After all, text message love is no different from cyber love.
Hearing this, Aurora asked with her face full of mistrust, “Is that man reliable? Are you sure he’s a good person? You are not lying to me, are you?”
Before Estelle could say anything, Yohan spoke for Mr. Mysterious, “Grandma, my Dad is very, very reliable!”
“Estelle, you even asked Yohan to call that man Dad? Has he seen that man? Well, since Yohan has said so, it means you are serious about relationships, right?” Aurora asked, still very surprised.
“Yes...” Estelle said and nodded in shyness.
“Grandma, I have two dads, a previous dad, and a new dad,” Yohan said seriously to Aurora. “My new dad is awesome. He’s a superhero, just like Iron Man. He can save the world! He goes to work at dawn and returns home very late every day!”
“A... superhero?” Aurora couldn’t believe what she had heard.
“Yes!” Yohan nodded and said firmly, “Although I don’t know what kind of superpower he has, I know that he is very, very powerful!”
Hearing what Yohan had said, Aurora was lost for words and looked at Estelle helplessly as if saying, “You are ridiculous”.
After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and said, “Estelle, your boyfriend is a superhero? Are you serious? Come here. Let me see if you are having a fever and being delirious.”
As she spoke, she touched Estelle’s forehead. “You don’t have a fever. Then why do you...”
“Mom,” Estelle took Aurora’s hand off her forehead and interrupted her. “I’m fine, and I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry about me, and don’t think too much.”
“Estelle, is it because what Cristofer has done is a big blow to you that you go insane? How about... you go to see a psychiatrist?” Aurora asked.
Estelle found herself at a loss for words, unsure of how to explain the situation to her mother. She also felt a sense of helplessness.
She couldn’t tell Aurora the identity of Mr. Mysterious. Nor could she bring Mr. Mysterious to see Aurora.
‘Mr. Mysterious has said that he will live with his true identity when he finishes dealing with everything. I’ll bring him here to see Mom and explain everything to her then.’
‘Mom will definitely be astonished when she sees Mr. Mysterious, who looks the same as Cristofer.’
While they were talking, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Rebecca’s voice came, “Auntie Aurora, I’m here again! This time I will bring the healthcare products Estelle bought for you!”
When she came into the ward with several boxes of healthcare products, she saw Estelle.
“Estelle, you are here!” Rebecca was pleasantly surprised.
“Hi, Rebecca. Thank you very much. Have a seat, please,” Aurora said with a smile. Then she said to Estelle, “Estelle, don’t trouble Rebecca with such a trifle as sending me food or health care products anymore. The nurses here take good care of me, and I eat well daily.”
“Auntie Rebecca!” At this time, Yohan waved at Rebecca happily and greeted her, “Long time no see. I miss you so much!”
When Rebecca saw Yohan, her eyes brightened. Then she pinched his cute face gently and said, “Yohan, I miss you too! You’re more and more lovely!”
Yohan chuckled and exclaimed, “That’s because I’m Mom’s child. She is lovely, so I’m lovely too!”
“Oh, my God! I also want to have such a good son! Estelle, I envy you more than before. You are blessed with two such lovable babies!” Rebecca marveled.
Hearing her grandchildren being praised, Aurora was happy. “Rebecca, get married soon, and you can also have such lovely children.”
Rebecca, who had been asked to get married as soon as possible countless times, was tired of hearing such words.
After tipping Estelle a wink, she took Estelle’s hand and pulled her out of the ward as she changed the topic, “Auntie Aurora, it suddenly occurred to me that I have something to talk about with Estelle. You may stay with the children for a while. We’ll be back soon.”
Rebecca pulled Estelle out of the in-patient building quickly and didn’t stop until they arrived at the small garden downstairs.
“Estelle, I didn’t expect that Auntie Aurora would also urge me to get married like my dad,” she said and panted.
Estelle smiled and gratefully said, “Rebecca, thank you for caring for my mother these days.”
“Don’t mention it. We are friends. Besides, Auntie Aurora is always kind and gentle, and I like to stay with her. If only my mom could be as gentle as her,” Rebecca stated. “Well, let’s not talk about this. We haven’t seen each other for a few days. How are things with you?”
The two of them then began to talk about their recent life.
When Rebecca heard that Estelle had met Mr. Mysterious, she was not surprised at all. Instead, she smiled and said proudly, “Sure enough, I guessed right. Mr. Mysterious has loved you for so many years. It was because you had been with Cristofer before that he couldn’t chase after you. And he didn’t dare to let you see his face because he was afraid that you would be disgusted with him and won’t accept him when you find that he looks the same as Cristofer.”
“Yeah,” Estelle nodded.
“Since I heard from Justin that Cristofer had a twin brother, I was sure that Mr. Mysterious was Cristofer's brother! I’m so smart! Estelle, you can call me Rebecca Holmes,” Rebecca said happily.
Hearing this, Estelle chuckled. “By the way, how is everything going between you and Justin?”
“We broke up.”
“What?! You broke up?” Estelle was stunned at how plainly Rebecca spilled these words.
“I reunited with him solely to gather information about Mr. Mysterious for your benefit. Now that you know Mr. Mysterious’s identity, I no longer require Justin’s company. Additionally, I’m frustrated with being employed by him!” Expressing her dissatisfaction, Rebecca couldn’t resist complaining, “Estelle, in your perception, Justin has always appeared as a kind and courteous individual, right?”
Estelle nodded affirmatively and replied, “Yes.”
“It’s a complete misconception!” Rebecca huffed. “He likely sought to retaliate against me, so he had me work as his assistant. I assumed my role would be straightforward, merely answering phone calls and managing emails on a daily basis. But guess what?”
“To torture me, he asked me to serve him coffee more than twenty times one day in the afternoon. Whenever I returned to my seat after serving him the coffee, he called me through the internal line to ask for one more cup. Wasn’t he afraid that he would suffer from caffeinism after drinking so much coffee?”
