Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

They departed at 3 p. m. It was already 7. 30 p. m. by the time they arrived home.

Stella began to cook and clean up the house once they returned home.

Jasper, on the other hand, went back to check on Gracie and fed her.

Gracie was barking repeatedly from hunger.

Jasper stroked Gracie’s head, pity flowing in its eyes as he gazed at her. “From now on, I’ll bring you along wherever we go.”

Gracie barked twice as though it understood Jasper’s words.

“Come on, let’s bring you to your actual home,” Jasper put the dog cage into the car and got in with Gracie.

Then he drove to Stella’s house.

Meanwhile, Stella was still busy tidying up.

Jasper placed the dog cage in the backyard and helped Stella to water the flowers.

Stella stood by his side, staring at the flowers which she had taken care of with her heart and soul. She muttered, “We’re leaving soon. The thing I can’t bear to part with the most are my flowers.”

“You could let your seniors stay in your house. That way, they could help you look after the house and maintain your flower garden at the same time,” Jasper suggested.

“That’s a good idea,” Stella agreed. “Come over for dinner later. I’ll make lasagna.”

Stella turned around as she spoke.

Gracie saw Stella and it started barking at her.

Stella was surprised to see Gracie and exclaimed, “Oh? You’ve brought Gracie over.”

Stella then crouched down as Gracie ran towards her..

She reached out and stroked Gracie’s chin.

Gracie’s eyes shut comfortably, seemingly enjoying the rub.

Stella felt happy too, and her lips curled into a smile. After a while, she stood up and said, “I’ll go and make dinner.”

Jasper nodded.

She went into the kitchen and cooked a simple lasagna with beef, carrots, mushroom, and peas.

Jasper stayed at Stella’s place later that night. They slept quite early as they were both worn out from their journey.

When Stella woke up at 6 a. m the next morning, she realized that Jasper was not by her side.

She knew that she was up rather early, but Jasper had woken up even earlier.

She went to open the window and spotted Jasper, who was practicing kickboxing in the backyard. She smiled slightly at this sight.

Stella put on a set of casual sportswear and ran to the backyard after brushing her teeth and washing up. She stood in front of him.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She knew that no matter how close they were, she shouldn’t stand behind him when he was practicing martial arts. Otherwise, she could get hurt by accident due to his muscle memory and reflexes.

Therefore, she had to stand in front of him and learn his moves.

Jasper saw her trying to follow his movements and he raised a faint smile. Her actions were firm but the look in her eyes was gentle.

The next moment, he made a move and stopped abruptly.

Stella copied what he did and then stopped too.

Jasper held her hand and corrected her posture.

His palm was very warm. Due to prolonged training and gun holding, his skin was callused. She could feel the roughness of his palm when he grabbed her arm.

However, it was exactly a man like him that gave Stella a sense of security. He made her feel warm and safe.

She was a smart woman with strong adaptability skills.

He had only guided her once, and she could immediately do it correctly.

Jasper tapped her nose and praised dotingly, “You’re smart.”

“Let’s continue,” Stella said as she wanted to learn more.

Two hours had passed by the time she finished learning a set of basic moves.

Stella was sweating profusely. “I’ll take a bath first. Let’s continue tonight.”

“Sure,” Jasper nodded.

Stella heard her phone ringing as soon as she walked into the living room. She picked up the phone and found that Sheldon had called three times, but she did not hear it as she had been in the backyard.

She answered the phone.

“Stella, could you come to the police station later?” Sheldon asked.

“I have an appointment with a patient at 9 a. m., so I could come over at around 10. 30 a. m. However, please do keep my schedule in mind next time,” Stella reminded him.

“We’ve uncovered a piece of very important information, but we can’t be sure whether it’s the culprit,” Sheldon explained.

“This matter is important but not urgent. You didn’t have to call me at such early hours. I will only adjust my schedule if it is an emergency. Do you understand? See you at 10. 30 a. m. later,” Stella replied indifferently and hung up the phone after that.

It was already 8. 25 a. m. She had to take a quick shower and buy a sandwich on her way to the clinic, else, she was going to be late.

Stella quickly walked into the bathroom and took a shower. She was surprised when she came out and saw a serving of omelet on the table. She asked, “Where did you get this?”

“There are stores here that are run by the people from A Country,” Jasper explained. “It’s just a simple breakfast, and it will only take you ten minutes to go to the clinic. So you still have ten minutes to spare to eat your breakfast. You won’t be late.”

“Did you buy it from the nearby stores? But I’ve never seen any of them selling this?” Stella questioned again as she was still surprised. Then, she went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of ketchup.

“No, it’s a bit far from here. About a 20-minute drive.”

“So…” Stella was even more curious now. “You went there by rocket.”

Jasper was amused and he chuckled. “I went to buy it at around 5:30 a. m. and served it on the table. You were still sleeping, so I didn’t ask you to come with me. It had already gotten cold when you were showering, so I heated it.”

“Oh…” Stella understood now.

She was too anxious to practice kickboxing with him earlier that she hadn’t noticed the plate of breakfast on the table.

She was busy answering the phone after practicing and was in a hurry to take a shower, so she had missed the breakfast on the table yet again.

Stella had studied neuroscience before. When humans are focused on one specific thing, they tend to ignore everything else in their surroundings. The surrounding scenes would be as though fixated on a computer screen, all one could remember is what he or she had focused on.

Hypnosis was a method that allowed a person to subconsciously recall those ignored details in the scenes. It might be blurry, but it was possible to recall things one has no memory of.

Hence, Stella was in that exact situation. There was a plate of omelet in her view, but she had completely missed it because she was focused on something else.

She finished her breakfast quickly before Jasper sent her to the clinic.

“From now on, the first thing we should do after we get up in the morning is to have breakfast. Otherwise, we would have to rush to eat, and it wouldn’t be good for our digestion,” Jasper said.

“Well, it takes 28 days to form a habit. I will make some plans after I get home from work. I want to practice more kickboxing, and I also want to continue to tend my garden. I also want to apply for a job at your military base and be in charge of the psychology department. When I’m free, I could even bring our kids along. Doesn’t that sound nice?”

Jasper did not reply, but the look in his eyes became much softer.

It was good to have such a plan. Besides, it was also the life he dreamed of.

Stella arrived at the clinic not long after. There were only two minutes to nine o’clock, and her patient, Cyril, had already arrived.

Stella smiled at him and ushered, “Come with me.”

Cyril followed Stella closely to the treatment room.

Stella served him a glass of water and sat opposite him. “Have you seen that man recently?”

Cyril shook his head as he answered, “I am not afraid of him anymore ever since I talked to you about it. But he has stopped showing up. I think I won’t see him again…”

“That is not necessarily the case. He will show up again when your willpower grows weak again. Nevertheless, you don’t have to be afraid when he comes out. Keep staring at him and see if there is anything abnormal with his body. That way, you will be able to discern that he isn’t real. You could make him disappear with your mind. He is fake and he has no strength against you at all,” Stella replied with a smile.

She also hoped that she could cure him as soon as possible. Then, she would be able to return to A Country.
