The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Because of his betrayal, many of her ns will now fail to materialize. She tried to calm down by covering her head and closing her eyes.


    After a while, she opened her eyes and stared at Jasper’s picture on the table.


    She should be calm. Rashness and irritability couldn’t solve anything.


    Ste looked at the monitor and saw that Lte had already moved the bed into the library. She even set up a bedstead and a bed canopy for her.


    Ste got up and walked into the library with herptop.


    “Madam, please call me if there’s anything else you need,” Lte said.


    Ste nodded. She put herptop on the desk, yed some rxing music, and flipped through a psychology book.


    She felt much calmer after 10 minutes. She then continued to prepare the questions for the psychology test.


    Before she knew it, it was already midnight. Ste went behind the bookshelf and stared at the secret entrance on the ceiling. Was Jaspering today?


    She lowered her eyes and turned around. Suddenly, she could hear rustling soundsing from the ceiling. Ste raised her head and looked up.


    ”Hi,” Jasper greeted her. He jumped down and said, ”You must have waited a long time.”


    “I thought that you were noting,” Ste hugged him.


    “Silly girl, unless there are special circumstances, there’s no way I would note.I wouldn’t want you to get worried.Just call me if you’re worried,” Bemy rubbed her shoulders and said.


    ”After what had happened to Asher, I fear that my signal is being monitored. I don’t think that it’s a good idea to contact you.”


    Bemy smirked while looking at her with his eyes drooped. ”I have a thoughtful wife.”


    ”And I have a hardworking husband,” Ste said softly.


    ”I’ll get you another mobile phone tomorrow. The number is virtual, and I’ll receive its signal through a foreign server. No one will be able to track your signal anymore.”


    ”Do I still call your current number?” Ste asked.


    ”I’ll change mine to a virtual signal too. I’ll get myself a new number tomorrow, and we’ll be able to contact each other without worry then,” Bemy smiled and said.


    Ste sighed. “I could no longer enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cab. Sean refused to let me in.”


    ”I’ll apany you every day except during special asions. Don’t worry about it. I’m a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.The Cab, however, you’ll need Yvonne’s permission to enter as she’s the boss there. Once she has agreed to let you in, even Sean wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.”


    ”Yvonne might listen to Sean as he has a dominant personality. Let’s not rush. We still have other things to do. Anyway, are you hungry? I’ve cooked some fish. Lte has prepared an induction cooker for us. Let’s eat,” Ste held his hand and walked towards the table.


    “Does Lte know about my existence?” Bemy asked suspiciously.


    ”She saw you when you left yesterday. I couldn’t hide it anymore.”


    “Well, with her as a cover, we’ll be safer,” Bemy did not me her.


    Bemy stared at Ste while she was heating the food, ”Ste, how much longer till your third month of pregnancy?”


    Ste blushed, “About half a month left. We could do it if you…”


    Bemy kissed her lips before she could finish her sentence.


    Ste closed her eyes and responded gently.


    He looked at her as he held the back of her head, ”What should I do?”


    “What?” Ste was puzzled.


    “The more fantastic you are, the more I don’t want to hurt you.”


    Ste burst intoughter, “How could you ever hurt me?”


    Bemy smirked, ”Yeah, I’ll never hurt you, not even the slightest bit. Let’s eat the grilled fish that you had made.”


    After they ate, they bothy in bed together.


    Bemy was frowning the whole time, and he seemed as though he had something on his mind.


    “What’s wrong? Do you have something on your mind?” Ste tilted her head and asked.


    ”A friend of mine was taking care of his friend’s wife while his friend went somewhere else. He was distressed as he eventually fell in love with his friend’s wife. He asked me for advice on what to do. Ste, you took psychology, right? What do you think he should do?” Bemy asked seriously.


    “Does the wife love your friend?” Ste asked.


    “She probably loves her husband. However, her husband is dead, but my friend has no courage to tell her the truth.He’s afraid that she’ll get upset if she knows about it. Hence, all he could do now is apany her,” Bemy said sadly.


    Ste felt uneasy after hearing what he had said, ”Who’s that friend of yours?”


    “Simon Davis, you know him too,” Bemy said.


    “Oh, him.” Ste lowered her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, “The wife deserves to know the truth even if her husband is truly dead.”


    ”The wife willmit suicide if she knows the truth. Perhaps time could wash away her pain. Only then will it be the right time for her to know.”


    “If you were to die, I would rather follow after you than to live miserably for the rest of my life,” Ste said softly.


    Bemy’s lips twitched, and his eyes darkened, “You should sleep. You must have waited for me for too long.”


    “Okay,” Ste was indeed a little tired. There were still a few battles awaiting her tomorrow. She needed enough rest to face them. Ste found afortable position in his arms and fell asleep.


    Bemy stared at her face deeply.


    Bemy had already left when she woke up.


    Ste looked at the time on her mobile phone. It was already 10. 20 a. m. There were a few missed calls, which included Allen’s, Anthony’s, Sean’s, and even… Christian’s.


    How surprising it was for Christian to call her.Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    She had so many missed calls.It must have been Jasper who had muted her mobile phone.


    Ste called Anthony as she walked out of the library.


    “Madam, we’ve already acted ording to the n. They’re inside our military base now. Should we continue with the next step?” Anthony asked.


    “Follow the usual procedure and ensure the safety of our people. Also, send all the relevant photos to me. I’ll handle the rest.”


    “Alright.”


    After Ste hung up the phone, she called Allen again and said, “Sorry, I just woke up and my phone was muted.”


    “It’s alright. You’re pregnant now, so you should rest more. Were there any actions taken by your men yesterday? All my factories were burnt down. Luckily, no one was hurt.”


    ”I would never drag innocent people into this matter. By the way, I’m counting on you to handle the international side of things.”


    ”I know what to do. I’m at the airport right now. The ne is taking off in 45 minutes,” Allen said softly.


    “I owe you a lot. I promise to pay you back,” Ste thanked him.


    Allen smiled and said, ”Have you forgotten? Everything I have done for you is of my own free will. There’s no need for you to repay me. Back then, when you saved me, you did not ask for anything in return, did you?”


    Ste lowered her eyes and said, “Thanks a lot. Once we’re done with everything, all your losses are on me. It’s my token of appreciation for you. Take it, or else I’ll feel guilty.”


    Allen chuckled, “Okay.”
