HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 71: How Dare She

“There are only two possibilities,” Melody responded. “What are they?” Gretchen asked. “The first one is that Cristofer gave her the money as compensation for giving birth to a child for him. Or maybe he pitied her when he knew she was living a hard life, so...” “No, this is impossible. Cristofer still hates Estelle to the core. He told me that he hates being deceived the most. And until now, he still believes that Estelle deceived him back then. In this case, he couldn’t give her any penny,” Gretchen interrupted her mother. “Then it is likely that Estelle has a new boyfriend. If that’s the case, things will be more interesting. The man who bought Estelle the rings must be wealthy and may be in our circle. Let’s try to find out who the man is first and then tell Cristofer about it, making him think that Estelle cheated on him so that he will hate Estelle more and break off with her. And then you’ll be able to marry Cristofer as soon as possible.” Hearing the familiar voices, Estelle was shocked. She didn’t expect Gretchen and Melody to be in the private box next door. Meanwhile, a message from Mr. Mysterious came. ‘Did you hear that?’ Estelle replied to the message with her hands trembling. ‘Yes, I heard all that they talked about.’ ‘Do you hate them?’ ‘Yes!’ ‘Do you want to take revenge?’ Biting her lower lip, Estelle typed quickly. ‘Yes!’ ‘I’ll help you as long as you agree to be with me and have a baby with me.’ **** When Estelle came out of the private box and was about to leave the restaurant, the waiter stopped her and asked, “Miss, how about ordering something to eat? The lobsters are fresh today.” Estelle was absent-minded and didn’t answer her. All she could think about was the message from

Mr. Mysterious just now. ‘Mr. Mysterious asked me to be with him... But now I don’t even know who he is. He’s so mysterious and must have many secrets. As for him wanting to have a child with me, it is probably because I am similar to his beloved woman that he has such a thought. He may want to make up for his regrets about the past in this way.’ While she was lost in thought, her phone rang, and she received a call from a strange number. Looking at the caller ID, Estelle wondered, ‘Is it the hospital calling?’ Then she answered the phone, “Hi, this is Estelle.” “Estelle, where are you?” A man’s voice came from the other end of the line. “Cristofer? You changed your phone number?” Estelle’s eyes widened in surprise. “Why did you block me?” Cristofer asked. Estelle felt him ridiculous and said, “No, I didn’t. And I’ve been waiting for you to call me to go through the divorce procedures with you as soon as possible.” “Humph. Are you so eager to divorce me?” Cristofer snorted at the other end. “Yes, I’m so eager to get divorced, just like you were before. I believe that you can understand my feelings now. Are you free this afternoon? Let’s go through the divorce procedures today. It won’t take up too much of your time. It’s good for both of us to get divorced early.” After a long silence, Cristofer asked, “Where did you get the money?” “What money?” Cristofer said, “The money that you spent on the rings. Where did you get it? I know that York has frozen her accounts. Tell me who gave you the money to buy the diamond rings.” “I earned it by myself,” Estelle calmly answered. “Earn it by yourself? Estelle, I have never heard that such a job enables a person like you to earn so much money in less than half a month.” “That’s because you’re ignorant,” Estelle said bluntly. “Anyway, how much money I can earn has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business. Your dear Gretchen has been with you for six years and wants to marry you so much. You’d better get divorced as soon as possible and marry her.”

Cristofer said in a low voice, “I don’t need you to tell me when I should get divorced.” “But I no longer want to waste my time on this ridiculous marriage! I’m fed up with it,” Estelle hissed. “Then we won’t get divorced,” Cristofer said, “Estelle, I’m still your husband. I’ll give you half a million dollars. Return the money to your lover and break up with him.” Estelle retorted angrily, “Are you out of your mind?” “...” “Cristofer, don’t call me from now on if you don’t want to go through the divorce procedure. I don’t want to have any connection with you. So please behave yourself and don’t pester me anymore,” Estelle said, then hung up the phone. Cristofer was a little stunned by her behaviour and stared blankly at his phone screen. ‘Estelle hung up on me? How dare she!’ At this time, Vincent came in and asked, “Mr. Hans, what can I do for you?” Cristofer then put away his phone and tried to calm himself down. “Are there further developments in the investigation?” he asked. Vincent said, “We hadn’t found the car that your parents drove when they had the accident. Countless cars have been scrapped and sent to the scrapyard in recent years. And many of them have been recycled. So the chance of finding the car is slim.” “Got it.” Cristofer nodded and said. Although he was clear that it was unlikely to find the car, he still felt disappointed. The car accident was so tragic that it completely changed his life. His parents had passed away, and the woman he loved most was conspiring with her Uncle to occupy all his family’s properties. Previously, when he saw Estelle live a poor life, he thought that she deserved it. In his mind, Estelle deceived him for money and should get her comeuppance. And he couldn’t wait to divorce her and get rid of her. But somehow, when he saw Estelle buy the rings in the jewellery store that day, he couldn’t help wondering if she had a new boyfriend and then was overwhelmed by jealousy. ‘She had lied to me many times. She said that she had cancer but now looks fine and even has a new boyfriend. She said that she didn’t want to get divorced, but now her attitude toward me isContentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

totally different from before.’ ‘Is she so satisfied with that man that she can’t wait to divorce me?’ ‘She has pocketed everything from the Hans family but still greedily wants more. When she knew that she couldn’t deceive me anymore, she immediately looked for the next unlucky guy that she could swindle. What a ruthless woman!’
