Chapter 150 Chapter 150: Is That You?
Estelle was confused and couldn’t figure out what Katrina meant.
All of a sudden, everything went black in front of her.
Startled, Estelle was about to scream when she smelled the familiar scent of cologne subconsciously.
“Sir? Is that you?”
“Yes,” Mr. Mysterious replied to her as he gently covered her eyes with one hand and held her from behind with the other. “It’s time to get off work. Why are you sitting here in a daze?”
Estelle was distracted by Katrina’s words the whole afternoon and forgot to check the time. It was not until then that she realized that it was off-duty time.
“Sir, I have to pack up my stuff before we go. I’ll close my eyes now, and you may go out to wait for me,” she said.
“But I don’t want to leave you for even a second,” Mr. Mysterious said affectionately and kissed her on the back of her neck gently.
The touch of his warm lips made Estelle shrink her neck.
“Sir, there are still many people in the company. “
Although the other designers would draw design drawings on their computers and almost no one would come to the design studio, Estelle was still afraid that someone would suddenly come in and the identity of Mr. Mysterious would be exposed.
“Estelle, wait a moment.”
“What?”
Mr. Mysterious moved his hand away from her eyes gently, then blindfolded her with a strip of a soft cloth and tied it at the back of her head.
“Is it too tight?” he asked.
“No,” Estelle answered.
“Tell me if you feel uncomfortable,” Mr. Mysterious said.
“Okay,” Estelle said.
The next moment, Mr. Mysterious took her hand and walked towards the door.
Estelle immediately stopped him and said, “Sir, if we leave this studio, we will be in the office area. Someone will recognize you. How about we leave through the back door?”
Hearing this, Mr. Mysterious chuckled and deliberately said slowly in a meaningful tone, “Through the back door?”
Estelle knew he must have misunderstood her meaning, and she blushed immediately. “I didn’t mean that. I mean, we can...”
Mr. Mysterious said in a lazy and sexy voice, “I didn’t expect that you would know so much.”
Hearing what he had said, Estelle felt embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.
Previously, she only knew the explicit meaning of doing something through the back door. But after she was together with Cristofer, he once told her that when a man said “Let’s go through the back door” to a woman, he gave her a come-on.
“Sir.”
“What’s up?”
“Men’s world is so complicated,” Estelle said.
“My world is not complicated. In my world, there are only the two of us and our two children,” Mr. Mysterious said with a chuckle.
“...”
“Estelle, you are blushing.”
“I’m not.”
“You are. I’m watching you.”
Estelle felt a little annoyed and pouted. “Sir, it’s unfair that you can see me, but I can’t see you.”
Mr. Mysterious’ hand on her wrist froze when he heard this. Then he said, “Estelle, I...”
“I know that,” Estelle interrupted him, knowing what he wanted to say. “I’m not asking you to face me with your true identity. I just think that I still don’t know you well. So if possible, let me know more about you in the future, will you? I won’t ask about your identity. I just want to know what you like to eat, what color you like, what weather you like or something like this. Well...”
Before she could finish her words, Mr. Mysterious suddenly kissed her on her lips.
The kiss was gentle and affectionate, and it was not until after a long time that he ended the kiss.
“Estelle,” Mr. Mysterious called Estelle’s name in a husky voice.
“Huh?” She stared blankly at him with her mind blank.
“Before I met you, my world was so desolate that there was nothing else except me. Every day was the same for me. I couldn’t feel joy or sadness, and there was no change in my emotions.”
“And I had nothing that I liked or disliked. Food was just a necessity that could sustain my life, and I didn’t care about what the weather was like. As for color, I didn’t like any color before, but now I have a favorite color,” Mr. Mysterious said gently.
“What color do you like now?” Estelle asked.
“Light purple,” Mr. Mysterious said as he looked at Estelle’s Chanel dress with light purple floral prints. “Estelle, you look really beautiful in this dress. Light purple suits you. You can wear light purple clothes more often.”
“Okay.”
“Good girl,” Mr. Mysterious said, kissing her again as a reward. Then he held her hand and took her out of the design studio.
Mr. Mysterious seemed to be very familiar with Only Love Jewelry. He led the way for Estelle, and the two of them left through a passage that was unfamiliar to her.
And to Estelle’s surprise, they didn’t meet anyone all the way.
As soon as they left the building, Mr. Mysterious carried Estelle in his arms.
“Sir, I can walk by myself,” Estelle said shyly.
“Your eyes are covered. I’m afraid you’ll fall.”
“I won’t as long as you hold my hand.”
“Estelle, I don’t want anything dangerous to happen to you. It’s always wise to play safe. Don’t make me worry about you, okay?” Mr. Mysterious said gently.
‘Mr. Mysterious seems very sensitive today. No, he has always been gentle and sensitive,’ Estelle thought.
She could feel that since she moved into the apartment, Mr. Mysterious had been happy every day.
Mr. Mysterious once said that he was lonely. Deep in his heart, he must be eager for love and security.
Thinking of this, Estelle wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to give him a sense of security.
Noticing her movement, Mr. Mysterious asked gently, “What’s wrong?”
Estelle shook her head and asked, “Nothing. Am I heavier than before?”
Mr. Mysterious weighed her in his arms and said, “Yes, you are a little heavier. But it doesn’t matter. I’m strong enough to carry you.”
Estelle smiled, then leaned her head against his chest and listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat.
“Estelle, were you also so thin when you were pregnant?” Mr. Mysterious asked.
Estelle nodded slightly and said, “Yes. When I was pregnant with Yohan, I was alone in Ameris. At that time, I lived in despair and hopelessness every day. One day when I walked along the road, I was absent-minded and almost fell into the river. Fortunately, Mr. Harris passed by and saved me. Otherwise, Yohan and I might have been dead.”
“James saved you?”
