Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“I want to stay here for the rest of my life. It would be great to be neighbors with you.” Elvis Zachary sighed.

“Well, with you hunting with Jasper, I would feel a lot more at ease as well. I could cook, do house chores, and take care of our children at home with your future wife while waiting for you guys to come back.

After dinner, we could all take a walk at the beach with the sea breeze. We could see the stars together at night, or we could play some games too,” Stella Grace was happy.

Elvis looked at the smile on Stella’s face and thought that it was a little absurd.

The Chief was already dead and he would never come back. Such a wonderful thing could only remain a memory now.

However, he did not want to ruin the good vibes.

“We could also play cards together. The Chief was very good at playing cards. He was a legend in the military base before,” Elvis followed Stella’s topic.

“Does Jasper know how to play cards? He didn’t play with me much,” Stella didn’t know about this.

“We mostly played with the other men. Besides, it’ll only be fun with four to five people,” As Elvis spoke, they pushed the door open and went in.

Stella saw that there were already 35 soldiers eating.

Everything was in order, and it was quiet.

Elvis handed over the ingredients that he had brought over to Lynette.

“Madam, please eat. I’ve prepared another one for you too,” Lynette Lanes spoke.

“No, I’m not hungry yet. I’ll eat with you guys later,” Stella refused. She then turned to look at Elvis, “Bring two men with me to go to the boat to get the quilts.”

“Okay,” Elvis agreed without hesitation.

After a while, Stella brought all the quilts from the boat.

She placed them all on the ground.

The wooden board was covered with a layer of straw with a set of bedding on top. She then laid out the quilts on top of the bedding.

There was no other way as they had too many people here, and none of them brought any quilts.

She prepared the other room too.

“Sorry, I could only prepare these two rooms for you because there aren’t enough quilts,” Stella told Elvis.

“It’s more than enough. It’s good enough that we could have a hearty meal and a place to sleep. It’s not a problem to have 30 or 40 people in one room. As for the rest, we could take turns to stay up and keep watch,” Elvis spoke.

“Well, let’s go and help Lynette out. She can’t cook that much alone,” Stella said as she made her way downstairs.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’ll talk to their commander first so that he would make the arrangements,” Elvis replied.

“Thank you.”

Stella went into the kitchen. The first batch of soldiers had already eaten, while the second batch of people had just started eating.

Lynette was cutting vegetables.

“I’ll do the cooking,” Stella walked to the stove and put more firewood in it.

“Madam, I’ve cooked spaghetti. It should be enough. The carrot soup is done boiling too. I’ll cook more meat as well as make more salad.”

“Alright.”

“Are you not hungry? Don’t you want to eat something first? After all, the baby in your stomach needs to eat,” Lynette suggested.

Stella felt a little hungry, so she did not refuse, “Okay.”

Lynette brought out a plate of freshly cooked pasta, grilled salmon, and potato salad.

“You don’t have to separate them. It doesn’t really matter,” Stella told her.

“The soldiers eat really fast, plus it’s easy for the food to get cold here. You shouldn’t eat cold food so I have kept it warm for you,” Lynette explained.

“Thanks for your kindness.”

Lynette served Stella a plate of pasta.

Perhaps it was because of pregnancy or hunger, or perhaps it had something to do with her mood. She ate one and a half servings of pasta.

It was already 9 p. m. when all three batches of the soldiers were done with dinner.

Anthony Levis introduced the company’s director and the three leaders to Stella. After telling Stella that she could order them as she pleased, he and Elvis took the helicopter and left the island.

Stella was ready to head back to the kitchen to wash the dishes for Lynette. However, it seemed that the latter had already washed the dishes. She was cutting more vegetables at this moment.

Stella came forward to help her cut the vegetables.

“I can do it alone. Madam, you should rest early,” Lynette said instantly.

“I have already slept for the whole morning so I am not that tired. Let me help you,” Stella picked up a sharp knife and started to cut the spinach. She glanced at the ingredients on the ground and asked, “What kind of dishes are you going to cook tomorrow?”

“There is plenty of time tomorrow. I will cook the ribs tonight. In the morning, I will get up to boil some potatoes and also grill some vegetables.

I’m going to make pork ribs, grilled vegetables, and mashed potatoes. We should be going back in the afternoon, right?” Lynette asked her.

“I’ve asked them to catch some crabs. We could cook some crabs for them at noon. It’ll be yummy just by boiling them and eating them like that.”

“Thanks to you, they seem like being having a vacation here,” Lynette chuckled.

“No, they still have to keep guard at night despite the cold. It’s very hard for them. Let’s head back at about 3 p. m. to 4 p. m. tomorrow,” Stella told her.

“In that case, the ingredients that we have prepared should be enough. There is no need to ask anyone to send more over.”

“Let’s eat together tomorrow so that they don’t have to take shifts. You must be tired as well. There are 4 of them keeping watch now. Make sure you put their food in the warmer so that it would not get cold.” Stella reminded.

“Well, I’ll talk to their commander tomorrow. Madam, please go and rest. I am almost done here, and I have enough time to prepare for breakfast tomorrow.”

“Alright. I’ll come over tomorrow to help out,” Stella stood up.

“You are the most down-to-earth leader’s wife I have ever seen.” Lynette sighed.

Down-to-earth?

Perhaps this had something to do with how she was brought up. She had never felt superior to others and she had never treated others condescendingly. To her, everyone was equal.

Stella went back to her room. After cleaning herself up, she lay down on the bed and turned on her phone.

Auntie Wood had not texted her anything.

Hence, she made a phone call to Auntie Wood.

“Madam, I’m sorry,” Auntie Wood spoke first.

Stella’s mouth curved into a smile.

As expected, she had read the documents.

This person was really dishonest.

Stella pressed the recording button then asked calmly, “What’s wrong?”

“Well, I got the document and headed home after that. I don’t know how the envelope opened when I was on the bus. I swear I really didn’t look at it. I swear on my family’s life,” Auntie Wood made an oath.

“You swear that the file was not opened by you, okay? So you’re saying that if it was indeed you who had opened it, karma will make sure that you and your sons will die a terrible death!” Stella said bluntly.

Auntie Wood’s voice trembled, “Madam, what do you mean? Do you not trust me?”

“I’ve told you not to open it as this document is really important. The file was secured tightly. I don’t believe that it would accidentally just open on the bus,” Stella stated coldly.
