HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 40: Are You Shy?

As she spoke, the young girls came to help Estelle change her clothes. Estelle refused immediately, “Thank you, but I’ll do it myself.” “Are you shy?” Miranda asked. “No...” Estelle said. She just didn’t want them to see the surgical incision on her chest. Miranda nodded and said, “Okay. Then you may change into it yourself.” Then she got out of the car. After closing the car’s rear door, she looked at the dress in her hand. The dress was fancy and exquisite. It was a dark blue and made of flannel with fine hand-made embroidery on it. When Estelle put it on, she looked elegant and gentle. And the dark color of it made her look more fair-skinned. Moreover, the strapless dress gave her figure an advantage, revealing her slender neck, delicate shoulders, and beautiful collarbones. At this moment, Estelle looked graceful, noble, and sexy. The moment she opened the car door, Miranda was amazed. “Oh, my God!.” Holding the hemline of her dress gently, Estelle got out of the car slowly and said, “I’ve changed into it. We can go on to the next step.” With a gleam of amazement in her eyes, Miranda said, “Now I finally know why he likes you. Just a change of clothes could make you look so beautiful. Dressing up will make you more beautiful than a princess.” Hearing this, Estelle felt a little embarrassed. “Come here and sit down. I’ll get your hair styled.” Miranda asked Estelle to get into the car again. Then she coiled Estelle’s black hair up and tied it with a string of hair ornaments with small beads of diamonds. The diamonds shone brightly between Estelle’s hair, looking like stars shining in the night sky. After that, Miranda took out a pair of high-heeled shoes from a shoebox and helped Estelle put them on.

While doing that, she couldn’t help saying, “Tut-tut, I haven’t seen him so considerate towards anyone before. He treats you so well. Even the hair ornament and shoes that he chose are well- matched. And the size of the shoes is just right.” Estelle hadn’t worn high heels for six years. Then, staring at the shoes blankly, she recalled the past. In the past, when she was still the happy and carefree Estelle, she liked wearing high heels the most, and there were many high heels of different styles in her cloakroom. Most of them were bought by Cristofer, and some were collected by herself. The high heels that she was wearing were the same color as her dress. It was made of dark blue satin with its vamp covered with small diamonds. “These are the latest Versace high heels, and our country has only fifty pairs of new arrivals. I asked many of my friends for help to buy a pair of them. You are so lucky. You didn’t ask for them, but he directly bought a pair for you.” Hearing that, the young girls around showed an envious look. After all, no girl didn’t want a rich and considerate boyfriend. A girl couldn’t help asking, “Miranda, who is the gentleman you are talking about?” When Estelle heard that, her heart beat faster, and she immediately fixed her eyes on Miranda. Miranda chuckled and said, “That’s not what you should ask.” “Alright...” “Miranda,” Estelle said with a hesitant look. “What’s wrong?” “May I ask you a question?” She asked softly, “You know him, right?” “Yes,” Miranda replied quickly. “But he has no intention of letting you know his identity, so I’m sorry that I can’t tell you who he is.” “Then when can I know who he is?” Estelle asked. “He will let you know when he wants you to know it,” Miranda smiled at her.

In Hudson’s House, Melody’s birthday party went smoothly. York held Melody’s hand and talked with the others in a high spirit as if he owned the house. Melody also put on airs and joyfully beamed when she spoke as if she were the hostess. Some people saw Gretchen and Cristofer standing side by side and talking intimately not far away and were surprised. “Mr. and Mrs. Grantham, your daughter’s boyfriend is Cristofer?” Hearing this, Melody puffed out her chest and said proudly, “Yes, Cristofer fell in love with Gretchen at first sight and pursued her for a long time. His sincerity moved Gretchen and then agreed to be with him.” Hearing her words, York was delighted and added, “Cristofer likes Gretchen very much, and he chased after her crazily before.” The people around were all surprised. Then they began to flatter York and Melody one after another. “What a perfect match. Mr. Grantham, you’ve already very rich and powerful. Now with the support of the Hans family, you will be powerful enough to control the whole Hadale!” “Yes. Mr. Grantham, you are so lucky to have such a good daughter. It took you no effort to turn Mr. Hans into your own family. You are awesome!” “Mr. Grantham, I hope that we can cooperate in the future. Everyone, let’s propose a toast to Mr. Grantham!” “Mr. Grantham. Congratulations!” York was thrilled to hear these compliments and clinked glasses with them. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he was a little drunk. “Mr. Grantham, when is the wedding of Miss Grantham and Mr. Hans? We can’t wait to witness their grand wedding.” With a smile, York waved his hand and said, “They’ll get married soon after Cristofer divorces.” “What? Mr. Hans has been married? I haven’t heard of it before,” someone asked. Hearing that, Melody immediately came over and said smilingly, “York is drunk and talking nonsense again. Please don’t mind. Cristofer is still single. He loves Gretchen so much. How is it

possible that he gets married to others?” Someone scratched his head and said, “I remember that Cristofer was with the daughter of the Hudson family for many years. They grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. I’ve never heard of Mr. Grantham’s daughter.” Before he finished his words, his friend immediately covered his mouth and said, “Levi, are you drunk too? Don’t you know that the Hudson family’s daughter occupied the Hans family’s properties and dumped Mr. Hans? He hates her guts! Stop talking about it.” The man called Levi was indeed drunk. He said stubbornly, “I even saw them together before. Mr. Hans spoiled that girl very much back then. He even let her step on his shoulder to pick the osmanthus from the tree. The two of them looked well-matched.” “No matter how well-matched they were, it was in the past. Now the Hudson family has collapsed, and no one knows where that girl is. Everyone has their past. Don’t mention it anymore. Mr. Hans and Miss Grantham will get married soon. Watch your mouth. If Mr. Hans hears what you said, you’ll be doomed.” “Who’s Miss Grantham?” At this moment, a clear female voice came from outside.
