Chapter 28 Come Over for Dinner Jonathan felt somewhat reassured after hearing that . It seemed Estella had a strong chance of joining the orchestra . " No matter what , I have to thank you , Mr. Chase . A toast to you ." Finished Chase smiled and raised his glass , thinking to himself that it wouldn't be long before he attended Jonathan's wedding . If Estella and Jonathan ended up together , it would be a good thing . On the way back , Chase turned to his assistant , Zayn Leville . " Check the recruitment forms . See if there's a girl named Estella Hayes ." Zayn pulled out his tablet , scanned the list , and quickly responded , " Mr. Chase , there's no one by that name on the registration forms . " Chase was surprised . " Did she forget to sign up ? Never mind . Just add her name to the list . I'll have Jonathan remind her to participate ." " Understood , Mr. Chase ." After returning from the hospital , Estella ran into Jonathan , who was out walking his dog . Bailey perked up at the sight of her , bounding over with enthusiasm . Estella crouched down with a smile and played with him for a while . Jonathan had just gotten off the phone with Chase . He asked , " Estella , did you sign up for Mr. Chase's orchestra auditions ? " Estella nodded . " I did . Why ? " Jonathan replied , " Nothing , just making sure . " He was about to take Bailey home , but the dog refused to budge , lingering by Estella's side as if unwilling to part with her . Estella laughed and suggested , " Mr. Bennett , why don't you come over for dinner ? " Jonathan considered for a moment before agreeing . When Bailey entered Estella's home , he trotted straight to the small blanket in front of the couch , as if it were his designated spot . Estella retrieved two bottles of yogurt from the fridge , handing Jonathan the strawberry - flavored one . Since they often ate together , she had come to notice his preferences . He had an undeniable fondness for strawberries and anything strawberry - flavored . The contrast between Jonathan's usual seriousness and his unexpectedly childlike taste amused her . " Thanks . " Jonathan wasn't one to idly scan his surroundings when visiting someone's home . He simply sat down , opened the yogurt , and drank it quietly . Estella prepared a simple meal , onion beef stew , cheese - baked broccoli with ham , blanched greens , and two servings of Potato salad . Jonathan noticed that she barely touched her food and asked , " Are you on a diet ? " Estella chuckled and shook her head . " No , I'm going to the gym later , so I'm eating light ." Ever since Jonathan had suggested she exercise more , she had signed up for a gym membership nearby . Chapter 28 Come Over for Dinner Jonathan had unfinished work to handle , so he couldn't go with her tonight . He nodded . " You should work out more . It'll help keep you healthy . " After finishing her meal , Estella was about to do the dishes , but Jonathan took over the task without a word . Once he was done , he took Bailey and left . Estella rested for a bit before heading to the gym . It was her first time there , and her striking features quickly drew the attention of several men . One of them , bolder than the rest , approached her . " Are you here alone ? Let's get to know each other . I'm Chadwick Knox ." Estella gave him a brief nod , showing no interest in conversation . However , Chadwick was undeterred and continued trying to chat with her . Finished The gym owner was familiar with Jonathan and had seen him and Estella walking together in the neighborhood before . Assuming Jonathan was her boyfriend , he discreetly took a photo of Chadwick pestering her and sent it to Jonathan . Jonathan was reviewing case files when his phone vibrated . He glanced at the screen , his brows knitting together . Without hesitation , he grabbed his coat and headed out . Meanwhile , Estella grew increasingly frustrated as Chadwick's persistent chatter made it impossible to focus on her workout . Losing patience , she decided to leave . Yet Chadwick followed her . " Come on , give me your number . We can work out together sometime . " Coming from a wealthy family , he was accustomed to getting what he wanted and believed he had what it took to win over any woman . ཁ་ ཡ Estella's tone turned ice - cold . " Sorry , I'm leaving ! Chadwick , annoyed by her indifference , grabbed her wrist and smirked arrogantly . " Don't be so cold , beautiful . Let's be friends and have some fun together . " Just as Estella was about to yank her hand away , someone suddenly seized Chadwick's arm and wrenched him backward . She turned and found herself face - to - face with Jonathan . Jonathan positioned himself between her and Chadwick , shielding her . Chadwick scowled , irritated that someone had interrupted him . But the moment he recognized Jonathan , the arrogance drained from his face . His brother worked at Luminary Partners & Co. , so he was well aware of who Jonathan was . Lowering his head in a hurry , he stammered , " Oh , Mr. Bennett , so she's with you ? My bad , this is my fault . I ran my mouth . I'll leave right away ! " With that , he gave Estella a deep bow before slinking away in embarrassment . Estella turned to Jonathan and smiled , revealing two charming dimples . The Invisible Wife Turned Savage
