Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella too felt much better.

She and Allen were better suited to be friends.

They would be friends for a lifetime without any restraints while protecting each other.

She couldn’t agree to be with him, and she felt bad to ask him to stay. Paris would be a better place for him to grow.

“You should take a rest first. I’ll go out and buy some flowers,” Stella said.

Allen smiled and said, “Since it’s our last meal together, I want to eat the food you cook.”

“How could it be our last meal? You could stop by anytime and I will welcome you with open arms. I will welcome you even if you bring your wife and kids to visit me. You know that you are more than just a friend to me,” Stella said very seriously.

Allen smiled. “Well, I’ll try my best to bring my beloved daughter here by next year. Then, I’ll learn to cook from you so that I could cook for my wife in the future.”

“Alright, I’ll go out to buy some groceries now,” Stella took the car keys and went out. When she was waiting for the traffic light to turn green, she heard the sound of people shouting coming from outside, so she looked out of the window.

A girl was standing on a roof with her head hung low. Stella could only see her long hair covering her face. The girl looked at the time on her watch, then jumped down without waiting for the paramedics to arrive.

The building was seventeen floors high, and she would surely die after jumping from that height. However, the girl did not hesitate in the slightest. She only stood there for a minute or so. Even if someone had called the police, they would not be able to come over in time.

Therefore, it was obvious that she had already made up her mind to die when she went up there.

The car behind Stella started honking.

Seeing that the traffic light had turned green, Stella started to drive again. After all, there was nothing she could do about the fact that the girl was dead, and she didn’t like to be an onlooker either.

After a while, she arrived at the vegetable market. Perhaps she arrived too early, as there were not many farmers selling vegetables there.

She simply went to the farm to buy a turkey and asked the owner to clean it for her.

The farm owner planted a lot of vegetables, so he let her pick some by herself.

She picked a large bag of tomatoes. She liked the taste of freshly-picked tomatoes as they were sweet and juicy.

She also picked a big winter melon, some cucumbers, mushrooms, and green vegetables.

She then hurried back. It was only 4 p. m. when she reached home, so she still had a lot of time to cook.

Allen helped her wash the vegetables, and she went to the yard to catch a fish.

Time passed by peacefully. Cooking a proper meal was also an activity that brought her happiness, as she could witness the process of turning raw and cold ingredients into steaming and delicious food.

By the time everything was done, it was already 6 p. m.

Stella opened a bottle of red wine and poured some for Allen.

He swirled his glass of red wine and asked, “Are you going to look for Jasper?”

Stella shook her head. “You know me, I’m very passive.”

Allen smiled and said, “You’re not passive, you’re just stubborn.”

Stella let out a bitter laugh and took a deep breath. She looked at the maroon drink and said, “Actually, I believe in fate. If we’re fated to be together, then we’ll meet again eventually. Although I don’t know why Jasper and I separated, or why I hypnotized myself, I vaguely feel that it was our fate.”

“If you look for him this time, perhaps you two might really end up staying together for life,” Allen said.

“I’m afraid,” Stella said. In front of Allen, there was no need to hold back or be hypocritical. She continued, “You know, it’s a difficult task to hypnotize a person’s subconscious to make that person forget about someone, but it’s even harder to self-hypnotize because that person’s consciousness will tell them that they are being hypnotized at that moment. Even though it was such a difficult task, I was still able to forget about him. I could only imagine how hurt I was before I hypnotized myself.”

Allen advised, “Stella, people have to move forward instead of looking back at the past. If you’ve forgotten about him, then so be it. You could still fall in love with him again and forget everything about the past. You don’t need to try to remember it again.”

“I’m afraid that I’ll remember everything one day and suffer. Also, my heart will always start to ache whenever I think of him now,” Stella said.

“It hurts because you still love and care about him. If it doesn’t hurt, that only means that you don’t care. Since it is so, and you don’t know what will happen in the future, why don’t you just try? At most, you’ll just regain your memories, it’s not that big of a deal,” Allen chuckled. “That’s what I was thinking when I confessed to you.”

Stella fell silent and did not speak.

Allen laughed again. His smile remained as he said, “Even though my confession is not reciprocated, we are still good friends, aren’t we? Not only did I not lose anything, but I no longer have any other thoughts too. I think that it’s a good thing.”

“Okay,” Stella picked up the glass of wine and drank a mouthful of it, saying, “I still need to think about it.”

Allen did not say anything else. “The turkey you cooked is delicious, but I actually prefer chicken.”

“The people here like to eat turkey. I’ll cook chicken for you the next time you come. It should suit your taste more,” Stella said with a smile.

“Alright.” Allen nodded.

Stella was a little tipsy after the meal, so she went back to her room to sleep first.

Allen looked at Stella’s lonely back, and a smile appeared on his face.

He truly wanted to see her happy. He wanted even more for someone to take care of her, even if that person was not him.

At that moment, it was impossible for that person to be him.

He took out his phone and called Jasper.

“Hello, who’s there?” Jasper’s cold and emotionless voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Hello, it’s Allen,” Allen said with a smile.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Jasper went silent for a moment before saying, “Take good care of her.”

“I’m afraid that I can’t do that. We broke up just a few hours ago. I think that this was my shortest relationship ever. It only lasted for a day, and I didn’t even get to kiss her.”

“Why?” Jasper was confused. At the same time, he started to worry. “If you’re planning to let her down, then you shouldn’t have started that relationship to begin with.”

“I asked her to have sex with me, but she refused. She couldn’t accept any other man in her heart. You’re the only exception,” Allen said with a smile. He was a little sad, but there was nothing to be ashamed of if the person he lost to was Jasper.

Jasper didn’t say anything.

“You know Stella better than I do. She’s a passive person who’s sensitive and doesn’t want to hurt others. Even if a slight opportunity arises, she won’t take action, and she will only force herself to give up. However, she truly loves you. I’m leaving tomorrow, could you take good care of Stella?” Allen asked.

Jasper remained silent.

“D*mn, how could I let go of Stella when you talk less than her?” Allen said helplessly.

“Allen, thank you,” Jasper said in a low voice.

Allen said with a smile, “You don’t need to thank me. Stella told me that she believes in fate, and I believe that both of you are fated to be together. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have appeared when I was about to be with her. This may have been God’s arrangement. I just hope that you won’t hurt her again.”

“What time is your flight tomorrow? I’ll send you off,” Jasper said.

“I haven’t booked it yet. B*stard, you just can’t wait to send me away, huh? You make me feel like leaving tomorrow night instead so that I could have one last struggle,” Allen said jokingly.
