Half an hourter, Ste Grace and Jasper Milton both fell asleep without taking a shower.


    They could easily fall asleep after exercising…


    Early in the morning, Ste heard birds chirping. When she opened her eyes, it was already bright.


    She turned around and found that Jasper had left.


    She reached for her phone on the bedside table and took a look at it. It was 5:30 a. m.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Jasper got up so early.


    She saw her suitcase next to the tea table.


    She didn’t even know when the suitcase was put in the room.


    She got out of bed and opened the suitcase. Everything was there.


    She changed her clothes and walked into the bathroom.


    There was a new set of LANMER cosmetics set near his sink.


    She remembered that the first set of cosmetics he gave her a long time ago were from this brand too. Perhaps he loved the brand.


    Ste smiled. When she finished washing up and was ready to wash her clothes, she couldn’t find the clothes she wore yesterday.


    She went out of the door.


    “Morning,” a soldier greeted respectfully.


    Ste was embarrassed to ask her about her clothes.


    “Where is Jasper?” Ste asked.


    “Chief should be at the field now, and he’ll be back by six o’clock. If Madam is hungry, you can have breakfast first,” the soldier said with a smile.


    Madam?


    It sounded weird initially but it was so pleasant to hear it now.“I’ll go and look for him.”


    As soon as Ste stepped out of the door, she saw Jasper.He was with Lieutenant Shine and another two Colonels


    The Lieutenant was reporting something and Jasper listened with his poker face while nodding from time to time.


    She decided not to disturb him at work soshe turned around and went back into the room.


    Jasper had already seen her, but he did not stop her. He said to Lieutenant Shine, “Cancel the meeting at 8 :00 a. m. And, find a good wedding nnerpany to arrange for a ceremony. I’m getting married.”


    Lieutenant Shine was very surprised.“Ah? Chief is getting married?”


    “Idiot, the Chief is already 32 years old. Can’t he get married already?” the Colonel reprimanded.


    “Yes, yes, yes, I’ll arrange it,” Lieutenant Shine nodded.


    “Dismissed,” Jasper ordered and walked into the house.


    Ste was not in the living room.


    “Where’s Madam?” Jasper asked the soldier at the door.


    “She just went back to the room,” thesoldier reported.


    “Okay. Prepare some breakfast for us,” Jasper said as he pushed the door open and went in.


    Ste was sitting on the sofa and browsing through her phone. When she saw him, she stood up and said, “Are you done with your work?”


    “Yes.” Jasper put her arms around her waist. “You don’t have to hide in the future.”


    Ste smiled.“It’s better for me to stay away from military affairs. You might be discussing something confidential. And if something goes wrong, I’d be a suspect. Ignorance is bliss.It’s safer not to know anything about the military.”


    “Well,that makes sense. There’s a document for you.Your research center has already approved it,” Jasper said in a deep voice.


    Ste was confused.“What was it for? What did they approve?”


    “Zion Chyl and Zackery Chyl’s case taught me that there’s a need to build the soldiers’ emotional intelligence. You are an expert in this field so you’re hired to be here for three months. There’s a meetingter in the afternoon. We will discuss the n in detail then.”


    “How did I not know about this?”


    “It was supposed to be posted to you. If you were at the research center this morning, you should be able to get it from Greg Miles.”


    Ste :, “…”


    Why did she feel like he went behind her back?


    “Is this employment still valid if I don’t ept your marriage proposal?” Ste asked.


    “Regardless of that, it will still be valid,” Jasper insisted.


    Ste looked him in the eye. “Did you go after Bettany or did she pursue you back then? You look like a dictator.”


    “You are the only girl I have ever gone after,” Jasper exined.


    Ste smiled.


    She was satisfied with his answer.


    Jasper smiled too. “Ste, there’s one thing I need to tell you in advance. Under the military marriage regtions, any divorce filed by the non-military spouse, which is you, would need approval from the soldier himself–me, unless I made a serious mistake.”


    “Okay.” She knew it. She had already thought about it yesterday.


    “We’re doing this without my parents’ consent. But, if my parents make things difficult for you, you can just ignore them. You are spending the rest of your life with me, not them. And I don’t see them that often, probably less than once a month. So, just rx. You don’t have to be stressed about it.”


    Ste nodded.


    He had always acted like a dictator.


    Ste was no longer the person she used to be. She was more rationnd cold-blooded.


    “And onest thing, the wedding dinner. Do you want to hold a big banquet or just a family gathering?” Jasper asked.


    Jasper asked her because he respected her opinions. But, he was the Chief. It wouldn’t make sense for his wedding to be low-profile. “I’m okay with anything.”


    Jasper smiled.“Let’s have breakfast first. We’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau after that.”


    On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau.


    Ste Grace looked out of the window and felt a little uneasy, as if everything was a dream.


    She was about to be Jasper Milton’s wife.


    A lot of things were going on in her head.


    She thought of their child.


    If she told Jasper, would he be able to find him?


    Or was he already dead and would it just be a waste of effort to look for him?


    If she told Jasper about the child,she would have to mention the rape case six years ago.


    She was in a dilemma.


    Jasper’s cell phone rang. Ste gathered her thoughts and looked at him.


    Jasper frowned when he saw the caller’s name. “Mom?”


    Suzi Shine was shocked. “I heard that you’re getting married. Who are you going to marry?”


    “Wow, you’re well-informed. I’m marrying Ste Grace. You should know who she is,” Jasper said in a deep voice. He looked ahead, poker face in ce, cold and ruthless.


    Suzi couldn’t believe what she had just heard.“How could you marry her? How long have you known each other?”


    “We have known each other for a long time. You should know that very well,” Jasper said firmly,his eyes full of sarcasm.


    “Did Ste tell you?” Suzi started panicking.


    “I’ve just regained some memories. Ste didn’t say anything. Well, I’m busy now. I’ll contact you again. I’ll definitely bring her home soon.”


    Suzi stood her ground.“We won’t ept it.”


    “It’s up to you whether you are going to ept it. I’m just informing you.” Jasper hung up before Suzi could reply.


    Ste’s phone rang.


    It was Suzi.She answered it.


    “Ste, what the hell are you doing? You promised to leave Jasper, didn’t you?” Suzi screeched.


    “Sorry, I regret that promise.”


    Suzi :”……”
