Chapter 172 Chapter 172: Personal Affairs
Mr. Mysterious slowly got close to her and sat beside her. Then he gently took her hand and comforted her with a soothing voice, “I see. You are not afraid of this tie. You are afraid because you thought I was Cristofer, right?”
After a few seconds, Estelle nodded slowly.
Mr. Mysterious chuckled and flicked her forehead. “How is it possible? You think too much.”
Estelle also felt that she had overreacted just now. She sighed slightly and said, “Sir, I really hope the cooling-off period ends as soon as possible. I even wish that I could travel through time and go through the divorce procedures immediately. I don’t want to have anything to do with Cristofer anymore.”
“Time passes quickly. You’ll divorce him soon,” Mr. Mysterious said calmly.
The tie had ruined the passionate atmosphere, and both the two of them had come back to their senses.
Feeling embarrassed, they fell into silence.
After a while, Mr. Mysterious spoke first, “It’s time to sleep. Let’s go to bed. We’ll begin our hard battle against your uncle tomorrow.”
“What? You are going to resign?” Bob exclaimed in shock. “Miss Hudson, you’ve only been working at Only Love Jewelry for a few days. Why do you want to resign? Are you not satisfied with the salary? Mr. Roberts is coming back soon. You can ask him for a pay rise. You are so capable, and he will definitely agree to your request.”
Since Estelle worked in the company, Bob had been good to her, so Estelle was very grateful to him.
“It’s not about the salary, Bob. I’ve been well-paid enough. And I like to work here. But I have some personal affairs to deal with, so I can’t work here anymore.”
“Personal affairs?” Bob frowned tightly and asked, “Does any other company want to poach you?”
“No,” Estelle explained with a smile. “It’s about my family.”
“All right.”
“I’ve completed all the design drawings of the jewelry ordered by Katrina, and I’ve put them on Mr. Roberts’ desk. Besides, I can also finish the design drawing of the jewelry ordered by Justin today. So... I want to go through the resignation procedures before I get off work,” Estelle stated.
Hearing this, Bob was even more surprised. “Are you in such a hurry?”
“Yes. I’m sorry, Bob. After I finish dealing with everything, maybe we will still be able to work together if there is a chance.”
It was until then that Bob was relieved.
‘Fortunately, she resigned because of personal affairs, not job-hopping. In this case, she can come back to work after dealing with her family’s affairs. That’s good.’
Bob heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Miss Hudson, the competition in our industry is so fierce now. It’s not easy to hire a capable and creative designer like you. Several excellent designers who worked in our company resigned with the excuse of having personal affairs to deal with before. But not long after that, we found that they were working in other companies. So just now I...”
Estelle chuckled and said, “I can understand you.”
“Estelle, if you don’t need to go through the resignation procedures, I will hold your job for you. After you deal with your family affairs, you can come back at any time. What do you think?”
After thinking for a while, Estelle still refused him. “Thank you, Bob. But I must go through the resignation procedures. We will have a chance to work together in the future. I promise you.”
Since she had said so, Bob knew that he couldn’t change her mind at all.
Then he could only nod and say, “All right. But today is Sunday. You have to come again tomorrow if you want to go through the resignation procedures.”
It took Estelle the whole afternoon to finish all her work. After that, she went home in a hurry to pick up the children and took them to Hans’ Residence to see Gary.
Gary, who couldn’t wait to see his great-grandchildren, called Estelle.
“Estelle, it’s inconvenient for you to take care of two kids alone. How about I send my driver to pick you up?”
“No, thanks, Grandpa Gary. It’s very convenient to take a taxi to the Hans’ Residence. We’ll be there soon,” Estelle said politely.
Gary knew that she didn’t want to see Cristofer, so after a discussion with her, they agreed to meet at the Hans’ Residence.
When Estelle and the children arrived there, she saw Gary and Luke standing at the gate and waiting for them with eagerness.
After paying the taxi driver, Estelle got out of the car with Yvonne in her arms, followed by Yohan.
“Mom, who are we going to meet today?” Yohan asked.
“We’ll meet your great-grandpa. He is your dad’s grandpa,” Estelle answered.
Yohan nodded in confusion, not knowing the difference between Grandpa and great-grandpa.
Yvonne was in high spirits today. Lying in Estelle’s arms, she looked around with her round and big eyes, which were full of curiosity.
“Estelle!” Luke ran over when seeing them coming. When he saw Yvonne, he couldn’t help but shed tears. “Sorry, Estelle. I was so careless that I didn’t take good care of Yvonne before. It’s all my fault.”
“Uncle Luke, do you want to hug Yvonne?” Estelle asked with a gentle smile.
Hearing this, Luke was touched and asked with his eyes full of tears. “Estelle, don’t you blame me?”
“Of course not, Uncle Luke. After all, the person who hurt Yvonne was not you,” Estelle said as she carefully put Yvonne into Luke’s arms. “Speaking of which, I should thank you for taking care of Yvonne before.”
Holding Yvonne in his arms, Luke sighed with emotion. “It’s my pleasure. I’ve worked for the Hans family for so many years, and I watched Mr. Hans grow up. I take him as my child and Yvonne as my granddaughter. I’m happy that I can look after Yvonne.”
While they were talking, Gary walked over as he kept gazing lovingly at Yohan.
It was not until he stopped before them that he shifted his gaze and greeted Estelle with a smile, “Good afternoon, Estelle.”
“Grandpa Gary, good afternoon,” Estelle said. Then she whispered to Yohan, “Yohan, this is your great-grandpa.”
“Hello, great-grandpa. I’m Yohan. Nice to meet you, “Yohan greeted Gary in a sweet voice.
Gary was delighted and said, “Hi, Yohan. Nice to meet you too. It’s windy outside. Let’s go into the house.”
Although it was not Estelle’s first visit, she still felt a little uneasy.
Luke had always held Yvonne in his arms and looked affectionately at her with a happy smile on his wrinkled face.
