Winnie saw her holding a whole box of sugar and couldn't help but laugh, "Estelle loves sweets, but Mr. Lamont is afraid that eating too much sugar will be bad for her health, so he doesn't allow her to eat a lot go crazy with the sugar at your place, Mrs. Macy"
Mrs. Macy looked at Estelle with some meaningful glint in her eyes and said, "Mr. Lamont and Ms. Macclain have a great relationship."
Estelle smiled and said, "He's just too domineering."
Winnie exaggeratedly gasped, "Estelle, you're making me jealous! A guy like that is hard to come by! Most people would die for that kind of domineering love"
In the evening, after taking a bath, Jonathan applied body lotion on Estelle's back, and she said, "Baldrick invited the Macys to the opera, and you should have gone
too."
She didn't know if she should tell Jonathan about what she had seen during the day. She hadn't heard the specifics of the conversation, and she was afraid that she might be overthinking. If she brought it up, it Jonathan might let his guard down and be deceived by Baldrick.
After contemplating, she didn't mention it but could only subtly hint at it, hoping he would understand what she meant. Jonathan sat on the edge of the bed and chuckled, "You don't like the opera, so I decided to stay and keep you company."
Estelle lay on the bed, turned her head to look at him, and said, "When you told me about the opera, I thought you had prepared it especially for me.

Jonathan leaned forward, propped up by his arms, and gazed into her eyes. His voice was languid, "Who says you haven't helped me? My body feels relaxed at night, and I can get things done more efficiently
In truth, he wasn't just flattering her -

Estelle flushed under his intense gaze, and she buried her head into the soft bedding, mumbling, "Are you done yet? I'm so sleepy!"
"Almost done," the man chuckled before continuing to apply the lotion on her back.
His hands were warm and strong, pressing down gently but firmly from her neck down. Estelle felt comfortable to the bone that her toes couldn't help but curl up.
The room was lit only by a bedside lamp, and the moonlight shone in, casting a glow on her smooth and beautiful back, which was as sheen as jade.
Perhaps it was because they were away from the hustle and bustle of the city that the moonlight here was particularly clear and bright. Estelle turned her head, and her eyes were filled with the bright, clear mo
The opera wasn't held inside the estate but in a theater in C City. Baldrick had booked the entire venue, so only the Macys and Baldrick and Winnie were inside.
The environment was very elegant and quiet.
As Mrs. Macy enjoyed the opera, she seemed to be reminded of the past. Holding Winnie's hand, she tearfully choked up several times.
