MasukIt was not until then that Estelle suddenly realized that the man in front of her was Cristofer, not Mr. Mysterious.Feeling awkward, she said, “I guessed it.”“Was Mr. Mysterious’ arm also injured before?” Cristofer saw through her and asked, “Did he get injured in his left arm or right arm?”“Left arm.”“What a coincidence. I was also injured in the left arm,” Cristofer said, “How did he get injured?”“He didn’t tell me,” Estelle shook her head and answered.“Hmm.”“What about you? How did you injure your arm?” Estelle asked.“I had a car accident before,” Cristofer said, “After you went abroad, I had a serious car accident, and my arm was injured.”Estelle nodded, thinking, ‘It sounds that your injury is not as serious as that of Mr. Mysterious.’She had secretly checked Mr. Mysterious’ arm once. His forearm had been deformed, and it seemed that it had been hit by something hard.But until now, she still didn’t know what exactly happened to Mr. Mysterious’ arm that it looked so hor
Only then did Estelle realize she had hastily left without returning the cardigan to Cristofer.“Yes,” she answered.“Where is he now?” Aurora asked.“He drove me to the gate of the hotel. Now, he may have been back home.”Ding-dong! Ding-dong!Suddenly, the doorbell rang.Then Yvonne shouted excitedly, “It’s Mom! Mom is back!”In the living room, the two children rushed to open the door.“Dad!” Yohan said in surprise when he saw Cristofer, “Dad, I miss you so much!”When Yvonne saw Cristofer, she hugged his legs and cried, “Dad, where is Mom? Why didn’t Mom come back with you? Did you fail to save her?”Cristofer, who also got wet all over, wanted to pick her up and soothe her, but he was afraid that the rainwater would stain her beautiful dress, so he just gently touched her cute face and said, “Don’t cry. I saved your Mom.”Hearing this, Yvonne looked around, murmuring, “Mom... Mom is not here...”Listening to Yvonne’s anxious voice, Estelle couldn’t sit still any longer. She opene
After saying that, Cristofer pressed the cardigan into Estelle’s arms, put his hand back on the steering wheel, and focused on driving.Holding the cardigan in her arms, Estelle sighed and said, “You... I heard from Eva that you work very hard and often work through the night for consecutive days. This is not good for your health. Besides, you’re already wealthy. Don’t make yourself a working machine.”“Star, are you worried about me?” Cristofer asked.“I...” Estelle frowned and said, “No matter what, I hope you can live well. After all, you’re Yohan and Yvonne’s father. Well, don’t get me wrong. I’ve already gotten over you, Cristofer. Our relationship ended three years ago.”“I see,” Cristofer nodded and said, looking ahead and focusing on driving.“I will try my best to cooperate with you and act in front of Grandpa Gary. I also hope that he can spend his remaining years in comfort.”“Okay.”“By the way... Did you really break up with Miss Wilson?” Estelle asked.Hearing this, Cris
Estelle felt a bit embarrassed as she looked at the jacket in his hand. “But...”“I’ve just wrung it out. You can use it to shield yourself from the wind. The temperature in the suburbs is lower than in the city. I’d feel responsible if you caught a cold.”Estelle shook her head and declined his offer. “No, thank you.”“Do you dislike me?” Tim inquired.“No, it’s just that... it doesn’t feel right for me to wear it,” Estelle replied.She was aware of Tim’s feelings for her, but she didn’t share those romantic sentiments and didn’t want any romantic involvement with him. Worried that accepting his jacket might give him the wrong impression, she decided to decline.Upon hearing her response, Tim sneered and remarked, “Are you worried that Mr. Mysterious would be displeased if he found out in heaven?”Estelle remained silent.“Come on, don’t be so old-fashioned. Do you plan to stay single forever? Don’t you want to get married again someday?” Tim prodded.“No, I won’t,” Estelle asserted,
In the garage, Cristofer started the car and drove away quickly.“Did he actually jump off the building?” he asked.“Yes,” Aurora said, “Estelle was taken to the police station and hasn’t come back. I called her but couldn’t reach her. Cristofer, I have to take care of the two children, and it’s inconvenient for me to go out now. Could you please go to the police station to see if Estelle is all right? She is afraid of thunder the most...”“Okay. I’m on my way there. Don’t worry, Auntie Aurora. If she is in the police station, she should be safe and sound. I’ll pick her up now,” Cristofer assured her.“Thank you, Cristofer. Estelle is terribly frightened of thunder. I’m really concerned about her,” Aurora expressed anxiously.“I’m aware. She’s had that fear since childhood,” Cristofer responded.“It’s not the same,” Aurora replied in a tearful tone. “In the past, when it thundered, she wouldn’t be afraid as long as someone was there with her. But in the last three years, whenever ther
“You don’t even know her name. Then why are you so sad?”Estelle slowly lifted her head, her long hair soaked by the rain, with a few strands clinging to her face.“Mr. Roberts, please promise to keep today’s events a secret for me, okay?”“Are you feeling cold?” Tim ignored her request and asked about her well-being.“Promise me.”“Are you feeling cold?”“... Yes.”Staring at her, Tim assured, “You can trust me. I’m not one to gossip. I’ll keep your secret safe. There’s a little store just over there. I’ll go get some hot drinks. Stay here and wait for me, okay?”Estelle, now composed, nodded slightly in agreement.After glancing at her with concern, Tim hurried out into the rain.Tim purchased some snacks and gave the shopkeeper extra money, requesting the bottle be filled with hot water.Exiting the store, he spotted Estelle standing beneath a nearby rain shelter, her back turned to him. Estelle had removed her wet suit jacket, and her white shirt clung to her slender frame. It wa
