dreamed of Jonathan.
In her dream, she was at a banquet where David and others were maliciously plying her with drinks. Jonathan stood
to the side, taunting her, “Didn’t you choose Manley? Let him help you!”
Estelle woke up from her dream, looking at the bright moonlight outside. Her gaze gradually cleared.
She rolled over and couldn’t help muttering, “It’s all Dragon’s fault for making me have such a dream!”
