Ste Grace was stunned. She remembered that he had the God’s Eyes, so it was easy for him to find her.
Was he here to take her back?
Jasper Milton came out of the elevator and handed her the bag in his hand. “Your stuff is in it. I packed them all in here. Your dog is inside too. The hotel does not allow pets. You’d better not let anyone discover it.”
Ste’s heart sank. It turned out that he was here to return her things. “Well, I don’t have the time to take care of him. Please take care of him for a while.”
Jasper fixed his eyes on her. He smirked and asked meaningfully, “Are you busy?”
“Yes,” Ste responded.
Jasper opened the bag and picked up the dog.
It started barking at Ste.
Ste touched the dog’s head.
The little dog was sofortable that it started whining and licking Ste’s hands.
Ste smiled happily. Jasper looked at her, and his eyes softened a little. However, he had already made up his mind. He turned around and pressed the button of the elevator.
Ste looked at his reflection on the elevator.
Both their eyes were on the elevator.
Ste lowered her eyes, turned around, and walked back to the room.
She took out her clothes and identification card from the bag. She sat on the bed and spaced out for a while. She suddenly remembered that she still had some matters to attend to, so she looked at her mobile phone. She realized that she still had not hung up the phone and the call was still connected.
She put the phone beside her ear and asked, “Allen, are you still there?”
“Yes,” Allen replied.
“I’m sorry. I ran into Jasper. I forgot about the call. Sorry, you are still at the airport, right? I’ll pick you up,” Ste then got up.
“It’s okay. We’re already in the car. We’ll arrive at your hotel soon,” Allen said softly.
He was a person with a high EQ, so he knew not to ask invasive questions that would make the situation awkward. Therefore, even though he knew that her rtionship with Jasper had turned sour, he would not take the initiative to mention it.
“Well, it will probably take you an hour to reach here. Let’s have lunch together. I’ll show you around,” Ste said with a smile.
“I’ve already booked the room. We’ll talk when we’re there,” Allen then hung up the phone.
The weather was getting colder and she didn’t have many clothes to wear. She was going to be mingling with noblemen and their wives in a bit.
She still had less than an hour before Allen arrived, so she went to the shopping mall next door. She bought three sets of clothes and a set of cosmetics. When she returned to the hotel, she received a phone call from Allen. She put on light makeup and went down to the lobby.
Allen had already gone through the check-in procedure.
There were six of them. She recognized Allen and his grandmother. There was an old man which she assumed was Mr. Turner. Next to them were two young girls. She was shocked when she realized that one of them looked exactly like her mother.
Ste resembled Celine Grace, so that girl also looked about 60% simr to her past self.
She remembered that Allen’s grandmother once told her that her grandmother only had one child. Was there some sort of mistake?
“Natalie,” Allen shouted.
Ste came to her senses and said, “Hello, my name is Natalie Wheeler. I’m Allen’s friend.”
The old man looked at Ste from head to toe. Ste allowed him to look at her. She knew that he was analyzing whether she looked like his missus or not.
Allen then said with a smile, “Let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Turner. This is Joanna, and she’s Joanna’s daughter. The one who looks a little like your mother is your grandmother’s sister’s daughter.”
No wonder. Ste understood. “Why don’t you put your luggage in the room? I’ll wait for you in the hall. We’ll go out for lunch togetherter.”
“Okay. Allen, you should chat with Natalie. We’lle down in a minute,” Allen’s grandmother said.
Allen stayed in the lobby with Ste.
Ste saw that they had six people, so they would not fit in an ordinary car. A 7-seater SUV would not be enough either. She then called Sean Yaleman. “Hey, I am now at the Intercontinental Hotel in A City. Could I borrow a car?”
Allen grabbed Ste’s phone with a smile and said, “Sorry, wrong number.”
“What’s wrong? I don’t have a car.I spent all my money on my yacht,” Ste exined.
“I have a car. It’s parked just outside. Did you forget? I told you before that I have investments here. Apany that I invested in sent me a car,” Allen exined.
“By the way, how much money did you pay for the mercenaries?” Ste asked.
“Not much. Don’t worry about it. For me, the amount is insignificant,” Allen said with a smile.
“How much was it?”
Allen held her shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her. “You saved me twice. I would have been dead if it wasn’t for you. Please don’t let me owe you, okay?”
“But you’ve also helped me a lot.”
Allen smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal for me honestly. Well, you can thank me, and I would only thank you back.Don’t forget that you have promised to cook for me personally. I have not forgotten about it.”N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
“Alright. There is one more thing. Is Mr. Turner ready for the paternity test?” Ste turned around and looked at him. She also took the opportunity to get out of the hug without making things awkward.
“Mr. Turner definitely wants to be sure of this matter. However, you told me that you have undergone stic surgery and bone marrow transnts. Could the paternity test still be done then?”
“Well, I’m ovting these days. As long as they can extract my ovum, the paternity test should not be of any issue,” Ste nodded. She also thought it would be better to confirm it.
“Will you be in danger?” Allen was worried.
Ste shook her head and said, “No.”
“So, shall I arrange it tomorrow?” Allen asked for her opinion.
Ste nodded and said, “Okay.”
With a ‘ding’, the elevator doors opened. Ste heard Allen’s grandmother talking to Mr. Turner in the local dialect happily, “She’s beautiful, right? I like this girl. Maybe she can marry into our family. Then, my wish could finally be fulfilled.”
“Yes, yes, you’re right,” Mr. Turner said, and he looked visibly pleased.
Ste nodded to them and said, “Let’s go.”
Allen drove a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. It was a 9-seater and it was spacious. A driver was assigned to drive them around town.
“Please bring us to the A City Grand hotel,” Ste said. She looked at Allen and asked, “The food in A city is rtively sweet. Is there anyone here who can’t eat sweet food?”
“We have no problem with it, but Mr. Turner has gout. We will order something simple for him,” Allen’s grandmother interrupted.
“Okay,” Ste replied.
“Are you Allen’s girlfriend? You’re so beautiful,” The girl who looked like her mother said.
“Linda,” Allen introduced her to Ste and nced at her. “Didn’t you always want to find a boyfriend from A Country? Now’s your time to shine.”
“You’re so annoying,” Linda stuck out her tongue, looking mischievous and cute at the same time.
