Chapter 89 Stella, I Love You
Stella Grace knew that the words that came out of Frederick Addington’s mouth were definitely up to no good.
Since he didn’t have any good things to say, why did she want to upset herself?
“I don’t want to know anything about people or things that have nothing to do with my life.” She said resolutely.
“It’s good that you are clear about it. I heard that Jasper has issued an order to your hospital to have you sign up for the military medical team?” Frederick asked.
“You are well-informed. What do you have against Jasper?” Stella sneered and walked ahead.
“There was no enmity at first, but he stole my wife, locked me up in the detention center, and made me lose my position as the Deputy Chief. I won’t forget every single one of these. Do you think I’ll let him go?” Frederick’s eyes became colder.
“Don’t beat around the bush. If I were the as begrudging as you are, you wouldn’t even know how many hundred times you have died,” Stella said coldly.
“Even if I could forgive, it doesn’t mean that the others would do the same. For example, Katty, she will go to the military region too. Do you think she would spare you when you are there?” Frederick said with a smile, which was seeping with pretence.
Stella looked down and said with certainty, “I won’t go.”
“I’m afraid. If you don’t go, you won’t be able to work in the hospital either. After all, it’s a military order. Do you think Eli’s father dares to disobey?” Frederick said with his eyes lowered viciously.
Stella didn’t respond.
Frederick took a look at her, held her arm and pulled her to his side.
“What are you doing? Let go of me.” Stella said harshly.
“Since Jasper is getting married, don’t provoke him.” Frederick suddenly warned with a knowing look in his eyes.
“I will make my own decisions. Frederick, don’t forget that you are now my ex-husband. Legally, we have nothing to do with each other.” Stella pulled her arm away forcefully.
She walked into a fruit store by the street.
Frederick did not say anything more and followed behind her.
Stella picked out some durian and paid for it. Then she walked ahead with the fruits in her hand.
Staring at her cold figure, Frederick felt distressed, as if there was something wedged in his heart.
He was always oppressive and arrogant, and had never talked to a woman so humbly.
Stella was just a woman he didn’t want.
Thinking of this, Frederick did not follow her. He turned around, got on his car, and left.
Stella entered Celine’s room.
“Where is Frederick?” Celine looked behind Stella and asked.
“He left to settle some business. Mom, I’ll give you some durian as a snack,” Stella said softly.
Celine frowned and said, “You’ve quarrelled with Frederick, haven’t you? Stella, Frederick is such a good man. You should fix your temper. Don’t always be so spoilt, and don’t only think about work.”
“Okay.” Stella answered with her head lowered.
“All right, go to accompany Frederick. He bought me a TV. I’m going to watch some TV. Stella, don’t give your husband too much freedom, otherwise, he will be gone!”
“Mom, he is busy with his work. I have to wash your hair and shower you.” Stella said with a smile.
“No, you don’t have to. Frederick hired me a nurse today who will be serving me twenty-four hours a day. You should have a child with him. By the way, what happened to your baby the last time, have you given it away?” Celine asked worriedly.
Stella lowered her eyes and said, “Then I’ll go. I’ll come to see you next week.”
Stella picked up the bag and left her mother’s ward quickly.
She strolled on the road, slowly immersed in the distant.
She walked and walked, she didn’t know how much time had passed.
Raising her head, she actually arrive at the gate of the military special forces region.
She unconsciously came here. Was she crazy?
Stella turned around quickly, and Jasper Milton’s car was driving out from the military area.
He saw Stella, and shouted, “Stop the car.”
Lieutenant Johnson also saw her, so he reminded him, “Chief, it’s a sensitive period now. If you and Stella are photographed together…”
Before he could finish his words, Jasper had already got out of the car.
He held Stella’s arm.
“Let go.” She said coldly.
Jasper looked into her red eyes and loosened his hand. He said in a low voice, “Where are you going? I’ll send you.”
“There’s no need.” Stella saw a taxi coming over and waved her hand.
Jasper looked at her deeply, his lips tightly pursed.
The taxi stopped in front of Stella.
Stella was about to open the car door when Jasper grabbed her arm and pulled her forward.
“What are you doing? Let me go,” Stella said warily.
Jasper opened the back door of the car. Stella stood there determinedly and did not want to go in.
He held the door handle in one hand and held her with the other hand. “If you insist on a stalemate with me, I’ll go with you.”
“I don’t think we can continue to contact each other,” Stella said, frowning and looking at him with firm eyes.
“So you’ve blacklisted my phone number?” Jasper asked in return, his eyes turning a little red. He gritted his teeth, seething with anger.
“If you don’t like it, you can also blacklist my phone number.” Stella retorted stubbornly.
“Get in the car. I don’t want to say it for the third time.” Jasper said arrogantly while he looked at her sternly.
Stella turned her face away.
He kissed her on the lips.
Stella was startled, and she stepped back. There was no way to retreat, so she could only get on the car’s back seat.
Jasper sat next to her, closed the door, and said in a low voice, “Go to the Southern District.”
Lieutenant Johnson glanced at Stella and asked uncertainly, “Now?”
“I said go. What’s the point of talking so much nonsense?” Jasper said with a bad temper.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Lieutenant Johnson didn’t dare to ask, so he drove to the Southern District.
Stella turned her head and looked out of the window.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was strange and depressing.
Jasper looked at her and said in a low voice, “Milton Corporation is my family business. You know about it, don’t you?”
“Yes.” Stella responded and didn’t look at him.
“Milton Corporation first invested in the trade of silk. When it was in my mother’s hands, she started the real estate business. We were the first few businesses in the 80s which dabbled in the real estate business.”
Stella looked at Jasper.
She didn’t understand why he wanted to tell her this.
“My father had been holding an important office for a long time. He once asked the director from the Resource Allocation and Management Ministries, implying he wanted the director to sell a few pieces of land to us at a low price. In return, he would would get the position of State Mayor.”
“It’s normal to use power to fight for personal gain.” Stella said sarcastically.
“Now, the State Mayor is in danger, he has been captured by Zoah Davis. It’s entirely up Zoah to release him or not.” Jasper explained.
Stella understood, and her eyes became thinner and colder. “So, Mr. Davis asked for you to marry his daughter, on the condition that he lets State Mayor go, right?”
Jasper looked at Stella gloomily.
His cell phone rang.
He picked it up when he saw it was Simon Davis.
“Jasper, the State Mayor has died in the police station, was it your doing?”
“What? The State Mayor has died?” Jasper was shocked.
