HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 44: Don't Date An Old Man

The effect of the painkiller usually lasts twenty-four hours. I took one pill this morning before I went out. Why does it become ineffective so soon? Could it be that the painkiller is useless for me? About twenty minutes later, the painkiller finally took effect. The severe pain was gradually relieved and later turned into a dull pain that she could endure. Looking at Estelle worriedly, Rebecca said, “Estelle, what’s wrong with you? This medicine... Its name is so long. What is it for?” Estelle shook her head with a smile and said, “I just had a sudden stomach ache.” “Stomach ache?” “Yes.” “It’s troublesome to have stomach problems. My father also has stomach problems, but he has never had such a serious stomach ache as you have,” Rebecca said. At this moment, Estelle’s phone rang, and she received a message. Rebecca helped her take out her phone and handed it to her. “Who is so old-fashioned and contacted you by sending a text message? It’s in the twenty-first century now. Doesn’t he use social media Apps?” Without saying a word, Estelle took the phone and unlocked the screen. Where are you now? The message was from Mr. Mysterious. I’m outside the Hudson’s House. Estelle replied to him. Stay where you are. I’ll ask someone to pick you up. Okay. Estelle, you did a good job just now. Seeing the message, Estelle felt warm in her heart. And she suddenly realized something and texted Mr. Mysterious quickly. Sir, have you also come to the Hudson’s House? Yes. Estelle was stunned and thought, He is also here? Well, it’s nothing strange. Uncle York is vain, and he must have invited all people in the upper class in Hadale to the party. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Mr. Mysterious is wealthy and powerful, so he was definitely invited. There were so many people in the hall just now. Which one is him? Have I ever seen him? Holding her phone, Estelle didn’t know what to reply. While she was lost in thought, another message from Mr. Mysterious came. Are you not feeling well? I’m fine. Stay there. I’ll ask someone to pick you up as soon as possible. Okay. “Estelle, who are you texting? Why don’t you talk on the phone or chat online?” Rebecca asked in confusion. Estelle smiled, stood straight, and took a deep breath. The dull pain had completely disappeared, and she felt better. “It’s... a friend of mine,” She answered. “Is it a man or a woman?” Rebecca leaned over and asked curiously. “A man? Is he handsome? Is he rich? He’d better be more handsome and richer than Cristofer! Cristofer will be jealous if he knows you are with a man who’s much better with him!” Estelle smiled helplessly. Mr. Mysterious was indeed rich. But she didn’t know whether he was handsome or not because she had never seen his face. Thinking about Cristofer, she thought, How is it possible he is jealous because of me? He is successful, has a beautiful woman beside him, and... he took my daughter away. Now he has everything he wants and has a happy life. So he won’t care about who I’m with at all. Then she couldn’t help thinking about her own situation. She offended York today, and she would definitely have a hard time in the future. Both her and Aurora’s accounts were still being frozen, and she had no money to pay for her mother’s further treatment. She didn’t want to ask Mr. Mysterious for money again. He had given her a lot. Besides, she wanted to leave some money for her two children before she died. As a mother, she

couldn’t accompany them to grow up, so she wanted to do something that was within her scope for them when she was alive. After thinking for a while, Estelle asked, “Rebecca, could you do me a favor?” Rebecca nodded and said, “Sure. Just tell me what I can do for you.” Estelle said awkwardly, “I want to... find a job. Could you help me?” “Find a job?” Rebecca was confused. “I’ve offended my Uncle. I’m afraid he will give me a hard time, and it will be difficult for me to find a job. So please help me,” Estelle explained. Rebecca thought for a while and said, “Okay. I’ll help you. I’ll call you if I have news.” “Thank you very much, Rebecca,” Estelle said gratefully. While they were talking, the black Porsche Cayenne slowly came from afar. This time, the driver was not Miranda but a young man. He stopped the car before Estelle and said, “Hi, Miss Hudson. I’m here to pick you up.” With a worried look, Rebecca stared at the driver vigilantly. “Rebecca,” Estelle hugged her and said. “Thank you for what you did for me today. I have to go now.” Hearing this, Rebecca relaxed her vigilance and asked, “Did the man who texted you just now the one who sent someone to pick you up?” “Yes,” Estelle answered. Rebecca said, “Estelle, listen to me. Break up with him. You are so young and beautiful. Don’t date an old man.” Estelle was puzzled. “An old man?” Rebecca pursed her lips and said, “He only texted you and even didn’t use social media Apps. Even my Dad, who is in his fifties, knows how to chat online. So the man who texted you must be an old man over sixty years old!” Estelle was stunned and didn’t know how to explain her relationship with Mr. Mysterious to Rebecca. Mr. Mysterious and she were not only like an employer and an employee but also like friends. And

sometimes they were like lovers. She felt as if Mr. Mysterious treated her as his beloved woman. He paid attention to everything in her life and always provided help for her when she was helpless. He gave her money to pay the medical fees before, and this day, he specially asked Miranda to help her dress up before the party. Besides, they slept in the same bed every night. “Miss Hudson, please get into the car,” The driver urged. Hearing this, Rebecca took Estelle’s hand and said, “There are many other ways to solve your problems. How much money do you need? I’ll give it to you first. Don’t date that old man.”
