“Okay,” Ste responded.


    “By the way, what do you think about the Minister of Financevacancy? A lot of people are interested in this position, and I think that it is unlikely to stay vacant for too long, at most until the beginning of New Year. What do you think?” Bemy continued to ask.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Ste paused and her expression became serious. She stared at Bemy and answered, “The position will usually open for election because they are too many candidatespeting for it. Hence, it won’t be guaranteed that it could be filled up by someone from our side. I wanted to have a discussion with you regarding this matter.I was thinking of creating some problems, but…”


    Ste paused on second thought.


    “But what?” Bemy asked.


    “Although we had defeated Christian Saltzmansessfullybecause of what had happened to Allenst time, I am afraid that we will jeopardize the reputation of A Country and cause the currency to drop if we were to cause another big problem. I don’t think that it would be a good decision to make,” Ste analyzed.


    Bemy looked at her and smiled dotingly.


    Ste was not only beautiful and gentle, but she was also smart and kind.


    Her kindness that was hidden under her strong outer shell had just been revealed for a little bit, but it was enough to touch Bemy’s heart.


    Jasper must be the luckiest person in the world to have met her so early.


    “That’s not a big problem, since Y Country and A Country have always had good diplomatic rtions. All these years, we have been helping them in economic developments. Not only that, we support them in architecture, research development, healthcare, education, transportation, and we even export our intellectuals to them. It would be safe to say that they are our vassal state,” Bemy said to her.


    “I have heard about that before,” Ste had never been interested in these types of issues in the past. However, she was forced to pay attention to them now.


    “Y Country is a country with a multi-party system, so there will always be political issues. If a civil war were to happen all of a sudden, A Country would not only need to consider which side we want to be on, but we also need to put in a lot of money. Whoever puts in the most money will have the right to speak.”


    “If it’s about money, I believe that Christian will have plenty of it, so does Sean. However, Christian will definitely put in a lot for moneyundering.” Ste guessed.


    “Christian’s money is most likely to be clean because his family owns several businesses. Likewise forMilton Corp, because we are obviously using a corporate ount. However, that’s not the case for Sean. He couldn’t just tantly take his dirty money out publicly.”


    No matter how much money Christian puts in, it will be used for moneyundering because it would be impossible for him to regain the position of Minister of Finance. So, you would be the one with the most authority,” Bemy suggested to Ste.


    “If that happens, not only do my people get the Minister’s position, but I could also build up the reputation of A Country internationally. It’s just a pity for the people of Y Country,” Ste said. She looked down and thought about something that Master Olgic had once told her. In order to seed, she must first sacrifice others.


    She didn’t want to do that. After all, they were all human. Hence, she always felt burdened by this.


    One shouldn’t know too much about humanity, because it would only lead them into disappointment.


    “I will try to coordinate the situation so that they won’t hurt the people,” Bemy reassured her.


    “Everything is so uncertain, and you might lose control over the situation. I am sure you understand that A Country cannot get involved in a civil war. Take XL Country for example. The war has been going on for almost six years, and it has note to an end yet,” Ste said as sheid her head on the table.


    “Don’t worry. I promise you that this war won’t take long, at most, a few months. Trust me, I have my ways,” Bemy said softly.


    He often made promises to her. The only thing that Ste could do now was to put her trust in him.


    “Jasper, I’m a little tired. I want to rest for a while,” Ste said softly.


    Bemy walked over, then picked her up and put her on the bed. “I will take one box of test papers with me tomorrow morning when I leave. I’ll help you with it when I have some free time in the morning.


    Ste had her arms wrapped around his neck asshe said to him,“You have your own work to do in the morning, and I think that I could still manage it. I’lldo it at my own pace.Besides, I don’t want to be thinking about you during my free time. So, please don’t take my job away.”


    Bemy chuckled, then let out a grin, “Will you really miss me? Which part of me do you miss the most then?”


    Ste’s face turned red.


    She had promised to help him with the job thest time. However, he ended up settling it in the bathroom on his own.


    It had been some time since theyst did it.


    “I’ll be three months very soon,” Ste said shyly.


    Bemy looked at her deeply and said, “Well, no hurry. Take a nap first, and I will help you with some of the test papers. We’ll have dinner together after you wake up from your nap.”


    Ste leaned on the pillow and looked at Bemy, “It’s Monday tomorrow. You coulde over if you are free and I will prepare your favorite dishes.”


    “Okay,” Bemy went back to the chair and helped Ste with the test papers.


    Despite her tiredness, Ste still stared at Bemy and refused to close her eyes.


    She hoped that nothing would separate them anymore. She just wanted to live together happily as a family after seeking justice for herself. At the moment, she thought of Dante.


    “Take a nap.I’m not going anywhere.We could still see each other every day,” Bemy said to her softly.


    Ste closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.


    Bemy turned off the music, then went over to cover her with a nket. After that, he went back to his chair and continued to help her with the test papers.


    Ste had a dream that night. She dreamed that Jasper was stuck on an isted indwith no trees, and he was surrounded by the sea. He looked at her with his deep eyes, as though he had so many things to tell her.


    However, she couldn’t seem to hear what he was saying.Her heart ached when she saw him standing there with such loneliness in his eyes. She could even feel the pain and sadness that wasing out of her heart.


    Suddenly, Eli appeared and stood behind Jasper.


    Ste had a bad feeling, and she started screaming, “No, Eli, No!”


    Eli pushed Jasper off the ind. She thenlooked at Ste with a cold and desperate smile.


    Ste kneeled to the ground hopelessly and screamed, “No, Eli, No!”


    However, Eli refused to listen to her. Instead, she too jumped into the sea.


    Ste was the only person left on the ind.


    She was sorrowful,soshe too jumped into the sea without any hesitation.


    However, her heart was aching and she had difficulty breathing. Meanwhile, her pillowcase was already wet. Bemy looked at her worriedly and asked, “Ste, are you having a nightmare?”


    Ste immediately hugged Bemy and started sobbing. She said to him,“I had a dream, and you were dead. Eli was dead too,I watched the two of you jump into the sea. In the end, I jumped into the sea too because I was too lonely.”


    Bemyforted her and said, “I won’t die. Even if that dayes,I’ll make sure to die after you. I won’t leave you alone in this ce. Don’t worry. Reality usually manifests oppositely from a dream, so calm down.”


    Yes, dreams would always turn out differently from reality.


    It meant that he was still alive, and Eli was too. However, she still felt sad thinking about it.


    She had experienced too many partings of life and death. She did not want to go through them again.
