Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella disregarded him. She walked past him to play with Sandro.

“Say a word and I will willingly return to be your follower,” Elvis said to Jasper while giving him a salute.

“Aren’t you proud of being a sergeant currently? The President trusts you very much. Being a follower? Who are you kidding?” Lynette retorted in an enigmatic tone.

Stella looked at Elvis and said, “Just continue to work under the President. Don’t repeat your mistakes and betray your leader twice. The President is your Chief’s brother. Being loyal to him is the same as being loyal to the Chief.”

“I…” Elvis wanted to explain but he hesitated. He scratched his head and said, “I’m feeling quite ashamed. Knowing that the Chief is alive, I wish to follow him.”

“Sweet words. However, the Chief dares not accept you as a follower anymore,” Lynette replied sardonically.

“There’s no difference even if you follow him,” Jasper responded simply.

Elvis lowered his eyes. He felt very guilty as he looked at Jasper anxiously.

Jasper had always been formidable and indifferent. He had a piercing gaze and carried out his tasks vigorously and effectively.

Elvis lowered his head. “Chief, I’ll take my leave.”

“If you have time to spare, help me set up a tent by the lake. We will go fishing in a while,” Stella remarked.

“Noted, I’ll do it at once.” A smile broadened on his face. When they took no heed of him, his smile faltered.

“Mrs. Milton, you may not be aware but he is currently the President’s favorite,” Lynette protested.

“He has a soft heart and he does not dominate others. Aside from that, he is reliable and capable. No matter who he follows, he’ll prove to be impressive. An individual’s character determines his destiny. What about you? Do you still like him?” Stella inquired.

Lynette’s eyes turned red. “I don’t like him.”

Stella smiled. “If you like someone or yearn for something, you must first be true to your own feelings. If it doesn’t work out in the end, just let it go. One day, the right man will appear. Life is short, don’t waste your time on unnecessary resentment and sorrow.”

Lynette lowered her head and burst into tears. “He never noticed me back then, he won’t fall for me now.”

“So whenever you pick a bone with him, you’re actually furious with yourself. Your actions pushed him further away yet you can’t blame yourself. Hence, you vent your anger at him. You’d rather be impertinent and belittle him with scornful remarks.

When in fact, he did not do anything wrong. A fine bird chooses a tree to nest in. Everyone is just striving for a better future,” Stella took the words right out of Lynette’s mouth.

Lynette ceased weeping and looked at Stella. Stella’s gaze made her ashamed.

“Forget him and be kind to yourself. Let me teach you how to put on makeup for the next few days. You will eventually attract someone better. My mother knows many gentlemen. I could introduce them to you,” Stella spoke with a comforting tone.

Suzi was coaxing Sandro when she heard Stella’s remarks. She turned around and said to Lynette with a smile, “There are many tall and handsome elite young men in Milton Corp. You are my goddaughter. They will definitely be head over heels for you.”

Lynette sniffed and responded in a choked voice, “I understand. I’ll give up on him.”

“Once you have decided to love someone, you should love him with all your heart. Otherwise, you will hurt the person. Those who hurt another do not deserve to receive love,” Stella remarked.

“Yes, I understand. Thank you, Mrs. Milton, for your guidance,” Lynette nodded and replied.

“You are a kind-hearted, righteous, and faithful girl. You will meet a good man.”

Lynette felt much better after listening to Stella’s advice. It felt as though a heavy burden was lifted off her shoulders. She had been heading into a blind alley previously, tormenting herself internally until she became bitter and resentful.

“Will Bellamy come over this afternoon?” Suzi asked.

Stella nodded. “Yes.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll go out to buy some groceries. I’ll make delicious dishes for you guys tonight.”

“Madam Suzi, please enjoy your time with Chief Milton and Little Sandro. I’ll go and buy the groceries. It won’t be long,” Lynette said.

“Alright, thank you for your help.” Suzi was unwilling to part with Sandro either.

Stella and Jasper locked eyes.

Suzi seemed to show a great fondness towards Sandro. Once they leave, Suzi will surely miss him.

They proceeded to go fishing.

“Why don’t you bring Ralph back?” Stella said to Jasper, “He could keep Mom company.”

Jasper held her hand and asked, “What about Dante? Do you want to see him?”

“We often emphasize the importance of upbringing, but which is more significant? To raise them or to nurture them with love and care? Some people give birth to children without bearing the responsibility to raise them whereas some raise their children but fail to play a role in their growth and development. Dante seems to favor his adoptive parents. Although they are only farmers, their love for him is authentic.”

“Hence?” Jasper glanced at Stella.

“We still have things to do. It is best to let Dante’s adoptive parents take care of him in the meantime. They may be uneducated, but at least they are kind-hearted souls. We could arrange for teachers to provide classes. If a day comes and we decide not to leave again after returning, we could bring Dante and Dante’s adoptive parents back to live together. What do you think?”

“Hmm,” Jasper replied, “I’ll follow what you say.”

Stella smiled and cuddled Jasper’s arm. “When I was a child, I felt very lonely. The lost of my parents exacerbated the situation. You changed everything. Ever since I had you, I no longer feel that I am the only person in the world.

Once you recover and stop taking medication in the future, let’s give birth to more children. Everything in this world might be flawed, but giving birth to them gives life a new light. When the time comes and we pass on, they could then rely on one another. They won’t be helpless or alone. What do you reckon?”

Jasper gazed affectionately at her. “Sure.”

After a while, they reached the lake.

Elvis had already set up a tent and prepared the tables, chairs, a stove, a kettle and cups.

“It feels just like a year ago when you still live here,” Stella sighed.

Jasper grinned and pulled her onto a chair while holding on to her hand. He placed the bait on the hook and handed the fishing rod to Stella.

Stella began fishing in the hole that they had prepared beforehand.

The gloomy weather turned genial at noon. It was now sunny and warm, just like Stella’s mood.

After a while, she felt a little sleepy. She leaned on Jasper’s shoulder to take a nap. She could depend on him to complete the task.

Ten minutes later, she had fallen into a slumber. Jasper called her, “Stella.”

Stella woke up and looked at him. “Did we catch a fish?”

“Yes. If you’re sleepy, go and sleep in the tent. I’ll wake you up when we are ready,” Jasper responded.

“Alright, I’ll go rest for a while. I’ll nap for around an hour,” Stella felt a little dizzy after waking up. She crawled into the tent and dozed off within minutes.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

After catching three fish, Jasper spotted Bellamy’s car.

Bellamy’s car came to a halt by the lake. He got out of the car, looked at Jasper, and smiled. “Where is she?”

Jasper raised his chin to point towards the tent. He washed his hands and approached Bellamy…
