After Katty Davis left, Stella Grace needed to calm herself down. She held a cup of tea in her hand, stood by the window, and looked out at the pedestrians passing by. Some were smiling, some looked pale and sad, and some hid all their emotions and put on a poker face. There were all kinds of expressions, emotions and mood. Perhaps, this was life. Everyone was lucky to have come into this world, God gave everyone an opportunity to experience life. In life, there would be moments of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty. One could choose how they wanted to live their lives. To be happy? Sad? Worry? Or to take it easy? People who were easily satisfied could find happiness in just a delicious piece of bread. People who were not easily satisfied wouldn't be happy even a table full of delicacies were set in front of them, they'll still find something to complain about. She should let go of all her desires in order to set herself free fro
Stella Grace was worried throughout the dinner. She sneaked glances at Jasper Milton as they ate. He was very self-conscious, slowly enjoying his food. He glanced up at Stella, looking her straight in the eyes. Stella felt a little guilty and looked away. He plopped a piece of steak onto Stella's plate. "Eat more, you're too thin. It won't be easy for you to get pregnant if you're underweight," Jasper said in a serious tone. Stella blushed. Pregnant? What was going through his mind? Eli looked suspiciously at Jasper, then at Stella, then back at Jasper. He was still looking at Stella as if he only had eyes for her. He lost his memory and found her again. Was that love? "Chief, do you like Stella?" Eli asked bluntly. Stella nervously held her fork tight and lowered her head, pretending not to care about his answer. Just when she thought he wasn't going to answer, he did. "Yes." Stella's hands shook.
Stella Grace didn't know where he was taking her. Anyway, Jasper Milton would not do anything to her. Stella looked out of the window. "How long will it take?" "An hour and a half," Jasper replied. "Wake me up when we are there." She leaned against the chair and closed her eyes. Jasper took off his blazer and covered her body. Stella didn't fall asleep. She smelled the faint smell of smoke on his blazer. Was he smoking just now? She didn't like the smell of smoke, so she opened her eyes to look at him. It had been three years, Jasper had matured. He became more reserved and less talkative. And yet he still gave people a sense of security, probably a characteristic of a soldier. "Don't smoke, it's bad for your health," Stella said gently. "I didn't like smoking in the past. I kept getting insomnia for the past three years. Add that to stress at work, and you can see why I started smoking more and more often until it be
Women had the softest hearts. She would quarrel with her boyfriend without the intention to leave him but to make him what she wanted him to be. She would angry at him not because she wanted to break up with him, but to know if she still had a place in his heart. At least, that was the way it was for her. Stella didn't care whether the man was rich, powerful, or good-looking. She would be willing to spend her life with a man even if he was poor. All she asked for was a place in his heart. If she did not, then it would be pointless. Stella wanted to give herself a chance. One last chance for love. She tapped his chest with her index finger. "Do you have me in there?" "Yes." Jasper stared at her, the fire of determination evident in his eyes. "Can I take Bettany's place in your heart?" Stella asked with teary eyes. "You already did." Jasper rasped. Stella made up her mind. "Okay, I'll marry you. In the future, as long as
Half an hour later, Stella Grace and Jasper Milton both fell asleep without taking a shower. They could easily fall asleep after exercising... Early in the morning, Stella heard birds chirping. When she opened her eyes, it was already bright. She turned around and found that Jasper had left. She reached for her phone on the bedside table and took a look at it. It was 5:30 a.m. Jasper got up so early. She saw her suitcase next to the tea table. She didn't even know when the suitcase was put in the room. She got out of bed and opened the suitcase. Everything was there. She changed her clothes and walked into the bathroom. There was a new set of LANMER cosmetics set near his sink. She remembered that the first set of cosmetics he gave her a long time ago were from this brand too. Perhaps he loved the brand. Stella smiled. When she finished washing up and was ready to wash her clothes, she couldn't find the clothes sh
"Have you forgotten what happened last time?" Suzi Shine threatened. Suzi and Steven Milton kidnapped her to threaten Jasper into marrying Katty Davis. They even cut her finger off. Her heart still ached whenever she thought about it. Stella smirked. "I recorded the kidnapping three years ago, including State Mayor Cher's involvement. I have documented every single person involved by name. It is kept in a black box in the United States with my friend. With my current reputation, experts around the world would be inclined to believe me. Even if they don't, I am sure it will go viral on the news. What's more important is that they are all true facts with evidence to back them up." Suzi panicked. "Are you crazy? Do you know how many people will suffer if this gets exposed?" "Well, it depends solely on you. If you don't bother me, we will be at peace. But if you come after me, then I'm sorry. I don't have the time or energy to think about others. The o
"I will remember it. Don't bring this up again in the future," Jasper Milton said in a commanding tone. Since she had made up her mind to get married, she should forget all the unhappy things. Stella Grace nodded and smiled. "Let's go, my dear Mr. Milton." Jasper was dissatisfied with this address. "Am I still Mr. Milton now?" Was she not willing to marry him? "Hmm, my husband?" Stella probed. Jasper smiled. "Hmm, not bad." "Let's go." Jasper held her hand and walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau. The morning sun was not too strong. It fell on them and their shadows overlapped each other. Stella realized Jasper was actually nervous. His palm was sweaty and sticky. He walked in and looked around before walking to a counter. "Hi, we are here to get married," Jasper said to the staff at the counter. The staff was an impatient person. "ID card and birth certificate, please. Photos will be taken later. You are not
Think thrice before getting into a marriage. If it did not start well, it would definitely not end well. She and Jasper had a good start. They could only hope that things would turn out well. "Each of us can keep a copy." Stella happily put her ID card, birth certificate, and marriage certificate into her bag. Jasper glanced at her bright eyes and white teeth, his heart instantly softened. This woman, who was a stranger, had now become his wife. He needed to take good care of her for the rest of his life. He couldn't help but to smile at the thought. "Shouldn't we keep them together?" Stella smiled, took out her copy, and put it in the gift bag. "Thank you, my husband." Jasper cleared his throat. "You're welcome." "Ha, ha, ha." Stella smiled happily. She could still remember how she had bombarded him with questions when they first met. He took his time to answer all of them, just like now. In fact, Jasper had not changed at a
