By the time she got to the Royal Mansion, it was pitch dark. She said her goodbyes to Jason and slowly trudged
upstairs.
The moment she opened the door, she noticed the lights in the dining room and kitchen were on. She took off her
coat and walked further in, only to see a figure bustling about in the kitchen
Jonathan was decked out in a light grey sweater and beige pants. He was tall, broad–shouldered and slim–waisted,
even his silhouette was enough to make your heart flutter
He was cooking up a storm, and when he heard her, he turned around, grinning, “Where’ve you been all day?”
Estelle walked over and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, “Paid a visit to an old–timer.”
Jonathan arched an eyebrow, “Got relatives in J City, do you?”
“Yep.” Estelle replied, taking a deep breath, “Smells amazing”
Jonathan scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew on it, and brought it to her lips. “New recipe. How’s it taste?”
Estelle blew on it a little, took a sip, and then nodded, “Delicious!”
Jonathan seldom caught her so unguarded and adorable that it made his heart skip a beat. He pulled her closer,
gave her chin a little squeeze, and planted a kiss. A bit sweet, isn’t it?”
“It’s just right!” Estelle looked up at him.
Jonathan leaned down for another kiss on her lips, “I meant here.”
Blushing, Estelle wriggled out of his arms, “I’m gonna wash my hands, then we can eat.”
Jonathan watched her walk away, a soft chuckle escaping his lips
