Chapter 108: Is Mr. Mysterious Really Justin?
Estelle shook her head and frowned. The truth about Mr. Mysterious’ identity came out so suddenly that she couldn’t believe it. ‘Is Mr. Mysterious really Justin?’ ‘Since he still loves Rebecca deeply, why doesn’t he try to win her heart again but come to me instead?’ Rebecca continued, “Estelle, I guess that he doesn’t tell you who he is because he’s afraid that you will refuse him if you know he’s my ex-boyfriend. He doesn’t want you to have any psychological burden.” “Rebecca, do you... Do you still love him?” Estelle asked. “I’ve got over him for a long time,” Rebecca said, patting her thigh emotionally. “Humph. I won’t remember that he deliberately showed how lovey-dovey he and his girlfriend were in front of me before. I should have taught him a lesson at that time.” Estelle fell into silence again. ‘If Mr. Mysterious is Justin, then according to what he told me, he should still be loving Rebecca.’ ‘Maybe he deliberately showed how lovey-dovey he and his girlfriend were in front of her just because he was hurt after being dumped by Rebecca.’ ‘He thought Rebecca still loved him and would return to him. However, Rebecca has never contacted him again since then, so he was in a blue period these years.’ For the whole afternoon, Estelle’s mind was in turmoil. In the evening, Rebecca bought some food for herself and then went home in a hurry after receiving a call from her family. Then there were only Estelle and Yvonne in the big and quiet ward. While Estelle was in a daze, her phone suddenly rang, and a message from Mr. Mysterious came. ‘Rebecca has left?’ If it were in the past, Estelle wouldn’t think that Mr. Mysterious sent the message because he was concerned about her and worried that she would feel lonely after Rebecca left. But after knowing his identity and his relationship with Rebecca, she had a strange feeling whenProperty of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
reading the message. ‘Yes, she has left. Her parents urged her to go back for dinner.’ She replied to the message. Mr. Mysterious then texted her again. ‘Her parents are always very strict with her and don’t allow her to go back home late. It doesn’t matter. I’ll go to the hospital and stay with you tonight.’ ‘Sir, you seem to know Rebecca well, don’t you?’ ‘Why do you suddenly ask this? What’s the matter?’ ‘Nothing.’ ‘I know a bit about her and her family. After all, the Miller family is also famous in Hadale. It’s normal that I know that. Don’t take this the wrong way.’ Estelle couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Somehow, she felt as if she was a bad woman who had taken Justin away from Rebecca. And meanwhile, she felt sorry for Justin and Rebecca when thinking about their story. Rebecca was reckless when she was young. To adopt a child who committed suicide many times due to campus violence, she married someone else without telling Justin. Justin thought that Rebecca abandoned him and did something to hurt her because of anger. Then the two of them broke up with each other and never contacted each other again for so many years. Estelle thought that she should tell Mr. Mysterious why Rebecca married another person back then. She wouldn’t interfere with it no matter what he would do after knowing that. Estelle didn’t receive a message from Mr. Mysterious again until it was dark outside. ‘Estelle, turn off the lights.’ Estelle drew the curtains and turned off the light. Then she groped for the knob in the darkness and opened the door, just like what she had done yesterday, The moment the door was opened, she was greeted with a warm embrace from Mr. Mysterious. “Estelle, did you miss me?” Mr. Mysterious asked with his voice full of happiness, seeming to be in a good mood. Estelle didn’t respond to him. “Estelle? Did you hear me?”
“Well, yes. I miss you,” Estelle said. “I miss you too,” Mr. Mysterious said as he hugged her more tightly. “I’ve never looked forward to the coming of the night so much. In the past, I would feel lonely and depressed at night. But now I won’t. I like the night most and enjoy it because I can come to see you at night.” Hearing this, Estelle didn’t say anything or move and just let him hug her this way. Noticing there was something wrong with her, Mr. Mysterious gazed at her and asked gently, “Estelle, what’s wrong with you?” “Sir, may I ask you a question?” “Yes. Go ahead.” “Do you think... I’m similar to Rebecca?” Estelle ventured. She remembered that Mr. Mysterious once said that he helped her because she was very similar to his beloved woman. She held her breath and waited for his answer nervously as her heart beat faster. Hearing her question, Mr. Mysterious chuckled and said, “Why do you suddenly ask about this? Let me see... Both you and Rebecca are very kind and enthusiastic. You are similar in these qualities.” “...” “But your appearances and characters are quite different. Rebecca is lively and freewheeling, while you are quiet and gentle. Rebecca has an oval face, while you have a heart-shaped face,” Mr. Mysterious said and sighed. “Did Rebecca tell you anything?” Estelle shook her head and said, “No. I was just asking casually. It is said that birds of a feather flock together, so I was wondering if I am similar to Rebecca.” Mr. Mysterious nodded. “Although sometimes Rebecca is a little slapdash and impulsive, she’s a good and caring woman. This morning, I sent her a message and asked her to come here earlier to keep you company. She always likes sleeping late but still rushed here immediately after receiving the message. She’s good to her friends.” “Yes, Rebecca is a good woman. And she ... deserves to be loved and treated well,” Estelle said. Mr. Mysterious said, “Yes. But everyone has their own fate. A good person who deserves to be loved can’t always be together with their beloved one. Sometimes fate plays tricks on people.” Hearing this, Estelle broke free from his arms and said in a low voice with her head lowered, “Sir, I
have something to tell you.” “Well, go ahead.” “Rebecca got married before because of a little girl who suffered from campus violence. Back then, she wanted to adopt the little girl. But according to the rules, only couples could adopt children. Therefore, she had no choice but to marry a volunteer at the adoption centre. But their marriage was a fictitious one. After adopting the little girl, she got divorced,” Estelle said. Hearing this, Mr. Mysterious held her in his arms again and gently stroked her long hair, saying, “I know what you’re thinking. You think I’m Justin, right?” Estelle was stunned. “So... Are you Justin?” she asked.
