Chapter 168 Chapter 168: It’s My Treat Today
Hearing this, Estelle nodded and said, “That’s also what I thought on my way here. If he is really Cristofer's brother, then Cristofer's parents are also his biological parents. It’s normal that he wants to find out the truth about the accident. By the way, the night before yesterday, he left a tie in my apartment. And he said that his mother gave it to him. I can see that the tie is precious to him.”
Rebecca took a deep breath and said, “Oh, my God. You were in emotional entanglement with Cristofer for ten years, and now you are finally about to divorce him. But surprisingly, you start a new relationship with Mr. Mysterious, another son of the Hans family. That’s ridiculous!”
“I don’t care who Mr. Mysterious is now, as long as we’re together,” Estelle said and smiled bitterly.
“As long as Mr. Mysterious is not Cristofer, it doesn’t matter who he is,” Rebecca continued. “Estelle, I’ve learned from the Internet that twins always have different characters and ways of doing things. For example, Cristofer didn’t believe you and broke up with you because of the car accident, while Mr. Mysterious believes in you and takes good care of you.”
“Cristofer can’t compare with Mr. Mysterious,” Estelle said.
“Yes, you’re right. As a brother, Mr. Mysterious is much more mature and steady than Cristofer. But Estelle, Mr. Mysterious, is Cristofer's twin brother. Can you accept that he looks the same as Cristofer?” Rebecca asked.
Estelle was stunned and said, “I have never thought about this.”
“It doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to see his face when you two make out, you can close your eyes or turn off the lights,” Rebecca joked at her.
At the same time, Estelle’s phone beeped, and she received a message from Mr. Mysterious.
‘I’m sorry that I hurt you last night.’
Seeing the message, Estelle couldn’t help smiling and replied to him.
‘It’s okay. You are much gentler compared with Justin.’
‘Both Justin and I have been single for many years. But his self-control might not be as good as mine. Thanks to us, he finally gets back together with Rebecca.’
‘Sir, are you busy now?’
‘Yes. I’m not in the mood to work because all I’m thinking about is you.’
‘Will you go back to our home tonight?’ Estelle texted him.
‘Do you miss me?’
‘No.’ With a slight flush on her cheeks, Estelle typed with her hand shaking slightly.
‘Really?’
‘Really.’
‘You are lying. Your heart must be beating fast, your face burning hot, and your hands trembling slightly.’
Estelle was speechless when seeing such a reply.
Mr. Mysterious could always know what she was doing and read her mind.
She typed many words, but after thinking for a while, she deleted them and then replied to him briefly with only three words. ‘See you tonight.’
While eating the dessert with a small spoon, Rebecca smacked her lips and said, “Tsk, tsk. Are you chatting with Mr. Mysterious? What an affectionate couple you are.”
After putting away her phone, Estelle thought of something and then asked seriously, “By the way, Rebecca, have you finished the adoption procedures?”
Henry’s mother had passed away. Since Rebecca returned from the welfare house, she wanted to adopt him.
Speaking of this, Rebecca shook her head and said helplessly, “Not yet. The welfare house director has told me what I need to prepare for the adoption. Just like a few years ago, I must get married to adopt a child.”
“But the problem is that I can’t find anyone willing to keep a sham marriage with me. Howard is a celebrity, and he can’t marry me. Besides, I don’t know any volunteers of this welfare house. If I randomly choose one of them and tell him that I want to marry him, I’ll be taken as a lunatic.”
“Did you ask Justin if he’s willing to help you?” Estelle asked.
“No, no, no,” Rebecca said without hesitation and shook her head repeatedly.
“It’s easy to get married to him, but it will be hard to divorce him. If I really marry him, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to get a divorce for the rest of my life. Estelle, don’t worry. I’ll think of another way to adopt Henry.”
Estelle nodded slightly.
While they were talking, her phone rang again.
“Who is it calling you?”
“I don’t know. The caller ID is a landline number. Maybe it’s from the welfare house.”
“Then answer it quickly!” Rebecca said.
Estelle nodded and answered the phone. “Hello.”
“Hello, Estelle. I’m Cristofer's grandfather. Shall we meet each other today?”
When Estelle left the cafe, Gary had been waiting for her for a while.
Seeing Gary, Rebecca, who had been heavily disguised again, pulled Estelle’s sleeve and whispered, “The genes of the Hans family are so amazing. Old Mr. Hans, as well as Cristofer and Yohan, look exactly alike.”
Hearing this, Estelle said nothing.
She thought, ‘It’s indeed amazing. And Cristofer looks like his deceased father.’
She had heard from Cristofer several times that Gary used to be a soldier.
After retiring from military service, Gary founded the Hans Group. Although he was successful in doing business, he was not interested in it. Moreover, he had been injured on the battlefield when he was young and was not in good health, so he retired early and moved to a quiet place to recuperate.
Although Gary was old and gray-haired, he was still standing straight. Seeing Estelle coming, he nodded with a friendly smile as a greeting.
“Hi, Grandpa Gary,” Estelle said politely.
“Hi, Estelle. The last time we met at your home, the house was in chaos, and I didn’t have a chance to have a good talk with you. Let’s go to dinner first,” Gary invited her.
However, Estelle didn’t move.
When Gary was about to get into the car, he turned his head and saw Estelle standing still. Then he knew what she was thinking about and said, “We’ll just have dinner. Cristofer won’t join us. Don’t worry.”
“Go with him, Estelle. Old Mr. Hans must know something about Cristofer's brother. It’s a good chance to know more about Mr. Mysterious!” Rebecca leaned over and whispered in Estelle’s ear again.
Estelle turned to look at Rebecca and saw Rebecca kept winking at her and motioning her to go with Gary.
Feeling helpless, she sighed and said with a nod, “Okay. Let’s go, Grandpa Gary. It’s my treat today.”
Gary nodded with a smile.
Rebecca then made a gesture of “Come on” to Estelle and drove away quickly.
Gary’s car was a military off-road vehicle, big and cool.
Estelle walked over, opened the car door, and put her hand against the top of the door frame. “After you, Grandpa Gary.”
