Chapter 162 Chapter 162: Visiting Henry’s Mother
With a pained expression, Cristofer said, “I... I really can’t remember what happened that night.”
“How could you be so careless?” Gary gritted his teeth and blamed him. “Have a paternity test after the baby is born. If the child is yours, then you have to shoulder the responsibility of being a father. If not, don’t let her show up in front of me anymore!”
“Okay.”
Gary stared at Cristofer angrily, and then his gaze fell on Cristofer's collar. “Cristofer, where is your tie?” He asked.
Hearing this, Cristofer was stunned and immediately touched his collar. When he realized that his tie was missing, he turned paler.
“Did you leave it somewhere?” Gary asked.
“I’ll go out to look for it right now!” Cristofer said anxiously.
“Forget it. It’s just a tie. You can buy a new one.”
“No, I must find it!” Cristofer said emotionally as his eyes turned red.
Then he rushed out and drove off quickly.
Since Tim was not in the company, Estelle felt at ease, and her work went smoothly.
There was no hurry to design Justin’s jewelry, so she decided to finish Katrina’s order first.
On this day, she focused on studying the style of the clothes sent by Katrina so that she could design jewelry well-matched with the clothes. And after a day’s work, she had had some preliminary design conceptions about the jewelry.
When she got off work, she received a call from Rebecca.
“Estelle, I’m at the gate of your company!”
“Okay. I’ll go downstairs right now.”
When Estelle left the office building, she saw Rebecca’s car parked at the roadside.
Then she found that Rebecca was a little strange today.
It was hot today, but Rebecca wore turtleneck knitwear, a pair of sunglasses, and a mask.
Seeing Estelle coming, she waved her hand. “Estelle, I’m here!”
After getting into the passenger seat, Estelle was amused when Rebecca dressed up like this and asked, “What’s wrong with you? Are you also a star like Howard now? Are there paparazzi following you?”
With a remorseful look on her face, Rebecca said, “Alas. Justin is really a bad guy.”
“Justin is a bad guy?” Estelle blinked her eyes and said in confusion. “In my impression, he’s always gentle and kind.”
“That’s totally a false image! You don’t know how horny he is! Last night he...” Rebecca paused and sighed heavily. “To get some information about Mr. Mysterious for you, I sacrificed myself last night.”
As she spoke, she took off her big sunglasses and mask and said in an aggrieved tone, “Look at the corner of my mouth. The skin is broken! Eh? Estelle, why is the skin of your mouth also broken? Did you and Mr. Mysterious also...”
“No, no, no,” Estelle interrupted her and said in a hurry. “We did... we just kissed.”
Seeing her like this, Rebecca was in a better mood. She rubbed her chin and looked at Estelle with a meaningful smile, saying, “Why are you so shy? Mr. Mysterious must have been very passionate last night. Tut-tut. Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together. Mr. Mysterious is the same kind of person as Justin.”
“Rebecca, you just said that you have got the information about Mr. Mysterious, right?” Estelle asked.
“Yes.” Rebecca tutted again and said. “I hate to marry into a rich and powerful family. Rich families are full of secrets and complicated relationships. We all thought that Cristofer was an only child, right?”
Estelle nodded. In her memory, Cristofer was the only son of his parents.
“But actually, he’s not,” Rebecca said. “Cristofer has a brother.”
“What?” Estelle was shocked.
“That’s right,” Rebecca said. “Cristofer seems to have a twin brother who was born with some disease. I didn’t ask Justin what exactly the disease is. Anyway, he was born unhealthy. And not long after his birth, he disappeared for some reason, and no one knew where he was now. That’s all Justin told me last night. As for other information, he refused to tell me more no matter how hard I tried.”
The more Estelle thought about Rebecca’s words, the more astonished she became.
“Why did he disappear?”
“I don’t know. The story is a little weird, but I’m sure Justin was not lying. He is always a reliable and honest man. Justin promised me that as long as I agreed to work as his secretary, he would tell me more information about Mr. Mysterious.” Rebecca explained.
Biting her lip, Estelle felt her mind was a mess and had mixed feelings.
“Estelle, if Mr. Mysterious is Cristofer's twin brother, then everything makes sense. He knows you very well because he has been paying attention to Cristofer secretly and knows everything between you and Cristofer. He loves you and knows what you have suffered in the past years. However, he could only bury his love for you in his heart because you still loved Cristofer before. Later, when you finally decided to break up with Cristofer, he came to you,” Rebecca stated again.
‘That makes sense. Mr. Mysterious once said that his beloved woman had been married, and he could no longer be with her. And he also said I was similar to that woman,’ Estelle thought.
‘If I was the woman he has loved for so many years, then all that he said and did before makes sense.’
‘Is he really Cristofer's brother? Rebecca said that Cristofer's brother was born with a disease. But Mr. Mysterious was sound. He was firm and powerful.’
“Could it be that Cristofer's brother is blind?” Rebecca guessed. “You couldn’t see anything when the light was turned off, but Mr. Mysterious was not affected by the darkness at all. Is it because he is already used to living in darkness?”
This speculation sounded reasonable, but Estelle shook her head and said, “No. Mr. Mysterious can drive. It means that he is not blind.”
“Then what could his disease be?” Suddenly, Rebecca patted her forehead and asked, “Estelle, could it be that he has a mental disease such as autism?”
‘Autism? I’m not sure,’ Estelle thought. The information about Mr. Mysterious was so shocking that she couldn’t digest it momentarily.
Then, her phone rang.
“Hello, this is Estelle,” Estelle answered the phone and said.
“Miss Hudson, this is Henry’s mother. Do you still remember me? You helped me find a welfare house for Henry before.”
Estelle suddenly realized that it had been almost a month since they had contacted each other last time.
“Yes, I remember you. How are you going these days?” Estelle asked.
“Miss Hudson, can I meet you?” Henry’s mother asked in a pleading tone.
Estelle nodded and asked for her address. Then Rebecca drove her to Henry’s home.
Henry’s home was located in the suburb where few people lived there now.
