HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 118: Don't Mention It

“That’s different. ‘Sir’ sounds like we are intimate when it comes out of your mouth,” Mr. Mysterious said. Estelle blushed and nodded without saying anything. “Estelle, let’s not think about what happened during the day. Just let it go. Let’s enjoy the peace of the night, okay?” “Sir, you seem to wear too much cologne today. The smell of alcohol is a little strong,” Estelle said. Mr. Mysterious chuckled and said, “I’ll wear less perfume tomorrow.” “Well.” “Is Yvonne asleep?” “Yes. She’s recovering well,” Estelle nodded and said. “Sir, could you help me find the person that hurt Yvonne?” Mr. Mysterious hugged her and said, “Actually, you know who it is, don’t you?” “Yes.” “I know who it is, too. But we don’t have evidence now,” Mr. Mysterious sighed and said helplessly. “The Hans’ Residence is located in the suburb, and the nearest surveillance camera around it is at the intersection several hundred meters away. Many people and cars pass by there every day. It will take some time to find the evidence.” Hearing this, Estelle pushed him away gently and said, “You mean it will take a long time for me to get justice for my daughter? And if I can’t find evidence, I will never be able to bring Gretchen to justice, right?” Mr. Mysterious was silent. “Sir, you said you would avenge me and get me justice.” “Yes, I did.” “I just want Gretchen to get her just deserts! She killed Mrs. Moorsum, Cristofer's parents, and my dad. And she harmed my mother and my children. I’m really afraid that I won’t be able to avenge them before I die!” Estelle said with her voice trembling with anger. Hearing this, Mr. Mysterious took her hand, pressed it to his heart, and said sincerely, “Estelle,

believe me. I will help you get whatever you want.” “...” “Leave these things to me. You just need to live a happy life, just like the carefree Estelle you used to be.” “And then?” “Then... If possible, I hope you can give birth to a baby for me.” “But I don’t know how long I can live.” Estelle sighed and said. “It’s better if we can have a child. If we can’t, it doesn’t matter,” Mr. Mysterious said, gently carrying her in his arms and walking out of the ward. “Estelle, the weather is fine tonight. Let’s go to watch the stars.” As usual, when Estelle woke up in the morning, she was in bed, curling up and lying on her side with Yvonne sleeping soundly in her arms. She rubbed her nose, got up slowly, and opened the window to let the fresh air in. Last night, the smell of the cologne was so pungent that her nose still felt a little uncomfortable. She stood by the window for a while to dissipate the smell of cologne on her body. After all, Yvonne was still young, and the pungent smell was not good for her health. Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and someone called her. When Estelle saw the caller ID on the screen, she was not surprised. She answered the phone and said softly, “Hi, Mr. Roberts.” Justin seemed to be driving and was in a good mood. “Miss Hudson, did you have a good sleep last night?” Last night, she fell asleep in his arms while looking at the stars and slept soundly all night. “Yes. I slept well,” Estelle answered. Justin chuckled and said, “That’s good. Good sleep can help you recover faster.” “Mr. Roberts, what about you?” Estelle asked softly. “I also had a very good sleep. Miss Hudson, last night, when I looked at the starry sky, I suddenly thought of something. Do you have any ideas about the jewelry I asked you to design?” His sudden change of topic made Estelle a little surprised.

‘Maybe he was afraid that I would ask about his identity, so he changed the topic,’ she thought. “In the daytime, he is Justin and my client. And only at night, he was nobody but Mr. Mysterious.’ ‘Since he’s my customer now, I should show a professional attitude and behave in a businesslike manner.’ “Mr. Roberts, could you describe the person whom you will give this set of jewelry? You may tell me her age, personality, identity, and what she likes so that I can customize the jewelry for her.” Justin thought awhile and said, “I don’t know what she likes. You can design as you like. You have good taste, and I believe she will like the jewelry you design.” Hearing this, Estelle was rendered speechless and didn’t know what to say. “Miss Hudson, there’s no hurry. I’m not urging you.” “Okay.” “Judging from your voice, I can tell that you are in good condition today. I’m relieved now.” “Yes, I’m fine,” Estelle said. “It’s good. Call me if you need anything.” “Okay.” “Bye.” “See you tonight,” Estelle blurted out subconsciously. When she realized what she had said, she was a little remorseful. ‘Justin has never admitted that he was Mr. Mysterious. It’s in the daytime now, and he’s not Mr. Mysterious but Justin. Estelle, what’s wrong with you? You put your foot in your mouth again.’ “I’m sorry, Mr. Roberts,” she said apologetically. Justin chuckled and said, “It doesn’t matter. I know what you mean. You can say whatever you want.” “Thank you.” “Don’t mention it.” “By the way, Mr. Roberts, you don’t have to wear too much cologne. The perfume smells best when its scent is faint.” Justin smiled and said, “Okay. I see.”

After Estelle hung up the phone, her mind was in a mess. She didn’t want to dig into the reason why Justin didn’t want to admit that he was Mr. Mysterious. But she felt a little upset about the past between him and Rebecca. However, such a feeling didn’t last long because Rebecca brought her boyfriend to see her that afternoon. When Estelle saw Rebecca’s so-called boyfriend, she was stunned. “Is he really your boyfriend?” she asked Rebecca in surprise. With a big smile on her face, Rebecca took the man’s arm and said happily, “Yes. It’s a surprise, huh?” ‘It’s a surprise, but not necessarily a pleasant one,’ Estelle thought. The man in front of her was no other than a popular star named Howard. In fact, Estelle had been busy every day and had no time to pay much attention to the entertainment circle, so she didn’t know many popular stars. However, Howard was among the few stars she knew because there was always much gossip about him, and she could frequently see the news about him. Almost every month, he would be photographed by paparazzi when he dated. And every time he was photographed, his date was different. Estelle didn’t know if Howard was an actor or a singer, but she knew he was unreliable and a playboy.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
