HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 54: What If I Win?

With a smile on, Ingemar pointed at Estelle, who was not far away and said, “I’m chasing after Miss Hudson. When I heard your conversation just now, I learned she is your ex-wife. Miss Hudson said that she learned how to play billiards from you, so I want to see how well you can play billiards.” As soon as he finished his words, everyone present understood what he meant. Someone clicked his tongue and said, “Is Ingemar serious? He’s just known this lady for several minutes!” “I’ve known Ingemar for so many years, but I’ve never seen him behave like this. I’m afraid that he has fallen in love with Miss Hudson!” “Why does Ingemar like a worthless divorced woman...” A man said. “Who is worthless?” “Who is worthless?” Rebecca and Ingemar spoke almost at the same time. The man was frightened and shut his mouth immediately. Then he apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that.” Rebecca snorted and said, “Who said divorced women are worthless? My friend got divorced because she wanted to get rid of her jerk ex-husband. Even though she’s divorced, she can still live a wonderful life. It’s the 21st century. Why do you look down upon divorced women? Old foggy.” With a darkened face, Ingemar said coldly to the man, “Watch your mouth.” The man nodded repeatedly and apologized to Estelle, “I’m sorry, Miss Hudson. I...” “It doesn’t matter,” Estelle said and waved her hand, not caring about what he had said. Then she said to Ingemar, “Ingemar, I’m very interested in the game that you just played. How about we go back to the board game area?” Since she said so, Ingemar had to listen to her. “Okay. I’ll tell you the rules of the game,” he said. But after taking a few steps, he was stopped by Cristofer. With a cue in her hand, Cristofer said with a sneer, “You are Ingemar from the Depp family? I remember you. Now that you’ve invited me, I’ll have a game with you. Do you prefer snooker or

eight-ball?” Ingemar asked, “Which one do you prefer?” “Snooker. And we often play in pairs,” Cristofer said briefly. “Me, too.” With a smile, Ingemar reached out his hand to Estelle and said, “Miss Hudson, shall we team up?” Estelle didn’t move. At this moment, she could feel that Cristofer was staring at her. She suddenly found him both annoying and amusing. Cristofer had been in the business world for many years and could see through Ingemar’s clumsy trick easily. However, he still agreed to compete with Ingemar when Ingemar goaded him. ‘Is he out of his mind?’ Estelle couldn’t help but think. “Sorry, Ingemar. I want to have a rest now. You may team up with Rebecca,” Estelle refused. Before Ingemar could say anything, Cristofer said sarcastically, “Miss Hudson, are you afraid of losing to me? I can understand your feelings. After all, it was me who taught you how to play billiards before. However, you are doomed to lose if we compete with each other.” His childish remarks amused Estelle. “Mr. Hans, what if I win?” Cristofer answered her quickly, “What do you want, Miss Hudson?” “I want my daughter.” Estelle said, “Yvonne is my child. Mr. Hans, your fiancée, will give birth to a child for you in the future. Why do you have to take my child away from me? Give her back to me.” “No way,” Cristofer refused at once. “She’s also my child. Therefore, she must live with me.” “What if she is not your child?” Estelle arrogantly retorted. Cristofer tightened his grip on the cue and asked, “What did you say?” Estelle said with a sneer, “I don’t want to say it a second time. Mr. Hans, you’ve had a fiancee and will get married soon, right? You’ll have your own child in the future. My daughter has just been born, and she’s less than a month old. She needs a mother. She needs me.” This conversation was so shocking that even Rebecca was stunned, not to mention Ingemar and Louis. “Estelle, do you have a daughter?” Rebecca asked.

Estelle didn’t want to talk about this in front of so many people. She kept looking into Cristofer’s eyes and asked, “Mr. Hans, do you dare to bet with me?” Cristofer gritted his teeth and said nothing. “What’s wrong with you, Mr. Hans? Are you dumb?” Estelle asked. “I won’t bet on my child,” Cristofer said. “Miss Hudson, since you are Yvonne’s mother, I’ll let you see her if you win today. But you can’t take her away.” Estelle said angrily, “You have no right to separate me and my daughter! You don’t know how much I suffered when I was pregnant with her! Why do you take away the child I gave birth to? Cristofer, why?!” Estelle was so emotional that the incision on her chest hurt. The dull pain gradually turned into a sharp pain and became more and more severe. Soon, droplets of sweat were welling up on her forehead. “Estelle!” Rebecca hurriedly held her by the arm and rummaged through Estelle’s handbag for the painkillers. “Your medicine... Your medicine is here. Take it!” She said as she handed a pill to Estelle. Estelle took the painkiller and swallowed it. However, it would take some time for the medicine to take effect. At the moment, her face was pale, and she could not even stand steadily. Rebecca helped her sit down on the sofa and asked worriedly, “Estelle, what’s the matter with you? How could the stomachache be so severe?” “What on earth is wrong with you?” A cold voice came. Estelle opened her eyes and saw Cristofer’ shoes in front of her. She raised her head and said, “It’s none of your business.” Cristofer frowned and asked impatiently, “Tell me, what’s the matter with you?” Rebecca pushed him away and said, “Cristofer, you cheated on Estelle during her pregnancy, did you? She risked her life to give birth to a daughter for you, but you wanted to divorce her just after your daughter was born. And you even took another woman to buy wedding rings. You are so cold- blooded!” Cristofer held back his impatience and said, “It’s hard to explain what happened between us in aText property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

few words.” “Hard to explain? It’s true that Estelle gave birth to a daughter for you, and it’s also true that you bought rings for another woman! What else do you want to explain?” Rebecca said in a rage. “I thought you two just broke up because you didn’t get along well with each other. But I didn’t expect the truth of your divorce to be like this. Estelle, don’t be afraid. I’ll help you sue him and get your daughter back!” Cristofer said coldly, “What does she have to compete with me for the custody of my daughter? Does she have a job? Does she have money? Can she guarantee that Yvonne will live a carefree life in the future and have the best education?” “Living a poor life is better than living with an inhuman father like you!” Rebecca glared at Cristofer.
