Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Renovate it just the way I like it?” Stella asked him as she accepted the glass of water that he handed to her.

Jasper looked at Stella gloomily. “In the past, you were slow to warm up. I was worse than you were. This time, I want things to be quicker. I like you. I like you very much, more than you could imagine.”

Stella put down the glass and said, “You say that you like me, yet you want to erase your memory of me.”

“Because I thought that you were with Allen. I didn’t want to destroy your happiness. But I was sad, disappointed, and I just couldn’t take it anymore. That’s why I wanted to erase my memory,” Jasper said seriously.

They didn’t sound like sweet words, but they were more like a statement.

For a moment, Stella didn’t know how to express her thoughts, and her mind was in a mess. “I’ll need some time to think about it, alright?”

Jasper’s gaze got darker. “Let me know once you’ve figured it out. If you decide not to be with me anymore, I’ll leave the United States and go back.”

Stella had a strange feeling in her heart. It was a cold feeling that couldn’t be expressed.

She was reluctant to leave him, and since she was feeling that way, that could only mean that she wanted to be with him.

“I’ll let you know about it tomorrow, okay? I’ll go cook first. Do you have any ingredients at home?” Stella asked.

“Go get some rest. I’ll do it,” Jasper said as he opened the fridge.

There were a lot of fresh ingredients. He must have bought them in the morning.

What would it look like for a tall man in a uniform to cook?

“Let me do it. I’m not tired and you were injured,” Stella said as she took the ingredients to the kitchen.

“I’ll help,” Jasper followed her into the kitchen, took the apron, and handed it to her.

Stella put on the apron and Jasper helped her tie it.

It all felt very familiar to her and she turned to look at Jasper.

He rested his eyes on her casually, but she felt warm inside.

He then started washing the vegetables.

Stella was washing the vegetables by the side as well. It all looked very familiar and felt very natural.

She wanted to cut the vegetables.

“I’ll do it. You always cut your fingers,” Jasper said as he took the knife from her hand.

Her heart was beating so fast. She stood aside and stared at Jasper, who was cutting the vegetables skillfully.

She was actually unhappy when she was with Allen, and her heart would ache whenever she thought of Jasper. However, when she saw him in person, a look into his eyes would make her feel warm.

Her heart was in so much pain when he wanted to erase his memory through hypnosis.

She could fool everyone, but she couldn’t fool herself.

She did not know why he wanted to hypnotize himself. However, she was sure that she liked him. This feeling was real, no matter rationally or emotionally.

She hugged him from behind.

Jasper’s entire body shook. He was stunned and his hands also stopped moving.

Stella didn’t know why she had suddenly hugged him, but she felt at ease when she did.

Before this, it had always felt as though she had been floating in the sky. There was no direction, no emotion, and it seemed like she was detached from everything. However, she was the only one in the sky; all alone.

Jasper put the knife down and turned to look at her.

Stella still did not let go of him. She looked at his deep eyes. However, she still couldn’t tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face.

“Why did we separate?” Stella asked in confusion.

“I was seriously ill and I left. When I got better, I came back and found out that you’d already left. I immediately came to America and that was when I learned that you’ve already forgotten about me,” Jasper said in a low voice, and his eyes darkened a little.

Stella looked into his eyes, but she couldn’t see any hint of him lying.

Was she afraid that she couldn’t bear the fact that he was dead? Was that why she hypnotized herself?

“Shall we try again then?” Stella asked.

“We don’t need to. Let’s just stay strong together,” Jasper said as he looked at her with sparkling eyes.

He lowered his head and approached her lips.

Stella started to get nervous, but she didn’t seem to reject it.

Her heart might have felt uneasy if it had been Allen who was kissing her, but she didn’t feel anything like that when it was Jasper.

Jasper touched her lips.

Stella was startled.

His lips were very soft, like cotton candy. When he exhaled, his breath surrounded her face. It was very familiar, very cold, and very clean.

She did not move.

He was more gentle than she had imagined. His tongue touched her lips gently before entering her mouth slowly.

Stella’s back was tense. She could feel his tongue intertwining with hers.

In her memory, she couldn’t recall kissing nor having sex with anyone else.

Therefore, it was only him.

Stella thought about what would happen next. She got scared and pushed him away.

Jasper’s eyes couldn’t hide his desires. “What’s wrong?”

“We should start cooking. Otherwise, we’ll be hungry,” Stella explained. She turned around, walked to the basin, and began washing vegetables again.

Jasper hugged her from behind. “Stella, I’m very happy.”

“Hmm?” Stella looked at him. “You don’t look happy at all.”

Jasper smiled lightly.

Perhaps it was because he always looked cool and expressionless. It was so rare for him to smile and she felt as though everything had turned upside down. Her heart was thumping for no reason too.

“Why are you so happy?” Stella asked in confusion.

“I thought that I’d be separated from you for the rest of my life,” Jasper said with a smile and his eyes were sparkling.

Stella could tell that he was really happy, “So, do you still want to cook? We still have to eat.”

“Mm,” Jasper replied. He let go of her and continued chopping the vegetables.

Stella glanced at him. He was also looking at her, and the look in his eyes was much gentler than before, as though all of the deep feelings that he was suppressing before had been released.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

He stayed by her side as Stella cooked.

She was a little nervous and she would look at him from time to time.

He too would look at her often and said, “I’ll serve the dishes later. They’re too hot.”

“It’s just the two of us, so let’s not make too much food. By the way, have you started boiling water for the pasta?” Stella asked.

“Oh, I forgot. I’ll do it now,” Jasper went out.

Stella let out a sigh of relief. She was more at ease without him around. She removed the roasted potatoes from the oven and whipped up some tomato salad. She was already cooking the steak when Jasper came back into the kitchen.

Jasper took out the two dishes. The room was filled with the aroma of meat, and even Gracie was barking in the backyard.

Jasper then returned to the kitchen. She poured some wine, brown sauce, and butter onto the steak. She was going to cook them with high heat and finish it with garnish.

“What other vegetables do you need to wash?” Jasper asked.

“It’s alright. We’ve made three dishes, so it’s enough for us to eat,” Stella said.

“Mm,” Jasper replied. He didn’t go out. Instead, he just stood next to her, looking at her thoughtfully.

Stella could feel his gaze on her. “You could rest for a while. Give me another half an hour and I’ll be done.”

“I am resting right now. There’s something I want to give you,” Jasper said. He grabbed her hand and placed a ring on her palm…
