HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 59: Don't Lie To me

Hearing the word “husband”, Cristofer felt a little awkward. Then he said with a serious look, “I have a lot of work to do every day, so I can’t be on standby to answer your phone at any time. Besides, the employees of the company also have their work to do. They have no obligation to deal with their boss’ private affairs. Don’t call the company during working hours again.” Hearing that, Gretchen knew that he was displeased. She immediately softened her tone and said, as she walked to him to help him untie his tie, “I’m sorry. I won’t do that again. Let me help you.” “No, thanks. I’ll do it myself.” Cristofer refused. After changing his shoes, he walked into the living room, sat on the sofa, and closed her eyes to rest. The room was tranquil. Gretchen sat beside him and asked softly, “Are you busy recently? You look exhausted.” Cristofer didn’t reply to her. “Cristofer?” “Yes,” After a long time, Cristofer said. “Gretchen, leave me alone for a while.” However, Gretchen didn’t listen to him. She leaned on his shoulder, sniffed his shirt, and said, “No. I’ll smell if any other woman’s scent is on your...” “Enough, Gretchen!” Cristofer pushed her away and shouted. “Will you cut it out? I’m tired. Leave me alone!” Gretchen was stunned by his roar and then got angry. “What’s your problem? I just want to stay with you. Why are you so irritable? Or were you really staying with another woman this afternoon?” “Can you stop being ridiculous?” Cristofer couldn’t put up with her anymore. “I’m ridiculous?” Gretchen’s face changed, and she snarled, “My husband couldn’t be contacted and didn’t tell me where he had gone. It’s normal for me to be suspicious!” “I’m not your husband. We are not married yet,” Cristofer said and sighed. Then he stood up, grabbed the car key, and went to the door to change his shoes. Gretchen caught up with him and asked, “What are you doing? Are you leaving?” “I’ll find a quiet place to sleep.” “You have a guilty conscience, right? You have an affair, so don’t dare answer my question.

Cristofer, I’ve been with you for six years. But now you fall in love with another woman. You really let me down.” Cristofer closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he opened his eyes and said, “Gretchen, I have a question for you.” Gretchen said snappishly, “What do you want to ask?” “Is what Rebecca said true?” Cristofer asked. “You had abortions before, and you can’t have a child anymore. Is that true?” Gretchen’s face turned pale when she heard that. Then she flew into a rage instantly and said, “Cristofer, Rebecca is Estelle’s friend. She slandered me on purpose for Estelle. Do you believe what she said? I was pregnant with your child, but I miscarried because of Estelle. Did you forget that?” Cristofer nodded and said, “So what Rebecca said is not true, right?” “Have you checked my medical records in the hospital?” Gretchen asked with a guilty conscience. “Not yet. I want to ask you first. Gretchen. Don’t lie to me. You know I hate to be deceived most.” Gretchen hesitated momentarily and said, “... I didn’t lie to you.” “Okay.” “Cristofer, do you trust me?” Gretchen was agitated. Cristofer nodded and said, “I trust you, Gretchen. And I hope you won’t lie to me, otherwise...” “Otherwise, what?” Gretchen looked at him anxiously. Cristofer opened his mouth but then shut it back. ‘If Gretchen lies to me, what should I do?’ ‘Break up with her? No, Gretchen accompanied me when I was helpless and had a hard time. I can’t be so ruthless.’ ‘But...Do I still want to get married to her?’ On the way back here, he kept thinking about the scene where Estelle held Yvonne in her arms. He was even absent-minded while driving and almost rear-ended the car in front of him. Every time he thought of Estelle in the past six years, he would feel pain and want to cut all ties with her. But somehow, when he finally could get rid of her, he didn’t want to divorce her. He thought that

it was destined that they couldn’t cut off their connections because they had a daughter now. When Cristofer thought about Yvonne, his expression softened. Sometimes he felt that the blood relationship was magical. No matter how unhappy he was, he would calm down and be in a better mood when he held Yvonne in his arms. Yvonne always smiled and was very obedient. Every time he thought of her, he would feel happy. **** While Cristofer was lost in thought, Gretchen suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist. She hugged him from behind and leaned her head against his back. In a sobbing voice, she said, “Cristofer, are you worried that I can’t get pregnant?” Cristofer tried to get her hand off his waist and said, “No, I’m not. Don’t think too much.” “You are! You are influenced by what Rebecca said. Cristofer, don’t worry. I’ll get pregnant again and give birth to a child for you. And we have Yvonne now. I will be a good mother. I’ll treat her as my own daughter and take good care of her even if we have our own children in the future.” Cristofer said gently, “Gretchen, let go of me.” “No! I won’t let you go! You’ll leave as soon as I let go of you. You haven’t been back for many days. How can I get pregnant living alone? The butler will take care of Yvonne. Don’t worry about her. Cristofer, stay with me tonight, please.” ‘Stay with me, please…’ The words were so familiar that Cristofer suddenly recalled that Estelle had said the same words to him before. One year ago, Estelle called him at midnight and said that he must go back home and stay with her for a night if he wanted to get divorced. He still remembered what had happened that night. “Cristofer, what’s wrong with you today? Why are you always absent-minded? Did you hear me?” Gretchen asked as she slowly unbuttoned his shirt. Her voice wrenched Cristofer’ mind back to the present. Cristofer stepped back to avoid her hands and buttoned his shirt, coming to his senses. Then he said, “I have something to deal with in the company tonight. I have to go now. Go to bed early. Let me know when you need anything.”

After saying that, he hurriedly left the apartment as fast as possible. It was not until he got into his car that he felt peace and silence. He lit a cigarette, drew heavily on it, and started coughing. And his eyes watered from cigarette smoke. On the screen of his phone, a received call from Vincent was at the top of the call log. Just now, when Cristofer had just arrived here, he received a call from Vincent. Vincent told him on the phone that Gretchen did have an abortion before, and she had bribed the doctor to remove the medical record. However, she forgot to remove the drug purchase record. And the drugs that she bought were for those who had an abortion.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
