Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3589

Kai smiled and said goodbye.

Just as she set her phone down, Carson happened to call. "My mom just called asking me to bring you home for the weekend. I told her it's only Wednesday."

A bright smile bloomed on Marina's lips. "That's perfect actually. I had a friend buy some Xuan paper from The Inkstone Studio. I'll give it to her when we visit."

Carson's voice was elegant and teasing. "Why do I feel like I'm just a tool to facilitate your bonding?"

Marina let out a low laugh. "That just proves you're useful. Good job!"

Carson replied, "Thank you for the praise, my wife."

At first, Marina had resisted him constantly calling her 'wife' and 'Mrs. Foster,' but she had heard it so much that her ears were practically numb to it, and she seemed to have gotten used to it.

She paused for a moment before saying, "I just got off the phone with Kai. We were discussing the bonus chapters for the exhibition."

After a brief silence, Carson chuckled. "Since you took the initiative to report it, I won't hold it against you!"

Marina scoffed lightly. "I have work to do. You're dismissed!"

Carson's tone was playful. "Isn't it a bit early for me to be on my knees?"

Marina felt the spot where the phone touched her ear burn hot. She muttered a playful curse and hung up.

On Friday, Nocturne went to the gallery to discuss the specifics of the exhibition with the manager.

He wasn't greeted by Warren, but by a new staff member named Julian Yale.

After a two-hour discussion, Nocturne left and coincidentally ran into Phoebe in the hallway.

Phoebe was wearing a white coat and a beige beret, looking gentle and artistic. She offered a soft smile and greeted him. "Nocturne!"
