Stella Grace understood, "Let's take it one step at a time then. We should be more cautious and wait for the enemy to make a mistake." Jasper Milton kissed her on the forehead, "About having another child, let's just allow nature to take its course, alright? After all, we already have Dante." Stella nodded, "I'll cook first then." She turned around and went into the kitchen. Jasper followed her into the kitchen. "I'll help you." Stella smiled happily. While she was washing the vegetables, she said softly, "I missed the life we had on that deserted island. We got up at sunrise and rested at sunset. Every day was filled with surprises. We threw our troubles aside when we were there. It was like a paradise." "When Dante is old enough, I will pass the company to him. Then, we can live on the island. I have already bought the island, so it's mine now. I sent some scientists to study the island. Research shows that under normal circumstances, the island wo
"What is it?" Stella Grace waited for Jasper Milton to speak. "Hale was arrested. She will probably be court-martialed soon and she will most likely be executed." Jasper said seriously. Stella's heart skipped a beat as she thought of Hale Summer. She thought that she had led a miserable life, but it seemed that she was a tad luckier compared to Hale. "Where did she get caught?" Stella asked with sympathy in her eyes. "She was caught as soon as she landed at the airport in A country. My former subordinate caught her. He didn't report it immediately. He told me about the arrest first." Jasper said in a low voice. "Do you think that she is the spy?" Stella pulled her seat belt and asked. "In the beginning, I thought only both of us had survived. There was no one else apart from her. However, Bettany appeared later. The spy was definitely one of them. However, Bettany was disfigured, imprisoned, and suffered inhuman treatment. She even gave b
Please? Why was she pleading her? Was Hale asking her to save her? Or was she asking for help with other matters? Stella Grace realized that her hands were trembling. Hale Summer lowered her head and wrote the secret on Stella's hand. "That operation never existed." Stella did not understand. "What do you mean?" "It was just a drill. The mission was fake, but the deaths were real." Stella still didn't understand what she meant and she looked at Hale suspiciously. "Tell Jasper. He will understand what I'm saying. If the whole operation was fake, how could there be spies?" Hale continued to write. Stella felt a chill on her back. "How did you know that?" "I needed money, so I accepted some missions. During one of the missions, I was assigned to S Country and I met a minister there. I sneaked into their database and discovered a scandal. The Vice President of their country was our rescue target. He had a secret lover in X Country
Stella Grace felt uncomfortable upon hearing Frederick's unfriendly tone. She then smiled, "My presence here doesn't have anything to do with you, does it?" Frederick Addington suddenly realized that he might have come off as rude. "I was just curious. After all, you don't seem like a person who likes to be in this kind of occasion, Miss Wheeler." "You don't know me well enough. How would you know whether I like it or not?" Stella retorted. The atmosphere between the two of them was filled with hostility. "Master Addington, do you know each other?" someone asked. Frederick shrugged his shoulders. "Sort of." He looked at Jasper Milton and said, "When I heard that you were here, I came here to propose a toast. Director Milton, you must have had a lot of trouble recently, right?" "It has nothing to do with you," Jasper said coldly. "Of course it has something to do with me. We've known each other for such a long time, and I hope that you wou
Stella Grace smiled and she said, "What if the woman you loved comes back one day?" Frederick Addington suddenly paused and he looked at Stella suspiciously. He loosened his hand and his eyes dimmed. "I don't think she will ever come back again. I think Jasper thinks the same too. That's why he allowed you to be his assistant." Stella caught the strange look in his eyes. "Frederick, do you want to make a deal?" "What deal?" Frederick's eyes lit up with hope. "What do you mean when you said that I will soon regret my decision?" Stella asked. Frederick glanced at her and said, "Jasper is doomed. If you continue to stay by his side, you will soon regret it." "Jasper is doomed? What do you mean?" "Natalie, are you really worried about Jasper? Are you interested in him?" Frederick suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with suspicion. "If you're talking about Hale, then I suppose that you're thinking too much. Jasper is not going to save her." St
"I don't think you should involve yourself any further in this matter. I'll handle it," Jasper Milton said in a low voice. Stella Grace felt a little uneasy. She knew that Jasper was worried that she would be in danger, so he did not want her to be involved. However, she was not afraid of danger, nor was she afraid of death. Instead, she was worried that something bad would happen to Jasper. The thought of something awful happening to him made her eyes turn red. "Jasper, I promise that I would not run away if something bad happens to you. We'll face it together, okay?" "The difference between us is that I can't be dealt with by ordinary people with my skills and abilities. However, if they decide to go after you, you will be an easy target." Jasper said seriously. Indeed, she was powerless and she could not help him even if she wanted to. "I really don't understand. Why do you like me? I have a bad temper and I'm don't have any strengths. My ch
Once you had lost someone you love, it would feel as though the world was void of color. All that was left was black and white. You could be surrounded by many people but still feel so alone. No matter how hot the summer was, it would still feel cold. When she was eating, she would think of the times they had eaten together. His favorite dishes and how he would pick the bones for her. When she was sleeping, she would remember how he lay by her side and she would use his arm as her pillow. When she was walking, she would think of him walking beside her. He would let her walk on the inside, and he would hold her hand when crossing the road. When she was watching TV, she would think about him sitting next to her. He didn't enjoy soap operas, but he wouldn't fight to change the TV program with her. He would just be on his phone instead. When she was cold, he would put his coat on her and hold her hand. When she was tired, he would let her lea
Stella Grace smiled awkwardly. She wiped her tears, but her eyes were still wet. She pretended to be calm and said, "Sorry, I was having a nightmare." "I died in your dream, didn't I?" Jasper Milton said in a low voice. Stella looked at Jasper in surprise. "You've been shouting 'Jasper. Don't die'." Jasper explained. Stella sat up. Thinking of that dream, she felt a little ache in her heart. She lifted the hair on her forehead and squinted at Jasper. "I dreamed that you were smashed to death by a huge rock, and I also dreamed of Eli." "Dreams are usually the opposite. This proves that I won't die. It's still early. Do you want to sleep for a while more?" Jasper sat up and looked at the time. It was only 5.45 a.m. Stella shook her head, "I am used to waking up at this time. I don't want to sleep anymore. I'll make breakfast and go for a morning jog." "That's a good habit. I'll accompany you then." Jasper also got up. Stella brushed her tee
