Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“I won’t give her up. Allen, you should give up,” Jasper said in a low voice.

Allen chucked, “At that time, she told me that she loved you and that I shouldn’t hope for anything as she didn’t want to hurt me anymore. Since you two were together, I sincerely hoped that she could be happy, so I chose to let go of her and become her best friend again. However, right now, she doesn’t love you anymore. She’s afraid of her soft-hearted nature, so she hypnotized herself. I don’t think that you could compete with me right now. I don’t care about her past. I only care if she’s willing to be with me.”

“I left because I had no choice.”

“But you forgot that a husband and wife should support each other and be honest with each other. You left her thinking that it was good for the both of you, but it was not what she wanted. It’s not up to you whether I give up or not, it’s up to her. What I could give her are comfort and peace. It’s not exciting, but at least I could be there for her forever.”

Jasper frowned, “Your asthma is very serious, how will you stay with her forever?”

“I will be extra careful if I’m with her. I won’t let anything happen to me. Let’s play fair. If she falls in love with you again, I won’t say anything. If not, I want to give her a happy life.”

Jasper looked at Stella, who was in the kitchen, and his gaze became darker.

Stella was busy in the kitchen, and she did not notice the storm brewing outside.

She came out of the kitchen with a bucket, and said to Jasper, “Black, my friend has asthma, so I need you to help me catch two carps from the pool in the backyard. I’ll cook them for you two.”

“Okay,” Jasper took the bucket from Stella’s hand and went to the backyard. After getting the two carps from the pool, he saw Allen chatting with Stella happily.

“The climate here is oceanic, and it can be rainy from time to time, but it’s alright once you get used to it. You could always carry an umbrella in your bag. If the weather on Sunday is good, let’s go fishing together.”

“Are we going to fish in the sea? It would be my first time,” Allen was deep in contemplation.

“The fish here are quite easy to catch. They label all the various types of fishes here as carps. Since there are no natural predators for them here, they multiply quickly and many lakes have them. If you greet the guards, they will open the lake for us to fish, but you have to tell them that you will be fishing, else you will get into trouble,” Stella said.

“Are carps saltwater fish?” Allen was a little stunned.

“They’re freshwater fish. Sorry, I got mixed up. Saltwater fish are easy to catch too. Once they are caught, we could immediately make sashimi out of it, or we could roast or fry them too. I feel like going there now after talking about it,” Stella said with a smile.

Allen smiled too, “Yes, I can’t wait to go there too. Are you free later in the evening? Why don’t we go later?”

“I happen to have a cruise ship. We could take our ship out,” Jasper interjected.

“Okay, it’s better to choose a date for it. Let’s go there some time,” Stella said happily. She liked fishing a lot.

The corner of Allen’s mouth twitched and he asked, “Do you need my help?”

“No, I like cooking. So, don’t come and steal my happy time away,” Stella took out the fish in the bucket and dealt with them promptly.

Allen and Jasper looked at each other and went out of the kitchen.

Allen said with a smile, “Fortunately, I live here.”

Jasper’s face darkened a little. He took out the documents he brought and said thoughtfully, “It’s only temporary.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

He looked carefully at the contents of the documents and read them several times.

“Wow, it’s similar to a sea burial,” Allen suddenly said.

“Sea burial? Normally they would disperse the deceased’s ashes into the sea, not throw the corpse directly into the sea,” Jasper said.

“Don’t you think that it’s strange?” Allen looked at the diagram and continued, “This cage is sealed without a lock, so how did they put the people in?” Allen asked.

An idea flashed through Jasper’s mind. He looked at the six iron cages carefully. It was true. They were not locked and they were sealed off on all sides.

“There are three people in each cage. If they were only put inside after they were dead, then they won’t be able to struggle. If they were put inside when they were still alive, then that means that they’re absolutely outclassed. There must be many murderers,” Jasper said.

Allen shrugged. “You are a general, a leader. Why did you involve yourself with such a trivial case? Your home country is in turmoil right now. The President is your brother, isn’t he? I heard that he will marry a woman of M Country’s McCarthy family by the end of this year.”

“That’s none of your business,” Jasper didn’t want to go along with him anymore.

Allen propped his head up and looked at Jasper, “If it weren’t for Stella, I wouldn’t have bothered about the affairs of your country. Why did you leave all of a sudden and become a low-ranked police officer again?”

Jasper put the documents away. His eyes swept over Allen. “I’ve already said that this is none of your business.”

“You’re very cool and cold, but you won’t get women to like you,” Allen analyzed.

Jasper stood up, walked out of the door, and smoked a cigarette. He was very annoyed.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked towards him with a pot in her hand.

“Hello, are you Stella’s boyfriend?” Madam Haydey asked.

“Oh… I’m her colleague,” Jasper explained.

“Oh. This is Stella’s pot. Her cooking is very delicious. If anyone marries her, he will definitely be happy. Please give this to her and thank her for me,” Haydey said.

Jasper took the pot that Haydey handed over to him.

He then turned around and went to the kitchen.

Stella was still busy cooking, taking care of the dishes in an orderly manner. It was exactly the same as what he remembered.

She would always taste-test her dishes before serving them so that they wouldn’t be too salty or too bland. She was a responsible and meticulous person.

Stella noticed that Jasper was standing behind her and looked at him, “Yes?”

Jasper glanced at the pot in his hand uneasily and handed it to Stella, “Uh, a middle-aged woman sent this to you. She told me to thank you and tell you that your cooking is very delicious.”

Stella smiled happily and continued, “Fortunately, I’m at home right now. Otherwise, she would’ve come for nothing. Give me another twenty minutes. We’ll be able to eat by then.”

“I’ll serve the dishes that you’ve done first. It’s summer anyway, so it won’t get cold that quickly,” Jasper said.

“Alright, thank you. Black, you may serve the dishes that are on the chopping board,” Stella said as she continued to cook.

Jasper went out with the food.

Allen immediately went into the kitchen to help when he saw Jasper coming out with the dishes.

All of a sudden, Stella’s cell phone rang.

She had a bad feeling when she saw that it was from Vann, but she still answered the phone.

“Stella, it’s as you said. There are new bodies in the same place. This time, the bodies are newer. They are just bloated and their appearances are still recognizable.”
