Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

She was really fond of Jasper Milton.

She liked it when he was gentle.

She also liked him being arrogant and sassy.

She liked him, even more, when he was being unreasonable.

That’s why she was willing to give it to him, but not to Frederick Addington, he would have to only have her if she were dead.

“What are you laughing about?” Jasper Milton asked.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“I must have saved the world in my previous life to be loved by Chief Milton. I am beyond lucky. ” Stella Grace took a deep breath and calm her emotions.

Jasper Milton said nothing. He looked straight ahead holding the steering wheel.

Heavy rain pattered on the car, the sound added to his restless heart.

Stella Grace looked at Jasper Milton, and her eyes softened. “Jasper Milton, I think we should remain as friends now, I am very grateful for all that you’ve done.”

Jasper Milton slammed the brakes and looked at Stella Grace with an icy gaze. “What if I don’t want to remain friends with you?”

“One month is not enough to know the true colors of a person. Similarly, some even take a much longer time – one year, three years or ten years to fully grasp another person. I think I’m not the one for you.” Stella Grace was speaking in a matter of fact tone.

“I know best that you are the one for me. Stella Grace, I won’t allow you to back off at this stage.” Jasper Milton grabbed her arm tight, his eyes scorching.

“But I clearly know that you are not the one I have been waiting for. The more I spend time with you the more I know you, that’s why I’m sure that we are not for each other. Relationships aren’t one-way trips, if one person has different opinions then it will be hard to maintain the relationship,” Stella Grace did not avert her gaze from him.

“So, you don’t like me, do you?” Jasper Milton asked coldly.

Stella Grace found it hard to tell him the truth, “Yes.”

“If that’s the case why did you sleep with me?” Jasper Milton had lost all warmth in his voice.

“Because I knew you craved for me. You have helped me a lot and that’s the only way I can repay your kindness.”

“So you’re just repaying my favor?” Jasper Milton shook off her arm.

Stella Grace clenched her fists and looked at the ground. Her long eyelashes concealed her watery eyes. She admitted, “Yes.”

Jasper Milton punched the steering wheel in one motion.

A loud honking sound slashed through the quietness.

Jasper Milton was heaving violently and subsequently, he stayed silent for one minute.

Stella Grace said nothing too, she felt her body getting colder as time passed by, a chill was running up her spine.

After a long time, Jasper Milton broke the silence and looked at her with eyes as dead as a zombie. “Is it possible for you to fall for me?”

Stella Grace shook her head and said, “Your love is a burden to me.”

“I see.” Jasper Milton resumed driving.

He didn’t say a word in the subsequent journey and managed to reach Eli Wayne’s place to drop off Stella Grace.

As soon as Stella Grace stepped out of the car, Jasper Milton drove off. She didn’t even get to return his clothes yet.

She stared at the shrinking silhouette of the car and stood silently.

She knew that she had completely lost him.

This was the best outcome in hindsight. He was somebody that didn’t belong here, somebody that had made it in life should not mingle with a woman like her. She would be happy to just watch him on television from now on.

Stella Grace turned around and entered the elevator.

As soon as she came out of the elevator, her cell phone rang.

When she saw it was Frederick Addington, she felt very annoyed and didn’t answer it. She switched on the silent mode on her phone and threw it on the sofa.

She went into the bathroom, took a shower, changed her clothes, took out ice cubes from the refrigerator, and applied them to her face. Then she went to the kitchen to cook dinner for Eli Wayne.

Everything was so peaceful as if nothing had happened during the day.

Eli Wayne emerged from the door and saw the dishes on the table. “It smells good.”

“Wash your hands and have your dinner.” Stella Grace walked out of the kitchen with braised pork ribs in her hands.

“Are you alright today?” Eli Wayne asked anxiously. She saw the red imprint on her cheeks when she was approaching her. Her heart skipped a beat. “Who slapped you? Was it Frederick Addington?”

Stella Grace smiled and said nonchalantly, “It’s just a small wound, it’s not painful anymore. I was happier compared to the first year of my marriage.”

“This is domestic violence,” Eli Wayne said angrily.

“I slapped his mom two times actually, and he slapped me once. I am better off if you think about it.” Stella Grace tried to sound cheerful while consoling her.

“How could a scumbag like Frederick Addington even have a mom?” The more Eli Wayne thought about it, the more she was afraid that Stella Grace’s life would be living hell soon.

“Let’s eat dinner, you don’t have to worry too much, once Frederick Addington has his eyes on a new target, I will be back to my old life. Based on my experience he will get tired of a woman around three months approximately. By then, I will be free, so don’t worry about it.” Stella Grace sat down and started eating.

Eli Wayne held Stella Grace’s hand and said guiltily, “Stella, I’m sorry. Because of me, Jasper Milton and you would never have the chance to be together.”

“I met Jasper Milton’s parents today, his dad is the Deputy Commander and his mom is the female head of a big corporation, how do you think I can measure up to them?” Stella Grace asked.

“I think there’s nothing wrong with you.” Eli Wayne blurted out.

“Because we are colleagues and friends. Jasper Milton, a person with a social status as such will usually marry a capable woman to help with his future life. Even if this does not happen, Jasper Milton and I are an impossible thing. It was a short but good daydream.” Stella Grace smiled.

“Are you sure you’re over him?” Eli Wayne’s eyes seemed red. “What a waste.”

“Sure, it looks like a waste, Jasper Milton is like a few thousand tonnes of rice, nobody will pass on that. But I can only eat so much, it is just that the difference between us is too big.” Stella Grace put a piece of braised meat on Eli Wayne’s plate.

“If you cannot eat that much you can sell off the remaining portion and make a profit, you know. You’re too stubborn.” Eli Wayne’s eyes reddened as she was slowly overcome by sadness.

Stella Grace held Eli Wayne’s hand and said, “Friends are precious to me, too. I have thought everything through.”

Eli Wayne’s cell phone rang.

When she saw that it was Frederick Addington, her anger rose rapidly. “Why did you call me? Do you want me to kill you?”

“Open the door, I am outside your house.” Frederick Addington ordered in a commanding tone, then hung up the phone.

Eli Wayne opened the door with a mop in hand. Without saying a word, she swung the mop at Frederick Addington.

Frederick Addington grasped the mop just before it hit him.

Eli Wayne tried to wrestle the mop out of his hands but to no avail. She scolded, “How can you be so shameless? Where is my photo? Why don’t you go to hell? I saw with my own eyes what you and Felicia Chuck did in the wild that day. It was disgusting. Now you are harassing Stella.”

Frederick Addington ignored Eli Wayne and locked his gaze on Stella Grace. “Follow me.”

Stella Grace pursed her lips and remained silent.

“I’ll only give you one minute. I’ll wait for you downstairs,” Frederick Addington said. He shook off Eli Wayne’s mop while throwing her a sinister look. Then, he turned around and left.

“Stella Grace, you don’t have to go, just let him be. I have a good figure, so what’s there to be afraid of?” Eli Wayne said irrationally.

Stella Grace stood up and instructed Eli Wayne, “I’ll handle it myself. You stay at home and don’t do anything. See you at the hospital tomorrow.”

“Don’t go.” Eli Wayne started to cry.

“I have to face it eventually, I can’t keep running away. I will be fine.” Stella Grace smiled, putting her cell phone into her bag and walked out of the door.

The more Eli Wayne thought about it, the more she felt Stella Grace was going to be in danger.

She couldn’t wait any longer and called Jasper Milton…
