HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 62: Don't Be So Shy

In the past, she thought that no one was good enough for her. Everyone said that she was aloof and unapproachable, and she even got the title of “Icy Beauty” at the university. And those boys who had a crush on her and chased after her all gave up on her because of her indifference. But Cristofer was an exception for her. When he confessed his love to her and asked her to be his girlfriend, she agreed. At that time, she had no feelings for him. It was just because he was the only one who was up to all her standards of choosing a boyfriend that she agreed to be with him. After they were together, Cristofer was considerate and treated her very well. Besides, the Hans family and the Hudson family were in a good relationship, and her parents thought highly of Cristofer. Then she gradually accepted him and fell in love with him. “Estelle, now you’ve got a chance to make a choice again,” Mr. Mysterious said in a deep voice. Estelle frowned and said, “Mr. Mysterious, I don’t understand what you mean.” “I mean...” Mr. Mysterious didn’t finish his words. Instead, he suddenly approached her, covering her eyes with his big hand for fear that she saw his face. Everything went black before Estelle’s eyes, and her other senses grew more acute in darkness. The pleasant smell of Mr. Mysterious’ cologne became strong, and she could feel his hot breath on her face. “Estelle, I’m chasing you,” Mr. Mysterious said. Estelle was totally stunned. “Chasing me? But... Sir, you have your beloved woman, don’t you? Why do you pursue me? Is it because I’m similar to her?” “Not exactly,” Mr. Mysterious said softly, still covering her eyes. “I used to think that I wanted to get close to you and help you because you two are similar. But after knowing more about you these days, I find that you are very different from her.” “Sir…” “Hush, don’t say anything. Let me finish my words first,” Mr. Mysterious interrupted her and then continued, “Estelle, have a baby with me.” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing that, Estelle stiffened and was shocked. Mr. Mysterious continued, “Somehow, after seeing your daughter, I want a child, a child of you and me.” “... Sir, are you drunk?” Estelle asked in embarrassment. “Maybe,” Mr. Mysterious said with a gentle smile. “Whether I’m drunk or not, I know what I’m saying. Estelle, you may consider being with me. I will take care of you, your mother, and your daughter. And I will help you get back everything the Hudson family owned. I will get justice for all the grievances you have suffered.” **** It was sunny on the second day. Estelle made chicken soup before going to the hospital to visit Aurora. They hadn’t seen each other for three days. When she got to Aurora’s ward, she happened to hear Aurora talking to the nurse. Aurora, who looked much better than before, said happily to the nurse, “My daughter is very capable and smart. She skipped a grade before going to university and majored in jewellery design at the best university in our country.” “Mrs. Hudson, your daughter is so excellent. I think there are not many men well-matched with her. Has she had a boyfriend?” The nurse asked enthusiastically. Aurora laughed and said, “She’s been married! My son-in-law is handsome and more capable than her. Most importantly, he treats my daughter very well. To be honest, I don’t care how rich my son- in-law is. As long as he can take good care of my daughter, I’ll be satisfied.” “Your daughter is so lucky to have such a good husband,” The nurse said with a smile. “Yes. And I have a granddaughter now! I wish I could be discharged soon and go to see her!” Aurora said. Then, Estelle pushed the door open and walked in. “Mom, how are you feeling now?” Seeing Estelle coming, Aurora beamed and said, “I feel much better. Well, didn’t you say that you would bring my granddaughter here? Why didn’t you bring her with you?” Estelle put the lunch box on the table and ladled out some soup as she said, “It’s not convenient to

take her to the hospital. You’ll see her when you recover and are discharged.” Aurora thought that her words made sense and nodded. Then she said, “You are right. The baby has just been born and is still very fragile now. She’d better stay at home. All right. When I’m discharged from the hospital, I’ll go to see her immediately. I’ll take care of her every day.” “I’m afraid you’ll be tired of looking after her.” “How is it possible? I love my granddaughter dearly and will never be tired of her,” Aurora said and took Estelle’s hand, motioning her to sit down. “Estelle, you’ve just given birth to the baby for a few days and are still weak. You don’t need to come here to take care of me. I’m much better now. Just stay at home and have a good rest.” Hearing that, Estelle nodded without saying anything. “By the way, I must remind you that you’d better not... have sex with Cristofer since you are still weak. It’s not good for your health,” Aurora reminded her. “Mom, don’t talk about it here...” Estelle said with an embarrassed look. “Don’t be so shy. I’m serious. You must take good care of yourself during the postpartum recovery period. When Yvonne gets older, I’ll help you look after her. By the way, it will be better if you and Cristofer can have more children,” Aurora chuckled, looking happy while teasing her daughter. Estelle forced a smile and changed the topic. “Mom, have some soup.” Aurora asked, “Did you quarrel with Cristofer?” “No…” Estelle said in a low voice. “Don’t lie to me. There must be something wrong between you two. When Cristofer came here before, you were treating him indifferently,” Aurora sighed and persuaded her, “Estelle, after all, Cristofer’ parents died because your father...” “Mom!” Estelle interrupted her. “I... I’m going downstairs to pay for the medical fees. Drink the soup while it’s warm. I’ll be back soon.” Then she picked up her phone, walked out of the ward, and went downstairs quickly. The car accident six years ago was like a taboo for her. Every time it was mentioned, she would feel extremely painful and angry. ‘Why does everyone think Dad’s drunk driving caused the car accident?’

‘Gretchen is the culprit. She killed Dad and Cristofer’ parents! Dad is innocent!’ ‘Due to the car accident, I lost my father, who loved me dearly and everything in the Hudson family. My life was destroyed by it. I’m also a victim,’ Estelle thought, feeling aggrieved.
