Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1814

Ten days before Magdalen's wedding, she decided to throw a bash for Estelle and Jonathan's circle at the 9th Mansion.

Anyone who was anybody in J City got an invite.

As the evening unfolded, Jonathan drove to pick up Estelle and they headed to the 9th Mansion. By the time they arrived, dusk had painted the sky in shades of twilight, and the place was alit with a brilliant display of lights.

The air was brisk, but not too cold, so Jonathan flung open his overcoat and wrapped Estelle in his arms as they made their way inside.

They entered the private room to find it buzzing with energy. Charlie, Josiah, Carson, Andrew, and others were clustered around Morrison, laughing and cajoling him to drink.

In the adjacent lounge, Magdalen was keeping Emily, Amiee, and a few others entertained while they fussed over Kya.

Even Henson and Norah had made an appearance. The room was a cacophony of chatter and laughter.

As Estelle and Jonathan walked in, the crowd swarmed them. Carson chuckled, "You two sure took your sweet time. So what's the verdict? How shall we penalize the latecomers?"

Jonathan replied with a smirk, "How about a drink penalty? And Charlie can take my shots for me!"

Charlie looked shocked. "Why on earth should I take your punishment?"

Jonathan drawled, "Who was it that said he owed me a lifetime of favors? How do you plan on keeping that promise? With empty words?"

Charlie burst into laughter. "I owe Estelle the favor, not you!"

Estelle leaned into Jonathan's embrace and gave Charlie a meaningful look that spoke volumes.

Without a second thought, Charlie turned and said briskly, "Alright, how many shots are we talking?"

After watching their banter for a bit, Estelle wandered over to Magdalen.

Magdalen stood to greet her. "I've also invited Xavier. Why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Norah, who was busy entertaining Kya with a rubber ball, momentarily lost her smile and looked up.
