“I love you no matter what. As long as you’re with me, everything will be alright. Even if you don’t love me, I will stay with you till the end of the world. If I have the person whom I love the most by my side, I will then die with no regrets,” Frederick Addington dered.
“Let’s fight against Wilson. Do what you must,” Ste Grace said softly. Without another word, she bowed her head and continued to eat.
The waiter came over with the bill. Ste took out her wallet from her bag.
“Ah Madam, someone has already paid for your table,” the waiter said with a smile.
Ste looked at Frederick.
“It’s not me,” Frederick said.
Ste’s eyes sank as she turned towards the door.
If it was not Frederick, then it must be Jasper Milton.
She was already having dinner with Frederick. Why did Jasper pay the bill for them?
She was like the old Ste,pletely at a loss whenever it came to Jasper.
“Who paid the bill?” Frederick asked.
Ste shook her head. “I don’t know. Forget it, let’s go.”
She got up and walked out the door.
A gust of wind blew past her, and it was a little chilly. She wrapped her arms around her chest.
Frederick took his coat off and wrapped it around her.
It smelled of his cologne, fresh and cool.
She enjoyed it as much as the old Ste.
Frederick crossed the street.
Ste turned around and saw Jasper.
He stood by the window of the private room and looked at her meaningfully. When their eyes met, she quickly turned away and clenched her fists.
Frederick moved ahead to open the taxi door, and both of them got into the taxi.
Frederick sat next to her.
Ste handed him his coat and turned to the driver. “Sir, please go to the Yale City International Hotel.”
Frederick got straight to the point. “Ste, I want to spend the night with you. Could I?”
Ste refused.“My rtives are here. Not today.”
Frederick gave her a devious smile. “I’m not in a rush anyway. I’ve been waiting for three years, what’s another week?”
Ste lowered her head. “I’m used to sleeping alone.”
Frederick silently turned away with a frown, his eyes sullen.
The car was so quiet,
they could hear each other breathing.
Frederick’s chest rose and fell unsteadily. He turned around to face Ste.
She was leaning against her seat, taking a nap.
Frederick stared at her keenly. “What if I insist on staying in the same room as you do?”
Ste looked at him. “Okay,” she said thinly.
He was not expecting that.
Frederick couldn’t understand her. “Are you agreeing?”
“Yes,” Ste said gently and leaned her head on Frederick’s shoulder.
Frederick’s heart fluttered. He put his arm around her.
She closed her eyes. Her long eyshes brushed against each other, melting his heart.
Frederick leaned down and kissed her forehead.
She did not respond, as if she had fallen asleep.
Frederick kissed her eyes, nose, and lips.
She didn’t move at all.
“Ste.” Frederick’s voice was a little husky. “Let’s get married early, okay?”
Ste didn’t say a word.
Frederick thought Ste was acting strangely. He started to panic. “Ste? Ste?! Wake up, Ste!”
Ste stirred but did not open her eyes. “You’re so noisy. I just fell asleep.”
Frederick breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “Sleepyhead. It’s only been a few minutes.”
“Mm…” Ste hummed but did not bother to respond, she continued to sleep.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
When the car stopped at the International Hotel, Ste opened her eyes.
Frederick handed a 100 dor bill to the driver.
Ste opened the door and got out of the car.
Frederick picked up his coat, caught up with Ste, and put it on her. “It’s quite chilly, don’t catch a cold.”
“Okay,” Ste replied as she walked to the hotel.
Frederick did not check into another room. He followed Ste to the 21st floor.
“Are you sleeping outside or inside?” Ste asked.
“Outside…?” Frederick replied, puzzled.
He had been with countless women, but Ste was the only one who gave him butterflies in his stomach.
Only when Ste opened the door did he realize what she meant.
“You’ve booked a presidential suite?” Frederick couldn’t hide the disappointment in his tone.
“The service is better, and the room is well-maintained. I’m still very sleepy. I’ll take a shower first. Good night.” Ste went into the inner room and locked the door, cutting him off.
Frederick still had something to say, but he could see that Ste was very tired. Thus he didn’t stop her. He walked into the bathroom outside.
When he didn’t knock on her door, Ste went into her bathroom and silently stared at herself in the mirror. Suddenly her phone rang, making her jump.
She calmed down and picked it up. Frederick’s caller ID shed on the screen. “What’s wrong?”
“I just wanted to hear your voice,” Frederick said softly.
“Then record my voice now. Don’t call me when I’m sleeping, I’ll get moody if I was rudely awakened. I’ll get a headache too,” Ste said disinterestedly.
“In that case, say something nice. I’ll record it.” Frederick pressed the recording button.
Ste paused for a moment. “Why did they call you Commander?”
“The president conferred the title on me. The ce you went tost time was one of my bases. My main job was to monitor the officials,” Frederick exined.
“You work for the President?” Ste asked doubtfully.
“Strictly speaking, yes.”
“What if he gets voted out?” Ste asked.
“That won’t happen. Jasper is no longer running. And when I blow the lid on Katty, Zoah will be disqualified.”
Ste was puzzled.“But Zoah is your uncle.”
“Ste, I’m putting myself at your mercy by telling you this. I want to trust you. I’m not Nina’s biological son. Her biological son is dead, I’m adopted,” Frederick said with a smile.
Ste frowned. “In that case, how did you know that Wilson killed your father?”
“I saw it with my own eyes. I hid in the cab and watched it happen. I’m sure of it,” Frederick said firmly, a murderous look in his eyes…
