Chapter 784 Both Husband and Wife Living in the Wild
Stella looked at the ring and said, “Uh… isn’t it too fast for us?”
“We were never divorced anyway,” Jasper said.
Stella was speechless.
She was a little confused and she started stuttering, “We didn’t divorce, but you were already prepared to remove your memory. Wouldn’t I risk committing bigamy then? I mean, you won’t remember that we are divorced.”
“Before I remove my memory, I’ll make a phone call and annul our marriage. That way, you won’t be charged for bigamy,” Jasper explained seriously.
Stella felt that she was hilarious.
She wasn’t planning to get married again anyway, so she wouldn’t have to worry about being charged for bigamy.
She put the ring in her pocket.
Jasper frowned. “Aren’t you going to put it on?”
“You’re not wearing it either, are you?” Stella asked in return.
Jasper immediately slid the ring onto his ring finger. Stella had some thoughts and returned the ring to him.
Jasper’s heart thumped, and his gaze became dark.
“Help me put it on,” Stella said.
His gaze changed in an instant. He smiled and put the ring on for her.
Stella looked at the ring on her finger. It reflected when the sunlight shone on it.
She suddenly remembered something. “My senior said that we have two children together. Could I meet them?”
“Dante has been staying with his foster parents while Sandro is staying with Mom. I will call her and ask her to bring him over,” Jasper said.
“Dante, is he the seven-year-old child? Why is he living with his foster parents?” Stella asked in confusion.
“Dante is not seven. He is already nine. Sandro is fifteen months old. When you left, it was still winter and now summer is coming to an end,” Jasper looked at her gently and said, “He stayed with his foster parents because you thought that Dante wanted to live with them more, and you wanted everyone to live together when all of this was over.”
“Mm,” Stella replied.
Her eldest child was nine years old already. Didn’t that mean that they had been together for a long time?
They started on their meal once the steak was done.
“Are you going to the research center in the afternoon?” Stella asked.
“I have something to tell you,” Jasper looked very serious.
“What is it?”
“I’m not the security guard of the research center. I’m the person who invested in the research center,” Jasper said.
Stella was stunned and she asked, “Did you also invest in Eleven?”
“Yes,” Jasper replied.
Stella didn’t expect that. “Why… are you doing this?”
“The research that they’re doing in the research center is beneficial to the world, and experts from around the world are gathered there. As for the investment in the police station, I did it to get in touch with you,” Jasper confessed.
“You…” Stella didn’t know what to say for a while. “Are you rich?”
“Yes.”
“Since you have so much money, why didn’t you use it to build and support your country instead?” Stella asked in confusion.
“Ninety percent of the money was spent on military resources and construction. I took over the special military base in the Northern and Southern regions and calmed a civil war. Now, everything is stable and under control by Bellamy,” Jasper explained.
“What do you mean?” Stella was confused. She thought for a while and said, “You are a senior official in your country. It’s not appropriate for you to walk around in the United States like this, right?”
“I’m just operating behind the scenes, and I haven’t officially announced it yet. Accepting the military base was just to help Bellamy overcome his difficulties. In the future, I just want to be with you. If you stay in the United States, I will stay here as well. I will accompany you if you prefer to go someplace else. The rest of my life and time, they are all yours,” Jasper said in a deep voice.
Stella listened to his confession. She was very calm, up to the point that even she was surprised by her own reaction. She did not say anything else, “Let’s eat.”
She left for the clinic after that. She thought of what he said and felt that somehow, from his tone, there was a deep apology, as though he wanted to make things right with her. She felt uneasy.
She arrived at the clinic soon after and went in.
“Doctor Grace, the patient has some urgent matters to attend to in the afternoon so he can’t make it today. Would you like to move your schedule forward?” Archer asked.
“It’s alright,” Stella went to the consultation room alone, turned on the music, and lay down on the sofa. She closed her eyes, cleared her mind, and took some rest.
Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep. Her mind seemed clearer when she woke up.
She should not be afraid of the future because of what had happened in the past. She still had to move on for the future.
She gave Jasper a call, who picked up within a second.
“Are you free now?” Stella asked.
“Yes.”
“I’ve finished my work here, and it’s still early. I know a good place to fish. Shall we go together?” Stella invited.
Jasper smiled. “Sure.”
“We might be staying over there tonight so you need to bring some clothes. I want to take you to a place tomorrow,” Stella said with a smile.
“Alright.”
“See you in an hour,” Stella hung up, returned home, and packed up her luggage.
The phone rang. It was Jasper.
She answered.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“We’ll take my car. I’m already in front of your house,” Jasper said.
Stella opened the door, carried her luggage, and another big baggage.
Jasper looked at her bag in surprise. “You even brought a pot with you?”
“We will be catching fish and using a pot to cook them in the wild. It’ll be very delicious,” Stella said.
Jasper took her luggage and put it in the trunk.
“I still have a few bottles of water in the house. Give me a minute,” Stella went back to get mineral water which was 15 liters each. She brought 10 bottles.
Jasper helped put them in the car before setting off.
Stella navigated to the location. “The place is a bit far; it’ll take two hours. But when we arrive, we definitely won’t regret it.”
“Mm. I think we’ll pass by a supermarket. I’ll go buy a few more things,” Jasper said.
“Sounds good,” They headed to the supermarket.
Jasper bought a tent, a lighter, beef jerky, and dried vegetables. He also bought two bags of spaghetti, apples, lemons, and watermelon before setting off.
It was already 6. 35 p. m. when they arrived at the place that Stella mentioned, and the sky was getting darker.
“Do you want to go fishing at night?” Jasper asked.
“Let’s go now. We might catch a fish before it gets dark, then we’ll have fish to eat at night,” Stella said as she took out her fishing gear.
“Shall we build a tent here?” Jasper looked around. It was surrounded by mountains on both sides. The scenery was stunning, and it was a little chilly. However, there were quite a lot of mosquitoes. Fortunately, he had brought mosquito repellent.
“Okay, we could take a bath in the river after catching some fish. We could also use the clean water to rinse after that.”
Jasper frowned. “What if someone passes by?”
Stella smiled and said, “I brought some props, so no one will see us.”
“What kind of prop?” Jasper was surprised.
