Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“What is it?” Stella asked.

“We’re leaving tomorrow. Have you applied for permission for your men to leave the country?”

“Oh yes, I’ve already done that. I will talk to Anthony before we leave tomorrow. I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem to line up over on his men’s side,” Stella said.

“I need their photos so that the makeup artists could make the masks. Could you send me their photos?”

“Of course, I’ll do it later.”

“Also, we will leave tomorrow morning, so the person impersonating me has to be ready by that time. They will less strict as long as he is there to take my place. We will rest for a while after dinner and leave by midnight. The special makeup will take about six hours. You should get some rest during the day,” Bellamy said softly.

“You too.”

Bellamy chuckled. “We would often stay up for a few nights when we go on missions, so you need not worry about me. Alright then, I still have some work here to deal with. I will hang up first. See you tonight.”

Stella remembered Jasper once told her that he had gone on a mission and did not sleep for 15 days straight. Her heart suddenly softened. “See you tonight.”

She sent the information of the two employees whom she had applied to go to B Country over to Bellamy’s phone.

Suzi was already busy downstairs when Stella came out of the room.

She said gently when she saw her, “Stella, come and have breakfast. You’re up early today.”

“I slept early last night, Mom. I’m going fishing today,” Stella said.

“Sure, I will help you prepare the necessary then. You will need a tent, a round table, and a stove, right?” Suzi knew everything she needed.

“Actually, I’ve been thinking about this since a while back, Mom. The soldiers have been hiding outside for so long. It’s so cold out there, and it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow. I want to go somewhere else secretly and give them all a day off,” Stella discussed with Suzi.

“What? Where are you going tomorrow? Will you be safe?” Suzi asked worriedly.

“I’ll be safe. I will go through the tunnels. There are many intersections there, so no one will know where I am going. Besides, I want to give each soldier 200, 000 dollars and six days of leave.”

Suzi thought for a moment and felt that it should be safe for Stella to leave through the underground tunnels. “It must have been hard for the soldiers. I support any decisions you make, Stella. Just let me know if you need more money.”

“I have more than enough, Mom. My grandfather has given me a lot. His company has been doing quite well after completing a few successful projects. But, I won’t be able to celebrate New Years’ with you tomorrow. Mom, you will be alone,” Stella was a little worried.

“I won’t be alone. I’ll head over to the hospital and celebrate New Years’ with Lynette. She is alone, so I’ll accompany her and stay in the hospital for the night. Don’t worry about me, do what you must. I will support you no matter what,” Suzi said with a smile.

Stella still felt sorry for Suzi. After all, it would be lonely for an elderly like her to celebrate New Year alone.

Unfortunately, Stella knew that she had to help Bellamy. Everything had started because of her, so naturally, she should be the one to end it.

“Next year, we will bring Ralph and Dante over once everything is settled. The child in my belly and Jasper will be here too, and we’ll enjoy the rest of the year together,” Stella promised. Truth be told, she was anticipating the arrival of such a moment.

Suzi nodded with a smile, “Should we invite those soldiers for dinner then? We’ll just celebrate New Years’ in advance.”

“That’s a great idea,” Stella thought of the time when Jasper was still around. She had once attended a soldier’s birthday with him and it was a very fun party. She could still remember the warmth she felt at that time even to this day. “Tonight, I’ll go fishing and prepare for a feast of fishes.”

“I will buy the other ingredients then. The more the merrier. Should we invite Anthony over too?” Suzi asked.

“Sure, but it depends on whether he has time. Besides, many things did happen in our country recently.”

“Oh okay. Alright then, you should have breakfast while I set up the fishing tent for you,” Suzi said happily.

…

Stella called Anthony after breakfast, “Anthony, are you free tonight? Come over to my place for dinner.”

“Oh, I am afraid not, I’m going to have dinner with the soldiers,” Anthony said apologetically.

Stella understood. After all, the dinner was a last-minute event and many had probably made their own plans for the night.

“Okay, that’s alright then. Ah, is it convenient for us to talk right now?” Stella asked carefully.

“Yes, I am in the office inside the military base. I’m alone now, and I’ve also made this call unmonitored so it is safe to speak,” Anthony could tell that Stella had something to say.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“I will impersonate my staff tomorrow and go to B Country for a negotiation. Your men will be at the airport, right?” Stella asked carefully.

“Yes, I’ll arrange it.”

“Alright, that’s great then.”

“Mrs. Milton, thank you,” Anthony was sincere.

Stella smiled. She didn’t mind the trouble as long as she could stay with Jasper.

She hung up the phone and called Bellamy once more.

Bellamy was busy in the Department of External Affairs, so he declined the call.

He went to an empty park before calling her again, “Yes, Stella?”

“Jasper, don’t come over tonight. I am going to invite the Dark Shadow over for dinner,” Stella said.

Bellamy suddenly smiled and said, “I want to drink your signature fish soup and have some fish and chips too. Leave some for me.”

“Oh, alright then, let me know once you arrive. I’ll hang up first then,” Stella hung up the phone without waiting for Bellamy’s reply.

He still wanted to talk to her, but the line had been cut off abruptly. Even though he was swamped with work, the weight on his shoulders seemed to have disappeared after listening to her voice.

“Bellamy,” Samuel’s voice could be heard from behind.

Bellamy turned around hastily.

“Who were you talking to? Give me your phone,” Samuel ordered.

Bellamy’s eyes darkened as he handed the phone to Samuel.

Samuel checked the caller ID, and he realized that the most recent call was from Rebecca.

Bellamy had changed Stella’s contact name to Rebecca.

Even if Samuel called the number at that moment, Rebecca would be the one to answer the call.

Samuel returned the phone to him and asked indifferently, “Have you really fallen for Rebecca? Don’t forget what Tinley had given you.”

“Do you still want me to keep in touch with Rebecca then? She asked me to meet her parents after New Years’. Should I go over then?” Bellamy was irritated.

“What kind of attitude is this? You’re getting bolder and you don’t even know how to respect your elders now,” Samuel said harshly.

Bellamy pursed his lips and he narrowed his eyes at Samuel.

Samuel was worried that his words would provoke Bellamy again, so he composed himself and spoke rather respectfully, “I hope you understand that you are only using Rebecca for now. Once your position is stable, you still have to marry Tinley. Do not harbor too many feelings for Rebecca, else you’ll be the one who gets hurt in the end.”
