Ste guessed that he was talking to his father. If she were his parents, she would certainly not allow him to let go of everything he had built so far. Leaving behind all the fame and sess to move to another country, especially with the possibility thathe might nevere back in the future.


    While Ste was in a daze, Jasper Milton walked up to her.


    She looked up at him.


    She did not want to drag him down, but as things progressed, in a fleeting moment it was already toote. She had already burdened him, “I’m sorry.”


    “There’s nothing to be sorry about. Everyone has their own ambition. I won’t force others, nor do I want others to force me. I know what I should do to live a happy life,” Jasper said with a smile.


    “Still, you owe your father a lot. Every parent hopes their child would be sessful. We are parents now, so we should try to understand how your father feels. You should talk to him nicely even if he is forcing you. Perhaps, it’s better if you can try to persuade him calmly,” Ste said gently.


    “I remember you once said that if you love someone, you don’t have to think about what to do to love him. Instead, you should think about what he wants you to do. That’s love, right?” Jasper asked softly.


    Ste’s eyes brimmed red, “You love me more than I do. So, I have to love you more in the future.”


    Jasper smiled and scratched Ste’s head, “Is the food ready? I’m going out to hunt after lunch.”


    “Ah, right, I meant to ask you this. What are you going to use to hunt? A pistol?” Ste asked.


    “I have a crossbow in my room. It’s a modern one. I’ll show it to youter. I’ll teach you how to use it when I’m free,” Jasper said softly.


    “Great. I want to learn,” Ste said with a smile.


    Jasper took her hand and went downstairs to eat. After eating, she saw his crossbow,and it was different from what she imagined. Initially, she thought it was a bow and arrow. It turned out that it was not. It could be shot out by squeezing the trigger with one hand. She had seen something simr once in some science fiction movie. “So, is this it?”


    “This crossbow is very small and it’s easy to carry around. Its range and strength are three times of a regr bow. It alsoes with a stronger arrow that could prate the head of a wild boar while you are standing 10 meters away. The tail of the arrow contains a drug, which could make the prey unconscious. Basically, it could defeat the enemy with one blow,” Jasper exined to Ste.


    He also wanted Ste to be at ease.


    “That sounds good. You should go quickly ande back early then. It’s already past 12 o’clock. No matter if you’ve hunted any prey or not, you muste back before 3. 30 in the afternoon. Otherwise, I will worry about you. Also, you have a torchlight here, right? Take it with you, just in case. If you don’te back by10 o’clock tonight, I’ll go looking for you. Got it?” Ste said.


    Jasper chuckled and touched her face, “Yes, Chief.”


    “Come back early,” Ste said reluctantly.


    “Don’t go out. Wait for my return,” Jasper also said.


    “By the way, take an umbre with you. The climate on the ind is unpredictable. Although it’s sunny now, it might rain in the afternoon,” Ste reminded.


    “I’ve brought a raincoat. Don’t worry,” Jasper said softly.


    Ste took a look at the backpack that he had prepared, which appeared bulgy.


    “Okay, be careful on the way,” She stood on the second floor and saw him off.


    When Jasper left, he closed the door for her and soon disappeared from her sight.


    As soon as he left, the room was cheerless and empty in an instant. She didn’t want to miss him too much, so she began to clean up every room.


    After she cleaned up all the rooms, she took a look at the time and found it was already four o’clock.


    She took the quilt andforter in and spread it out on the bed.


    His clothes were hung in the wardrobe. Perhaps Jasper had just brought them over not long ago, so the clothes were not moldy.


    The weather at the beach was very humid, hence their things should always be basking in the sun. Simrly, men would easily be depressed if they weren’t exposed enough to the sun.


    After she was done, she stood on the balcony and looked into the distance. She checked her mobile phone from time to time. The anxiety from having to wait was annoying her.


    At 5:36 p. m., she heard a knock on the door. She was worried that it was a beast, so she asked warily, “Who is it?”


    “It’s me,” Jasper’s voice rang.


    Ste raised a bright smile and said, “I’ming.”


    She came down the stairs cheerfully and opened the door.


    Jasper seemed to have caught a lot of prey as he brought in two sacks. One of the sacks seemed to have something moving in it, “What is it?”


    “Let’s go to the woodshed now. Take out the mat and form a circle,” Jasper said.


    She saw the mat when she cleaned up today, and she had kept it in the cupboard.


    She took it overimmediatelyand formed a circle.


    “ce the joint at the corner,” Jasper said.


    “Okay,” Ste adjusted the position and piled up a lot of wood outside the joint to ensure that the circle would not copse easily.


    Jasper poured the moving sack into the circle. There were two rabbits, followed by one, two, three, four… and a total of eight bunnies.


    Ste was surprised and she looked at Jasper, “Why are there so many rabbits? They’re still alive. How did you catch them?”N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    “I followed the rabbit to its warren and caught all of them,” Jasper exined.


    “Hi bunny, it’s so cute,” She didn’t want to eat it.


    However, thew of survivalin this worldwas that the strong preyed on the weak. Perhaps only the youngdies who lived a rich life deserved to pity those animals.


    Jasper poured out the thing from another sack.


    Ste saw that there were three chickens. She did not know whether they were dead or in aa. There were also many ferns and some vegetables that she could not name. She asked, “You even picked vegetables?”


    “I picked them on the way. There are a lot of mushrooms,so you could put them in the chicken soup,” Jasper said and picked up the chicken. “Please boil more hot waterter. I have to kill these chickens.”


    “We have so much food now. You wouldn’t have to go hunting tomorrow,” Ste said with a grin. She wanted to stay with him.


    Jasper smiled, “Do you know how to take a bath in this ce?”


    “How?” Ste asked.


    Jasper took her to a small room inside.


    There was also a stove over there. Unlike a cooking stove, there was a huge tub on it.


    “This is for showers. When I was a doctor, I went to the mountain area to provide medical services. I took a bath in the house of the residents by using this. The water was filled into the tub andpeople can sit inside there to take a bathwhen the water was heated up,” Ste said.


    “So you do know,” Jasper smiled and looked at her keenly, “Let’s take a bath together tonight. It won’t be cold to take a bath here.”


    Take a bath together?


    Ste’s face turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment. Her eyes were flickering and she said, “I’m going to make dinner now. There are some leftovers from lunch and we can eat it after heating it.”


    Jasper reached out to hold the back of her head and kissed her lips…
