Chapter 208
Jonathan was squatting in front of the flowers, collecting pollen with a tool. Seeing her come over, he
laughed, “Didn’t I tell you to go to sleep?” Estelle poured the sweet soup into a bowl, “I was about to
sleep, but then I smelled the sweet soup being cooked in the kitchen, and I got hungry.”
She handed the sweet soup to Jonathan, “Try it, do you like it?”
Jonathan took a sip and nodded, “Mmm, it’s delicious”
He casually joked, “The Jarvis family’s taste sure suits you well!”
Estelle held the bowl and calmly said, “Well, I guess that’s just how they roll in C City”
In the early morning, the couple headed to their respective rooms. Jonathan tightly held Estelle’s hand
as they walked together. “I’ve checked, the bed is spacious enough for both of us.”
The slumbering parrot nearby was jolted awake, swiftly turning its head. Its small red eyes fixated on
them, resembling infrared lasers.

house.”
Jonathan chuckled. “I didn’t say we’d do anything, I just don’t want you to feel scared in a strange place
Estelle scoffed in her heart. Nice try, but Jonathan would never control himself once they hit the bed!
I’m not scared. Isn’t it guarding us outside?” Estelle looked at the parrot, half–jokingly
The parrot let out a squawk, “Not scared, not scared! We fear nothing, only deceitful men!”
Jonathan’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at the bird, scoffing. ‘Say another word, and I’ll silence you!”
“You wouldn’t dare! You wouldn’t dare” The parrot flapped its wings defiantly, challenging him.
“Shhi Estelle placed a finger to her lips, gesturing for silence. Everyone else is asleep. Please keep it
down.”
The parrot closed its beak, turned away, and paid no further attention to Jonathan
Jonathan couldn’t help but laugh, ‘This thing is just like a person!”
The parrot wanted to argue, but Estelle smacked it before it could speak. The bird jumped away and
didn’t dare to speak again. Estelle gently pushed Jonathan back to his room, ‘It’s late, go to hed”
“Keep your phone with you and don’t turn it off, Jonathan reminded.
Estelle couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t worry, this is the Jarvis family’s place. There are no bad guys
here!”
“Alright, go ahead! Jonathan patted her head, watched her enter her room, and then went back to his
room.

Emily was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night and heard some noise outside.
She got out of bed in her pajamas, opened the door, and grabbed her baseball bat for self–defense
from the cabinet.
The living room was engulfed in darkness, illuminated only by the faint, flickering light filtering through
the balcony. With cautious steps, she made her way towards it, her eyes widening in shock, and a cold
sweat instantly breaking out

There, on the balcony, stood a man!
He stood in front of the cabinet, seemingly looking for something.
A thief?
How did a thief get in?
Could it be that he climbed in from the balcony? But this is the 30th floor!
This thief seemed pretty skilled, so she had to take advantage of his distraction and knock him out with
a single blow!
Emily’s heart pounded, and sweat formed on her forehead. She gripped the bat tightly, crouched
behind the sofa, and slowly approached the “thief”
The light on the balcony was dim, but as she got closer, the man’s tall figure became more visible. At
the same time, she smelled the alcohol on him. Emily’s mind raced, “The thief” had been drinking he
must be taking advantage of the Dutch courage to commit the crime.
She tiptoed up behind him, held her breath, looked up, and then took a deep breath. She suddenly
jumped up and swung the bat with all her might
