Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Jasper set up the tent under the shade of a tree and used stones to set up a stove.

Stella went over to help. “The only thing that is missing from this beautiful scene is a lake.”

Jasper smiled slightly. “Have you seen the beach over there? We could climb down the mountains if we have time. It will take us about two hours to reach. However, we have to leave in the evening. We could always go there again when we come for a vacation the next time.”

“Ah, it’s so beautiful here. It’s a blessing to relax in this peaceful environment.”

“Get some rest. I’ll prepare breakfast and call you when it’s ready,” Jasper said.

“I’m good at cooking. Do you still have some noodles left?”

“There’s still some left. Let’s just have some plain breakfast and have a wonderful lunch later. We could head back after resting for a while.”

“Alright then,” Stella then left Jasper to prepare breakfast.

She went to look for some wood and branches, sharpened their tips, and washed them with water.

When the sun rose, she put down her stuff and walked to the side.

The sky was red at first. A white light could be seen clearly as the sunlight shone through the clouds, and it seemed very close to them.

All of a sudden, it looked as though the sun had jumped out of the clouds.

A rainbow appeared above the forest, and the fog began to rise.

“Nature is so magical,” Stella sighed.

Jasper looked at her and held her hand. “From now on, we will be together every day, watching the sunrise, making breakfast, eating lunch and dinner, going for a walk, sleeping, and slowly growing old together.”

It sounded very simple, but those words made her feel very warm and happy.

Stella looked at Jasper as she watched the sunrise.

He looked at her as well and smiled slightly.

“I want to have fish soup for lunch, then I’ll put the chickens on skewers and roast them.”

“I think that the grilled fish slices on the iron plate yesterday were delicious. Could you make those again?” Jasper asked.

“Of course.”

They brought a lot of water, so they were very well-prepared for the meal.

After the meal.

Stella and Jasper were resting in the tent.

“Jasper, there’s something that still concerns me,” Stella said softly.

“What is it?” Jasper turned over and looked at her.

“I want to meet Eli, but I’m afraid to. It feels like I owe her something, but I couldn’t seem to remember. Do you know what it is that I owed her?” Stella asked softly.

Jasper nodded.

“What is it?” Stella asked.

“Eli and Sean are a couple. Do you still remember this?” Jasper asked.

Stella shook her head. It seemed that she had forgotten about 80 percent of the past. “Wasn’t Eli the one who doesn’t like Sean?”

“She grew to like him after. You helped Sean deal with Christian and Quinn. Sean could have stayed as the President, but all his hard work was wasted because of Eli. Bellamy then became the President. You asked him to promise that he would let Sean go a year after he became the President so that Sean could reunite with Eli,” Jasper explained.

“Has Sean been released yet then?” Stella asked curiously.

“No.”

“Is it because it’s still less than a year?”

Jasper was silent and did not speak.

Stella looked at Jasper. “It’s been more than a year, but for some reason, he hasn’t been released yet. If he hasn’t been released although it’s been a year, then it is highly unlikely that Bellamy would let him out.”

“Bellamy was worried that Sean would cause chaos once he was released. And adding to the fact that you aren’t around, so…”

Stella closed her eyes.

In fact, she understood that in politics, things were cruel.

There was an idiom that urged one ‘to bite the bullet’. When the enemy took over the territory and conquered the place, the hostages had no choice but to suffer and live on. Even so, they didn’t give up and continued to serve the enemy. They told themselves to bear with the hardship and never forget the life that they suffered.

They served the enemy and kept a low profile without any resistance. After the enemy released them, they destroyed the enemy in the end.

Therefore, Bellamy would not let him go because he was afraid of what might happen.

He was afraid and terrified as the future was always uncertain.

“Jasper, let’s head back,” Stella said.

“Now? It’s still early. You could still sleep for a while. We’ll leave after you wake up,” Jasper said.

Stella sat up and looked at Jasper. “I didn’t mean going back to our place. I meant, going back to A Country.”

Jasper looked at her deeply and slowly sat up. “Have you made up your mind?”

Stella nodded. “You will do your best to improve the military force. Even if Sean is released, with you around, the current president will still be able to sit firmly on his throne.”

“But you hated being involved in politics so much,” Jasper reminded her.

“People will change according to the environment, attitude, situation, and status. The person I am now couldn’t understand why I rejected politics so much in the past. However, if Eli likes Sean, I was probably close with him too. I want to save him.”

“You’ve always wanted to save Sean.”

Stella held Jasper’s hand. “You are a soldier, and you have your duties. You protected the country and you are a soldier deep within. However, you gave up what you like because of certain things.”

“Because you’re the love of my life,” Jasper said in a low voice as he looked at her passionately.

She believed him as his eyes were sincere, deep, and calm, with a hint of sadness and caution.

She must have hurt him a lot in the past.

“I have a child back in A Country. I don’t know why I had given up everything and left at that time, but now, I can’t let go of my child. So, I want to go back to A Country,” Stella said.

“When do you want to go back?”

“I have to finish off the cases that I have at the moment, otherwise, it’s not appropriate for them to follow me to A Country. My senior will be coming back to the United States after some time and he will help me take care of the center. Could you help me deal with the contract at Vann’s?” Stella asked.

“It’s fine as long as I don’t cancel the investment. Vann will still respect me,” Jasper said firmly.

“Alright, it shouldn’t be a problem then,” Stella lay down on the floor.

Jasper lay down beside her and used his arm as a pillow for her.

Stella turned over, put her hand on his waist, and closed her eyes.

People were indeed very strange. When she had no concerns in her heart, her emotions were calm and her life was peaceful and carefree.

The only thing she could do was to look at the fallen leaves with a smile.

She let herself be empty-minded and think about nothing, to live a simple life and avoid loneliness, to let herself be strong enough to not need anyone’s company.

However, there was a place in her heart that was empty. This emptiness would somehow make her feel depressed.

When she had Jasper, she knew that there would be a lot of trouble in the future and she would be tired, but she still wanted to give it a try.

There was no afterlife, and she didn’t want to have any regrets in the present life.

She just hoped that there wasn’t anything that she could not bear from the past…
