Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“What’s the matter?” Jasper sensed her strange behavior. “Do you not want to?”

“To be honest, I’m feeling very hesitant about it. I really want to meet them, but I’m also scared of the outcome,” Stella said frankly.

“You’ll have to meet them eventually,” Jasper said.

She could tell that he wanted her to meet them.

Since he looked so calm, did it mean that they had a good relationship in the past too?

Stella smiled and repeated what he said, “Yes, we’ll have to meet eventually.”

“What are you going to do with those fishes over there?” Jasper changed the topic.

Stella looked at the marinated fish. “I’m going to grill it on an iron plate. I’ve marinated all of them. It should be very tender. Give me a minute.”

She went to her bag and found a round iron plate.

“This could be used as a hot iron plate. I tried to cook with it when I was at home alone and it was not bad. Put this on the stone first and it will be hot in a while,” Stella explained. She washed the iron plate and placed it on the stone.

She washed the marinated fish, brushed a little oil on the iron plate, and put the fish slices on it.

The fillet turned white after a while and she added some seasoning to it. She picked up a slice of it and put it in Jasper’s bowl. “Have a try?”

“It looks like grilling fish on a foil; not bad,” Jasper took a bite and nodded. “It tastes good.”

Stella smiled and said, “I like to eat fish. When I was at home, I would usually cook fish like this, and I could eat a carp all by myself.”

“Sandro also likes to eat fish, just like you.”

“I’ll have to get rid of the bones then. By the way, there’s a fish called Halibut. It tastes fresh and is nutritious. It is very delicious to cook in soup or with tofu,” Stella suggested.

Jasper smiled. “Sandro likes this fish the most too. He could eat three on his own.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“I see” Stella responded. She didn’t know why, but her heart was filled with warmth when Jasper said those words.

She continued cooking the fish.

Jasper looked into the pot. “The chicken soup should be ready. If we continue boiling it, there will be no soup left.”

“Okay, I’ll do it,” Stella said.

“Let me do it. Be careful; it’s hot,” Jasper took her bowl, filled it, and handed it to her.

Stella saw a car driving over. “Someone is coming.”

Jasper looked over and saw quite a few cars coming. There were three of them. “Do a lot of people come here often?”

“Yes. I think so. I was with my friends the last time I came here,” Stella said.

The car stopped, and an American man with blonde hair got out of the car. He greeted Stella, “Stella, you’re here. What a coincidence.”

“Ah, Benedict, have you had dinner yet?” Stella asked.

Benedict shook his head. “We’ve been driving for two hours, so we haven’t eaten yet. But we brought a lot of barbecue ingredients, so there’s no issue.”

Benedict’s gaze landed on Jasper’s face. “Boyfriend?”

“Yes, that’s right,” Stella admitted it.

“We’ll get back to work first and talk later,” Benedict said. He then led the other seven people to set up tents on the other side and start some fire.

“He was my classmate. Originally, he studied psychology. After his studies, he went home and started a company. He dabbles in the red wine industry and it’s doing great,” Stella said to Jasper.

“Mm,” Jasper replied.

He looked at Stella deeply. In fact, he didn’t like other people coming over and ruining their personal time together. “Next time, we have to find a better spot.”

Stella nodded and ate the chicken in her bowl.

Benedict walked over and said to Stella and Jasper, “They asked me to invite you guys over.”

Stella thought of the last time when she came with Benedict and his friends. Although the people this time were different, they were also Benedict’s friends. “Sure, I have a lot of grilled fish here. They could have some too.”

Stella handed 16 skewers of grilled fish over. Benedict accepted and distributed them to his friends.

Benedict came over again and looked at Stella’s pot. “You even brought a pot with you. It smells so good. Is it chicken? You even brought chicken here.”

Jasper caught the hint in Benedict’s words and said, “Do you have bowls? Come and get a bowl of this. But there’s eight of you and it might not be enough. This chicken is not very big.”

“It should be enough. I have disposable bowls. I’ll let them eat something to ease their hunger, and then we’ll start the barbecue later. Let’s eat together,” Benedict said, waving his hand to his friends.

There was not much left in the pot after they all filled up a bowl.

Jasper looked at Stella. “Did you have enough?”

“It’s alright. We’ll be having barbecue later. What about you? Are you full?” Stella asked.

“I have eaten a lot of fish. Besides, there are still some fish slices,” As Jasper finished speaking, Benedict appeared behind them again. “Could we have a taste of that fish slice of yours? It smells so good.”

“Oh,” Stella responded casually. Benedict’s friends lined up once again, but there were not many slices left. They only had a few for themselves.

Jasper and Stella had no food again.

Stella looked at the grilled fish. Fortunately, there were still a couple left.

Benedict’s friends didn’t ask this time and directly took all of them away.

Stella was speechless.

Jasper looked at Stella and said, “I’m going to clean and pack up, then I’ll take you somewhere.”

“Okay, let me clean up. I’m good at this,” said Stella. She took the pot and went to the lake to wash it.

Jasper did not stop her and he went over to dismantle the tent.

“Are you leaving now?” Benedict asked.

Jasper nodded. “We have to go somewhere else tonight.”

“In that case, could you leave this for us? It’s not convenient for us since we have guys and girls. It’ll be so much more convenient if we have this cover,” Benedict said.

“Sorry, but I’m afraid it’s not going to be convenient for us as we’ll need it when we go somewhere else next time,” Jasper directly refused.

“Oh,” Benedict looked visibly upset.

He watched as Stella washed the bowls and pot and said, “Stella, could you lend us this pot?”

“Uhm, we still need them tomorrow,” Jasper refused for Stella.

Benedict was speechless.

“What about the fishing tools? You won’t be fishing tomorrow, will you?” Benedict asked.

“We are fishing tomorrow, I’m sorry,” Jasper refused.

“You don’t want the fish anymore, right? I think that there’s a large carp in the water tank,” Benedict asked.

“Well, I could give that to you. Take it,” Jasper said. Then, Benedict grabbed the fish in the water tank and walked toward his friends.

Jasper tidied their things up with Stella’s help. Finally, when Jasper went to dismantle the trap in the lake, he found a surprise in it. “Stella, take the water tank.”

Stella immediately took the water tank over.
