contacting Calista, loving her wholeheartedly.
Looking into his eyes filled with deep love, Estelle had a moment of confusion as she saw her own reflection.
It was as if in an instant they had gone back to a long time ago, without Calista, only their most loving moments.
Unfortunately, this beautiful dream only lasted a few days before he shattered it with his own hands.
How could Estelle swallow this pride?
Seeing his beloved woman with tears in her eyes, Eric quickly suppressed his anger, stood up, and went over to hold her in his arms, gently comforting her.
“I wasn’t just looking after her, I was only concerned about the baby in her belly. Besides, the doctor also said that her health is not good, and in case of any accident, the baby could be at risk of miscarriage. And isn’t my concern for her baby also for you? As long as this baby can be born, we can get married.”
“How come you didn’t want to marry me sooner?”
How could Estelle not want it, she dreamed of it.
Her hand by her side gradually clenched, but….
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but Eric’s words of comfort today seemed a bit perfunctory.
It seems like this excuse has been used many times before.
Eric did not notice anything unusual about the woman in his arms, or perhaps he simply did not have his heart fully focused on Estelle at that
moment.
He casually said a few comforting words, tucked the person into bed and waited for them to fall asleep. Then, using the excuse of having urgent matters to attend to at his company, he quickly left the room with his phone in hand.
But he did not notice that Estelle in the bed suddenly opened her eyes after he left.
Those once bright eyes are now filled with dimness and disappointment.
There was a moment when she really wanted to grab Eric’s hand and ask him if he still loved her.
She could have said it, but suddenly she didn’t dare to speak out.
She was afraid, afraid that he would remain silent, or that the answer he gave would not be the one she wanted.
BC 911
Chapter 12
That night, not only did Estelle not sleep well, but Eric also lost sleep.
He was already feeling a bit panicked because he hadn’t heard from Calista all day.
At first, he was still making excuses for himself, claiming that he was only worried about the baby in Calista’s belly.
After all, that child was too important for him and Estelle, he didn’t want anything unexpected to happen to the child.
But now he was completely panicked, even on the verge of madness.
Because he couldn’t reach Calista, Eric quickly called the person who was looking after her to ask about the situation.
The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time before finally saying, “Calista is missing.
In an instant, Eric felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as he struggled to suppress the anger and other strange emotions in his heart.
“When did it happen?”
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before cautiously speaking, “It was on the day you left with Ms. Denshaw.”
The maid meant that shortly after Eric took Estelle away, Calista used stomach pain as an excuse to have them take her to the hospital.
While waiting for the prenatal examination, Calista suddenly felt a craving for osmanthus cake from the north of the city, so she persuaded
them to go and buy it.
When they came back again, Calista had disappeared from the hospital, and all the surveillance cameras did not capture her whereabouts
Upon hearing this, Eric’s face completely darkened, and his deep, ink–like eyes stirred up a
up a storm.
“Why didn’t you call me as soon as she left?”
The servant’s voice on the other end of the phone grew quieter: “You said before you left that no matter what happened, I couldn’t call you…”
Eric couldn’t listen anymore. He hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and dialed another number.
“Come to the island immediately now!”
Upon hearing the news that Eric was leaving, Estelle’s heart suddenly tightened.
Although Eric’s lie was so perfect, saying it was a company matter, she still saw through it at a glance.
In Estelle’s memory, Eric never bothered to lie.
But now he kept lying to her again and again for Calista!
A destructive rage, like a long–dormant volcano suddenly erupting, instantly overwhelmed all of Estelle’s rational defenses!
“You were going to see that bitch Calista, weren’t you? You were going to leave me for her again!”
Estelle grabbed Eric’s hand and screamed at the top of her lungs, disregarding everything else.
“Weren’t you saying you didn’t love her, that you didn’t care about her or what she did? What do you mean now? Why are you going to see her? Don’t tell me you’ve really fallen in love with her!”
Estelle gasped urgently, her chest heaving violently, her eyes a deep red with extreme anger and pain!
The appearance that used to make Eric surrender now burns the anger in his heart like dynamite!
He lost his patience in front of Estelle for the first time. He roughly pulled her hand away, and those eyes that were once full of love were now filled with disappointment and even a hint of impatience.
“Enough, what are you making a fuss about? I have said that I do not love her, I only care about the child in her belly and wanted to go find her. That is the only guarantee for us to get married smoothly. Why do you have to be so aggressive?”
“I was making a scene, and you actually said I was making a scene!”
Estelle was like a madwoman gone berserk, suddenly pouncing on him and scratching and clawing, her screams getting louder and louder with each one.
“Eric, I sacrificed so much for you, endured so much injustice, and in the end, you still dare to despise me!”
Eric couldn’t help but push her away again. In an instant, Estelle lost her balance and fell on the beach. Her carefully maintained black long hair was covered in sand, and she looked completely disheveled.
After falling to the ground, she stayed stunned for a while before lifting her head and looking at the man in front of her in disbelief. “Did you push me?”
