HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 158: Mr. Roberts' Proposal

“Yes,” Mrs. Moorsum said. “Miss Hudson, I also know a little about physiognomy. I can tell from your appearance that you are blessed.” “Really?” The smile on Estelle’s face faded a little. “But you don’t look well. You might have had a hard time before. Wait a minute. I’ll do a tarot card reading for you later.” After quickly finishing doing the dishes, Mrs. Moorsum pulled Estelle to sit on the sofa, took out a set of tarot cards, placed them on the table orderly, and looked at them carefully. “Miss Hudson, it seems that your life was full of ups and downs in the past years,” she stated. Hearing this, Estelle was stunned. Then she sat upright and asked seriously, “Can you see what happened to me exactly before?” “I’ll begin with your financial luck. You were born into a rich family and enjoyed a good life when you were young. But something unforeseen happened to your family later, and then you became short of money.” Mrs. Moorsum paused and looked at Estelle with a hesitant look, not knowing whether to go on. “It’s okay. Feel free to say what you want,” Estelle said gently. “Okay. Miss Hudson, according to the cards, you will have two marriages in your life. But what I said might not be right.” Mrs. Moorsum was a little uncertain when she said this. She looked at the cards more carefully for a while and then said firmly, “Well, now I’m sure about that. You will have two marriages. But there seems to be an entanglement between the two marriages.” ‘Entanglement? Does it mean that I will still have an emotional entanglement with Cristofer in the future?’ Estelle wondered. “Mrs. Moorsum, can you see if my second marriage will last long?” she asked. Mrs. Moorsum gasped and said with mixed feelings, “Miss Hudson, I’ve done tarot card reading countless times, but I haven’t seen such a complicated case as yours. Look at these two cards. They represent your two marriages. Generally speaking, two marriages should be separated. But these two cards show that your two marriages are intertwined like twin vines. It’s strange.”

“Mrs. Moorsum, I don’t understand what you said. What do you mean?” Estelle was confused. “Miss Hudson, please don’t be angry if I tell you the truth.” “I won’t. Go ahead, please.” Mrs. Moorsum sighed and said, “Actually, I’ve never seen such a result before. I guess that if two marriages are intertwined, there are two possibilities for your marriage. One is that you will marry the same person twice, and the other is that... your second husband has known you for a long time, and he’s been waiting for you.” Estelle was speechless. “Miss Hudson, I was just guessing. Please don’t take it seriously,” Mrs. Moorsum explained apologetically. Estelle held the cards and asked earnestly, “Mrs. Moorsum, can you tell me whether my second marriage can last long?” “Well...” Mrs. Moorsum scratched her head and said with an embarrassed look. “Miss Hudson, I mean no offense. But it seems that your lifespan is... short. Whether your marriage will last long depends on whether you can live long. Just take my words as nonsense, Miss Hudson. You are still so young. And with the protection of Mr. Mysterious, you will be just fine. You will definitely live long.” Seeing Estelle’s face turn pale, Mrs. Moorsum regretted saying such words and apologized immediately, “Miss Hudson, I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. Don’t think too much. I... I’m going to clean up the kitchen.” Taking a deep breath, Estelle tried to calm herself down and said, “It’s okay, Mrs. Moorsum. Thank you for doing the tarot card reading for me.” “Miss Hudson…” Estelle showed a gentle smile and said, “I’m okay, Mrs. Moorsum. Don’t take it to your heart. You may go ahead with your work.” “Okay. Okay.” Mrs. Moorsum said nervously and went to the kitchen at once. And she didn’t come out until a long time later. Lowering her head, Estelle looked at the tarot cards on the table silently. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

At the thought that what Mrs. Moorsum had said about her family and relationships was accurate, she couldn’t help thinking, ‘Will my lifespan really be short?’ Suddenly, her phone rang. “Hello, this is Estelle,” Estelle said after she answered the phone. “I didn’t expect that you were Estelle. No wonder you can close a deal with a difficult client like Katrina.” A man’s voice came from the other end of the line. Hearing this, Estelle took a look at the caller ID in confusion. Then she said respectfully, “Hi, Mr. Roberts.” Tim’s voice sounded excited. “When we were in university, all the professors said you were a rising star in the jewelry design industry. I wanted to compete with you back then, but unexpectedly, you dropped out. It must be fate that I finally met you. If those professors in our university knew that you were working for me, they would be dumbfounded.” “Mr. Roberts, were you also studying at Lanster Jewelry Design Academy?” Estelle was also a little surprised. “I’m several years ahead of you. When you went to the university, I was about to graduate. Everyone spoke highly of me and said I was promising until you came to our university. Estelle, now I finally have a chance to compete with you. I’ll prove that I’m better than you.” Estelle was a little stunned. “Mr. Roberts, there’s no need for us to compete. You are my senior in jewelry design and my boss. Undoubtedly, you are much better than me in every aspect.” “Estelle, why did you drop out of university back then?” “...” “Was it because I’m too excellent and you were afraid of a strong competitor like me that you decided to quit the jewelry design industry?” Estelle, who didn’t expect that he was so narcissistic, was speechless. After a few seconds, she said in a low voice, “No. I dropped out because I would get married.” There was a long silence on the other end of the line. “Mr. Roberts?” “...”

“Mr. Roberts, can you hear me?” “I’m listening,” Tim said in a deep voice that sounded completely different from just now. “You got married to Cristofer?” “Yes.” “But he brought another woman to our company to buy wedding rings on the day of your interview.” “I know that.” “Estelle,” Tim said gently. “Divorce him. Cristofer doesn’t deserve you.”
