Chapter 105 Chapter 105: A Benefactor
“Don’t call me anymore! Estelle is still sleeping!”
“No way. Estelle doesn’t want to talk to you. Don’t dilly-dally or talk nonsense. All you should do now is to get divorced from Estelle as soon as possible.”
Woken up by the voice, Estelle slowly opened her eyes. Then she surprisingly found that she had been sent back to the ward and was lying on the bed.
Beside her, Yvonne had woken up and was looking at her with her big eyes. Seeing Yvonne’s cute look, Estelle couldn’t help but smile and gently kiss her angelic face.
Yvonne then became happier and giggled.
“Thank goodness you are fine now,” Estelle gently touched Yvonne’s little nose and said. “I was almost scared to death yesterday.”
Yvonne made cooing noises as if responding to Estelle and then sucked at her own finger with an innocent look.
“Estelle!” Seeing Estelle awake, Rebecca quickly hung up the phone and rushed over.
“I’ve known about what happened yesterday. How could such a thing happen? I shouldn’t have left yesterday afternoon,” she said.
Seeing her red eyes and nose, Estelle knew that Rebecca must have cried.
She gently held Rebecca’s hand and said, “Taking care of me has taken too much of your time these days. You don’t have to come here every day. I know you are always busy.”
“I’m not busy at all. My father’s company is developing better and better, and many other companies have reached an agreement on cooperation with him. He doesn’t need me to help him now. You are the benefactor of our family. He asked me to take good care of you.”
“Benefactor?” Estelle was confused.
“Yes. When we were in high school, you helped me and protected me from being bullied. And last time, you helped my family solve the cash flow problem. Estelle, I’m so lucky to have a friend like you. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. I’m willing to do anything for you!” Rebecca said sincerely.
“Then please help me write a resignation letter and send it to Mr. Roberts. I’m afraid I can’t go to work anymore,” Estelle chuckled and said.
Rebecca suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, “You don’t need to resign. Tim thinks that you are a talented designer, so he makes an exception for you. He let me tell you that you can work at home and he will pay you as usual.”
Estelle was a little surprised. “Really?”
“Sure,” Rebecca said, looking very happy. “By the way, Estelle, the set of jewelry that you designed for Mrs. Green last time is very popular now! I heard that yesterday afternoon, she went to an auction wearing that set of jewelry. Guess what? The ladies on the spot took a fancy to the jewelry when they saw it! After the auction, they all went to Only Love Jewelry and said that they wanted to buy the jewelry designed by you. Tim earned an absolute fortune!”
Hearing this, Estelle was a little stunned.
The jewelry that she designed was indeed exquisite. And she was very confident that the finished product would be more good-looking than it looked on the sketch. She had expected that Mrs. Green would be satisfied with the jewelry, but she did not expect that it would cause a sensation.
“Mrs. Green appreciates you very much. She praises you to almost all the rich ladies that she knows. And now you are very famous among the rich ladies in the upper class. My mother and her friends have made an appointment to go to Only Love Jewelry and buy customized jewelry designed by you.”
Estelle quickly said, “Just tell me what style of jewelry Mrs. Miller likes, and I’ll design jewelry for her first.”
“Oh, my God! It’s so kind of you, Estelle. My mother will be extremely happy if she knows it!” Rebecca exclaimed. “Now, anyone who wants to buy the jewelry designed by you needs to make a reservation. Tim is kind enough to know you are sick and can’t work long hours, so he tells the customers that you will only take one order a month. I heard that more than thirty ladies have made reservations.”
Hearing this, Estelle was dumbfounded.
When she was at Lanster Jewelry Design Academy, many professors and masters in the design industry spoke highly of her. They said that she was talented and believed that she would be very successful in this industry.
Estelle was also confident in her ability. But after so many years since she dropped out of university, she actually felt a sense of unreality when she heard that so many people liked the jewelry designed by her.
“Rebecca, I...”
“Estelle,” Rebecca held her hand tightly and encouraged her. “Cheer up. The design industry can’t lose talent like you. For your children and the customers who like your design, don’t give up the hope to live.”
Hearing this, Estelle was touched and nodded. “I see.”
She had had advanced cancer for a long time and didn’t care about how long she could live. But she could see Rebecca still couldn’t accept the fact.
“By the way, Cristofer called me just now. He was going through the divorce procedures with your lawyer at the Court. He called you, but you blocked him, and he couldn’t get through. He said that he wanted to talk to you on the phone, but I refused his request.”
Estelle licked her lips and said, “I see.”
“Estelle, you finally got divorced and got rid of Cristofer. Now you’ve regained your freedom, and you can be together with Mr. Mysterious.”
Speaking of Mr. Mysterious, Estelle asked, “Rebecca, when did you come?”
“I came here before seven o’clock in the morning,” Rebecca said as she showed Estelle a message on her phone. “Look, at six o’clock, I received a message. It might be from Mr. Mysterious. He asked me to come and spend more time with you when I’m not busy. Then I rushed here immediately.”
Looking at the words “Thank you very much” on the screen, she was sure the message was from Mr. Mysterious.
He was always gentle and polite and could do everything properly.
“Estelle, I can see that Mr. Mysterious is a good man,” Rebecca said. “He is gentle and treats you well. It seems that Ingemar hasn’t any chance to chase you. Gentleness is a man’s greatest weapon in defeating his rival in love.”
Estelle chuckled. “You’re right.”
“Many girls think that the rich and bossy CEOs in romantic novels are manly. But I think in real life, a gentle and considerate man is much better than any bossy CEO. Manliness is never reflected in a man’s domineering words or wealth. A manly man should be gentle and powerful enough to protect his beloved woman.”
