Stella Grace came to her senses and looked at Jasper Milton No matter what they went through, they still couldn't be together. Was it because she didn't fulfill her promise to Timmy Nine? After she left, Jasper would go back to Bettany. Would he forget her again? If she left and changed her appearance, where would she take Titus? The more she thought about it, the more distracted she became. "I'm thinking about Tavers Village. I'm a little distracted," Stella said with a smile. Jasper smiled and looked at her dotingly. "I didn't expect my mother to accept us so soon." "Your mother actually loves you very much. Three years ago, your father kidnapped me. Your mother was the one who stopped it. If it weren't for your mother, I might have died. She is not a bad person. She just wants the best for you," Stella explained. "If she gets to know you, she will eventually see the good in you, and in time, she will realize that you are the most suit
Stella's heart was trembling. In other words, if Bettany Hadley brought their child to him, he would still choose her, right? Unfortunately, she was going to be one to give up first this time around. Even if they were no longer together in the future, he will always be the man whom she loved the most, forever and always. "Jasper, why do you like me? Didn't you say that I wasn't your type?" Stella smiled and said. "You've been pushing me away, so I said that on purpose. I think you fit my requirements quite perfectly." Jasper Milton murmured. His face turned red. He was not used to saying romantic words like these. "I'm quite mean, and I don't speak nice words." Stella said self-deprecatingly. "Don't judge a book by its cover. Those who speak only good words might have ill intentions too. Even if they only had good intentions, they are probably a rare breed. I'm usually quite apprehensive to those who are too well-mannered. And honestly, I don't
A sharp look flashed across Stella's eyes. She was very unhappy. She glared at Frederick Addington and said, "Frederick, I don't understand what you're saying." Frederick grinned wickedly. "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. I'm going to play cards with my friends nearby. I'm leaving." He entered the car and drove away. Stella knew that he was here to give her a hint that he was everywhere. "I don't like him. Stay away from him when you see him next time." Jasper Milton said to Stella. "I don't like him either," Stella replied with certainty. Both of them headed back home. Jasper drove while Stella leaned against the seat and looked out of the window. She was gazing at the night scene. "Sleep for a while if you're tired. I'll wake you up when we arrive at the military base," Jasper urged in a deep voice. "Okay." Stella shut her eyes, but she just couldn't fall asleep. There were too many thoughts flooding her mind. Thus, she ope
It was already 10 a.m. when Stella Grace woke up. Jasper Milton was not by her side. She got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and stepped out of the room. Jasper was not in the living room either. She wanted to say goodbye to him before leaving, so she gave him a call. "When will you be leaving?" Jasper asked. "In the afternoon. It's already ten o'clock, I'll leave after lunch. Will you be coming back for lunch? If you are, I'll cook for you as well," Stella replied softly. "Okay, I'll be there in an hour." Jasper hung up and looked at the report in his hand. There were two types of medications in Stella's bag. One was the sleeping pills, and the other was Chlorpromazine. The sedative in Chlorpromazine was generally used to cure those with manic depressive disorder. Why would Stella carry this kind of medicine with her? He remembered when Stella quarreled with him, she mentioned something about being sick as well.
He liked what she said - "Our future may be full of thorns, but as long as we face these challenges hand in hand, we will definitely conquer them together." Marriage was only the beginning of a new life, not the end. After lunch, he took her to the train station. He greeted the station master. The train was set for Yale City and Jasper Milton had bought her a first-class ticket. When Stella Grace was about to walk towards the platform, she realized that she was reluctant to leave him. She turned her head and looked at him. The corner of Jasper's lips curved up slightly. He was calm and composed. Even though he was out of the military base, he still stood straight and tall. His assuring gaze gave Stella a sense of security. No matter how reluctant they were to leave each other, they knew they had to part ways. Stella got on the bullet train. A notification came to her phone. She tapped on the screen and saw Jasper's message. "I've reserved
"I'll go with you. I've assisted in FBI cases before. I hope that I could be of some help. Just treat this as a way of repaying you for introducing customers to me." Stella Grace said. On one hand, she was determined to help Rolland Cher out. On the other hand, Rolland's ex-girlfriend's father had a special identity, so she wanted to take this opportunity to understand him better. "Then, I'm sorry to be of trouble to you." Rolland said apologetically. "Please don't mention it." Half an hour later, Rolland arrived in a private residential area that was located in the city center. Stella noticed that the outer wall of these private properties looked quite old. Every house was at least 20 meters apart. These people used fences to seal up their front door. They made some parking spaces and planted some greens. There were even street lights and surveillance cameras. Policemen were standing in front of Rolland's ex-girlfriend's house, and they had set up a
"I've done the necessary paperwork here. Normally, it would be approved within three days. I will use my connections and it should be approved by tomorrow evening. I will give you a call after it's done. If everything goes well, I should be able to arrive at your place tomorrow." Jasper Milton stated. Stella Grace smiled. She was quite excited when she thought about him coming tomorrow. They had just parted their ways today, but she felt as if they had been separated for ages. "Have you eaten?" Stella asked out of concern. "Yes, and I made a phone call just now. The director of the Yale City police department will pick you up tomorrow. You have full authority over this case." "That's great. Let's talk about the details after I've seen the information tomorrow. I've checked the perimeters today. There is a surveillance camera installed outside their room. If the camera is working, not only would it be easy for us to find the murderer, there might be an unex
In the past, she used to shoulder everything on her own. She would keep to herself no matter how serious the matter was. She was so used to suppressing everything in her heart. Now, she finally had a person she could trust and confide in. Stella Grace gave Jasper Milton a call. He answered quickly, "Your call came much later than I expected." "Are you busy now?" Stella was worried that she was disturbing him. "I remember I once told you that you are the most important person to me. I will deal with your things first, only then move on to the others." The corner of her mouth curved upwards slightly. Her eyes trembled, she was moved by his words. Jasper was not a romantic person. However, his words always sounded very sweet to her, just like molten chocolate. "Jasper, have your subordinates gotten any news on Titus' whereabouts?" Stella queried. "Not yet. I have yet to receive any report." "Frederick just called. He is with Titu
