In the villa, Lambert sat brooding in the living room, waiting for her. His
expression was a storm of dark clouds as she entered, and his gaze towards her
was complex and troubled. Estelle ignored his questioning eyes, grabbed a bottle
of water from the fridge to quench her thirst, and headed for the stairs. “Stop right
there!” Lambert called out, halting her in her tracks. “You're going to walk away
without saying anything?” Estelle turned around, her features composed, “What
is it?” Lambert rose and approached her, his deep-set eyes intently fixed on her.
“You went out with Alvis this afternoon? What exactly is going on between the
two of you?” “That would be a personal question!” Estelle replied coolly. His brow
furrowed, and his brown eyes darkened further. “Estelle, don't try to get close to
Alvis thinking he can offer you something. Compared to him, I'm the safer bet. I
care about you, and I won't hurt you again.” “Whatever he can do for you, I can
do too!” His voice carried earnest sincerity. “Anyway, I don't like you getting too
close to him!” Estelle realized Lambert suspected she was seducing Alvis for
some ulterior motive. She looked down at the man standing two steps below her.
“Lambert, you should head back to your castle tomorrow morning. Perhaps we
can sit down for a drink tomorrow night.” Lambert's eyebrows shot up in surprise.
“Are you asking me out?” “Yes,” Estelle nodded affirmatively. “Let's not worry
about the new energy project for now. You go back first, I've got some unfinished
business here. Once I'm done, I'll come to find you. Stock up on the wine, and
perhaps a bit extra!” His gaze sparkled. “I can give you a tour of my wine cellar.
Some bottles were laid down when I was born, by my father. If you like, we can
drink for three days and nights!” Estelle smiled faintly. “Sounds good, I'll come to
you.” Lambert's smile wavered slightly. “Are you trying to change the subject?
What are you planning to do here? Is it dangerous?” “Just some personal
matters,” Estelle assured him. “There’s no danger. I'll come to find you.” After a
moment's hesitation, Lambert nodded. “Alright.” “Oh, and Lambert,” Estelle’s
voice was clear as crystal, “wake me up early tomorrow morning, don’t let me
oversleep again.” “No problem!” Lambert gave her a comforting smile. “Rest
easy, have sweet dreams, and once more, happy birthday. May you always be
safe and sound.” “Thank you!” Estelle nodded, then turned and continued
upstairs. Entering her room, Estelle took off her necklace and went to take a
shower. After changing into comfortable clothes, she noticed a sprig of rosemary
left by her bed. Legend had it that sleeping with rosemary by your pillow could
bring peaceful rest and pleasant dreams. This must have been Lambert's doing.
A slight smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she forced herself to recall that

years ago. She had saved a young man, instantly recognizing his inexperience
on the battlefield, his shock at the sight of the dead, and how he had even lost
his gun. She had handed him a spare weapon, and he had stuck close to her
ever since. She had taught him some aiming and evasive maneuvers. So many
years had passed, and the finer details had faded from memory. Visit

necklace Jonathan had given her, clutching the chain in her palm. She knew her
situation was grim; aware that her mind was being manipulated by drugs,
causing her to hallucinate hearing Wolf's call. At times, she was uncertain which
world was real. Once tomorrow's mission was over, she would come clean to
Jonathan about her condition. He was the only one who could pull her back to
reality. If she kept it a secret any longer, he would undoubtedly be furious.
Clutching the necklace chain, she fought against the pull of sleep, but eventually,
she drifted off. Visit Dramanovels.com to read full content. (Image) Visit
