Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

The look in his eyes made her sad and uncomfortable.

However, since the beginning of time, it had always been easy to fall in love but hard to get along with each other in a relationship. No matter how much a husband and wife loved each other, as time went by, they too would forget how to love deeply.

They would start to get worn down by the trivial things in life.

She had seen too many of such examples…

Perhaps, she had always been self-abased, timid, and fearful. Therefore, when she encountered a problem, she would choose not to face it. Instead, her first instinct was to run away.

That was the kind of person she was.

“Well, you should go home and have a rest. Your health is the priority,” Stella advised him gently.

Jasper looked at her silently. He did not say anything, nor did he budge.

She didn’t try to persuade him anymore. She put her groceries in the refrigerator, and then made a call to Lawrence’s mother.

“Lawrence has been in good spirits recently. He is working. If there is a need, I will call you, Doctor Grace,” Carol said over the phone.

Stella was relieved to hear this. “Okay.”

She contacted Master Olgic after that and went to the hotel where he was giving his sermon.

When she left, Jasper was still there.

Stella was starting to get a little annoyed now. She complained, “You’re already in your 30s. Why are you still acting like a child? What’s the point of standing at my door?”

Jasper looked at her intensely and felt his heart tightening. He was not good with words. He had so much he wanted to say but he did not know how to voice them out.

“Whatever. Do as you please,” Stella said helplessly. Then, she drove off.

When she got there, Master Olgic had already begun his talk.

She listened to Master Olgic as he preached, “Worry and fear stem from love. Without love, there would be no more worry or fear. Hate and regret stem from love. Without love, there would be no more hate or regret. Sorrow and pity stem from love. Without love, there would be no sorrow or pity. Pain and anxiety stem from love. Without love, there would be no pain or anxiety.”

“A person without love is not a cold person or a dead person walking. What’s important is the love he has within him.”

“There are eight kinds of suffering in the world: birth, aging, sickness, and death, plus the suffering of having to part from those whom one loves, the suffering of having to meet with those whom one hates, the suffering of being unable to obtain what one desires, as well as the suffering arising from the five components that constitute one’s body and mind. Everyone is in charge of their own fate. It is your mindset and your beliefs that mold your life. If you can quietly observe the world, then you can enjoy all it has to offer. To overcome your emotions and your greed is to rise above all else. Therefore, cultivation of the mind starts from the heart,” Master Olgic explained.

“Only after experiencing heartache can you feel joy. Master Olgic, if you have never felt heartache, how did you gain such a joyful heart?” a woman from the audience asked.

“I gain it with no desire. Once your mind clicks and you get out of that box in your mind, you can observe all things in the mortal world. There is no sorrow, no pain, and you will be at one with nature.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Stella could feel herself calming down at these words. Each time she listened to Master Olgic’s wisdom, she would feel more comfortable and at ease as if she was in the presence of an amazing disciple. The spring breeze brushed across her cheeks, and she inhaled nothing but fresh air. It felt so calm and peaceful.

Suddenly, someone sat down next to her. His aura felt strong and overbearing.

Stella’s heart was beating fast as she turned and looked to the other side.

Jasper glanced at her too. Without saying a word, he turned to look at Master Olgic.

Master Olgic too saw Jasper. He nodded and smiled slightly in acknowledgment. Then, he continued with his sermon.

“If you’re planning to become religious, I’ll join you,” Jasper whispered.

Stella cast another glance at him. Perhaps she loved him too much. Fear, resentment, regret, sorrow, pity, pain, fear. These eight emotions appeared all at the same time.

If she were to leave him, she would be able to have a stable life again. However, if she wanted stability, why would she agree to be with him?

What exactly did she want?

“Master Olgic, there is something that I can’t figure out. Why is it that certain Gods can get married, whereas others can’t?” a girl questioned.

Master Olgic smiled. “It’s not that God can’t get married, but rather He’s seen through it, so He doesn’t want to. As for the other Gods, they were modeled after humans. They were born from human’s desire for life.”

“Is it true that humans will be reincarnated?” the girl asked again.

“We can’t be sure about anything past death. It’s certainly possible. Multiple scientists have suggested that since the body gets lighter after death, that could be our soul leaving the body. In the future, perhaps science will solve this and give us an exact answer. But for now, all we can do is stay true to our beliefs and carry on,” Master Olgic replied.

“The truth of the matter is often not important. What is important is what a person believes in. I remember that when I was a child, someone told me about how this certain celebrity wasn’t actually dead. After his burial, the poison in his body got absorbed by the soil and he came back to life. I believed in it so much that I went around telling everyone I knew about it,” Stella spoke softly under her breath.

Perhaps it was because of Master Olgic’s keen sense of hearing that when he heard what Stella had said, he looked at her and beamed.

Stella also returned with a smile.

Jasper’s eyes turned cold upon witnessing this exchange.

He knew very well that he was jealous.

He didn’t like Stella smiling at other men, even if the other party was a clergyman. Perhaps the latter was pretending to be a religious figure to get close to her. Then, after getting her, he would return to his old ways.

After chatting for four hours, Stella patiently listened and realized that cultivating one’s heart was a little similar to cultivating one’s mind.

For example, when a person was hurt by love, God said that you could be free to love unconditionally as long as you could let go.

As a psychology student, when someone was in a lot of pain from a relationship, what she would do was to advise that person to let his or her partner go. She would encourage them to go do something more meaningful in life.

Therefore, whether it was to expand one’s beliefs or to consult a psychologist, the goal was to gain a stable peaceful life. No more pain, just happiness where she could look at everything positively.

As long as she could achieve a peace of mind, it no longer mattered whether she could let go of Jasper.

Thinking of this, Stella turned to look at Jasper and said, “Jasper, I’m hungry. Why don’t we go home and have a barbecue? I have bought many ingredients.”

Jasper looked at Stella in astonishment.

Stella smiled slightly and ushered, “Let’s go.”

As she stood up, Master Olgic came up to her and asked, “Miss Grace, could I speak to you alone?”

Jasper subconsciously stood in Stella’s way. He was acting very defensively.

“Sure,” Stella agreed straightforwardly. She turned to look at Jasper and told him, “You drove here, right? Go back and wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”

Jasper frowned disapprovingly.

Stella reached out to stroke and ease his furrowed eyebrows, saying, “I don’t like it when you frown. Go home and wait for me.”

“Okay. I’ll be waiting for you,” Jasper replied.

Stella then followed Master Olgic to the room next door. He asked, “So, what do you think?”

“I think that in ancient times when there were no psychiatrists, people would go to churches or temples when they had troubled hearts. At that time, those were the places for men and women to solve their problems. With the guidance of God, they learned how to let go of the bitterness in their heart. That’s how God has been instilled into everyone’s hearts. What do you think?” Stella asked back.

“That’s a very interesting interpretation. This is my first time hearing someone explain it like that.”

Stella replied kindly, “Chatting with you puts my heart at ease. Perhaps you are one of my beliefs, or perhaps you are using your methods to guide me. I agree with many of your opinions. But there’s only one thing…”
