Federick looked at her tears and felt uneasy in his heart. He suddenly felt ufortable, and he did not know why.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    He did not love Ste. He came to her with a purpose, the very first day they met.


    He wanted to get close to Wilson Chuck.


    What he did not expect was that Wilson Chuck did not regard Ste as his daughter at all.


    Federick regretted immediately, he no longer wanted to marry her, so he arranged for the kidnapping.


    She escaped from the kidnapping and was raped instead. He was very angry.


    She insisted on marrying him.


    So he married her to torture her.


    But now she wanted a divorce, he felt something in his heart that he didn’t want to. He did not understand it.


    He felt confused that he felt a twinge of sadness. “Let’s live separately for a month then. If I’m certain then that I don’t want you anymore, I’ll divorce you. You had better not cheat on me this month.”


    Tears of joy rolled down Ste’s face. She had seen the dawn of hope.


    She picked up her bag and left quickly, almost as if she was escaping from danger.


    Felicia smiled vindictively.


    Ste was a sensible woman, she thought to herself.


    “Federick.” Felicia’s naughty hands caressed his legs. “She’s gone, let’s continue.”


    Federick was uninterested at all. “Felicia, please leave.”


    “Fine, I will go then. If I didn’t already know you, I would say that you seem in love with Ste.” Felicia said deliberately.


    Federick’s eyes shed with sharpness, and he pressed her against the table. “If you speak nonsense again, I will kill you. How could I ever fall in love with her?”


    Felicia hugged him and smiled yfully. “Oh, I wish you would kill me.”


    Federick moved straight for the kill, he went inside her, not bothering with any forey.


    He felt that he was particrly agitated, and his heartfelt heavy. He wanted to forget it, so he focused all his strength on Felicia’s body…


    Ste called Eli.


    Eli went on a half-day leave to wee Ste at her home. She asked worriedly, “Ste, what did that bastard Federick do to you?”


    “He has promised that we can live separately. He will let us get a divorce in a month’s time,” Ste said with a smile.


    “He has finally made the right decision. You can stay here so that he won’t harass you again. Anyway, I can’t live alone. It’s more exciting for you to be here.” Eli Wayne opened the door.


    “Well, thank you, Eli.”


    Eli Wayne put her arm around Ste’s shoulder and said, “What are you talking about? Don’t be silly. Let’s go in and sort out your room.”


    Ste tried to dry Jasper’s book on the balcony under the sun.


    Eli Wayne leaned against the door frame and stirring her coffee. “After you and Federick are done, you can start a rtionship with Jasper. I think he is a good guy.”


    “He is too good though, isn’t he?” Ste turned around and asked rationally, “How will I match up to him?”


    “Shouldn’t a girl find a guy with better qualities than she has? It doesn’t matter whether you can match up to him. The most important thing is to first capture his heart!” Eli Wayne took a big sip of coffee. She was going to workte today.


    Ste merely smiled, she did not answer Eli’s question.


    Her cell phone rang.


    She looked at it, it was Jasper. She hesitated. It was better for her to make things clear.


    She didn’t want to be in love now. She had been wounded and scarred. She needed time to calm down.


    Ste answered the phone.


    “Are you all right? I heard that you have taken five days off work. I’ll arrange for your mother to be released. Later, I’ll have the tickets to Provence delivered to you. Someone will take care of you when you arrive there,” Jasper said softly.


    When she heard his voice, she felt his overwhelming care for her. Her heartfelt sour and bitter at the same time, and was unwilling to reject his offer.


    However, the better people treated her, the more she wanted to distance herself from them.


    The fewer she owed, the better.


    “No, I don’t want to go. My mother is ill now and she should not travel. I want to invite you to dinner. Do you have time?” Ste looked down and said.


    “Well, okay, I’ll pick you up.”


    “I’ll see you at the gate where Starbucks is, at Water Moon International in an hour. I’ll hang up now.” Ste hurriedly hung up the phone.


    Eli Wayne smiled ambiguously and said, “That military officer can be tamed. Not bad, you should just sleep with himter.”


    “I want to exin everything to him clearly,” Ste said lightly.


    “What do you want to say? Don’t reject him though.” Eli Wayne was anxious.


    “I have a history of divorce, I was raped before, and also my mom is mentally ill. Do you think his family will ept me?” Ste retorted.


    “It’s good to find true love. Why do you feel so insecure? How many more women are more beautiful than you are? You have been deceived by Federick for too long.” Eli Wayne didn’t want her to give up.


    “Federick said that if nothing happens during the time we are apart, I will be free in a month. I don’t want to trigger his possessiveness. I just want a quiet life. Jasper is a man I can’t mess around with.” Ste had already decided.


    “Well, you have not gotten your divorce, and I don’t want to invite you. But Ste, you should think more about yourself, instead of always thinking for others, you lose too much.” Eli Wayne said with pity.


    “At least I have a clear conscience.” Ste entered the room and took out her bank card. She first went to the bank and withdrew all the money.


    When she arrived at the entrance of Starbucks, Jasper was already inside, sitting near the window.


    The glow of the setting sun fell on his clear face. His mind seemed to be a little heavy. He lowered his eyes and stirring his coffee. He did not drink but looked up instead.


    He saw her, then he put down 100 dors on the table, got up, and walked towards her.


    “Are you alright?”


    “Are you alright?”


    They said those words together, almost in unison.


    Steughed.


    Even if he was not alright, what could she do to help him? It would be good enough if she were to not burden him further.


    “There are many restaurants on the fourth floor. What do you want to eat?” Ste asked.


    “All right,” Jasper said in a low voice, he handed her a bottle of ointment. “It’s made by my friend. Apply it to your wounds so that it won’t leave any scarring.”


    Ste’s eyes deepened. She did not refuse the bottle.


    After a while, they arrived on the fourth floor. Ste walked into an upscale western restaurant.


    Jasper sat opposite Ste. “If you are worried about your mother’s condition, I can let the medical staff apany her.”


    “Chief,” Ste eximed.


    She could not handle any more of his kindness.


    Her remark made his eyes dim.


    “Initially, I wanted to be your friend. But after all, people of your status are impossible to impress. I then thought to myself, who am I to be your friend?”


    Jasper’s face turned cold and he narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean by this?”


    Ste lowered her head.


    Cruel words, no matter how they are said, will always be cruel words.


    Wasn’t it?


    “I just want to live a quiet and ordinary life,” Ste said quietly.


    “What have I done to make you feel uneasy? Ste, are you in love with me?” Jasper asked. His chin was tight and his chest heaved.
