Chapter 670 The More Wonderful, The More Short-Lived
“It’s Samuel. I’ve had some conflicts with him recently,” Bellamy said. He did not hide anything.
“It seems that he doesn’t like me very much,” Stella said. She recalled Samuel’s reaction when she saw her.
“He opposed to me meeting you out of fear of exposing my identity and raising suspicion from others. After all, he has been quiet for so many years, and he is a very ambitious person,” Bellamy lowered his head and ate some food.
“Could you really trust him?” Stella was worried. She picked a piece of pickle onto his plate.
“He used to be my father’s good friend. I mean, my biological father. He should be reliable. But, he is too ambitious. You should eat more. You have two mouths to feed. Eat more, you are so thin,” Bellamy said with distress.
Stella nodded, and at this moment, his phone started ringing again.
“Answer it. Escaping is not the solution. You two should communicate properly. Plus, telling a little white lie could sometimes help you avoid conflict. Everyone’s goals are the same, and you will surely be forgiven,” Stella said softly.
Bellamy’s heart trembled. He looked at Stella with a burning gaze. “Could a white lie be forgiven?”
“As long as their goals are the same.”
“Okay, give me a minute,” Bellamy answered the phone.
“Where are you?” Samuel asked furiously, his breathing uneven due to his rage.
“I’m outside, eating. I’ll come back after I’m done. If you have something to say to me, then wait for me to come back first. I’ll hang up first,” Bellamy did not wait for Samuel to speak and directly hung up.
“It sounds like he’s in a bad mood,” Stella said worriedly.
“He’s never in a good mood. I think that he’s going through menopause,” Bellamy sliced the pork rib and gave Stella a piece with a smile. “Let’s not talk about him. It’s our dinner time.”
“Mm,” Stella smiled and took a big bite of the meat. “It’s delicious.”
“Have more then,” Dahlia said as she overheard Stella when she brought over the mushroom soup.
“I want more of this please,” Stella praised her.
“Alright, alright. Both of you have finished all the food in my house. I’m happy to cook more for you,” Dahlia said with a smile.”
Bellamy put a piece of fish on Stella’s plate. “I heard that eating fish makes you smarter. You should eat it for our child.”
“Ah! I’ve heard about that too,” Stella said with a smile. She took the fish on her plate and asked, “Are you sure that you’d want to come over tomorrow night?”
“Well, I miss your cooking. You make the best meals,” Bellamy said.
“I’m free tomorrow morning. I’ll go fishing, and I’ll wait for you to come back for dinner tomorrow tonight.”
“Okay,” Bellamy smiled as he looked at her.
They were enjoying each other’s company and it was a heartwarming moment. They hoped that time would pause at this very second.
However, the more wonderful the time was, the shorter it seemed.
Stella put on the mask after she was done with her meal.
Bellamy then took her hand and led her out.
All of a sudden, he stopped and a sharp light flashed across his eyes. He looked back and glanced at the black car at the side of the road, and his face darkened.
“What’s wrong?” Following his gaze, Stella seemed to have noticed the black car too, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.
Bellamy stuffed the car keys into Stella’s hand, lowered his voice, and said to her, “Get in the car first and wait for me.”
“Okay,” Seeing him like this, Stella did not dare to drag him down, hence, she got into his car immediately.
Bellamy walked up to the black car and knocked on the window.
Jackson Lowell looked at Bellamy worriedly as the window rolled down.
“I have an anti-tracking device on my mobile phone. How did you follow me here?” Bellamy glared at Jackson.
“Mr. Samuel has hired someone from the surveillance department. An hour ago, he asked me to follow you and report to him,” Jackson said reluctantly.
“So, did you report anything to him yet?” Bellamy looked at him darkly.
“Of course not. How could I possibly betray you? But he knows where you are. When you came to this university, he guessed that you were with Stella,” Jackson reminded.
“I see. Just tell him that I was having a meal with a girl.”
‘Well, that’s what I said. I only took pictures from the side. Miss Grace was wearing a mask and she looks like an ordinary student. Mr. Samuel is just being suspicious. There is no actual evidence.”
“I see. Alright, head back and report to him that I’ve discovered you tailing me. I’ll deal with the rest,” Bellamy ordered.
“Okay,” Jackson said and gave Samuel a call.
Bellamy returned to the car.
“Were we being followed?” Stella asked.
“Samuel has asked someone from the Traffic Management Department for help. They should be keeping an eye on my car now. I can’t send you back, but I will send you to the mall. If you change your clothes inside, they won’t be able to follow you,” Bellamy proposed.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine on my own.”
“No. What if they follow you after that? What if they catch you before you even changed your clothes? Call Elvis, and let him protect you,” Bellamy instructed.
Stella nodded.
“Call Elvis now, and ask him to pick you up from Suntec International Inc. I’ll drive over there now,” Bellamy fixed his eyes on Stella.
Stella knew that he was concerned about her and did not want anything to happen to her. She had no choice but to obey his words.
She then called Elvis in front of him.
“Mrs. Milton, have you seen the news online? Christian and Zoah are on bad terms now, both of them are posting videos to attack each other. Your plan was very effective,” Elvis said happily, leaving comments on the web page in secret delight.
Stella was relatively calm.
She knew that Christian was going to die the next day, and now he was just seeking death now.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Well, I’ll be arriving at Suntec International Inc in half an hour. Could you pick me up?” Stella said.
“Ah, when did you go there? Why didn’t the Dark Shadow report it to me?” Elvis was worried.
“I came out from the secret passage,” Stella explained.
Bellamy looked at Stella with a deep look. She had told Elvis about the existence of the secret passage.
However, he did not say anything. He respected her decision and believed in her judgment. He continued to drive.
“When you go back, you will definitely be questioned by Samuel, right?” Stella asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, he’s not qualified to do that yet. At most, he will just be nagging in my ears,” He held her hand and smiled at Stella. “Don’t worry about me. Have you seen Frederick?”
He chose to only ask this question now. After all, the atmosphere at the restaurant was so lovely that he was unwilling to ruin it.
“I met him just now, but I didn’t tell him anything about the biological weapon.”
“Why didn’t I hear about the biochemical weapon from you before?” Bellamy was curious, and he thought that he had investigated her and Jasper’s past thoroughly.
“It was a coincidence. A Special Forces soldier came to me and said that he had the antidote to the biochemical weapon. He had something important to do, so he passed it all to me,” Stella said as she took a deep breath.
