HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 22: A Person Who Can Help You

“So what?” Gretchen snorted contemptuously and said, “Your father is dead, and now the Hudson Group has nothing to do with you and your mother. I can kick your mother out of the house at any time.” “You...” Before Estelle could say anything, Gretchen hung up the phone. Looking at the screen, Estelle felt distressed when thinking about her current situation. Her mother was seriously ill, and her daughter was taken away. Besides, her bank accounts were frozen, and she had no money to pay the hospital bill. What should I do now? What should I do to arrange everything well before I die? She thought in despair. She just wanted to prove her innocence and let Cristofer know the truth about the car accident six years ago before she died. She just wanted him to know that she had never lied to him or schemed to harm him. However, the cruel reality was a slap in Estelle’s face. Troubles came one after another, and she had to face more difficulties than she had thought. She couldn’t even protect her mother and daughter, not to mention to prove her innocence. When Estelle was lost in thought, she received a message. Do you want to save your mother? Come to Room 1231 of the Grand Hotel of Hadale City at nine o’clock tonight. Estelle was confused and found that the message was from a strange number. Who are you? She replied to the message. A person who can help you. **** “Who called me just now?” Cristofer walked out of the bathroom with a lovely baby in his arms. The baby was not afraid of him at all. She looked straight at Cristofer with her big eyes and smiled sweetly at him. Several minutes ago, she was still crying loudly when Cristofer bathed her. But at this moment, sheRêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

looked very happy. Cristofer held the baby in his arms carefully and looked affectionately at her. With tenderness in his eyes, he thought, This is my daughter. This is the child of me and... Estelle. Then he remembered what his special assistant had reported to him on the investigation of Estelle’s children last night. “Mr. Hans, Estelle’s son, was taken abroad, so we couldn’t get his DNA for a paternity test. As for her daughter, according to the paternity test result, the daughter that Estelle gave birth to not long ago is indeed your child.” When Cristofer heard that, his heart skipped a beat and was lost in thought. One year ago, Estelle used our divorce as a bargaining chip and begged me to go back home and have sex with her. Did she do all this just to have a child? Or did she think that after she gave birth to our baby, I would let go of the past and forgive her for what she had done before? No way. I will never forgive her! And I won’t let my daughter live with a cunning and vicious woman like her. The daughter of Cristofer and Estelle was very beautiful. She had big watery eyes, a beautiful nose, a cherry-like mouth, and a cute round face. When she smiled, her eyes looked like crescent moons. Cristofer felt that the blood relationship was magical. When he first saw his daughter in the hospital, he couldn’t take his eyes off her and couldn’t help smiling. “Yvonne,” Cristofer whispered and looked at the baby. “From now on, your name is Yvonne. Do you like this name?” Yvonne smiled and made cooing noises as if she was very happy that she finally had a name. Gretchen got close to Cristofer and said, “What a nice name.” Cristofer fixed his eyes on Yvonne and said in an unprecedentedly gentle tone, “It was Estelle who named her. She once said that our child would be named Yvonne if it was a girl and named Yohan if it was a boy.” “Who did you say named the baby?” Gretchen asked. It was not until then that Cristofer realized what he had said. Then he said in a low voice, “Sorry. I

shouldn’t have mentioned her.” With a displeased look, Gretchen stared at Yvonne with coldness in her eyes. The next moment, she showed a gentle look and said, “Cristofer, since Yvonne is your daughter, I will take her as my own daughter in the future. It must be that God pitied me for my miscarriage, so he let little Yvonne come to me. I will treat her well. Let me look after her, will you?” “I’ll ask Luke to take care of her.” Cristofer refused her directly. “... You don’t trust me?” Gretchen asked in surprise. Cristofer said noncommittally, “Your ankle hasn’t recovered. You should have a good rest these days.” “Okay...” “By the way, who called me just now?” Cristofer remembered and asked her. With a long face, Gretchen said unhappily, “It was just a crank call. I answered the phone and scolded the caller.” Cristofer nodded and said, “You may just reject it if you receive crank calls in the future. It’s a waste of time scolding those annoying guys.” “I see.” Cristofer gently put Yvonne into the crib, turned around, and asked, “By the way, you are York’s stepdaughter, right? Why didn’t you tell me about it before?” Hearing that, Gretchen was stunned and froze. “I... I was afraid that you would think too much, so I didn’t tell you about it,” She reasoned. Cristofer frowned slightly, “I wanted to reinvestigate the car accident six years ago, so I went to the Hudson’s House today. I wanted to ask Aurora if there was anything wrong with her husband before the car accident six years ago. But I was surprised to find that you were there and that your mother is York’s wife. Do you know that York was the very one who forcibly occupied the Hans family’s property after the car accident? What he is enjoying now is the fruit of my parents’ painstaking efforts!” Gretchen held his arm and said in a sobbing tone, “I know about it, so I didn’t dare to tell you that I’m York’s stepdaughter. I’m afraid that you will break up with me because of my relationship with

York. Cristofer, I have no blood relationship with York. And my mother didn’t know about his past when she married him.”
