"You are lauding at the spirit of the others whilst belittling that of your own," Linda said disgustedly. Allen smiled and said, "No, I just wanted to give you a blow so that you would know yourself better." "Allen, you are so annoying," Linda pursed her lips in frustration. "Don't you think that I'm helping you? The truth is there regardless of whether I'm annoying. Try to think about her merits. That's the reason why the man you like had married her. Then you will feel much better, won't you?" Allen said happily. "I'm fine. Anyway, I know that I am not as good as she is. That girl seems good, but I don't see you losing to that man. Perhaps, you are even better than him. Yet you didn't win her heart either," Linda retorted. Allen did not know what to say. "You win," Allen turned around. Linda stuck her tongue out and threw herself on Allen's back. She said coquettishly, "I'm sorry, Allen. I didn't do it on purpose, you're an excellent man. I'm
Stella Grace was really afraid of hitting Jasper's face, so she aimed her throws slightly higher. "What are you afraid of? Come on," Jasper Milton said in a low voice. "Let's stop playing this. Let's make a snowman instead," Stella Grace squatted down and rolled a snowball. Jasper stood in front of her and looked at her. He said meaningfully, "Stella, don't let me be your soft spot." "Don't let me be your soft spot too then," Stella said with a smile. Jasper put a snowball on Stella's head and stepped back. Stella understood his intention and finally stood up. He retreated 20 meters away and threw the snow ball at her. Stella could feel that there was a gust of wind coming toward her. In an instant, the snowball above her head was hit away. This was not about soft spots, but ability. Stella did not argue with him. She continued to squat down and make the snowball happily. Jasper walked to her helplessly, squatted down, and mad
There was a sentence on the note: 'It's easy to hide in a place that is often ignored'. On the opposite side of the note was a series of numbers. It looked very strange. Perhaps because of her curiosity, Stella decided to look into it. She had nothing to do anyway. She took a look at the bookshelves and noticed that there were numbers on them. She first found the book according to the numbers. She then turned to the specific page and continued to search for a number on that page. After finding all the numbers, she found that they made up 258614. What did this number mean? Was it the password of a bank account? Besides, 'It's easy to hide in a place that is often ignored'. What did that mean? What was he trying to hide? Stella Grace looked around and realized that the layout of this basement was very simple. There were bookshelves, books, and desks with drawers. She opened the drawer. There was nothing in it. The desk lamp was normal
He held her hand tightly and looked at her with confusion. Stella smiled. "It's the weekend today. I'll go over at about 2 p.m.," Jasper said through the phone. "Dad, I moved to a new house. You know where I live, right?" Ralph asked worriedly. "I know," Jasper hung up the phone, "I'm sorry," he said to Stella. "It's okay. You don't need to apologize to me. You never thought that Ralph would appear in this world. Just like the people who have cancers and tumors. Just because they did not want it doesn't mean that it would not happen. Since it has already happened, you should face it bravely. Anyway, Ralph is your son. You should take the responsibility as his father," Stella said indifferently. "I'm afraid that you'll feel aggrieved," Jasper said worriedly. "People will only feel aggrieved if they did something in hopes for something in return. For Ralph, I only do my duty as his stepmother. I don't expect him to repay me," Stella said with a s
Jasper Milton drove back and saw Ralph Milton rushing out of the security room. He was wearing thin clothes, so he was shivering. His eyes turned cold. Bettany Hadley really didn't care about him at all. He opened the car door and said in a low voice, "Get into the car." "Dad, I don't want to go. There is an old witch at your home. She is cruel and merciless. She wants to kill me," Ralph complained. Jasper's eyes became colder. He threw Ralph into the car and didn't go into the manor. He drove to the side and turned on the heater, "Who is the old witch that you are talking about?" Ralph saw that his father was angry. He hesitated, thought for a moment, and said, "She kidnapped me and forced my mother to leave you." "How did you know?" Jasper asked directly. "My mother told me," Ralph said confidently. Jasper made a call in front of Ralph. After three seconds, Bettany answered. He turned on the speaker. "Did you tel
Stella Grace was reading a book. There were a lamp and a pot of tea on the desk. Her shadow was cast onto the bookcase and he felt warm looking at her. His eyes softened a little subconsciously. He raised the corner of his mouth and called, "Natalie." Stella looked at him and saw Ralph. Ralph pursed his lips tightly and looked at her awkwardly. His eyes were flickering and his hands were twisted uneasily. Stella smiled and said, "You're back." "Are you going to talk to him?" Jasper Milton asked. Stella nodded and said, "Sure, I'll call you later." "Okay," Jasper turned around and went out. "Dad," Ralph shouted, but Jasper ignored him. He took a deep breath and looked at Stella. When he realized that Stella was also looking at him, he took a step back subconsciously. Stella didn't say a word and continued to read her book. She flipped through the pages, one after another. Time seemed to stop. He stood while she read. Ten minute
Stella Grace was still reading a book. After an hour, she felt a little tired. She came out of the basement and did a stretch. She saw Elvis Zachary in the kitchen, "Why are you here? Where is Auntie Wood?" "Auntie Wood was fired by the Chief. He asked me to take over the meal preparation for the time being. He should be able to get someone whom he could trust to come over tomorrow," Elvis said respectfully. "Fired?" Stella nodded. She roughly knew the reason, "Let me do it. I know what Jasper likes to eat." "No, you are pregnant now. You have to rest more," Elvis did not dare to let Stella do it. Stella picked up the vegetables and began to wash them, "A pregnant woman also needs to exercise to ensure a smooth delivery later. I used to be a gynecologist, so I know what I should do. Don't worry, your chief won't blame you." "I'll help you then. Call me if you need help," Elvis did not dare to leave. Stella cooked skillfully. She made a bowl of salad
After the meal, the two of them washed the dishes. Then, they took a shower and lay on the bed hand in hand. "You must be tired after a long day, right?" Jasper Milton said softly. Stella Grace chuckled. She then turned around and faced him, "No, I'm not tired. On the contrary, I feel pretty relaxed and in a good mood." "Huh?" Jasper glanced at her in confusion. "The matter of Ralph had to be solved eventually. Now, it's finally solved. Auntie Wood told you that I drove Ralph away and you fired her immediately. I feel... extremely relieved. Although she came back in the end, it still showed that we are all filial. So, everything that happened today is good." Jasper was worried that she would feel aggrieved, but after listening to her enlightenment, he was cheered up as well. He turned around and put his hand on her waist, "Stella, I'm so happy now that I could live with you and experience all the trifles in life together." "Me too. I enjoy the life t
