Chapter 198: Mom, I''ve Never Lied To You


    Reba ced a hand over her chest and let out a sigh, expressing her sentiments. “I have


    witnessed nearly everything that unfolded between you and Cristofer over these years. Back in high


    school, the two of you were such an ideal couple that we all felt envious. However, within just a few


    years, your marriage ended in divorce. It’s truly a sorrowful tale.”


    “Maybe it’s fate. Cristofer and I are destined to break up,” Estelle said softly.


    “It appears that you are destined to marry into the Hans family. First, you divorced Cristofer, and


    now you are with Mr. Mysterious,” remarked Reba. “By the way, Estelle, were you taken aback


    when you saw Mr. Mysterious’ face? Now that you will see him daily, will it make you ufortable


    to encounter a face resembling Cristofer?”


    Upon hearing Reba’s question, Estelle shook her head and replied, “No. Despite their


    resemnce, they are distinct individuals. Mr. Mysterious is Mr. Mysterious; he is not Cristofer.”


    Reba acknowledged Estelle’s response with a nod.


    Estelle continued, “Mr. Mysterious assured me that he would never deceive me. He arranged for


    Justin to pose as him and take care of me during that time. Justin mirrored him in every way. If he


    wanted to hide his true identity, he could have lied and imed to be Justin. However, he chose not


    to do so. Since then, I have ced a great deal of trust in him. So, when I asked him if he was


    Cristofer and he denied it, I made the decision to believe him.”


    Reba let out a sigh and remarked, “But at the end of the day, he and Cristofer are twins. There


    are bound to be numerous simrities between them, right?”


    “Well, I haven’t discovered their simrities thus far,” Estelle replied.


    She then shifted the conversation and inquired, “Reba, did you truly end things with Justin?”


    “Yes, I no longer wish to be under his control,” Reba responded.


    “He agreed to the breakup?” Estelle asked.


    “He doesn’t have the time to deal with our rtionship now,” Reba replied. “Tim and their mother


    have been engaging in intense argumentstely. Justin has to intervene and mediate between them


    from time to time. It’s a relief that he’s preupied. I can enjoy a peaceful life these days.”


    “Did Tim’s argument with his mother stem from the blind date?” Estelle inquired.


    “Yes, how did you know that?” Reba asked, blinking her eyes in confusion. “Did Tim mention it to


    you?”


    “Yes, but he didn’t provide more details. Mrs. Roberts actually came to Only Love Jewelry and


    pressured him into going on the blind date,” Estelle revealed.


    “It can be said that Tim and I are fellow sufferers,” Reba smiled helplessly and said. “Both of us


    are forced to get married soon and are almost driven mad because of this. I heard that Tim’s mother


    introduced the daughter of a director of Roberts Real Estate Group to him.”


    “That girl developed feelings for him and even traveled abroad to see him. However, Tim didn’t


    respond favorably to her advances. Feeling hurt, the girlined to Mrs. Roberts upon her


    return. Mrs. Roberts believed that Tim had crossed a line and demanded that he apologize to the


    girl. This led to Tim losing his temper and engaging in a heated argument with his mother,” Reba


    exined.


    Estelle contemted the situation and realized, ‘No wonder Tim still expressed interest in being my


    boyfriend after he returned from abroad. It appears that Mrs. Roberts didn’t have a productive


    conversation with him at all.’


    “In reality, Estelle, you and Tim are well-suited for each other. Both of you are jewelry designers and


    would have plenty of shared interests. Tim is someone who strives for excellence in everything he


    does, and you are the only female designer he truly admires. If you were to be with Tim, the Roberts


    family would support you, and it would facilitate the process of reiming your father’spany,”


    Reba suggested.


    “But I am already in a rtionship with Mr. Mysterious,” Estelle replied.


    “I understand. I must say that Tim isn’t fortunate enough. The only female he truly admires already


    has a boyfriend. Haha,” Reba remarked with a hint of amusement.


    The two of them continued chatting as they made their way back to Aurora’s ward.


    Outside the ward, Ron anxiously awaited Estelle’s return. As soon as he spotted her, he promptly


    reported to Mr. Mysterious on the phone.


    “Sir, Miss Hudson has returned. She appears in good spirits and engages in a pleasant


    conversation with Miss Miller.”


    “Alright. Keep her safe.”


    “I understand. Please rest assured. I will ensure her safe return,” Ron assured Mr. Mysterious.


    After hanging up the phone, Ron trotted over and said, “I’m sorry, Miss Hudson. I went to fetch the


    gifts for Mrs. Hudson prepared by Mr. Mysterious just now. It’s my fault that I didn’t guard here all


    the time.”


    Hearing this, Estelle hurriedly said, “No, no, no. You did nothing wrong. I went downstairs with


    Reba to have a chat just now. I’ll exin to Mr. Mysterious and ask him not to me you.”


    With his head respectfully lowered, Ron conveyed, “Miss Hudson, Mr. Mysterious harbors his own


    concerns. He is deeply worried about you.”


    “I understand,” Estelle nodded in acknowledgment.


    “I will wait by the ward’s entrance and remain there, not straying far,” Ron assured Estelle.


    “Okay.”


    Estelle took out her phone and texted Mr. Mysterious.


    ‘I’ve been back to the ward with Reba. We are safe and sound. Don’t me Ron.’


    Mr. Mysterious replied in a second.


    ‘I didn’t me him. I bought some gifts for your mother. Sorry that I can’t go to visit her in person


    now.’


    ‘It doesn’t matter. I quite understand you.’


    ‘Estelle, give me some more time. After I finish everything, I will take you and our children abroad


    and start a new life. Your mother can go abroad with us if she is willing to. By that time, we will


    never be bothered by anything here anymore.’


    ‘Okay.’


    ‘Wait for me. I promise it won’t be long. By the way, please tell your mother that I can’t visit her for


    the time being. I will exin everything to her in person in the future.’


    ‘Okay.’


    Estelle then put away her phone and walked into the ward with Reba.


    Yohan, who was the first one to see hering back, threw himself into her arms happily.


    “Mom, I miss you so much. Uncle Ron just brought a lot of gifts that Dad bought for Grandma!” At


    the mention of his Dad, Yohan was beaming with joy. “Grandma, I’ve told you that my Dad is a


    superhero. I didn’t lie to you, did I?”


    The sight of numerous gifts in the ward took Aurora aback. Upon seeing Estelle, she immediately


    inquired, “Estelle, the man you just mentioned... does he truly exist?”


    “Of course,” Estelle said and chuckled. “Mom, I’ve never lied to you.”


    “Then... Is he a young man?” Aurora asked.


    She had also read the news about Gretchen and learned that she was the mistress of many rich


    middle-aged men before. Therefore, she couldn’t help but worry that Estelle would go astray like


    Gretchen for the sake of money.


    Estelle smiled and said, “Yes, he is young and about thirty years old.”Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
