“Madam, we’ve been following her.I don’t know if she has noticed us, but she has shown no signs of anything suspicious. She’s currently shopping alone,”Lte Lanes reported.
“Didn’t she look for Bemy?” Ste Grace asked suspiciously.
“No, she didn’t,”Lte said.
“If she had noticed you guys, she would have gone to look for Bemy and put on another show,” Ste narrowed her eyes as she pondered.
“Could it be that someone had sent her?”Ltewas puzzled as well.
“Just keep an eye on her for the moment. Thank you for your hard work,” Ste said.
“What about your dinner? No one is making a meal for you, right? Madam Shine would only be home after dinner,”Ltesaid worriedly.
Ste smiled, “I can cook a meal myself. Don’t worry.”
“It seems that I came just at the right time,” Ste turned her head in surprise when she heard Bemy’s voice.
His hair and shoulder were wet. He was stained with water vapor, and his whole body was enveloped in the misty rain.
Ste hung up the phone, “Why did youe so early?”
“I missed you. I didn’t have anything to do tonight so Ithought ofing over earlier,” Bemy put his arms around her waist, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.
Ste was slightly stunned. She did not refuse, nor did she respond to the kiss. She just allowed him to kiss her.
He could feel that Ste was not responding, hence, he looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ste locked her eyes onto his face.
His face didn’t show any signs of stic surgery. If he wasn’t Jasper, who would he be then? There was no way there was anyone else in the world who looked this much like him.
“I was just thinking that it’s a little too early for you toe over.I haven’t started cooking yet,” Ste said.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
A smile appeared on Bemy’s face, “I like the dishes you make.”
“Why don’t you wait for me here then?” Ste asked.
Bemy nodded and replied, “You know that I like reading. What would you rmend?”
Steremembered the time he taught her Russian. It had been five and a half years since then, but she still remembered his charm and coldness.
She said in Russian, “Have you read ‘Sin and Punishment’? I think that it’s quite interesting. Do you want to have a look at it?”
Bemy was stunned for a moment. He chuckled and replied in Russian, “I’ve seen all these Russian novels.Why don’t you rmend me something special?”
“Do you want to read my book then?” Ste tilted her head and asked.
Bemy smiled. His eyes were filled with doting love, “Of course.”
Ste’s heart sank. He would not haveughed like this if he were Jasper. He would have just answered with a serious ‘yes’.
She shook her head. They had already been through this before. Hence, she shouldn’t let her imagination run wild just because of Tinley.
She should trust him.
“I don’t have my book here. I only have it on theputer. Just look through it briefly. It’s just a rough draft right now and it might be a little difficult to understand,” Ste turned on theputer, found her book, and opened the file.
Bemy sat down with his hand on the mouse.
She nced at him and turned to leave.
She didn’t eat much at noon. Although Lte didn’t make dinner,there were still leftovers.
She opened the refrigerator and saw that there were sausages, eggs, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
She could just warm the leftovers in the microwave. Hence, she just made a simple sandwich with the ingredients she found.
All of a sudden, her phone started ringing. It was from Suzi Shine.
“Mom,” Ste greeted.
“Ste, I’m going to M Country and I think that I’ll only be back after a week. Don’t wait for me,” Suzi said.
“What’s the matter? How serious is M Country’s situation?” Ste asked worriedly.
“No, our goods have been reced. I’m going over to deal with this matter now. I’m alsotaking some time to meet up with some friends there. I’m going to sell the two of thepanies under us in M Country,” Suzi exined.
“Okay, remember to call every day,” Ste said.
“Oh, okay,” Suzi smiled at Ste’s thoughtfulness and hung up the phone.
Ste brought the dishes to the library.
Bemy was reading her book carefully. The orange beam from themp shone on his body, forming a warm circle of light. She really didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere.
However, Bemy had already seen her. Hence, he came over, took the te from her hand, and said, “Why are you just standing there, silly?”
“You’re more handsome when you don’t speak,” Ste said.To her, he would seem more like the old Jasper when he was quiet. However, she knew better than to say this thought out loud.
Bemysuddenly put down the te and knocked her on the head. It was as if he was punishing her. It was a little painful.
Ste covered her head with her hand and looked at him with annoyance.
He squatted down in front of her and said, “I’ll let you hit me back.”
Ste was reluctant to hit Jasper. She stroked his head and looked at him tenderly.
Bemygot up, took her hand, and said, “Let’s have dinner together.It might upset your stomach if the food has gone cold.”
“There are a few dishes left. I’ll bring them over first,” Ste said softly.
Bemy nodded.
When Ste went out to take the dishes, he waited for her at the door and took the those that she had brought over.
Ste turned around and went out to take more dishes.
After a while, all the dishes were brought in.
Bemytasted every dish and said, “It seems that you only made the sandwich.”
Ste smiled and nodded.
Bemyput the sandwich in front of himself and said, “I’ll only eat this one then. As for the rest, please feel free to do whatever you pleased.”
Ste was still smiling. Her eyes seemed to be covered with mist as tears welled up in her eyes.
“What’s wrong?”Bemy’s heart ached. He ced the sandwich in front of her and said, “Here, I’ll give it all to you. Don’t cry.”
Ste wanted to smile as much as possible, but she couldn’t. Tears were still flowing down her face. She took a deep breath and said in an almost pleading tone, “If you’re not Jasper, you must tell me.”
Bemycaressed her head and said lovingly, “Why do you think so?”
Ste pursed her lips and looked at him.
He looked at her watery eyes. The beauty in her eyes enveloped his heart. It felt so bitter. They had so much history. It was like a knife had been pierced into his heart. It hurt.
“I am Jasper. Don’t you trust me? I want to bring you to a ce after dinner,”Bemysaid. He withdrew his hands and continued eating.
Ste could sense that he was broken-hearted.
She also hated herself for being so sensitive. Why did she keep feeling like he was not Jasper?
She hugged him, “A lot of things have happened today. I’m in a bad mood. I’m sorry.”
Bemyembraced her and said, “I don’t me you, I can understand your feelings and doubts. It has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to feel bad about it.”
Ste looked at him.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, “Let’s eat.”
…
He took her into the secret passage after the meal. She saw his bike parked there after walking for a while.
The bike was custom-made. It looked very small,perhaps just enough to pass through the tunnels.
“Get on. Don’t forget to hold on tight to me,”Bemyreminded.
Ste nodded and sat behind the bike and wrapped her arms around his strong waist. Confused, she asked, “Where are you taking me to?”
Bemylooked sideways with a gloomy look in his eyes. He looked ahead with a firm gaze and said, “A ce where your questions could be answered.”
