HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 31: Let's Go To Bed

After spitting these words, she realized that sharing such an unfortunate disaster was inappropriate, so she quickly explained, “I hope that all the good people can be safe and well.” The man sat in the shadow with his long legs crossed, and Estelle couldn’t see his expression. “I’m a good man?” He nonchalantly asked. “Yes, you’re a good man.” “It seems that only children judge people in this way. Besides, I don’t think I’m a good person. I’ve done too many bad things.” “Different people have different opinions on a matter. I believe that no matter what you have done, you have your own reasons and standpoints.” The man chuckled. “Estelle, you are so...” “What?” “Nothing,” The man stopped smiling and said seriously. “I will hire medical experts from abroad to treat your mother. Don’t worry.” Estelle was overjoyed. “Really? Thank you, Sir.” The man suddenly turned around and fixed his eyes on her. Although Estelle couldn’t see his face clearly, she could still feel his burning gaze. She swallowed and felt a little uneasy, blushing with shyness. “Sir...” Estelle said with a hesitant look. The man, who seemed slightly drunk, asked in a lazy voice, “What do you want to ask about?” As he spoke, he slightly leaned over and approached Estelle. Somehow, when Estelle smelled the strong smell of alcohol and felt his hot breath, her mind went blank as if she was also drunk, and she froze. And she could sense his mixed emotions, such as regret, deep love, heartache, and annoyance altogether, flowing through his hot breath as it brushed her cheek. Suddenly, the man gently touched her face with his warm hands and then approached her slowly to kiss her. “Sir!” Estelle turned her face away at once to avoid his lips. “Sorry, I can’t do it.”

The man chuckled. Then he leaned against the backrest of the sofa as if he had lost all his strength. “The feeling is still not right.” Feeling? What feeling? Does he mean that the feelings of getting along with the girl and me he loves are different? Estelle thought in confusion. Then she said in a soft and low voice, “Sir, I’m sorry. I...” The man interrupted her and asked in a muffled voice, “Did I scare you?” “Sort of.” “Don’t be afraid. I will be good to you,” The man said, seeming to have sobered up a little. He took a deep breath and continued in a deep voice, “Do you want to take revenge?” “What?” Estelle was stunned. “Do you want revenge on your ex-husband who made you heartbroken, his mistress, and your cold- blooded Uncle who caused your mother’s serious illness?” Estelle did want to take revenge on them. Her mind was anxious, and she was afraid that she wouldn’t have much time to live, so she only hoped that she could settle her mother and two children first before she died. Besides, she had no money or power to take revenge on Cristofer and York at all. It occurred to Estelle that the day before she and Cristofer registered their marriage certificate, her father transferred half of his shares of the Hans Group and the Hudson Group to her. Since she had promised Cristofer that she would take back Hans Group and give it to Cristofer, she couldn’t break her promise. She decided that after she settled her mother and children, she would go to the Court and file a case to get back her shares and then transfer them to Cristofer. “Sir, I...” “If you have any worries, feel free to tell me. I will help you.” “I’m not worried. I just...” I just don’t know how long I can live. I may relapse and die at any time. She wanted to say but kept it to herself. The man turned his head and looked into her eyes. “You still love your ex-husband, right?” Estelle shook her head and said with a helpless smile, “Whether I love him doesn’t matter anymore.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Just thinking about how to survive makes me exhausted.” “Take your time. You don’t need to answer me now. Anyway, if you want to take revenge on them, just tell me, and I’ll help you,” The man urged her. After thinking for a while, he added, “Just take it as my gift for your twenty-six birthday.” “Sir.” “Huh?” In the darkness, Estelle tried to see his face clearly and asked, “Have we met each other before?” The man turned his face away and hid in the shadows. Then he said deeply, “Estelle, you’d better not ask too much about me.” “Well, I’m sorry.” “I’m sleepy. Let’s go to bed,” The man invited her. “Okay.” Then they went to the bedroom. Just like what they did last night, Estelle lay on her side on the bed, and the man lay quietly beside her. The two of them were so close to each other that Estelle could smell the pleasant smell of his cologne. “Estelle,” The man suddenly called her name. Estelle was startled. “Sir, what’s wrong?” “Stay by my side, and I’ll give you everything you want.” “I... I want my daughter,” Instead of answering him, she said these words. “I will help you get her back, but not now.” The man’s tone softened, and he said gently, “After all, Cristofer is her father. He won’t treat her badly.” “But Gretchen will!” Estelle said anxiously. “My son was born with septicemia because of her! I’m really afraid that she will hurt my daughter! Cristofer trusts her so much. I...” The man stiffened slightly, and he asked, “Is Cristofer your son’s father?” Estelle bit her lower lip and said nothing. After a few seconds, she asked, “Sir, does this question have anything to do with our deal?” “He isn’t?” The man then sneered and said, “It has nothing to do with our deal. I’m just curious.”

Estelle nodded. She didn’t want to reveal the information about Yohan to others. Yohan has gone back to Ameris and was taken care of by James. He deserves to have a good and happy life. The less he saw me and knew about Cristofer, the better. She only hoped that Yohan would never return to Hadale, the city that broke her heart, so her son wouldn’t know that his biological father abandoned his mother and married another woman. Thinking of this, she made up her mind and said to the man, “No, Cristofer is not my son’s father.” The man didn’t say anything. “Sir, please keep it a secret for me. My son has just undergone a stem cell transplant. I hope that he can grow up healthily and happily in Ameris. I don’t want him to be influenced by the relationship between Cristofer and me. Please?” The man remained silent. “As long as you keep it a secret, I can...” “What can you do?”
