Seeing the last sentence, Estelle thought, ‘Mr. Mysterious is so considerate that he especially found an apartment not far from the hospital so that I can be sent to the hospital in time if my physical condition deteriorates.’
Rebecca was still introducing the apartment to her. “Estelle, the landlady, is very, very enthusiastic. When she called me and said that she would rent out the apartment at a low price, I was stunned. Is it so difficult to rent out an apartment now? By the way, how did she get my phone number?”
Estelle walked over and said gently, “Maybe she got your number from a real estate agency. Did you contact the agency?”
“No, she called me before I contacted the agency. Well, it’s so strange.” Rebecca said with a confused look.
Estelle then asked softly, “Didn’t she tell you how she got your number on the phone?”
“Let me see...” With a frown, Rebecca thought for a while and then shook her head, saying, “No, she didn’t tell me about it. When I answered the phone, she came straight to the point and asked me to come and have a look at the apartment. It’s so coincidental that she wants to rent out the apartment when you want to rent one.”
Hearing this, Estelle nodded and said, “Maybe it’s fate.”
“Is it? But I feel that it’s weird. Estelle, could it be that my phone is being tapped or someone bugged my house? Oh my God. It’s so scary. I’ll call the police now. Don’t rent this apartment. I’ll help you find another place to live.” Rebecca said as she took out her phone to call the police.
Seeing this, Estelle immediately stopped her and said, “Don’t call the police, Rebecca. This apartment... was found by Mr. Mysterious for me.”
“Justin found it for you?” Rebecca was surprised.
“I suppose so,” Estelle said.
“Wow, Justin is so considerate now. He has become totally different from what he used to be,” Rebecca said and sighed with emotion. “Maybe this is the power of love!”
Estelle visited the rooms one by one and found that Mr. Mysterious had given full consideration to every aspect of her life.
One of the two secondary bedrooms was redecorated into a children’s room, where there was a small single bed and a crib.
The floor was carpeted with soft cashmere carpet, and in the corner were many toys that were popular among boys.
Estelle took a closer look at the crib and saw a pink quilt with lace and many soft and cute fluffy toys on it. Obviously, they were prepared for Yvonne.
Above the crib hung a string of star-shaped ornaments with small bells in them. When being gently touched, the ornaments would sway, and the bells would make pleasant tinkles.
‘He must have spent a lot of time on the decoration,’ Estelle thought.
Then she went to the master bedroom and saw a double bed that was even bigger than the one in Room 1231 of the Grand Hotel of Hadale City.
It was self-evident why Mr. Mysterious bought such a large double bed.
Estelle had slept on the same bed with him before, but when looking at the bed, she still couldn’t help but blush.
‘It seems that he put having a child on the agenda after I said that I’m willing to give birth to a child for him.’
I’ve just had surgery, so Mr. Mysterious won’t have sex with me regardless of my health now. But since we will live together in the future, we will sooner or later do that.’
While Estelle was letting her mind wander, Rebecca ran over and said excitedly, “Estelle, see what I’ve found!”
Estelle took a closer look at the stuff in Rebecca’s hand and found it was a bag of diapers in Yvonne’s size.
“Mr. Mysterious is so caring. In addition to the diapers, he also prepared many other baby products, such as feeding bottles, milk powders, and teethers. Estelle, I envy you so much,” Rebecca said and then took Estelle to the other secondary bedroom.
There was a single bed, a sofa and a set of desks and chairs in this bedroom.
The sofa was full of stuff that Mr. Mysterious bought for the two children, including the baby products for Yvonne and the schoolbag and stationery for Yohan.
Seeing the piggy bank on the desk, Estelle guessed that Mr. Mysterious had specially bought it to help Yohan develop a good habit of saving.
Rebecca couldn’t help marvelling at Mr. Mysterious’ thoughtfulness and said, “Mr. Mysterious is so attentive and considerate. He did more things for the children than the children’s father did.”
‘The children’s father?’ Estelle thought of Cristofer and shook her head.
‘He was indeed very considerate to me before the car accident. But since Gretchen came to him, he has given all his consideration and gentleness to her. And for her, he hurt me again and again.’
“Estelle,” Rebecca said with a sigh. “I hope you can live a good life with Mr. Mysterious. He is a thousand times better than Cristofer.”
“Then... What about you?” Estelle asked.
At the thought that Justin and Rebecca used to be a couple, she always felt a little guilty and felt that it was she who split them up.
Hearing her words, Rebecca burst into laughter and said, “Have you forgotten that I have a boyfriend now? Howard is a little childish. He will be angry and jealous if he hears what you said.”
“Rebecca, an agreement is an agreement. Don’t fall in love with him. He is not a reliable man,” Estelle reminded her.
“I see. I see. I know what I’m doing. My parents nag me at home, and now you begin to nag me too,” Rebecca said with a helpless smile.
“I’m just worried about you and don’t want you to be hurt by him,” Estelle said softly.
“I know,” Rebecca said as she took Estelle’s hand. “Don’t worry, Estelle. I know what kind of person Howard is.”
At this time, Yohan ran over happily, throwing himself into Estelle’s arms and rubbing his face against her belly. “Mom, is that room for Yvonne and me?”
As he moved, Estelle felt a pain in her incision. However, she didn’t push him away for fear that he was worried about her. Instead, she gently held him in her arms, nodded, and said, “Yes. Do you like it, Yohan?”
“Yes, I love it!” Yohan said with his bright eyes sparkling. “Mom, how do you know I like Iron Man best? Did Uncle James tell you that?”
James didn’t tell her about it at all. He left in such a hurry that he didn’t even tell her his flight number.
“There are all kinds of Iron Man models in my room! And some of them are limited editions that I haven’t seen in Ameris! Wow, this stationery box and schoolbag are also Iron Man merchandise! Mom, I love you so much!”
