Chapter 339 Chapter 339: Dad, Hug Me
Only then did Estelle realize she had hastily left without returning the cardigan to Cristofer.
“Yes,” she answered.
“Where is he now?” Aurora asked.
“He drove me to the gate of the hotel. Now, he may have been back home.”
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Then Yvonne shouted excitedly, “It’s Mom! Mom is back!”
In the living room, the two children rushed to open the door.
“Dad!” Yohan said in surprise when he saw Cristofer, “Dad, I miss you so much!”
When Yvonne saw Cristofer, she hugged his legs and cried, “Dad, where is Mom? Why didn’t Mom come back with you? Did you fail to save her?”
Cristofer, who also got wet all over, wanted to pick her up and soothe her, but he was afraid that the rainwater would stain her beautiful dress, so he just gently touched her cute face and said, “Don’t cry. I saved your Mom.”
Hearing this, Yvonne looked around, murmuring, “Mom... Mom is not here...”
Listening to Yvonne’s anxious voice, Estelle couldn’t sit still any longer. She opened the guest room door, quickly walked out, and said, “Yvonne, Yohan, I’m here!”
With her eyes brightening with joy, Yvonne turned around, rushed over, and threw herself into Estelle’s arms.
Then she put her arms around Estelle’s neck and said in a sweet voice, “Mom, Dad is so awesome. He saved you!”
Observing Estelle and then casting a glance at Cristofer, Yohan inquired, “Dad, both you and Mom are all wet. Was the bad guy you fought today a lake monster, like the Loch Ness Monster?”
Upon hearing this, Cristofer's expression softened into a warm smile, and he replied, “Yes, it was. It kidnapped your Mom and tried to escape, but I managed to catch up with it after a long chase and saved your Mom.”
“Dad, you’re amazing! You not only caught the bad guy but also defeated it and rescued Mom!” Yvonne exclaimed, gazing at Cristofer with admiration in her wide eyes.
She added, “Yohan, our Dad is truly as handsome and powerful as you said!”
Yohan proudly said, “I didn’t lie to you, did I?”
“No, no, no. Dad is the most powerful superhero!”
Listening to the heartfelt praise from the two children, Cristofer couldn’t help but wear a delighted smile.
In the three years since their last meeting, Yohan had grown significantly, and now he bore a striking resemblance to Cristofer.
Cristofer couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of emotion as he gazed at Yohan’s face. He found the bond of blood truly enchanting.
Despite having only met a few times in the past, when they reunited, there was no sense of unfamiliarity between him and Yohan. Their connection was so natural and intimate like they had been living together for a long time.
Cristofer then looked at Yvonne.
Yvonne had Estelle’s eyes. Whenever he saw her big and bright eyes, he would think of Estelle.
“Dad, hug me.” Yvonne got out of Estelle’s arms and rushed to Cristofer again.
Yohan also threw himself into Cristofer's arms, asking, “Dad, could you tell me how you saved Mom?”
“Dad, I want to listen to the story of the prince and the princess!” Yvonne quickly interrupted.
The two of them had seldom seen their father ever since they were born.
The last time they had seen Cristofer, they hadn’t had much time together. Now that they were reunited with him, they were filled with joy and clung to him affectionately.
Cristofer had come to check on the children because he had been concerned about their well-being. Originally, he had planned to leave after ensuring they were fine.
However, as he looked at the two children, his hesitation grew. He found it difficult to part with these two adorable kids so soon.
Casting a glance at Estelle, he silently asked her with his eyes if he could stay.
Seeing his soaked appearance, Estelle agreed, saying, “You’re also drenched from the rain. You should go take a hot shower first.”
Before Cristofer could say anything, Yohan and Yvonne cheered. Then, each of them took him by the hand and pulled him to the bathroom.
“Dad, the bathroom is over there. Let me take you there!”
“Come with us, Dad! Mom bought me a new shower gel. You can use it!”
Halfway to the bathroom, Yohan thought of something and ran back to Estelle.
Taking her hand and pulling her toward the bathroom, he said gently, “Mom, you also need to take a hot shower, or you’ll catch a cold!”
Startled, Estelle immediately held him back and said, “Let your Dad take a shower first. I’ll take a shower later.”
“No!” Yohan pouted and said stubbornly, “If you catch a cold, Yvonne, Grandma, and I will be sad, and Dad will also be sad, so you should take a shower right now.”
“But I...”
“Mom...” Yohan said and continued to pull her.
When he raised his head, his eyes happened to meet Cristofer, and then he smiled meaningfully at Cristofer.
Yohan thought, ‘Dad, this is what I can do for you. You should seize the chance and make up with Mom!’
Once Estelle and Cristofer entered the bathroom, Yohan and Yvonne promptly closed and locked the door from the outside.
Inside, Estelle turned the doorknob repeatedly, attempting to open it, but to no avail.
After a while, Aurora’s voice came from outside.
“Ahem... Estelle, I’ll take the children to the guest room to sleep. I’ve placed dry clothes on the living room sofa for you. You can change into them after your shower.”
Estelle then heard the two kids giggling and running away.
Their laughter and Aurora’s words made the atmosphere in the bathroom even more awkward.
At this time, the bathroom was full of steam, and the temperature began to rise. And the light in the bathroom was off, and it was dark.
“Star, the water is ready.” A familiar voice came from nearby, slightly hoarse and full of gentleness.
Estelle suddenly thought of the rainy night three years ago. That night, the thunder growled menacingly, and Mr. Mysterious rushed back to Rose Garden in the rain to keep her company and told her not to be afraid.
At that time, he was also wet. And Yohan asked her to help Mr. Mysterious to take a shower.
Estelle couldn’t see Cristofer clearly in the dark bathroom with dense steam but could feel his hot body temperature. She knew he was standing in front of her and gazing at her.
The scene in Estelle’s memory was so similar to what was happening at the moment that she almost couldn’t tell whether she was in a dream or reality.
The next moment, tears streamed down her cheeks.
“The temperature of the water in the bathtub is just right. You can take a bath,” Cristofer said gently, pulling her back to reality.
“What about you?” Estelle asked.
“I’ll take a shower in the shower stall.”
Somehow, Estelle reached out her hand and gently touched his left arm.
“Your arm... Does it still hurt?” she asked in a trembling voice.
“It doesn’t hurt now... But... how do you know my arm hurts?”
