HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 226: Mark My Words

Estelle couldn’t stand it anymore. Frowning, she stared at Tim and said, “Shut up!” “No. I haven’t finished yet!” Tim said, “Estelle, I’ve told you that according to your previous description of Mr. Mysterious, he is either Cristofer or Justin. There’s no other possibility! That Mr. Mysterious must have deceived you!” “That’s impossible. Mr. Mysterious will never lie to me,” Estelle argued. “You idiot. You’ve been gaslighted by him!” Tim said anxiously. “Mr. Roberts, I’ll be responsible for myself. I’m not a fool, and I have my own judgment on everything. Besides, I’m grateful to you for hiring me and offering me a high salary before. Without the job, I wouldn’t have got custody of my children. But this doesn’t mean you can interfere with my private life. I know better than anyone else what kind of person my lover is.” Tim’s anger grew deeper, his chest heaving with intensity. “Estelle, mark my words, you will come to regret this in the future. You nearly lost your life before due to your involvement with Cristofer, and yet you remain stubborn and foolish in matters of the heart. If you allow yourself to be hurt once more, I won’t be as compassionate and willing to help you again!” “That’s exactly what I want.” “You...” Tim was annoyed. “Mr. Roberts, thank you for coming here today. But I hope that you won’t come to me again,” Estelle declared. After she finished her words, Mr. Mysterious’ voice came from the other end of the line. And the anger in his tone had been replaced by worry and concern. “Did York bully you?” Estelle diverted her attention to the phone call and denied in a low voice, “No, he doesn’t dare to do anything to me now.” Hearing this, Mr. Mysterious chuckled, “You seem to be quite confident.” “Of course. Sir, thank you for teaching me the two tricks you taught me. Maybe the current predicament will become an important turning point for my plan.” “That’s good. Do whatever you want. I’ll be protecting you all the time. If you are in danger, I’ll show up and save you,” Mr. Mysterious replied to her in a low voice.

“But once you show up, Cristofer will...” “It’s okay. Nothing is more important than your safety,” Mr. Mysterious interrupted her and said. “Estelle put Tim on the phone. I have something to talk to him about.” Estelle was still worried, “Sir, you’d better not...” “Don’t worry. Trust me.” Mr. Mysterious’ husky and soothing voice came from the other end of the line. Hearing his voice, Estelle gradually calmed down. Then she handed the phone to Tim and said, “Mr. Roberts, Mr. Mysterious wants to talk to you.” “Okay. I’ve long wanted to talk with him,” Tim said, raising his eyebrows and taking the phone from Estelle’s hand. “Hi, this is Tim.” "…" “Do you know that Estelle’s company is more than ten million dollars in debt? If I hadn’t come here today, she would have been bullied by her Uncle and the people from the supplier! You...” Mr. Mysterious seemed to interrupt Tim and say something. Then Estelle saw the anger on Tim’s face turn to shock. Soon, Tim fell into a long silence. More than ten minutes later, Tim returned the phone to Estelle with a darkened face and looked at her with mixed feelings. Thousands of words rose in his heart, but he finally said nothing. Looking at him in confusion, Estelle took the phone. “Hi, Sir.” “Hi, Estelle.” Mr. Mysterious’ voice was still as gentle as usual. “What did you say...” “It’s a secret between him and me,” Mr. Mysterious said before Estelle finished her words. “Alright,” Estelle said in a resentful voice. “Are you angry?” “No.” Mr. Mysterious couldn’t help chuckling, “This is the first time that you’ve been angry with me.” Taking a glance at Tim, Estelle turned around in a hurry and denied in a low voice, “I’m not angry.” “Estelle, in the past six years, you have been forcing yourself to be a good mother and a good wife.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

But you haven’t been yourself for a long time,” Mr. Mysterious voiced out his opinion. Upon hearing his tender words, Estelle was overcome with emotions, her eyes welling up with tears and her nose twitching slightly. “As time passes by, everyone will have more identities. Since I have children, I certainly should learn to be a good mother.” “You have the ability to be a wonderful mother while still being true to yourself. I miss the Estelle you used to be,” Mr. Mysterious confessed, his voice filled with longing. “You know what? I used to admire you from a distance secretly. I loved seeing you in beautiful floral dresses and witnessing your confident interactions with others. Estelle, I love you just the way you are, but I would be delighted to see you embrace a more carefree demeanor similar to your past self. So... I’m actually happy that you’re angry with me.” Estelle blushed in shyness upon hearing his heartfelt words. “Sir, let’s continue this conversation when I return home tonight.” “Okay,” Mr. Mysterious said with a chuckle. When Estelle hung up the phone and looked back, she found that Tim had left. Then she sighed slightly with mixed feelings. Recalling what Tim had done these days, such as going to the hospital to see Aurora and rushing here to see her today, she suddenly realized that Tim had a crush on her. Previously, Tim just thought I was a suitable marriage partner and wanted to keep a marriage of convenience with me. When did he begin to have a crush on me? Thinking about this, Estelle felt a little helpless. ‘What did Mr. Mysterious say to him just now? Judging from Tim’s reaction, he seemed to have been persuaded by Mysterious and decided to give up on me, or he wouldn’t have left.’ ‘Mr. Mysterious is so awesome. Even Tim’s family can’t persuade Tim, but he can.’ “There you are! I’ve been looking for you for a long time!” Suddenly, York’s voice came from the end of the corridor. Followed by several employees, he walked over aggressively, grabbed Estelle’s wrist, and pulled her.

“Uncle York, what’s the matter?” Estelle inquired, her brows furrowed deeply. The tight grip on her wrist had caused her pain. York said coldly, “You didn’t solve the problem of this project, and now our supplier is going to sue me. Estelle, I have worked hard to run the company for six years, but I didn’t get any benefits. Instead, I’ll be sued and put into prison. It’s unfair. I’m not going to jail!” From the corner of her eye, Estelle noticed the name badges worn by the accompanying individuals and recognized them as members of the company’s legal department. It dawned on Estelle that York had approached her accompanied by the legal department staff, and a realization struck her. She now understood what York’s intentions were.
