“Uh, let’s talk about thister,” Ste Grace said softly.


    “Where are you now?” Bemy Chuck raised his voice a little. She could feel his anger through the phone.


    “Well, I’m off to dinner.”


    “I’m so angry that I couldn’t even eat. Meanwhile, you’re off to dinner?” Bemy sounded even angrier.


    She did not have his phone number. That was why she did not call him in the first ce. Everything happened so quickly,and there had barely been any room for her to breathe. She kept quiet as she knew it was her faultto begin with.


    “Send me your location,” Bemy ordered. He added again with emphasis after that, ”Send it, or else, I’ll make sure to teach you a lesson.”


    He then hung up his phone.


    Ste paused.


    The old Jasper Milton would never have spoken like this. Back then, when he encountered such a situation, he would say, “Where are you now? You are not allowed to go, Ste.Try if you dare,”


    He would then keep quiet afterward.“I’m so angry that I can’t even eat. Meanwhile, you’re off to dinner?” Words like these would nevere out of his mouth.


    He had always been a calm person. He was a man of few words. Simple, and straightforward.


    He really was getting into the disguise of his new identity.


    Ste was stunned for a while.


    “Who called you?” Frederick Addington suddenly asked.


    “Just a friend of mine.”


    “You have only one friend, and that’s Eli,” Frederick said with a smirk on.


    The way he said it made her felt uneasy. She looked at Frederick and said, “It depends on your definition of a friend. Sometimes, the people you have only met once could also be a friend.”


    “Hm, ”Frederick did not continue with the topic. He seemed to be letting her off easy. He proceeded to park his car outside the Rollicious Restaurant.


    Looking at how easy-going he was, Ste felt herself a little tart and mean.


    People would change from time to time,or perhaps, it was spiritual growth.


    “I’m sorry,” Ste said.She pushed the car door,got off the car, and walked to the restaurant.


    Frederick followed her behind.


    Sometimes, he was confused.


    Was he really in love with Ste? Or was he attracted to her because she was someone he could never have?


    He had a lot of girlfriends when Ste allegedly died for two years.


    He was looking for Ste’s shadow in every girlfriend.However, none of them even came close.


    It was rare for a woman to apologize after having realized their wrongdoings in a midst of a fight.


    Ste, however, could do that.


    She was always so self-aware,refusing to be a burden to others, and doing as much as she could. Never did she ever ask for anything in return.


    The more he thought about it, the more reluctant he was to let her go.


    He was so dumb to lose that one important thing in his life. His world had been colorless ever since.


    Now that Jasper was dead, would he stand a chance if he worked hard enough?


    Ste sat downand took over the menu handed over by the waiter. She ordered a simple meal.


    She ordered a te of pan-seared salmon served on top of a bed of cord greens and aglio olio pasta.


    Frederick’s eyes felt moist after he heard what Ste had ordered. He pulled out his chair and sat down. His hand shook, even as he held a cup of water.


    The two dishes that he liked the most were pan-seared salmon and aglio olio pasta.


    Not even his mother remembered his favorite food. Ste remembered them all.


    All his time was wasted on those empty women. There was once a woman who loved him for who he was, yet he neglected her.


    It was Ste who took care of him when he caught a cold. It was also Ste who stayed by his side even when he verbally abused her.


    He felt regretful. If time could rewind, he would be sure to cherish her.


    He was too naive, egotistical, and impetuous. He was young and dumb. It was toote to regret everything he had done now.


    “Would you like to have some red wine?” Ste asked softly.


    Frederick looked into her shining eyes, his Adam’s apple rolled and his throat felt bitter, ”I can’t drink. Don’t you remember that I’m driving?” Frederick replied softly.


    “I’ll wash my hands then,” Ste stood up and held her cell phone.


    She had to exin to Bemy so that he would not be anxious.


    She knew Jasper too well.


    She walked into the bathroom, made sure that there was no one around, and called Jasper.


    The call was picked up immediately.


    “Where’s the location? Have you lost both your hands and brain? Why are you still with Frederick? Are you trying to make me mad?Are you trying to anger me to death? If so, I’ll make sure you die with me,” Bemy said angrily.


    “Well, actually…”


    “I don’t want to hear it,” Bemy interrupted.


    Ste stayed quiet when someone came into the bathroom.


    Bemy did not hang up the phone either.When he noticed that Ste was still keeping quiet, he then urged, “Actually what?”


    Ste smirked. She walked up the stairs, went to the private room on the second floor, closed the door, and lowered her voice, “Something unexpected has happened. I sent someone over to Nina’s house to get something. However, Nina was found dead just when my men got into her house. My men were suspected and now they have been locked up.”


    “Hence, he asked you to go with him. Then, he’ll let your men go,” Bemy continued.


    “Frederick promised not to touch me. He’ll let go of me after a month,” Ste continued to exin.


    “Not touching you and letting you go? Are you dumb? What will he benefit from this? Letting go of your men would cost him his rtionship with Christian.”


    Ste did not like the way he was talking to her, ”I think that he’s trying to help me.”


    ”If he’s helping you, he wouldn’t have threatened you in the first ce!”


    “That’s because he owed Christian an exnation.”


    “Ste, you’re speaking up for him right now,” Bemy said darkly.


    Ste knew how much he hated Frederick. Things that had happened in the past were like a poisonous snake to both of them.


    She was threatened too back then. She was asked to stay with Frederick in exchange for Jasper’s freedom.


    She knew very well the reason for Jasper’s anger.


    “Calm down, listen to what I have to say.”


    “I can’t possibly calm down now, could I? And I want to see you now. Send me your location,” Bemy ordered.N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.


    “Listen to me, I’m not speaking up for anyone, I’m speaking up for myself. It was an extremely dangerous situation. They were ndering my men and I couldn’t just watch them do that. Those men had trusted and helped me.


    I’m safe with Frederick, I swear.


    However, Christian seems to be suspicious of Frederick. I am afraid that someone is following him. You’ll get exposed if youe here, and things will not end well. Just wait a little more.


    As for the rest, we’ll talk about it once we meet,” Ste said seriously.


    “I’ll say it onest time. Send me your location,” Bemy’s voice turned even hoarser.


    Ste was at a loss for words.


    She felt extremely helpless. Fine. Jasper definitely knew what he was doing.


    “Which number are you using now?” Ste asked.


    “This one. I’ll give you one minute,” Bemy immediately hung up the phone.
