HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 230: We Have Money Now

“Yes, I admit I feel jealous. Today, Tim participated in a thrilling motorcycle race on the mountain that he had eagerly anticipated being a part of. This race only occurs once every four years. However, he ultimately decided to forgo it because of his feelings for you. When I contemplate the fact that he desires you, it ignites a strong urge within me to confront him.” Estelle couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Really? It turns out the so-called team-building activity that he mentioned is a motorcycle race. I thought he was in a rock concert when I saw him dress like that.” After saying that, she struggled slightly, took out her phone from her handbag, and showed Mr. Mysterious the caller ID. It was Mrs. Moorsum who called her. Seeing this, Mr. Mysterious let go of her. As Estelle answered the phone, she heard Yohan's sweet voice. “Mom! I miss you so much!” “I miss you too,” Estelle smiled and said softly. “I’m sorry, Yohan. I was too busy today. I’ll go back home now.” “No, Mom, please listen. Mrs. Moorsum informed me that you and Dad are having a great time. I’m calling just to let you know that there’s no need for you to return home too soon.” “Did Mrs. Moorsum really say that?” Estelle inquired. “Yes,” Yohan responded cheerfully, “Hee hee. Mrs. Moorsum also mentioned that if you and Dad spend quality time alone and have a good time, I might have a little brother in the near future. Hooray!” Estelle couldn’t help but be amused by his words, shaking her head with a gentle smile of resignation. Suddenly, Mr. Mysterious took the phone from her hand and spoke in a tender voice, “Yohan, do you really want a younger brother?” “Yes!” Yohan exclaimed. “Dad, I know you’re a superhero. Can you make a younger brother for me? Many of my classmates have younger brothers, but I don’t. I also wish for a younger brother.” “Well, I can’t make a younger brother for you now.”

“Why?” “Because...” Mr. Mysterious said slowly as he lowered his head and looked at Estelle meaningfully, “I haven’t got your Mom’s permission.” “You need Mom’s permission before making a younger brother for me?” “Yes.” “Then I’ll try to ask for her permission! Mom loves me the most. She will definitely agree to my request!” Estelle stood on tiptoe, snatched the phone back from Mr. Mysterious hand, and then said to Yohan, “Your Dad is just kidding. Just forget what he said. Yohan, go to bed early. You have to go to school tomorrow. I will go back soon with your Dad.” “Mom, I want a younger brother...” “...” “Mom, please... I really want a younger brother.” Yohan was still begging her. Estelle didn’t know how to reply to him at all. Mr. Mysterious chuckled, took the phone back from her hand, and said on the phone, “Yohan, your Mom needs some time to think about it. She’s not well enough to have a younger brother for you. Let’s talk about it when she is better, okay?” “Okay, Dad,” Yohan said and nodded. Estelle was speechless, thinking, ‘It seems that I underestimated a father’s influence on a child. Yohan is now amenable to whatever Mr. Mysterious says!’ “You are so awesome. Even Yohan's biological father may not be as influential as you,” Estelle pouted her lips. “It will be better if Yohan takes me as his biological father,” Mr. Mysterious said and chuckled. **** That night, Mr. Mysterious held Estelle from behind while sleeping, just like they did when they stayed in the Grand Hotel of Hadale City. And both of them had a good sleep. On the following day, when Estelle woke up, Mr. Mysterious had already gone to work. After having breakfast, she played with Yvonne for a while. Then she sent Yohan to school and tookThis material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

a taxi to the hospital to visit Aurora. Perhaps it was because Aurora had seen her two grandchildren that she was in a good mood and in a much better condition these days. Glowing with health, she was fixing her eyes on her phone intently and learning how to make complementary food for babies on Tik Tok. Seeing her in a better condition, Estelle could not help but smile with relief. “Mom, Good morning.” Aurora was happy to see her. “Estelle, you are finally here. Just now, the doctor said that I could be discharged from the hospital.” ‘What a coincidence,’ Estelle thought. She had wanted to ask the doctor whether Aurora could be discharged. Mr. Mysterious hired Aurora’s attending doctor from abroad. Thanks to Mr. Mysterious’ her mother got the best treatment and recovered soon. Estelle pondered, ‘It’s likely that Mr. Mysterious spoke with the doctor and arranged for Mom to be discharged once she fully recovered. He’s always so thoughtful and attuned to my desires.’ “Estelle, you look like you’ve put on some weight,” Aurora commented upon noticing her changes. Hearing her Mom’s words, Estelle was a little surprised and touched her face, asking, “Really?” “Of course, you’re my daughter. I can easily observe any changes in you,” Aurora replied with a smile. “By the way, Estelle, I need to tell you something. Your uncle and aunt have taken over our house. However, it’s not a problem. I have some money saved up. We can rent an apartment.” Aurora retrieved a small cloth bag wrapped in a handkerchief from under her pillow and opened it as she spoke. Estelle’s eyes widened as she saw a stack of cash inside. There were approximately thirty thousand dollars in the bag. “As a mother, I can’t provide you with a good life or even let us become homeless. Thankfully, this money should be enough to cover at least six months’ worth of rent for a small apartment,” Aurora explained. “Mom, where did you get this money?” Estelle asked, her confusion evident on her face. Aurora looked away to avoid her gaze and said, “That’s not important. Anyway, we have money

now.” Sensing that something was off, Estelle grabbed Aurora’s wrist and asked, “Mom, where is your jade bracelet?” “...” “Did you sell your jade bracelet?” Estelle was shocked. With a forced smile, Aurora tried to comfort her, “It’s okay, Estelle. It’s just a piece of jewelry. Compared with you and my two grandchildren, it is nothing. I can’t just stand by and see you have nowhere to live. I want to be helpful.” “But that bracelet... is a gift from Dad for you.” Speaking of George, Aurora couldn’t help feeling sad, and tears welled up in her eyes. But she still showed a smile and said, “If your father knew about our current situation, he would approve of what I did. When he was alive, he had been looking forward to having grandchildren. Now he has a grandson and a granddaughter. He must be very happy in heaven.”
