Chapter 109 Chapter 109: I Will Bless You
Mr. Mysterious did not answer her question but asked in reply, “Does it matter whether I’m Justin or not?”
Estelle bit her lip and didn’t know how to answer him.
‘To be honest, it does matter,’ she thought.
“Sir, if you’re Justin, I…”
Before Estelle could finish her words, Mr. Mysterious chuckled and said, “What will you do?”
“I think you should have a good talk with Rebecca. Since there’s a misunderstanding between the two of you, you should clear it up. I can see that you still care about her. Both of you should give each other a chance to explain.”
Without saying anything, Mr. Mysterious sighed slightly, carried her in his arms, and walked to the bed.
Then he sat down and said gently, “Estelle, the relationship between people is not as simple as you think. Lovers may break up for various reasons, such as meeting at the wrong time and having misunderstandings. And for some people, there’s no need for them to meet or be together again even though they still love each other.”
Hearing his words, Estelle was more confused and still didn’t know whether Mr. Mysterious was Justin or not.
She thought that maybe it was because she became stupid due to her poor health or Mr. Mysterious was so smart that she couldn’t figure out what he meant.
“Estelle, didn’t you promise me that you wouldn’t ask about my identity? Let’s not talk about this topic anymore and just enjoy the rest of our lives, shall we?”
Estelle was somewhat depressed. Her head lowered, and she said softly, “Sir, I’m sorry I broke my promise. I shouldn’t have asked about your identity, but it’s concerning my best friend, so I wanted to figure it out. Sorry. I won’t ask you about it anymore.”
“It’s okay.”
“I still can’t tell whether you’re Justin or not. But if you are, I want to tell you that Rebecca is really a good woman and you still have a chance to be together with her again. If you’re not, just ignore my words.”
Mr. Mysterious didn’t say anything and seemed to be thinking about what she said.
Estelle then added, “Sir, what you said is always right. But just now, you said for some people that there’s no need for them to meet or be together again even though they still love each other. I beg to differ. In my opinion, if a couple still loves each other after they break up, it will be hard for them to get over each other. They should try to get back together, or they will regret it in the future.”
Hearing this, Mr. Mysterious held her in his arms tightly and asked, “Estelle, do you really think I should get her back? What if the chance is very slim? Should I still have a try?”
Estelle nodded. “As long as you still have a chance, you should have a try. We only live once. Don’t live with regrets. I’ll take myself as an example. I wanted to take back everything from my family, drive my uncle out of my house and return the Hans Group to Cristofer. But... I may not be able to make it because I don’t know how long I can live. However, I still try my best to do it because I don’t want to die with regrets.”
“No, you won’t die,” Mr. Mysterious said and held her more tightly, seeming to be extremely afraid. And his whole body was trembling. “Estelle, you won’t die. I won’t let you leave me.”
Hearing this, Estelle smiled bitterly and said, “Sir, I have cancer.”
‘Money and power can solve most of the problems in this world, but they can’t decide the length of one’s life. All I can do for a person with advanced cancer like me is resign myself to my fate.’
Estelle had accepted the fact and was not afraid of death at all. She just wanted to spend more time with those who loved her, and she loved, did as much as she could for them, and died with no regrets.
“Sir, you once said that you would appear in front of me with your true identity in the daytime. Then... have we ever met during the day recently?”
Mr. Mysterious lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance of her hair fondly as he said gently, “Estelle, now I have only one identity, and that is Mr. Mysterious. Let’s just keep each other company like this regardless of our identity, shall we?”
“Okay.”
Mr. Mysterious then smiled, kissed her forehead, and then her eyes. “Estelle, your eyes are beautiful. They look like the bright stars in the sky.”
“...”
Mr. Mysterious then bent forward and kissed the tip of her nose. After that, he kissed her lips.
“Well...” Estelle was stunned.
This was the first time that Mr. Mysterious kissed her lips.
Her mind went blank when their lips touched, and she felt a little hot.
In the beginning, Mr. Mysterious kissed her gently. But soon, his kiss became more and more passionate, and his breaths became heavier.
Estelle was a little scared. She had never seen Mr. Mysterious lose control like this.
But at the same time, she felt sweet in her heart because she could feel his deep affection for her.
After getting hurt in her previous marriage, she decided not to start a new relationship anymore. But Mr. Mysterious had changed her mind.
Her marriage with Cristofer ended in divorce not only because of the car accident and Gretchen’s cunning tricks but also because Cristofer didn’t believe her at all. But all of this didn’t matter to her now because she had had nothing to do with Cristofer.
While immersed in the kiss, Estelle couldn’t help thinking, ‘I’m so lucky to have Mr. Mysterious with me. If only he were not Justin…’
When Rebecca came to the hospital the next day, Estelle told her what Mr. Mysterious had said last night.
“I’ll take you to see Justin when you get better, and then you’ll know if he’s Mr. Mysterious!” Rebecca said. “Estelle, you don’t have to have any burden in your heart. Justin and I have broken up for so many years. If he falls in love with you, I will bless you.”
Although Rebecca said so, Estelle still felt a little uneasy.
“Estelle, although I can’t cook, I’m a master at peeling apples! Wait a minute. I’ll let you see how awesome I am,” Rebecca said confidently and devoted herself to peeling the apple.
Seeing her like this, Estelle smiled helplessly and sighed with emotion.
‘I’m talking about Mr. Mysterious and Justin while all her attention is on the apple?’
‘Alas, if I could be as happy and carefree as her, I wouldn’t have lived in pain for the past six years.’
“Look!” Rebecca showed Estelle the long curly strip of apple peel and said with a proud smile, “I didn’t lie to you, right? I’m a master at peeling apples. If there is an apple peeling competition in the Olympic Games, I will definitely be the champion.”
