Chapter 520 We Kill Because of Love.
Stella shook her head, her eyes flashed with confusion.
For some reason, the current Jasper felt strange to her.
The Jasper from before had never given her a feeling like this.
She preferred his calmness and reservedness, they made her feel at ease.
The current Jasper only made her feel frustrated and troubled.
She knew he had his reasons, and she should not be thinking of him that way.
She should not think of him that way.
Frederick stopped the car by the road. He looked at her and said, “Stella, promise me that you’ll never fall for Bellamy.”
“The only man I love is Jasper. It doesn’t matter if he’s alive or dead. He’s the only one I’ll ever love. I loved him when he was alive. I’ll still love him now that he’s dead,” Stella said with certainty.
Her words killed the littlest glimmer of Frederick’s hopes.
She knew the best way to gain Frederick’s assistance was to give him hope.
Yet, she couldn’t.
She neither liked flirting nor would she ever toy with the feelings of others. She disliked filling others with hope and then crushing them with disappointment.
She herself was once toyed and filled with disappointment.
Frederick laughed bitterly.
He now knew why he wanted Stella that much.
He was used to playing women. He knew what women were thinking and he knew the reason they were pleasing him. He knew too that certain women had paramours. These women had never been pure when it came to love.
Except for her.
Her definition of love was simple. Once she was in love with someone, she would do anything for that person.
How did he lose her?
“Where do you want to go? I’ll drop you off,” Frederick said in a deep voice.
“Is everything alright on your side?” Stella asked worriedly.
Frederick’s eyes reddened a little. He stared deeply at Stella and said, “Will you remember me if I die?”
Stella pursed her lips and remained silent.
Frederick smiled. His eyes became misty. “Why would you care if you were not going to remember me in the first place?”
Stella turned her face away and looked out of the window. Tears streamed down her face, and she wiped them away.
Frederick did not stop staring at her.
He knew how soft-hearted she was.
He also knew how ruthless she could be.
“I’ll handle Christian. Where do you want to go?” Frederick asked.
Stella wiped her tears again. She took a deep breath and calmed down, “I have already called Anthony to come over. Christian would never let go of you if you were to let me go. If we make up a show where Anthony tries to take me away despite your resistance, he’ll probably still make good use of you. He might even fight with Asher because of you.
As for the thing that your mother had mentioned, I think that the note was meant for you. You should think harder and find out where it is.
Also…”
Stella paused for a moment and said, ”It’s pretty easy for one to die. Take a nap and you might never wake up again. It might even be a good thing to die. There’s no more pain, problems, and feelings. Everything will cease to exist.
The only people who would feel sad and depressed are the ones who loved you. They’ll live with pain every single day.
Five years ago, I have never thought of committing suicide again ever since you saved me. I don’t want to hurt those who loved me.”
“Stella,” Frederick said her name softly.
”You might not get what you’ve expected after pouring your heart out. However, you’ll eventually meet someone who will love you for who you are. Even if there’s no one, at least, you would still have a clear conscience.”
Frederick smiled, “You’re younger than me yet you are so much more mature. You know how to love a person.”
“It’s never too late to change. ”
Frederick looked at her with an unruffled expression.
”Frederick, I was once betrayed and hurt by you. However, I had never thought of hating you. I wouldn’t be happy if I were to carry hatred wherever I go,”
“I almost killed you,” Frederick said guiltily.
“It doesn’t matter anymore because you have saved me five years ago.
Perhaps this is our fate, and it’s complicated. We were pushing each other to the edge, torturing each other. Frederick, you should stop loving me. Perhaps my words will make you feel despair, but despair opens up a new path as well as a change of scenery.
I love Jasper and him only. I’ll never fall for anyone ever again. It doesn’t matter if ten or twenty years have passed. He is and will be the only one I’ll ever love in my entire life.
One day, you’ll meet someone who loves you for who you are. Someone who’s willing to have your children. You’ll be happy then,” Stella said sincerely.
She wanted to let go of everything and live in paradise with Jasper. She had no desire for revenge. All she ever wanted was freedom.
However, Jasper wanted revenge. She had no choice but to stay with him.
She had no intention to hurt anyone. However, she was willing to do so for the people she loved.
It was rather contradictory, wasn’t it?Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
At this moment, five cars from behind had caught up to them, and there were densely-packed cars in front of them too. The road was blocked in both directions.
In the air, the sound of a plane drew closer.
The car behind was Bellamy’s, the middle one was Frederick’s, and the car in front was Anthony’s.
Frederick knew that she had to leave, ”Call me next time.”
She had said what she had to say. She nodded her head.
Her phone rang. It was a call from Micheal. Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt sorry as she answered the call.
“Stella, tell me, how many times are you going to disappear on me? It’s fine if you couldn’t make it, but you could just give me a call beforehand, couldn’t you? You have not even called me once. Why are you so insincere?” Micheal said helplessly.
“I’m sorry, Micheal, something came up just now. I’m very sorry. Where are you now? Send me your location and I’ll go over immediately. I’m so sorry,” Stella kept on apologizing.
Too many things had happened recently. She had totally forgotten about her meeting with Micheal.
“I’ll give you one last chance. I’ll fly back to the United States if you’re still not coming over,” Micheal said, pretending to be angry.
“Yes, yes. I’ll keep it in mind. Send me your location.”
Micheal hung up the phone.
Frederick was worried, “Is your friend alright?”
“Yes, he’s fine. Did you know that Bettany had been locked up in Saintordy Asylum? I asked my friend to sneak in so that we could contact Bettany. We are trying to get information from her. To be honest… she only listens to you. She’ll answer everything you ask.”
“There’s no point. Bettany is already blacklisted. No one will believe in whatever she says about Christian. She’ll be locked up in Saintordy Asylum for the rest of her life,” Frederick said.
