Chapter 88 Stella, I Won’t Let You Down
Stella Grace slowly lay down on her arms. Looking at the door, her eyes were not focused. She whispered, “I hate mistresses. A mistress destroyed my mother’s marriage and my marriage. Now I am going to be the person I hate the most. I don’t want it.”
Stella closed her eyes. Tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes, gliding across her nose and down her temples.
Seeing her pained tears, Jasper Milton’s heart felt as if it had been stabbed. It was very painful to watch.
He wiped away the tears on her face, and his eyes deepened with affection.
Things happened so urgently and so quickly that he didn’t have time to deal with it. He didn’t know how to explain it to her. It was his negligence.
“Stella, I won’t let you to be a mistress. I promise.” Jasper said in a low voice. He then picked Stella up and sent her home.
Eli Wayne saw Stella coming back in Jasper’s arms.
Stella was smelled like alcohol, and Jasper’s face was not very pleasant.
“What happened? Why did Stella drink so much wine?” Eli asked worriedly.
Jasper put Stella on her bed and covered her with a quilt. He looked at Stella but said to Eli, “Please take care of her. Call me if anything happens.”
“Stella said that she would disown me as a friend if I contacted you again. She didn’t seem to be lying. I don’t dare contact you anymore.” Eli said in a low voice.
She looked at Stella, who was in so much pain.
Stella was a person who was rational and not impulsive. Seeing her drink so much wine today and Jasper saying these words, she judged that he must have done something hurtful to Stella.
Jasper frowned helplessly and looked at Eli. “You can contact me discreetly and not let her know.”
Eli shrugged. “I’ll try my best.”
Jasper’s cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Steven Milton’s call, he frowned irritably and walked out of the door. He answered the phone and said, “I’m coming.”
Eli looked at Jasper as he left. She had a hunch that something bad must have happened.
Stella Grace woke up at four o’clock in the morning from thirst.
Because she had drunk too much alcohol yesterday, her head was now throbbing in pain.
To think about it, she was responsible for herself, in this world.
She got up and poured a glass of water and put some honey in the water. After stirring it a few times, she took the cup and walked towards the window.
It was still dark.
There was no moon in the sky, and there were a few scattered stars.
Her cell phone beeped, signalling a text message.
Stella looked at the phone. It was Jasper’s text message.
“Are you not feeling well?”
She looked at the text message indifferently, and bitterness flowed through her heart.
Instead of replying the message, she put Jasper’s phone number into her blacklist.
She turned off the lights and lay on the bed. She closed her eyes but could still feel the pain in her heart.
Frederick Addington had treated her this callously too. She would get used to it slowly. One day, she would feel numb and it would fade away.
However, she did not know how long it would take for it to fade away.
In the end, she didn’t fall asleep.
She left the house at seven o’clock.
She hadn’t gone to see her mother for two weeks.
She missed her mother, and she didn’t know if her mother had forgotten about asking for Frederick.
Jasper looked on, as Stella was getting on a taxi. He took a drag on his cigarette and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
She did not reply to the message he sent.
He had been in the parking lot all the time. He saw her standing in the window at four o’clock.
She must have seen the text message, but she deliberately didn’t reply.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
His heart tightened, and countless emotions poured out. He put out the cigarette and sent her another text message.
“Don’t watch the latest news. Don’t listen to it. Don’t believe it. I will solve the problems and come to you then.”
He waited for a while, but Stella still didn’t reply…
The radio was playing in the taxi.
The broadcaster on the radio said in a brisk voice, “Some happy news to be announced…”
He continued, “The son of Deputy Commander Milton would marry the granddaughter of the old Deputy Commander Addington.
They are not even married yet, and they have already announced it to the whole world in anticipation!
Although I won’t get a chance to attend the wedding of these two big shots, I still wish them a happily ever after.” The broadcaster finished.
Then, he put on a beautiful song titled, “Tomorrow, I’m going to marry you.”
Stella leaned her head against the window and looked out indifferently. She quietly felt the pain in her heart flowing through her blood until it was in her limbs and bones.
“Brother, this Deputy Commander’s son is going to marry the granddaughter of the Old Deputy Commander. Hurry up to buy the shares of Milton Corp. it will definitely go up.” The driver chatted with his colleagues over then intercom.
“There’s no need for you to tell me. The stock of for Milton Corp has now increased from 80 to 150 points. Let’s wait until the wedding ceremony before it rises again.” A driver on the other side of the intercom spoke.
“Tell me, if the bride or groom runs away from the wedding, it’ll be so good to watch!”
“I’m also waiting, hahahaha.”
Stella listened to them chat away, their words were casual, but they stung at her repeatedly.
When they arrived at the sanatorium, the driver stopped.
Stella paid the driver and went to register at the gate of the sanatorium. Accompanied by the guards, she went to her mother’s ward.
Stella pushed open the door and saw that Frederick was also there. She was a little surprised, and she narrowed her eyes in alert.
Frederick was cutting her mother, Celine Grace’s fingernails.
On the TV, they had also announced the good news that Jasper was going to get engaged to Katty Davis.
She remembered that previously there was no TV in her mother’s ward.
“Why are you here?” Stella asked.
Frederick smiled maliciously. “I’m sorry, dear. I went abroad previously and came to see mother only after so long. Don’t be angry.”
Before Stella could say anything, Celine replied with a smile, “No, no, it’s fine. You’re busy with your work. That’s what you should do.”
“Stella is here. I don’t want to get between your catch up. I’ll go out and buy some delicious snacks for you. Mom, I remember that you like to eat durian the most.” Frederick suddenly smiled. He got up, put down his nail cutter, and went to wash his hands.
“I’ll go with you. You don’t know how to choose the best fruit, do you?” Stella said and walked out of the door first.
Frederick followed her out.
“Frederick, what do you mean by this?” As soon as they exited the ward, Stella went straight to the point and demanded an explanation.
“Didn’t you say that I can come to see your mother once a month after our divorce?” Frederick said with a smile.
“I don’t believe that you are actually that kind.” Stella was on guard.
“Do you think you have any value I can make use of?” Frederick asked in return, glancing at her and smiling.
His smile made her hair stand on end.
“Don’t come here in future,” Stella said, trying to protect herself from any more harm.
“Okay, I’ll go and tell your mother about our divorce.”
Stella grabbed Frederick’s arm, that would definitely aggravate her mother’s condition.
Frederick raised the corners of his mouth. “I’m kind enough to help you. You won’t be so silly to refuse me, will you?”
Stella lowered her eyes and let go of Frederick’s hand. She said coldly, “Thank you.”
“Do you know why Jasper wants to marry Katty?” Frederick asked lightly.
