"I went for karaoke," Stella Grace said faintly and lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes were like black fans, covering her eyelids. Jasper Milton held her hand. Her hand was as cold as ice. He tightened his grip and said, "I went to the KTV to find you but you weren't there, only your bag and cell phone were." "With your capabilities as a Chief, would you not know where I was?" Stella retorted with a smile on her face. Her eyes were gentle, but there was no smile in them. She looked very strange. Jasper frowned. Apart from the location from her phone, he really couldn't find her. The tracker seemed to be broken so he couldn't trace her. After searching for the whole night, he finally found her location, and he immediately rushed over. However, he suspected that it was Frederick Addington who blocked the tracking device. She was covered with the stench of blood. He remained calm and restrained, but there was a surge of anger within
She had an unfulfilled wish. Back then, in order to be with Jasper Milton, Stella had travelled to Tavers Village to investigate the murder of State Mayor Cher, but it ended up costing Timmy Nine his life. Before Timmy died, he had given her the evidence. She promised to help Timmy fulfill his wish, and that she and Jasper would not get together until the murderer was found and brought to justice. Now, they were no longer together. Could it be because she had broken that promise? She was carrying the lives of a village on her back. Who was in front of her? Ryan Lameer. Back then, she had uncovered two suspects. One was Lionel Lausanne, and the other was Ryan Lameer. They were very close. Ryan had promoted Lionel. When Lionel was the mayor of Sun City, Ryan was already the deputy secretary of the state party committee. At that time, in order to investigate Lionel, Stella went undercover and even took the tes
Stella Grace was slightly stunned when she saw him. Didn't he leave in the morning? Didn't he say that it didn't matter if she asked for a week's leave? He even threw her bag out of the car. What did it mean, him appearing here? "Does the Chief have so much free time?" Stella asked bluntly. Her eyes were sharp like a thousand thorns, her voice unnerving. Jasper Milton looked at her deeply. She could see her reflection on his pair of black eyes. He was silent. Stella shifted uncomfortably. She grew restless. Her intrigue was answered with cold, silent treatment. So, she remained as silent as him. The two of them stood face to face, the atmosphere growing ever more awkward. In the end, Jasper spoke first in a soft voice. "Are you still angry?" In fact, he had been so angry that he drove off immediately without her. But he did not return to the military base. He traced her cell phone and found that she had gone to the hotel, an
This man treated his woman like a goddess, and in time, she transformed into a goddess. If he had regarded her as an old hag, then she would become one. Her time with Jasper seemed to have made her sharper with words. She seemed to become harder to communicate with. She used to hate harsh words, sharp tones, and indifference. All of which she now exuded. She could not go on like this. Stella Grace closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the chair to rest. Jasper Milton looked at her. Her eyelids fluttered, sleep was not coming easily. He felt very distressed, his heavy breathing washing over her face. She opened her eyes and caught his gaze. "What do you want?" she asked lazily. "Is your wound getting better?" he asked. His tone was calm, much softer than before. "It's better now. There is a scab over the wound. It won't take long for it to recover completely," she said lightly. She was trying to convince
Stella didn't want to see them anymore, so she left. She didn't remember how she left the house, she only knew that she walked very fast with a straight back. She tried not to look too embarrassed. Even if she lost the love of her life, she would not lose her dignity. A car stopped beside her. Lieutenant Shine rolled down the window. "Chief ordered me to send you off." She didn't want to stay there for a moment longer. She opened the rear door and got in with her luggage. She then leaned back and closed her eyes. "Go to Suntec International Inc. Call me when you get there." "Okay," Lieutenant Shine replied and drove off. Jasper stood by the window and watched them leave. His eyes darkened. His cell phone rang. He remembered the number, it was from the Director of Bureau of Civil Affairs. He sullenly answered the call. "What is it?" Jasper asked coldly. "Well, Chief, your marriage certificate with your wife has been restored. You can
Had Bettany reappeared before Stella came along, he might have stayed with her and taken care of her. However, he already had Stella in his life. If he stayed with her, Stella would definitely be angry and depressed. He couldn't turn a blind eye to that. He cared about Stella's thoughts. "Bettany, this place is not suitable for you," Jasper said in a low voice. Bettany Hadley began to calm down. "How is it not suitable? When I was locked up, I was thinking about you every day. Every single day for eight years. I only wish to be with you for the rest of my life. Why do you want to drive me away now?" "Jasper Milton!" Steven Milton admonished. "Bettany was burned to try to cover you. She was even captured by the enemy. You know how vicious their methods are. When she was rescued, not a single part of her body was spared, even her mind was in disarray. She was locked up for treatment, and every time she went for skin grafting, it is ex
"Why am I here?" Stella asked in surprise. She remembered asking Lieutenant Shine to send her to Suntec International Inc. Also, wasn't he supposed to be with Bettany Hadley? Jasper saw the doubt in her eyes and patiently explained, "I asked Lieutenant Shine to send you here. You still have a fever and you fainted in the car. I have asked a doctor to change the gauze on your wound. It hasn't healed yet. You are a doctor, why don't you take better care of yourself?" The more he talked, the more distressed he grew. Stella was too strong, and always wanted to shoulder her burdens alone. Even if she couldn't do it, she wouldn't say a word. Stella understood how she came to be at Skies Apartment, but there was one thing she still didn't understand. "Shouldn't you be at the military base? Where are Bettany and your parents?" Her question was so cold that Jasper's eyes sunk. Jasper turned off the alarm clock on her cell phone and put it on the table next t
"Okay," Jasper Milton agreed. It was just a simple word, but Stella Grace felt like a raging wave had swept her away. It signified his trust after a long journey. Finally, she felt a little warm in her heart. Her cold expression melted. She lowered her eyes and leaned against the bed slowly. "Are you going to lie down?" Jasper asked and immediately helped to take the pillow away. Stella held his hand. She softened her voice and asked, "Did you have dinner? I'll cook for you." "You're the patient here. It's not appropriate for me to ask you to cook. Let's go out for dinner tonight. Do you have anything you want to eat?" Jasper asked, somewhat distressed. Stella pondered for a moment. "When I was studying in the States, I loved Aglio olio pasta, roasted lamb, and pumpkin bisque. I remembered that there was a very famous place near my school. Shall we go there together?" Stella invited. Jasper smiled and said, "Well, I really like the
