Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)

Chapter 2346



Norah sipped her milk with a smile, "A change of scenery really does wonders for the mood and spirit!"

Henson, sitting nearby, glanced at her and suppressed a laugh, choosing not to burst her bubble.

Janice nodded, "See? Staying cooped up at home just drains your energy. Feels much better to get out, doesn't it?"

"Yeah, yeah!" Norah nodded enthusiastically. "Thanks, Mom!"

Seeing her daughter's uplifted spirits, Janice smiled and went upstairs.

Norah caught Henson's mocking look but didn't mind. Instead, she offered him a shrimp dumpling, "Come on, little bro, eat up."

Henson said, "Maybe if you'd been nicer to me sooner, you'd already be with Gonzalez by now!"

"Shh!" Norah gestured for silence, looking around before whispering, "Let's not bring him up at home."

Henson rolled his eyes and shoved the dumpling into his mouth.

Over at the Hanson residence, just after breakfast, a servant announced the arrival of the Lamont siblings. Mr. Hanson and Hannah were surprised but went to greet them together.

Norah and Henson greeted them politely upon entering the living room.

Henson cheerfully asked, "Grandpa Hanson, is Gonzalez around?"NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"He's upstairs. Why do you ask?" Mr. Hanson replied with a gentle smile.

"I was thinking of taking my sister to the movies and wanted Gonzalez to join us," Henson explained.

Mr. Hanson laughed in surprise, "Gonzalez? I thought you'd be asking for Yvonne."

Henson quickly said, "I wanted to invite Gonzalez, and I was hoping to get Uncle to play soccer with us too."

"Not today, I'm afraid," Hannah interjected softly, offering some fruit. "Gonzalez is busy today and won't be able to join you."

"What's he up to?" Norah asked immediately.

Luckily, no one caught on to the

tension. Hannah explained, "Gonzalez has been away for so long, he hasn't even found a girlfriend. Since he's home, I've set him up with a girl to meet today, so he definitely can't go out with you."

"A blind date?" Henson said, glancing at Norah.

Norah felt a lump in her throat, as if she'd been tossed into a lake just like the stone Xavier had thrown the night before, sinking down. "Yes, a blind date!" Hannah confirmed with a laugh.

Henson's eyes widened in feigned surprise, "I've only seen blind dates on TV; never witnessed one in real life. Can we stay and watch?"

Looking at Norah, he added, "My sister's never seen one either. She's at the age to start dating, so it could be educational for her. She's really clueless about pursuing someone she likes!"

With a modest expression, Norah stayed seated, internally scoffing at her brother's antics. "Oh, brother, thank you so much!" "Really?" Hannah looked at them in surprise. "You want to watch Gonzalez's blind date?"

Mr. Hanson laughed heartily,

"They're still kids at heart! Let them stay, it's good for young people to mingle. Might even prevent Gonzalez from being too quiet and making things awkward."

Hannah nodded in agreement, "Mr. Hanson's right. The last date didn't go well because Gonzalez hardly spoke, scaring the girl off."

"Exactly. With Norah and Henson here, it's bound to be a success," Mr. Hanson said cheerfully.

Exchanging glances, Henson and Norah felt a bit guilty about the praise.

With them around, success was the last thing they wanted for Gonzalez's date!
