HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 213: Apologize To Estelle!

Hearing this, Cristofer breathed a sigh of relief, “Uncle Luke, why did Grandpa suddenly have a relapse?” With a furious expression, Luke stomped his feet forcefully, and through teary eyes, he exclaimed, “This is entirely your fault, Mr. Hans! You are well aware of Old Mr. Hans’ character. He has always been morally upright, unable to tolerate improper behavior. Earlier this morning, Gretchen called to inform us that she intended to visit Old Mr. Hans. Despite knowing that he dislikes her, she deliberately provoked him, causing him to become infuriated and ultimately suffer a sudden collapse.” It was the second time that Gretchen caused Gary to have a heart attack. “Does she want to irritate Grandpa in this way? She’s gone too far,” Estelle said with gritted teeth. Luke nodded, saying, “She must have wanted Old Mr. Hans dead! Old Mr. Hans said that he would never allow Gretchen to marry into the Hans family unless he were dead! Gretchen is so vicious that she deliberately calls to irritate Old Mr. Hans. I would have slapped her hard if she had been before me then!” He also gnashed his teeth when he spoke, “Last time, she hurt little Yvonne, and this time, she hurt Old Mr. Hans! Mr. Hans, don’t marry her.” Hearing this, Cristofer was silent for a while and then just said, “Let’s go to see Grandpa first.” “Mr. Hans, why are you so stubborn?” Luke pulled Cristofer's arm and persuaded him earnestly, “What’s good about her? To marry her, you even abandoned Estelle and the two children. Why?” Hearing that, Cristofer was speechless. Estelle didn’t want to listen to their conversation anymore and walked towards Gary’s room alone. When she was about to enter the room, the family doctor happened to come out. He didn’t know Estelle, so he was a little stunned when seeing her. “Miss, may I know who you are?” he asked. “I... I’m here to see Grandpa Gary,” Estelle informed. “But Old Mr. Hans is not in a good condition now. If you are not his family, I’m afraid that I can’t let you see him for the sake of his health.”

Estelle frowned slightly and stammered, “I... I’m Cristofer...” Before she could finish her words, the family doctor suddenly blocked the bedroom door with his body and stared at her warily with his eyes full of hostility. “Are you the woman who called Old Mr. Hans just now and made him have a heart attack?” “I...” When Estelle was about to explain, Luke and Cristofer came over. Hearing the doctor’s words, Luke quickly walked forward and explained, “Dr. Smith, this is Mrs. Hans, the very person that Old Mr. Hans always wants to see.” The doctor was shocked and then immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Hans. I haven’t seen you before, so...” “It’s okay. You call me Miss Hudson. I’m not anyone’s wife now.” “What?” “I have nothing to do with Cristofer. We have got divorced.” As soon as she finished her words, Gary’s weak voice came from the room, “Estelle? Is that Estelle?” “Yes, yes,” Luke replied, pulling Estelle into the room. “Old Mr. Hans, Estelle is here to see you.” Lying on the bed with a ghastly pale face, Gary was groggy and didn’t have the energy to speak, but he still tried his best to gather his strength and reached out his hand. “Estelle...” “Grandpa, I’m here.” She walked over and reached out a hand to hold Gary’s withered hand. Feeling the coldness of his hand, she considerately wrapped her hands around his to warm it up. Gary smiled and said, “I’m glad you’re here. It seems that you still care about Cristofer. Just now, I heard you say you’ve divorced Cristofer. That’s not true, is it?” Estelle remained silent. Seeing Luke keep winking at her anxiously, she sighed and answered in a low voice, “No...” “That’s good,” Gary said happily. He held Estelle’s hand tightly and then said to Luke, “I knew it. They have been together for soNôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

many years and won’t get divorced so easily.” Feeling a lump in his throat, Luke nodded and said, as his eyes turned red, “Old Mr. Hans, you need a good rest now. How about we talk later?” “No. I’m happy now. I want to talk!” Gary said and sighed with satisfaction, “Estelle is and will be the only granddaughter-in-law of our family. I won’t let any other woman marry Cristofer, especially Gretchen! She won’t marry into our family unless I die!” Hearing this, Luke couldn’t help but feel a little sad and disappointed. ‘But Mr. Hans seems determined to marry Gretchen. And it’s difficult to change his mind,’ he thought. “Where is Cristofer? Is he here?” Gary asked. “Yes, he’s here. He came together with Estelle.” “Really?” Gary was even happier when he heard this. “That’s more like it.” Cristofer then walked into the room and greeted him in a low voice, “Grandpa.” “You jerk!” Gary said as his face darkened at once, “You... Apologize to Estelle now! Promise her that you will treat her and your children well in the future and that you will never contact Gretchen again!” Estelle immediately stopped him, “Grandpa, I don’t need him to apologize.” “He must apologize to you!” Gary insisted, “Estelle, he has done many wrong things that made you sad before. He should apologize. Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll be on your side and won’t let anyone bully you, including Cristofer!” Seeing this, Luke patted Cristofer's back gently and urged him in a low voice, “Mr. Hans, do as Old Mr. Hans said quickly. Don’t make him angry anymore.” “I’m sorry,” Cristofer said with his head lowered. Gary was unsatisfied with his attitude, “Who are you apologizing to? Me?” “Estelle, I’m sorry.” “Do you think apologizing is enough?” Gary’s voice is still angry. Cristofer was speechless, and blue veins stood out on his temples. After a few seconds, he continued in a deep voice, “I will fulfill my responsibility as a father. I will pay

child support.” Hearing this, Gary sensed something wrong, “Why are you only talking about the children? You should promise Estelle that you will be good to her in the future and break up with Gretchen! If Estelle doesn’t forgive you, kneel and beg her!” “Grandpa,” Cristofer said and took a deep breath. “I can’t do it.” “What do you mean?” Gary was so furious that he struggled to sit up. Seeing this, Luke and Estelle were frightened and hurried to help him. Gary was extremely weak. With the help of Luke and Estelle, he barely sat up, wobbly and out of breath, saying, “Are you still unwilling to break up with Gretchen?” With a pained expression, Cristofer said, “Grandpa, I must marry her.” “Why must you marry her? What did she do to force you to marry her?” “It’s... complicated. Grandpa, I have no choice.”
