HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 36: I'll Help You Deal With The Baby

Hearing that, Melody was silent for a while. Then she sighed and said, “Cristofer won’t be together with Estelle anymore. After all, in his heart, Estelle is the one who killed his parents. Even if he still has feelings for Estelle, he won’t be reconciled with her.” “But... Cristofer seemed to have doubts about the car accident six years ago and wanted to open the reinvestigation. I don’t know if Estelle has said something to him. The last time he came here, he wanted to ask Aurora about the car accident. Estelle was also here that day. Fortunately, I managed to irritate Estelle, and later she left with Aurora.” “Gretchen, are you sure you have dealt with the two cars in that accident?” Melody suddenly was anxious. Gretchen nodded and said firmly, “Of course. The two cars were badly damaged. And not long after the accident, they were scrapped. I can assure you, the two cars are a pile of scrap iron already. Don’t worry. No one would find that the brakes of the two cars have tampered.” “That’s good,” Melody was relieved. “It’s been six years. Even if Cristofer wants to reinvestigate the car accident, he may not be able to find out the truth. Now, you have to deal with the child of Estelle and Cristofer. Estelle is not a threat to you anymore. Even if she is, we can find a way to make her disappear from the world. I’m worried that Cristofer will pay more attention to the child than you.” Thinking of Yvonne, Gretchen said unhappily, “Cristofer loves that little bastard very much. Whenever he was with her, he carried her in his arms all the time. And he would feed her and change diapers for her personally. I’ve never seen a man who can take care of a baby so well. Besides, he doesn’t believe me. He sent that little bastard to the Hans’ Residence and asked a butler to look after the child. Yesterday, when I offered to go to the Hans’ Residence to look after that child, he refused me without hesitation!” “Don’t worry. I’ll help you deal with the baby,” Melody patted her shoulder. “I won’t allow you to become a stepmother of their child.” **** Since York was the leader of the leading enterprise in Hadale, many rich and influential people came to Melody’s birthday party. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

The party was held in the Hudson’s House. The huge garden of the Hudson’s House was once managed by Mrs. Moorsum, too, before it was reconstructed into a huge pool after York and Melody moved here. Around the swimming pool, there were many tables with food and champagne towers placed on them. Gretchen, who had changed into a Chanel fur coat, waited at the gate long before she saw Cristofer’s Maybach come. “Cristofer!” When Cristofer got out of the car, she called his name happily. Before she could say anything else, she saw another man get out of the car, making her stunned. When Gretchen clearly saw the man’s face, she froze for a few seconds. The man waved at her and greeted, “Gretchen, long time no see.” With almost imperceptible displeasure, Gretchen pretended to be happy and surprised and said, “Hi, Frank! What are you doing here?” “There’s something wrong with Mr. Hans’ car. I’m here to check it for him,” The man named Frank casually mentioned. He was happy to see Gretchen and then began to chat with her. “We haven’t seen each other for about six years, right? Do you still remember the day when you first met Mr. Hans? When he came to our 4S shop, I should have been the one who received him. But it happened that you changed shifts with me temporarily that day. It ended up you were the one who received him. It can be said that I am the one bringing you two together.” Gretchen showed a fake smile and said, “Yes, I indeed haven’t seen you for a long time.” “You’re so lucky. After being with Mr. Hans, you enjoyed your life and traveled all over the world. You’ve become a rich lady while I’m still a wage earner and have to work from dawn to night every day. My yearly salary is not even enough to buy that pair of your shoes,” Frank remarked, carrying mockery. Hearing that, Gretchen took a look at her shoes. She wore the latest Versace high-heeled shoes, with dark blue satin vamp decorated with shining, eye-catching little diamonds. Melody specially bought them for her before the party.

“Gretchen, your shoes are so beautiful. The diamonds on them look like shining stars in the sky,” Frank complimented. Like stars? Gretchen’s smile froze at the thought that Estelle’s nickname was Star. When Cristofer heard what Frank had said, his serious expression softened, and he looked down at Gretchen’s shoes. Then he frowned slightly and thought, Indeed, the dark blue satin looks like the night sky, and the diamonds look like shining stars. Star... Seeing him stare at the shoes and lost in thought, Gretchen came forward, held his arm, and asked, “Cristofer, what are you thinking about? You look absent-minded.” Cristofer looked away and said, “Nothing. Let’s get inside first.” “Okay,” Gretchen replied to him happily. Cristofer then turned around and said to Frank, “Frank, there seems to be something wrong with the brakes. Could you help me adjust it?” Frank patted his chest and said confidently, “Mr. Hans, you may rest assured. I’ve worked in this industry for many years and know about all kinds of vehicle failure. I can tell at a glance if something is wrong with a car. Don’t worry. I’ll help you fix it.” Hearing that, Cristofer suddenly stopped his steps and asked, “You know well about all kinds of vehicle failure?” “Yes, especially the luxury cars.” “What about the Land Rover?” “Land Rover cars are different from the cars of other brands. The chassis of Land Rover cars are made of specially-made steel plates, and their structures are complicated. Mr. Hans, do you have a Land Rover? I know well about the Land Rover series. You may contact me anytime if you need to have your Land Rover serviced.” “I don’t have a Land Rover,” Cristofer replied to him. “If your friends need car maintenance, you can introduce them to me,” Frank said enthusiastically. “Frank, if a Land Rover has been damaged in a serious car accident caused by brake failure, can you find out what caused the brake failure?” Cristofer asked again.

After a pause, Frank said, “It depends on the extent of the damage.” “It has been severely deformed. And when the serious car accident happened, the people in the car were killed instantly.”
