Chapter 199: Her Wishes
‘To be exact, Mr. Mysterious is twenty-nine years and seven months old. He and Cristofer are twin
brothers, and they were born on the same day,’ Estelle thought.
“Auntie Aurora, there’s no need to worry. Estelle’s new boyfriend genuinely loves her and treats her
well. I must admit, I’m quite envious of Estelle,” Reba said with a smile, giving Estelle a yful
wink.
Hearing this, Aurora chuckled. “Why do you envy Estelle? Don’t you also have a boyfriend who
loves you very much now?”
Reba’s eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, “Auntie Aurora, how did you know that? Did
Estelle tell you?”
Aurora then pointed at Reba’s cor.
Reba wore a V-neck white sweater today. Just now, she ran with Estelle to follow Gretchen and
Melody. Therefore, her cor was a little askew at this moment, revealing the love bites on her
chest.
Lowering her head, Reba was surprised when she saw the love bites. She hurriedly covered her
chest and said, “These are mosquito bites!”
Seeing Reba’s bashful expression, Aurora nodded with a meaningful smile. Then she said
gently, “You’d better not use concealer to cover it. Wear more breathable clothes these days. This
sweater is beautiful, but it’s not breathable. And it may take longer for the bites to fade if you wear
it.”
Reba blushed and muttered, “I will teach him a lesson the next time I see him.”
At this time, Yohan leaned over and asked with a curious look, “Auntie Reba, why did the
mosquito only bite your chest?”
As she gently touched Yohan''s cheek, Reba expressed, “That mosquito is the absolute worst
person in the entire universe!”
“Don’t be angry, Auntie Reba. I’ll tell Dad to beat the bad guy that bullied you!”
Reba then sighed with emotion and said, “Estelle, if I could also have such a cute child as Yohan
after getting married, I might consider getting married soon.”
With Yohan and Reba’s presence, the atmosphere in the ward became vibrant and filled with
laughter. It had been a while since Aurora felt such genuine happiness, and she cherished every
moment of it.
In the evening, Aurora advised Estelle, “You can go back with the children. I noticed a young man
pacing in the corridor. He’s waiting for you, isn’t he? Don’t keep him waiting. Estelle, regardless of
our family’s current circumstances, always remember what your father taught you. Everyone is
equal. There is no inherent lowliness or nobility. As long as your boyfriend is a kind person, he
deserves to be cherished and treated well.”
“I understand, Mom,” Estelle acknowledged, nodding.
“When you have the opportunity, bring the children to visit your father’s and their grandparents’
graves,” Aurora added.
“Okay.”

When Estelle came out of the ward, Ron approached her and said with a gentle smile, “Miss
Hudson, are you going back home?”
“Yes. I’m sorry to keep you waiting for so long.”
Ron then said with a brighter smile, “Miss Hudson, as long as you are happy, it doesn’t matter how
long I wait.”
As soon as he finished his words, he felt that something was wrong.
Squinting at him, Reba asked with a meaningful look, “Ron, do you know what you are saying?”
Ron blushed and swiftly rified, “Miss Miller, you’ve misunderstood me. Mr. Mysterious has faced
numerous challenges over the years, and the only person who can bring him happiness is Miss
Hudson. When Miss Hudson is in good spirits, Mr. Mysterious also experiences joy. I spoke those
words earlier because I am genuinely happy for Mr. Mysterious, knowing that he can finally lead a
contented life.”
Reba touched her chin in contemtion and nodded, saying, “Ah, that makes more sense.”
Hearing their conversation, Estelle couldn’t help butugh and suggested, “Well, let’s go. Ron,
please drive Reba home first and then take me and the children back home.” From N?velDrama.Org.

In the car, Reba took out two tickets from her handbag and handed them to Estelle. “Oh, I
almost forgot to give them to you.”
“These are... the tickets to Howards’ concert?”
Reba nodded earnestly and added, “Howard gave me a few tickets to his concert. They’re quite
sought after and not easy toe by. These tickets are for the stall area, each worth thousands of
dors. If you and Mr. Mysterious have some free time, you should consider attending the concert
together. Going to a concert as a couple can be a romantic experience.”
Hearing Reba’s suggestion, Estelle raised an eyebrow and reflected, “In the past, I had always
yearned to attend a concert. However, at that time, I was preupied with my studies and never
found the opportunity. Subsequently, various unexpected events unfolded in my life, leaving me
feeling disoriented and disinterested in attending concerts. I recall during my youth, Ipiled a
wish list, and going to a concert was one of the aspirations I hoped to fulfill after graduating. It may
sound somewhat childish now, doesn’t it?”
“A wish list?” Reba echoed with curiosity.
“Yes,” Estelle confirmed. “I had numerous desires and dreams during those carefree and naive
days. Ipiled a list of things I wanted to experience and achieve. However, as life unfolded and
taught me its lessons, I became more grounded and realistic. Now, those childhood wishes no
longer hold the same appeal to me.”
“You’re only twenty-six years old, and youth is still on your side,” Reba reassured with a smile.
“You have plenty of time to fulfill your future wishes. Speaking of which, what other aspirations do
you have besides going to the concert?”

“Go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise and sunset.”
“Keep a puppy. Any breed is okay as long as it is healthy.”
“Buy a big house with a garden with my own money and nt Mom’s favorite sunflowers in the
garden.”
“Buy a new car for Dad. His car is too old now, but he is always too frugal and is reluctant to buy a
new one.”
“Acquire culinary skills and prepare delicious meals with impable appearance, delightful
fragrance, and exquisite vor exclusively for Cristofer on a daily basis.”
“Enjoy the spectacle of gazing at stars throughout the night from the Ferris wheel. I find that the
stars be more vivid and easier to observe when they reach their highest point in the sky.”
“P.S. It would be most delightful if I could have the opportunity to watch the stars on the Ferris wheel
alongside Cristofer. I hope that Cristofer knows my birthday wish for this year.”
“I hope I can see snow in Hadale.”
Holding a notebook in her hand, Gretchen perused the wishes one by one and couldn’t help but
smirk, uttering in a chilly tone, “In Hadale, even during the coldest time of the year, the temperature
never drops below fifteen degrees Celsius. How could it possibly snow? Is she out of her mind?”
