Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Sixty-five soldiers stood before them in five rows. There were twelve soldiers in each row and four captains who stood next to their team.

Elvis first saluted to Stella and reported respectfully, “Good evening, Mrs. Milton! There are 68 members of the Dark Shadow here, of which three are still on duty. Awaiting your instructions, Mrs. Milton!”

Stella looked at their faces, and her eyes turned red. It would be great if Jasper was here right now. Then, she would not have any more regrets.

She missed Jasper so much.

“Have a seat and break a leg. Thank you all for protecting me all this while, I appreciate your hard work,” Stella was touched as she said it.

They said in unison, “It’s not hard work, it is our job.”

Stella smiled and said softly, “Let’s sit.”

Elvis shouted, “Sit.”

The leader of the first row shouted and sat on the first table with his twelve men. Every one of them straightened their chests and placed their hands on their knees.

After that, the leader in the second row commanded his men to take their seats, and the soldiers were well-trained and sat down in an orderly manner.

Stella wanted to tell them that there was no need for formalities, that they could relax and make themselves at home.

However, after thinking for a while, she remembered that these people were all soldiers. They had aspirations, morals, and dreams. They were the elites among the elites, so they were always in the state of being a soldier. These were the requirements they had set for themselves.

Suzi was still busy making the final preparations when the soldiers were all seated. Stella looked at the group of people and wanted to say a few words.

They were so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard. Therefore, she did not need to talk with a microphone, nor did she have to yell to be heard.

“First of all, all of you have worked really hard. You have been protecting me for more than a month, and all of you perform your duties seriously every day, even under such cold weather. You all must have not slept well nor eaten well.

I have seen some soldiers with cracked lips, and many soldiers whose skin is dry. There are even some soldiers with frostbite on their faces.

Really, thank you all very much,” Stella bowed sincerely for an entire minute.

Elvis took the lead to applaud, and a thunderous sound followed from the soldiers. They said in unison spontaneously, “It is not hard work. Protecting you and protecting the country is what we must do. We vow to complete our duties to the death, Mrs. Milton!”

Stella was even more moved. She looked at them with reddened eyes. “You are all elites among the elites. I feel proud to have all of you. From tomorrow onwards, all of you may go home to celebrate New Years’ with your loved ones. If any one of you wishes to quit next year, it is fine by me. I will try my best to arrange a job for you.”

“We pledge our lives to complete the duty of protecting you and the country, Mrs. Milton!” the soldiers said in unison.

“Thank you, thank you all,” Stella choked while sobbing. She did not want to cry, but tears were streaming down her face.

Their duty was to protect her, and Jasper had issued this task to them before he met with an accident.

She missed Jasper very much. She was grateful for all of them, for they have protected her for a long time.

She was too emotional. She turned around and turned her back to the soldiers.

Elvis handed her a napkin and said, “We are all willing to stay by your side. We have seen everything that you have done, such as fighting corruption and evil. To be able to protect you is one of their dreams too, Mrs. Milton.”

Elvis was really good at persuading.

Stella felt guilty at first, but after hearing what he said, she was comforted and she felt that she should not be swayed by emotions at this moment.

Her tears and excitement would dampen the originally wonderful atmosphere.

She composed herself and turned around to face the soldiers. She smiled and said, “Let’s eat. Most of these are made by my mother, I didn’t do much. I hope that you all will enjoy the meal.”

After Stella finished speaking, she looked at the soldiers who were still sitting there, trembling. They did not move at all and they all looked at Elvis.

Elvis too sensed the tension in the atmosphere, so he ordered, “At ease. Now is the time to rest, so you are allowed to take a break for now. Mrs. Milton has prepared some wine. Team 5, you have to be on duty tonight, so you can’t drink, others may drink a little. After all, you have to go home tomorrow.”

“Sir, we have not bought train tickets yet. Will we still be able to buy one now?” A soldier asked.

“I have prepared seven planes, and I will send all of you home tomorrow,” Elvis said firmly.

“If we leave, who would protect Mrs. Milton then?” A soldier asked worriedly.

Stella was touched by their words.

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Milton will be fine, for evil will not prevail. Everything has already been arranged. Eat up! There is a lot of food that had been prepared. Let’s eat more so that Mrs. Milton could see us getting chubbier,” Elvis said with a smile, and the atmosphere gradually brightened up.

“Thank you, Mrs. Milton. Actually, it is our honor to stay by your side,” A soldier said.

“Captains, come with me to the kitchen to serve the food,” Elvis ordered.

A soldier said, “That’s right, Mrs. Milton, you have no idea how jealous the Dark Shadow in the military feels right now.”

“Them? Why?” Stella was puzzled. She thought that the soldiers who were assigned to protect her had worked hard enough.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“We are divided into five teams. Two teams are on duty for one day, which means that we have a day’s rest in between work. This is something that has never happened in the military base back then,” The soldier replied.

Elvis soon came out with the dishes and said, “Didn’t I arrange for you to do your morning exercise for four hours? Have you guys been slacking off?”

“Of course not, we’ve only been training for four hours in the morning, but we could still rest for a long time,” A soldier said with satisfaction.

“Do your job well, and Mrs. Milton will not treat us badly. There is one thing that I haven’t told you. Mrs. Milton has also already transferred 200, 000 dollars through Switchland Bank to each of us for New Years’. You should be able to receive it tomorrow. Give me a call if you did not receive it by the end of tomorrow,” Elvis said.

“Wow,” Everyone got excited, and some people started chanting spontaneously, “Long live Mrs. Milton, long live Mrs. Milton.”

A young soldier then said, “I was just thinking that it was a good thing that I’m not home to celebrate New Years’. I wouldn’t know how to explain to my family that I didn’t bring any money home. Luckily, I have 200, 000 dollars now. I could build a house and a farm immediately!”

“How could you not have any money? Chief Milton has given us plenty of money before too,” Elvis raised his brows.

The honest-looking soldier scratched his head and replied, “I’ve sent everything back home. I eat and live in this place, so I did not keep any money with me.”

“This time, you could ‘play’ with your wife for a few more rounds when you go back to celebrate New Year. Who knows, when you return home the next time, she will have given birth to a big, fat baby boy for you,” A soldier teased.

Stella smiled slightly. Perhaps it was because she was getting older that she was used to listening to their jokes. If Jasper were here, what would he say?
