HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 107: Reliable Man

‘If he’s really Rebecca’s ex-boyfriend, then everything that happened makes sense!’ ‘He was in a relationship with Rebecca, so perhaps he knew me from her. With his ability, it is easy for him to know everything about me. Did he help me for the sake of Rebecca?’ ‘Mr. Mysterious once said that he had a beloved woman. Is that woman Rebecca?’ ‘No, it can’t be her. Mr. Mysterious once mentioned that the woman had been married. Rebecca hasn’t been married and is still single.’ Thinking of this, Estelle felt puzzled. “Estelle, the more I think about it, the more I feel that Mr. Mysterious is my ex-boyfriend,” Rebecca took a deep breath and said. Estelle then suddenly asked, “Rebecca, you have never been married, have you?” Hearing her question, Rebecca fell into silence and didn’t say a word for a long time. Estelle’s heart sank when she saw Rebecca’s reaction. After the long silence, Rebecca sighed and said, “Well, to tell you the truth, I was married once.” “What? When did you get married before?” Estelle asked as her eyes widened in surprise. “About six years ago,” Rebecca said, looking very upset. “Well, I had no choice at that time. I dumped my ex-boyfriend and married someone else. He must hate me very much. Since we broke up, he has never contacted me again.” Hearing that, Estelle was too shocked to utter a word. After a few seconds, she asked, “Why... Why did you...” “I got married because I wanted to adopt a girl. She was only twelve years old at that time. Due to school violence, she committed suicide many times. I also suffered school violence when we were in high school, so when I knew about her situation, I felt sorry for her and wanted to adopt her.” “According to the rules, only couples could adopt a child. But I knew my ex-boyfriend and his family wouldn’t agree to let me adopt her. So... I registered for marriage with someone else and then adopted that child without telling my ex-boyfriend,” Rebecca said. After hearing the whole story, Estelle didn’t know what to say. She didn’t expect that Rebecca was married before.

“Rebecca, where is your husband now?” she asked. “We divorced a long time ago. We got married just to adopt the girl. Back then, when I proposed to get married to him and adopt that child, he agreed without hesitation. And after adopting the girl, we got divorced. Later my father knew about it and almost beat me!” “Then what about that girl?” Estelle asked. “That volunteer is taking care of her,” Rebecca said as she took out her phone and showed the pictures of the girl to Estelle. “Look, she is eighteen years old now and has completely got rid of the shadow of the past. Besides, she has been a freshman at the best university in Hadale and is living a happy life.” “Estelle, sometimes I would wonder whether what I had done was right or wrong. I saved the girl, but meanwhile, I broke my ex-boyfriend’s heart. I contacted him several times after I got divorced, but he was very cold to me. Later, I had to give up on him. Maybe it is fate that we can’t be together. But it doesn’t matter. Seeing this girl grow up happily, I think what I did was worth it. Nothing is more important than saving a life.” Hearing this, Estelle just nodded. As more and more evidence showed that Mr. Mysterious was Rebecca’s ex-boyfriend, she had mixed feelings. Then she suddenly remembered that Mr. Mysterious had said that he was guilty of his beloved woman. “Rebecca, did your ex-boyfriend have a new girlfriend after you two broke up?” she asked. Speaking of this, Rebecca said in depression, “Yes. Once I went to see him, he introduced his new girlfriend to me and showed off their love in front of me. I cried after I came back and was sad because of him for a long time.” “...” “Alas. I dumped him, and he also made me sad. We’re even. Anyway, we haven’t seen each other since then, and we won’t be together again. Just let bygones be bygones,” Rebecca said. Taking a deep breath, Estelle asked the uppermost question in her mind as her heart beat faster, “Rebecca, may I know who your ex-boyfriend is?”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Rebecca sighed and answered, “It’s Justin Roberts.” “The president of Roberts Real Estate Group?” Estelle’s eyes widened in surprise. “Yes,” Rebecca said and nodded. ‘Mr. Mysterious is Justin…’ Estelle thought in disbelief. She had met Justin once before. On her eighteenth birthday, her father held a birthday party for her at the Grand Hotel of Hadale City and invited many of his friends. She remembered that Justin also went to the party. At that time, she was still in love with Cristofer and didn’t pay much attention to Justin. She only remembered that Cristofer once said that Justin was very excellent and was the only one who could compare with him in Hadale. Rebecca continued, “Tim is Justin’s younger brother. Back then, Tim insisted on running his jewelry company but Justin wanted him to work in Roberts Real Estate Group. They argued because of this and Justin froze Tim’s bank account in a fit of anger. And when Tim had no money, I helped him.” Hearing this, Estelle nodded and said, “No wonder you recommended me for the job in Only Love Jewelry. You knew that he would hire me as long as you recommended me to him because he owed you a favour, right?” “Hey, hey. Although I didn’t become his sister-in-law, we are still friends. So, when I recommended you to him and asked him to give you a chance for an interview, he agreed without hesitation. But you got the job because you are competent, not because of my relationship with Tim,” Rebecca said smilingly. Estelle then picked up her phone and searched for Justin’s information on the Internet. Justin was indeed very excellent. He graduated from a famous university with dual degrees in Architecture and Business. When he was in university, he was a Straight-A student. After taking over Roberts Real Estate Group from his father, he expanded his business rapidly in the country and became a billionaire. “Estelle, what are you thinking about?” Rebecca asked and waved her hand in front of Estelle’s eyes when seeing her in a daze. “Don’t think too much and just follow your heart. I’ve broken up with Justin for six years, and we haven’t contacted each other for a long time. Now, we are like

strangers. If he is Mr. Mysterious, that will be good. He’s a nice and reliable man, and you will be happy if you are with him.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
