Estelle’s face lit up with a smile as she answered the video call, “Grandpa!” Back
in C City, the sky was just as clear and Old Mr. Jarvis greeted her with twinkling
eyes, “Happy birthday, my dear!” With a playful grin, Estelle responded, “Thank
you, Grandpa!” “I've got your birthday presents, from me and your brother, all set
up in your room. Old Wade mentioned something about having spaghetti for a
birthday lunch, to celebrate your day. He Justin are brainstorming some new
twists to make it look so tempting, you might just fly back home to have some!”
Old Mr. Jarvis chuckled, “I bet that was Justin's idea.” Estelle felt a warm surge of
gratitude, “Thanks to Mr. Justin, and Old Mr. Wade too.” “So, how long are you
staying abroad?” Old Mr. Jarvis inquired. “Just a few more days, then I'll be back
to keep you company,” Estelle replied with a relaxed smile. “And today, is anyone
throwing a birthday party for you? Did you get any cake?” Old Mr. Jarvis knew
how much Estelle loved sweets; a birthday without cake is simply unthinkable.
“Oh yes, lots of fans and the event organizers sent me so many cakes!” Estelle
boasted, “I can hardly fit them all in the room!” “Estelle, you are truly amazing!”
Old Mr. Jarvis couldn't hide his pride. He looked at her affectionately, “Come back
soon. Jonathan will be worried too.” “I will!” Estelle nodded, “Very soon.” “All right,
get back to your day, and remember to have some extra cake,” Old Mr. Jarvis
advised. “And you make sure to have some extra spaghetti, it'll be as if I'm there
too.” “Will do!” After they ended the call, Old Mr. Jarvis set down his phone, the
smile fading from his face to be replaced by a look of deep concern. He knew
Estelle was involved in something dangerous, yet he had to pretend ignorance to
avoid
worrying her. Old Wade poured him a cup of hot tea, “Miss Estelle sounds in
good spirits, and besides, Mr. Lamont has already joined her. He'll keep her safe,
sir. No need for too much worry.” Old Mr. Jarvis nodded, “With Jonathan there, I
feel somewhat at ease.” Old Wade frowned, “What about the news online? It
looks like someone’s plotting against Miss Estelle, not even sparing the Macclain
family.” Old Mr. Jarvis's gaze turned stern and cold, “It's not a simple matter. The
person behind this isn’t just targeting Estelle! Let them make a mess for now.
When Estelle returns, I'll personally go to J City to bring her home!” Old Wade
nodded, “Miss probably doesn’t know about the situation back home. Let's not
disturb her for now. We'll wait for her return to deal with everything. Mr. Lamont
won't let them get away with it!” “Right,” Old Mr. Jarvis agreed solemnly, “Estelle
is getting married to Jonathan soon. It's about time her role as the Jarvis family
heir is made public.” Old Wade chuckled, “Miss Estelle prefers to keep things
understated.” Old Mr. Jarvis snorted, “She doesn’t get a say this time. After being
bullied like this, I'm not gone yet!” “Today's her birthday, sir. No talk of bad
omens,” Old Wade reminded him. (Image) (Image) (Image) “Will do!” Old Wade
followed him out. In the courtyard, the lanterns along the porch had been
replaced with colorful glass lights, adorned with birthday blessings—a tradition of
the Jarvis family. Even though Estelle was never home for her birthday, Old Mr.
Jarvis never wavered. Read at Dramagnovels.com He would also hand out
bonuses to the household staff, praying for Estelle’s well-being. Year after year,
all he wished for was Estelle’s joy and safety! Zion. After ending the call with Old
Mr. Jarvis, Estelle replied to a few more birthday wishes.
