Chapter 235 Chapter 235: Do They Miss Me?
Estelle then quietly went back to her room.
Just now, she had paid all her attention to the Snoopy doll. It was not until this moment that she began to look at her room carefully.
Both the bed sheet and curtains were with floral patterns. And when she opened the wardrobe, there were all kinds of beautiful clothes, most of which were floral dresses that were the same as those that Cristofer had bought her before.
Estelle slowly eased herself onto the bed, sinking into the softness of the mattress. It provided such comfort that she instantly felt at ease.
Feeling exhausted, Estelle sleep rather quickly. In her slumber, she found herself immersed in a dream, bringing her back to the memories of her eighteenth year.
In her dream, she sat on the desk beside the bed, writing down her wishes in her notebook.
During that period of her life, Estelle had reached the age of eighteen and had matured significantly. It was a time filled with anticipation as she looked forward to her upcoming marriage to Cristofer, which would take place in just two years.
The first few wishes were about her and her parents. She wanted to plant sunflowers for Aurora, buy a new car for George, buy a big house for her family, and watch the sunrise and sunset.
After writing them down, she thought about Cristofer, and his handsome face appeared in her mind.
Cristofer was three years older than her and was much more mature and gentle than her. He would tolerate her arrogance and spoil her more than her parents.
Thinking about this, Estelle wrote down a wish about him.
Learn to cook and cook dishes perfect in color, aroma, and taste for Cristofer every day.
Then she found that there were many things that she wanted to do together with Cristofer, and she wrote more wishes about him.
‘Watching stars all night on the Ferris wheel. I can see the star more clearly when it moves to the highest point.’
‘P.S. It will be best if I can watch Stars on the Ferris Wheel with Cristofer. Hope that he knows what I want for my birthday this year.’
At night, Estelle was woken up by the warmth coming behind her.
When she just woke up, she was drowsy and thought that she was still dreaming and the man behind her was Cristofer.
Frowning slightly, she muttered, “Why don’t you wait for me downstairs? Aren’t you afraid my Dad will see you?”
The big hand on her wrist suddenly trembled.
Estelle was abruptly startled, instantly becoming wide awake. The next moment, she caught a whiff of a familiar cologne filling the air around her.
“Sir?”
“I’m here,” Mr. Mysterious said in a tired voice. “I wanted to wait for you downstairs. When I arrived here, I called you but you were sleeping so soundly and didn’t answer the phone, so I came in.”
Estelle was a little stunned and then quickly picked up her phone.
Sure enough, there were several missed calls from Mr. Mysterious.
“Sorry, Sir. I didn’t hear it,” Estelle said in embarrassment and scratched her head.
Mr. Mysterious gently held her in his arms again and said in a husky voice, “It’s okay. You have been living a hard life these years. You deserve a good rest.”
“You also deserve a rest after all that hard work. You not only have to deal with your business but also have to do so many things for me.”
Mr. Mysterious chuckled and said, “It’s my pleasure to do those things for you.”
“Sir, don’t you need to sleep? My father once said that successful people sleep less than others.”
“Well, what my future father-in-law said is right,” Mr. Mysterious remarked sincerely.
Estelle blushed and then nestled in his arms in a comfortable position. Thinking of her father, she said in a low voice, “My father was the victim of a conspiracy.”
“I know that.”
“I must let Gretchen and Melody get their comeuppances!”
“They will. Karma is real, and evil will be rewarded with evil.”
“How are the kids these days?”
“They are fine. As long as I was with Yohan, he would climb up and down my legs and take my leg as a children’s slide. Yvonne is as good as gold and smiles a lot. Mrs. Moorsum said that Yvonne has a better appetite these days and drinks one more bottle of milk every day.”
Hearing this, Estelle felt relieved and happy. “Do they miss me?”
“Sure. Yohan has been asking me where you have gone.”
“Then how did you answer him?” Estelle asked curiously.
“I told him that superheroes work in shifts, and you relieved me on duty. I will have a rest, and you are going to save the world,” Mr. Mysterious smiled as he said it.
“He believed that?” Estelle thought that such an explanation was ridiculous.
“Yes. He was very surprised that both of us were superheroes.”
Estelle burst into laughter and could even imagine Yohan’s innocent and surprised look when he heard that.
“Won’t you feel embarrassed when he grows up and catches your lie?” she asked.
“No. I think he will be the one who feels embarrassed,” Mr. Mysterious said with a chuckle.
“You... Well...” Before Estelle could say anything more, Mr. Mysterious pecked her on the lips quickly.
Surprised by his sudden kiss, Estelle covered her mouth and looked at him with her face blushing scarlet. “Sir, you... You have changed. You used to be reserved.”
“Sorry. You are so charming, and I couldn’t help doing that.”
Estelle was momentarily at a loss for words. She gently stroked her lips, feeling as if the warmth of his lips still lingered on hers.
It had been only two months since she and Mr. Mysterious had known each other.
Compared with her relationship with Cristofer, the relationship between Mr. Mysterious and her developed much faster.
After going through so many things, she thought that the true happiness for her was to live a peaceful and happy life with the one she loved. And at her age, passion was not the most important thing in a relationship.
While Estelle was looking back at the past, Mr. Mysterious, who held her from behind, was thinking about another thing.
Hadale was a city with a warm climate, and it was still hot in October.
As the two of them were close to each other and the air conditioner was not on in the room, their temperatures gradually rose, and the atmosphere became more intimate.
Estelle could feel that Mr. Mysterious’ breath on the back of her neck was getting hotter and hotter, and his breath was becoming quicker and quicker. Then she heard him swallowing hard and found that he had a hard-on.
