HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 161: I Won't Disturb Her Anymore

‘Therefore, it must be because he doesn’t want to go on the blind dates that he wants to ask Estelle to pretend to be his girlfriend.’ ‘As for why he chose Estelle... It may be because Estelle is his subordinate, and he knew that she wouldn’t dare to disobey him.’ Thinking about his, Mrs. Roberts sighed and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss Hudson. I’m too irrational when it comes to matters about Tim.” “It’s okay,” Estelle smiled and said gently. “I’m also a mother, and I can understand how you feel. But Mrs. Roberts, I think you’d better not keep pushing him. Why don’t you have a good talk with him about your thoughts?” Hearing this, Mrs. Roberts sighed and shook her head. “It’s no use talking with him. We’ve talked countless times. He just doesn’t want to get married, and I can’t persuade him.” Estelle then didn’t say anything more. After all, she had no right to interfere with others’ family affairs. Although she had clarified her relationship with Tim, Mrs. Roberts still didn’t change her mind. “Miss Hudson, please take this check. I know Tim may not really like you, but as long as you are still working here, he will still use you as an excuse and not be willing to have a good talk with me. Just take this as my compensation for losing your job.” The smile on Estelle’s face froze. “Mrs. Roberts, do you still want me to resign?” “Yes. I’m sorry,” Mrs. Roberts said. Estelle took a deep breath and said, “I see. After I finish the cases I’m in charge of, I will resign and go abroad with my children. Is it okay?” Mrs. Roberts didn’t expect Estelle to agree to her request so promptly, and she was stunned. “Miss Hudson, thank you so much. And I’m really sorry. If you need any help in the future, just let me know, and I promise I will try my best to help you,” She said gratefully. “Well, I do have a favor to ask now.” “Go ahead.” “You have investigated my family background and should know that my father died in a car accident

six years ago. Actually, the car accident was not an accident. I’m sure that someone staged the car accident, but I don’t have evidence,” Estelle stated. Mrs. Roberts was a little astonished. She sat up straight and asked with a serious look, “So, Miss Hudson, what can I do for you?” “I want to find the car that my father drove in the accident.” “Okay. I will try my best to find the car. But so many years have passed, and I can’t guarantee that I can find it,” Mrs. Roberts instantly explained. “I know, Mrs. Roberts. I’m already very grateful that you are willing to help me,” Estelle smiled at her. “Okay. I’ll set out to do it right now. I’ll call you if there is any update.” “Thank you.” **** In Williams’ Residence, Gary was sitting in the living room with a serious expression when the door was pushed open, and Cristofer came in, looking very tired. “Where did you go last night?” Gary asked in a deep voice. It was not until then that Cristofer saw Gary, and he was a little stunned. He slowly closed the door and said, “Grandpa, I’m back.” “Answer my question. Where did you go last night? Did you go to Gretchen’s place again?” “No,” Cristofer replied to him. “I had something else to deal with last night.” At the mention of Gretchen, Gary’s face turned livid with anger, and he said, “Cristofer, you are always a well-behaved person, and both your parents and I used to be so proud of you. But why... Why are you together with Gretchen? Do you know what she had done before? The dirty deeds that she did in the past hit the headlines today. It’s so unbelievable that you want to divorce Estelle for such a woman!” Cristofer rubbed his temples wearily, walked slowly to the sofa, and sat down. “I know everything she did before.” “You know everything? Since you know that, why are you still...” “Grandpa,” Cristofer interrupted him and said. “I can’t let go of my parent’s death.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Was it Estelle who caused their death?” “No, it was her father, George, who drove under the influence of alcohol and caused the accident,” Cristofer said. “After the accident, Estelle left me and went abroad when I was in the most painful and hardest time. I thought she abandoned me, so I greatly hated her.” “Do you still hate her now?” Gary asked. Cristofer shook his head and said, “No. Grandpa, it’s meaningless to talk about this now.” “What do you mean?” “I can’t get over her,” Cristofer said as he covered his face with his hands in pain. “But I don’t have the nerve to see her anymore.” Seeing him so painful, Gary, who had been angry, didn’t have the heart to blame him anymore. He patted Cristofer's back gently and said lovingly, “Cristofer, everyone should take the consequences of their mistakes. It’s useless to escape. You can’t turn the clock back but can do something to compensate for your actions. If you still love Estelle, try your best to get back together with her!” “It’s too late,” Cristofer shook his head and said. “Grandpa, she has started a new relationship with someone else.” “Who is she with now?” “I don’t know,” Cristofer said with a sigh and sank into the sofa dejectedly. “Grandpa, Estelle may not be able to live long. I just hope that she can be happy in her last days. And I won’t disturb her anymore.” “What do you mean by that?” Gary asked in shock. “She had advanced lung cancer.” “What?” Gary’s eyes widened in disbelief. “She said that she didn’t want to see me anymore. That’s her greatest wish. I wasn’t there for her when she was in her darkest time before, and now... Now what I can do is not to make her unhappy. She has suffered a lot since she married me. I hope that she can live a life that she wants to live in the future.” Hearing this, Gary fell into silence.

The living room was very quiet, and only the ticking of the clock could be heard. After a long time, Gary sighed with pity and asked, “Then what are you going to do with Gretchen? Her scandals have been known to all, and now she is pregnant with your child.” At the mention of this, Cristofer's face turned pale. He thought that he should have found that there was something wrong with Gretchen when he smelled the strange fragrance in the apartment that day. “Cristofer, are you sure the baby that she’s pregnant with is yours?” Gary asked.
