Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

He then hung up the phone.

Stella’s heart sank at once.

She remembered he was being hunted down by some people when she first met Jasper. Could it be that this incident had something to do with that as well?

Jasper had a lot of mysteries surrounding him.

She did not understand, and she was afraid to understand them.

After so many years of studying psychology, Stella knew that the more she cared about something, the more she had to force herself not to think about it. She did not want to overthink.

The more worried and afraid she was, the more she would put her whole heart and soul onto him, and that would make it difficult for her to focus on her work. Not only would it be of no help to him, but she would even burden him.

Stella got up and cleaned up the house, but Jasper still didn’t come back when she was done.

Humans are so strange.

She had once told Allen that if he could meet someone who could stay on his mind all the time and make him reluctant to let go, then it meant that he had found the right person.

However, Stella found it hard to calm down when it was her turn to meet such a person.

That kind of heart-wrenching feeling was worse than being alone. If she were to be alone, at least she wouldn’t have to feel sad, or experience that faint pain stabbing her heart.

God had always been fair to everyone.

When a person was without love, they could then see more of the world.

Whereas there was love, everything they see and feet would only remind them of the person they love.

Stella was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to resist calling him again, so she turned off her phone.

She left her phone at home and went out with an umbrella.

She went to the park for a walk. Then, she arrived at the lake and bought a bag of fish food to feed the fishes.

After a while, a school of goldfishes pooled over.

They were fighting over the food.

Gradually, more and more fishes swam toward her.

Stella gazed at the scene, and a smile appeared on her face. It was simple blissfulness.

“Miss Grace,” someone called out.

Stella looked back in surprise. It was a man wearing a priest’s robe. His skin was very fair and he was smiling sincerely. He looked handsome yet kind, and his presence made her feel at ease.

He had addressed her as Miss Grace, so he must know her.

Unfortunately, she had forgotten a lot.

“Hello,” Stella said to him with a smile.

The smile on Master Olgic’s face grew brighter. “It looks like you’ve already figured it out. You’re no longer obsessed with it.”

Stella felt a dull pain in her heart. She said, “No, I didn’t figure it out. I merely forgot a lot of things that I couldn’t figure out.”

Master Olgic remained calm as he asked, “Do you regret it?”

Stella shook her head. “I guess, at that time, I was at my breaking point. I chose to forget everything in exchange for the peace I feel now. Naturally, my mentality would change as well. A gentle rabbit would become aggressive as well if it was cornered. My mentality at that time should have collapsed under such a situation, so I don’t regret my choice. It was just a stage of life I have to go through.”

“You’ve been reborn,” Master Olgic exclaimed happily, “Miss Grace, you are one of the smartest people I’ve ever met.”

“You don’t have to try and flatter me. I won’t agree to be a missionary,” Stella said jokingly.

“Becoming a member of the Church is just the tip of the iceberg. If God is in your heart, you can practice your religion anywhere. What matters is that you’re happy, Miss Grace.”

“Have you been in the United States all this time?” Stella asked curiously.

“I came here to do some research, so I’ll be here for two days.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Have you eaten? Let me treat you to dinner,” Stella offered him.

“There’s no need. I am vegetarian, I have my own plans.”

“I just want to catch up with you and listen to your advice.”

Master Olgic smiled at this and gave in, “Alright then. Let’s go.”

“I know there is a restaurant opened by an A Country citizen, but it is a little far away. The vegetables there are fresher since they are homegrown. Do you have the time to visit the place?”

“Yes, I am free today.”

Stella then said, “Master Olgic, please wait for five minutes by the road. I’ll go and get the car.”

“Let’s go together. I’ve been walking the whole day today, and I came out for a walk just to relax my legs,” Master Olgic made a gesture of leaving.

“Master Olgic, many people face problems with love. Do they come to you for advice?” Stella voiced her curiosity.

“It seems like you really have forgotten many things. Fate decides who I meet. I only meet two people a day, then I won’t be able to take in any more,” Master Olgic explained.

“Then among the people you met, has there been anyone who came to you with a dilemma regarding love?” Stella changed her question.

“Yes, and that’s you. You are one of the most troubled persons in love I have ever seen. For the sake of love, you are willing to bleed. Fortunately, you were blessed by God for a chance to be reborn.”

“Bleed?” Stella was shocked. Her eyes were filled with tears as she smiled slightly and murmured, “I don’t even remember anymore.”

“You planned Christian and Quinn’s downfall, and you also helped Bellamy rise up to his current position. Your efforts were no small feat. Have you forgotten about all that as well?”

“Yes, I’ve forgotten all about it.”

“No wonder. There is no more resentment or anger in your eyes, only peace. However, Miss Grace, are you still trapped by love?” Master Olgic asked softly.

His voice was really soothing, just like the sound of an angel. It made her feel so relaxed.

She said, “Love is a very delicate thing, and there is a limit to everything.

The more you love a person, the more you cling on to them. The more you care, the more you impose yourself onto them. This will only end up pushing the other person even further away.

The correct way to deal with it is to do your own thing and focus on yourself. Even if you care, you must learn to suppress it and be calm.

That way, when someone is comfortable being around you, they will never leave. And even if they do, you will be used to living without them,” Stella spoke calmly.

“Yes, you’re doing very good. You excel in whatever you do,” Master Olgic complimented sincerely.

Jasper was still nowhere to be seen when Stella returned home to fetch her car.

There was an unavoidable disappointment in her heart. However, it was useless even if she was disappointed. There was no way to change the situation, so she had to adapt to it.

Stella drove for more than an hour and stopped at a farm.

Master Olgic followed Stella into the restaurant for dinner.

The hostess, Bianca, was very happy to see Stella and she greeted enthusiastically, “Doctor Grace.”

“I’m here to have dinner with a friend. I’ll leave the menu up to the chef. About five dishes will do,” Stella said to her.

“Okay, I’ll pick the vegetables now. Please sit for a while and have a cup of fruit tea. I made it myself,” Bianca said as she brewed some fruit tea for them.

“Do you still want to know your fortune?” Master Olgic asked after they had settled down.

Stella shook her head. “No, I cannot force anything. I’ll just let things flow naturally. I just want to lead a calm, peaceful life.”

Master Olgic smiled. “You’ve indeed changed. You’re even more profound than I am.”

“When you leave later, take a few watermelons with you. The watermelons planted here are very sweet, but it’s a little late into the season now. Starting next month, only winter melons will be available,” Stella explained. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar figure looking at her sideways.

Jasper was standing at the door, watching her with a burning gaze.
