However, her mood sank again when she thought of Eli. Stella knew that she did not have a say, nor could she change Eli's mind. After all, Eli had made her own choices in life and she would not want Stella to assert her opinions on her forcefully. Regardless, Stella felt a faint hint of sadness in her heart. She arrived at the military base shortly after. She immediately went to the yard. "Sandro is probably playing in the backyard," Jasper said. Stella put down her bag and rushed to the backyard. Sandro was having fun on the slide. He immediately stopped playing when he saw Stella approaching, "Mommy, Mommy. Hug, hug." Stella felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She was supposed to buy a gift for Sandro from D country, but she had completely forgotten about the gift because of how preoccupied she was. She picked up Sandro apologetically, "Do you want to go out and play later?" "Go out, out," Sandro grinned happily. "Let's go now," Stella
The man walked towards her with a faint smile, looking even more charming. "I was wondering if I might run into you. Lo and behold, here you are," Frederick said as he looked at Stella with his burning gaze. "I brought my son out to buy some stuff," Stella said. She looked towards Sandro, her eyes gentle and benevolent. Frederick followed Stella's gaze and saw Sandro. "He got the good genes from both you and Jasper. He's very cute." "Yes. Anyway, I'll be going now," Stella said politely. "Stella, let's have a meal together," Frederick extended an invitation. "Uh..." Stella hesitated. She couldn't remember who this man in front of her was, but it was obvious that they knew each other. It didn't seem like he had any bad intentions, so it wouldn't be very nice of her to reject him. "Are you worried that Jasper will be jealous?" Frederick asked as he noticed Stella's hesitation. "He and I already have two children. Jealousy isn't in our vocab
"I'm debating it in my mind," Stella said softly. "Hm?" Jasper glanced at her. His gaze was soft, full of love and care. "Adequate worry will allow a country to become more advanced, but too much worry could cause peril. If a country has no internal or external issues, a leader would not want to work hard. He would become complacent, and not make progress. So it's not a bad thing for Bellamy to be experiencing all this, right?" Stella said. "Yes," Jasper replied. "It's the same for relationships. Only through experience can a relationship become stronger. If Eli and Sean can't get through this, then they will separate. Without these experiences, they would not be able to last through other issues that might pop up in the future. However, if they can get through this and strengthen their relationship, then they will come out of this cherishing and understanding each other more." "When it comes to relationships, even parents can't control them, let alone fri
Sean observed Stella's expressions and her actions. "She turned off her phone, yes?" Stella looked at Sean. She didn't want him to misunderstand Eli, so she explained, "She has been immature, but she was very happy to know that you were getting released. It is because of her that you're here today. She disappeared right after she saved you. This is proof that something abnormal is going on." Sean sneered and turned his face away. His entire face was hidden in the darkness. Stella knew that he was angry. More than that, he was furious, so much that he did not want to speak. According to her many years of psychological research, Sean's small movements indicated that he had come to his own conclusion and that he was unwavering. He would not be willing to listen to anyone else's advice. Perhaps it would be better when he calmed down. "Are you hungry? Should we get something to eat?" Stella changed the topic and said. He looked at Stella, still thin
Stella entered Sean's room. He immediately stood up and looked at Stella, waiting for her to speak. "I've found Eli's address, but it's not convenient for you to go to D Country. So I'll go there instead and bring Eli to a different country. Then, you can meet us there," Stella suggested. Sean curled up the corners of his mouth and said insidiously, "She will not be willing to follow you if she intends to hide from me. And you are soft-hearted. In the end, we will end up with nothing. Give me the address, and I will solve this problem by myself." "But it's too dangerous for you to go to D Country. If Haward catches you, he can kill you on the spot because you have no identity right now. You technically don't exist," Stella said with worry. "If so, I deserve it," Sean said firmly, "If you don't tell me where she is, I will go to D Country to search for her myself." Stella took a deep breath and handed Eli's address over. "Eli has a six-month-old daugh
"Mrs. Milton," Anthea came over and said with a smile, "The ingredients you've requested have been delivered. When do you want to cook?" Stella looked at the time. It was already 10.20 a.m. She should get to cooking now. "I'll do it now. You watch Sandro." "Okay. By the way, Mrs. Milton, all the flowers and seeds you've requested have been delivered as well. I'll put them on top of the marble table. It's best if you plant the flowers and plants as soon as you can, otherwise, they might die easily," Anthea reminded her. "Okay. Thank you," As soon as Stella went back to the courtyard, Suzi came in. She had just returned from her business trip. When she saw Stella, she smiled and said, "Where's Sandro? I miss him so much." "Mom, you're back. He's playing in the backyard." "Okay, let me go see him. I'll cook later," Suzi said happily. "Mom, you must be tired from your business trip. Let me cook for you today. You just go watch Sandro. I'm sure he'll be v
Seeing Stella running over, Jasper raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Seeing his smile, Stella was relieved and smiled back. "Mom is back. She bought a small car and a motorcycle for Sandro. He's very happy about them." "I saw. Are you planting flowers? I'll come help after we're done eating," Jasper held her hand. Stella tried to pull her hand away. She reminded him, "My hand is dirty." "It's okay. I have to wash my hands anyway," Jasper held her hand tightly and went to the washroom. He turned on the tap and helped Stella wash her hands first. Stella felt her heart melting. "Jasper, I finally know the reason why I hypnotized myself now. I don't regret it. If I hadn't done so, I would not have been able to last a single day without you." Jasper paused and looked at Stella. "When I left, I didn't know if I could find them either. If I died, I wouldn't let you know. You promised me that you would live well even without me." Stella s
His eyes suddenly turned cold and deep. He locked his gaze on Eli tightly as he suppressed the anger within him. He asked in a cold voice, "You and Haward's?" "No, I found her," After replying, Eli suddenly realized that she was not in a dream. She looked at Sean in shock. "You-you, how- how did you come here?" Sean narrowed his eyes. "Do you not want me here?" Eli immediately turned around, and Sean held onto her arm. He was much stronger than her and she couldn't shrug him off. She shouted anxiously, "Haward, Haward!" Sean had an extremely frigid look on his face. She was screaming for her husband as if she was being molested. He covered Eli's mouth and pulled her to a tree nearby. "Calling for Haward to catch me, huh?" Eli fell silent and scanned him. His gaze was like that of a bunny. He was apprehensive, scared yet helpless. Even though he had come with good intentions, she was still intimidated by him. "I just want
