Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Okay,” Stella responded.

“By the way, what do you think about the Minister of Finance vacancy? A lot of people are interested in this position, and I think that it is unlikely to stay vacant for too long, at most until the beginning of New Year. What do you think?” Bellamy continued to ask.

Stella paused and her expression became serious. She stared at Bellamy and answered, “The position will usually open for election because they are too many candidates competing for it. Hence, it won’t be guaranteed that it could be filled up by someone from our side. I wanted to have a discussion with you regarding this matter. I was thinking of creating some problems, but…”

Stella paused on second thought.

“But what?” Bellamy asked.

“Although we had defeated Christian Saltzman successfully because of what had happened to Allen last time, I am afraid that we will jeopardize the reputation of A Country and cause the currency to drop if we were to cause another big problem. I don’t think that it would be a good decision to make,” Stella analyzed.

Bellamy looked at her and smiled dotingly.

Stella was not only beautiful and gentle, but she was also smart and kind.

Her kindness that was hidden under her strong outer shell had just been revealed for a little bit, but it was enough to touch Bellamy’s heart.

Jasper must be the luckiest person in the world to have met her so early.

“That’s not a big problem, since Y Country and A Country have always had good diplomatic relations. All these years, we have been helping them in economic developments. Not only that, we support them in architecture, research development, healthcare, education, transportation, and we even export our intellectuals to them. It would be safe to say that they are our vassal state,” Bellamy said to her.

“I have heard about that before,” Stella had never been interested in these types of issues in the past. However, she was forced to pay attention to them now.

“Y Country is a country with a multi-party system, so there will always be political issues. If a civil war were to happen all of a sudden, A Country would not only need to consider which side we want to be on, but we also need to put in a lot of money. Whoever puts in the most money will have the right to speak.”

“If it’s about money, I believe that Christian will have plenty of it, so does Sean. However, Christian will definitely put in a lot for money laundering.” Stella guessed.

“Christian’s money is most likely to be clean because his family owns several businesses. Likewise for Milton Corp, because we are obviously using a corporate account. However, that’s not the case for Sean. He couldn’t just blatantly take his dirty money out publicly.”

No matter how much money Christian puts in, it will be used for money laundering because it would be impossible for him to regain the position of Minister of Finance. So, you would be the one with the most authority,” Bellamy suggested to Stella.

“If that happens, not only do my people get the Minister’s position, but I could also build up the reputation of A Country internationally. It’s just a pity for the people of Y Country,” Stella said. She looked down and thought about something that Master Olgic had once told her. In order to succeed, she must first sacrifice others.

She didn’t want to do that. After all, they were all human. Hence, she always felt burdened by this.

One shouldn’t know too much about humanity, because it would only lead them into disappointment.

“I will try to coordinate the situation so that they won’t hurt the people,” Bellamy reassured her.

“Everything is so uncertain, and you might lose control over the situation. I am sure you understand that A Country cannot get involved in a civil war. Take XL Country for example. The war has been going on for almost six years, and it has not come to an end yet,” Stella said as she laid her head on the table.

“Don’t worry. I promise you that this war won’t take long, at most, a few months. Trust me, I have my ways,” Bellamy said softly.

He often made promises to her. The only thing that Stella could do now was to put her trust in him.

“Jasper, I’m a little tired. I want to rest for a while,” Stella said softly.

Bellamy walked over, then picked her up and put her on the bed. “I will take one box of test papers with me tomorrow morning when I leave. I’ll help you with it when I have some free time in the morning.

Stella had her arms wrapped around his neck as she said to him, “You have your own work to do in the morning, and I think that I could still manage it. I’ll do it at my own pace. Besides, I don’t want to be thinking about you during my free time. So, please don’t take my job away.”

Bellamy chuckled, then let out a grin, “Will you really miss me? Which part of me do you miss the most then?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Stella’s face turned red.

She had promised to help him with the job the last time. However, he ended up settling it in the bathroom on his own.

It had been some time since they last did it.

“I’ll be three months very soon,” Stella said shyly.

Bellamy looked at her deeply and said, “Well, no hurry. Take a nap first, and I will help you with some of the test papers. We’ll have dinner together after you wake up from your nap.”

Stella leaned on the pillow and looked at Bellamy, “It’s Monday tomorrow. You could come over if you are free and I will prepare your favorite dishes.”

“Okay,” Bellamy went back to the chair and helped Stella with the test papers.

Despite her tiredness, Stella still stared at Bellamy and refused to close her eyes.

She hoped that nothing would separate them anymore. She just wanted to live together happily as a family after seeking justice for herself. At the moment, she thought of Dante.

“Take a nap. I’m not going anywhere. We could still see each other every day,” Bellamy said to her softly.

Stella closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Bellamy turned off the music, then went over to cover her with a blanket. After that, he went back to his chair and continued to help her with the test papers.

Stella had a dream that night. She dreamed that Jasper was stuck on an isolated island with no trees, and he was surrounded by the sea. He looked at her with his deep eyes, as though he had so many things to tell her.

However, she couldn’t seem to hear what he was saying. Her heart ached when she saw him standing there with such loneliness in his eyes. She could even feel the pain and sadness that was coming out of her heart.

Suddenly, Eli appeared and stood behind Jasper.

Stella had a bad feeling, and she started screaming, “No, Eli, No!”

Eli pushed Jasper off the island. She then looked at Stella with a cold and desperate smile.

Stella kneeled to the ground hopelessly and screamed, “No, Eli, No!”

However, Eli refused to listen to her. Instead, she too jumped into the sea.

Stella was the only person left on the island.

She was sorrowful, so she too jumped into the sea without any hesitation.

However, her heart was aching and she had difficulty breathing. Meanwhile, her pillowcase was already wet. Bellamy looked at her worriedly and asked, “Stella, are you having a nightmare?”

Stella immediately hugged Bellamy and started sobbing. She said to him, “I had a dream, and you were dead. Eli was dead too, I watched the two of you jump into the sea. In the end, I jumped into the sea too because I was too lonely.”

Bellamy comforted her and said, “I won’t die. Even if that day comes, I’ll make sure to die after you. I won’t leave you alone in this place. Don’t worry. Reality usually manifests oppositely from a dream, so calm down.”

Yes, dreams would always turn out differently from reality.

It meant that he was still alive, and Eli was too. However, she still felt sad thinking about it.

She had experienced too many partings of life and death. She did not want to go through them again.
