HONEY, Love Me One More Time novel Chapter 199

‘To be exact, Mr. Mysterious is twenty-nine years and seven months old. He and Cristofer are twin brothers, and they were born on the same day,’ Estelle thought. 
“Auntie Aurora, there’s no need to worry. Estelle’s new boyfriend genuinely loves her and treats her well. I must admit, I’m quite envious of Estelle,” Rebecca said with a smile, giving Estelle a playful wink.
Hearing this, Aurora chuckled. “Why do you envy Estelle? Don’t you also have a boyfriend who loves you very much now?”
Rebecca’s eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, “Auntie Aurora, how did you know that? Did Estelle tell you?”
Aurora then pointed at Rebecca’s collar.
Rebecca wore a V-neck white sweater today. Just now, she ran with Estelle to follow Gretchen and Melody. Therefore, her collar was a little askew at this moment, revealing the love bites on her chest.
Lowering her head, Rebecca was surprised when she saw the love bites. She hurriedly covered her chest and said, “These are mosquito bites!”
Seeing Rebecca’s bashful expression, Aurora nodded with a meaningful smile. Then she said gently, “You’d better not use concealer to cover it. Wear more breathable clothes these days. This sweater is beautiful, but it’s not breathable. And it may take longer for the bites to fade if you wear it.”
Rebecca blushed and muttered, “I will teach him a lesson the next time I see him.”
At this time, Yohan leaned over and asked with a curious look, “Auntie Rebecca, why did the mosquito only bite your chest?” 
As she gently touched Yohan's cheek, Rebecca expressed, “That mosquito is the absolute worst person in the entire universe!”
“Don’t be angry, Auntie Rebecca. I’ll tell Dad to beat the bad guy that bullied you!”
Rebecca then sighed with emotion and said, “Estelle, if I could also have such a cute child as Yohan after getting married, I might consider getting married soon.”
With Yohan and Rebecca’s presence, the atmosphere in the ward became vibrant and filled with laughter. It had been a while since Aurora felt such genuine happiness, and she cherished every moment of it.
In the evening, Aurora advised Estelle, “You can go back with the children. I noticed a young man pacing in the corridor. He’s waiting for you, isn’t he? Don’t keep him waiting. Estelle, regardless of our family’s current circumstances, always remember what your father taught you. Everyone is equal. There is no inherent lowliness or nobility. As long as your boyfriend is a kind person, he deserves to be cherished and treated well.”
“I understand, Mom,” Estelle acknowledged, nodding.
“When you have the opportunity, bring the children to visit your father’s and their grandparents’ graves,” Aurora added.
“Okay.”

When Estelle came out of the ward, Ron approached her and said with a gentle smile, “Miss Hudson, are you going back home?”
“Yes. I’m sorry to keep you waiting for so long.”
Ron then said with a brighter smile, “Miss Hudson, as long as you are happy, it doesn’t matter how long I wait.”
As soon as he finished his words, he felt that something was wrong.
Squinting at him, Rebecca asked with a meaningful look, “Ron, do you know what you are saying?”
Ron blushed and swiftly clarified, “Miss Miller, you’ve misunderstood me. Mr. Mysterious has faced numerous challenges over the years, and the only person who can bring him happiness is Miss Hudson. When Miss Hudson is in good spirits, Mr. Mysterious also experiences joy. I spoke those words earlier because I am genuinely happy for Mr. Mysterious, knowing that he can finally lead a contented life.”
Rebecca touched her chin in contemplation and nodded, saying, “Ah, that makes more sense.”
Hearing their conversation, Estelle couldn’t help but laugh and suggested, “Well, let’s go. Ron, please drive Rebecca home first and then take me and the children back home.”

In the car, Rebecca took out two tickets from her handbag and handed them to Estelle. “Oh, I almost forgot to give them to you.”
“These are... the tickets to Howards’ concert?”
Rebecca nodded earnestly and added, “Howard gave me a few tickets to his concert. They’re quite sought after and not easy to come by. These tickets are for the stall area, each worth thousands of dollars. If you and Mr. Mysterious have some free time, you should consider attending the concert together. Going to a concert as a couple can be a romantic experience.”
Hearing Rebecca’s suggestion, Estelle raised an eyebrow and reflected, “In the past, I had always yearned to attend a concert. However, at that time, I was preoccupied with my studies and never found the opportunity. Subsequently, various unexpected events unfolded in my life, leaving me feeling disoriented and disinterested in attending concerts. I recall during my youth, I compiled a wish list, and going to a concert was one of the aspirations I hoped to fulfill after graduating. It may sound somewhat childish now, doesn’t it?”
“A wish list?” Rebecca echoed with curiosity.
“Yes,” Estelle confirmed. “I had numerous desires and dreams during those carefree and naive days. I compiled a list of things I wanted to experience and achieve. However, as life unfolded and taught me its lessons, I became more grounded and realistic. Now, those childhood wishes no longer hold the same appeal to me.”
“You’re only twenty-six years old, and youth is still on your side,” Rebecca reassured with a smile. “You have plenty of time to fulfill your future wishes. Speaking of which, what other aspirations do you have besides going to the concert?”

“Go to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise and sunset.”
“Keep a puppy. Any breed is okay as long as it is healthy.”
“Buy a big house with a garden with my own money and plant Mom’s favorite sunflowers in the garden.”
“Buy a new car for Dad. His car is too old now, but he is always too frugal and is reluctant to buy a new one.”
“Acquire culinary skills and prepare delicious meals with impeccable appearance, delightful fragrance, and exquisite flavor exclusively for Cristofer on a daily basis.”
“Enjoy the spectacle of gazing at stars throughout the night from the Ferris wheel. I find that the stars become more vivid and easier to observe when they reach their highest point in the sky.”
“P.S. It would be most delightful if I could have the opportunity to watch the stars on the Ferris wheel alongside Cristofer. I hope that Cristofer knows my birthday wish for this year.”
“I hope I can see snow in Hadale.”
Holding a notebook in her hand, Gretchen perused the wishes one by one and couldn’t help but smirk, uttering in a chilly tone, “In Hadale, even during the coldest time of the year, the temperature never drops below fifteen degrees Celsius. How could it possibly snow? Is she out of her mind?”
