“There are a few reasons. For one, I am not sure if we arepletely safe now. Also, Dante will be unhappy to be with me. After all, he grew up with his adoptive parents, and they have been very good to him,” Bemy exined his thoughts to her.


    “But he is my child.”


    “Dante and Ralph should already be starting their primary education. When our child is born, are you going to take Dante and Ralph to travel around the world ordo you want them to stay on the deserted ind with us?” Bemy asked.


    Ste remained silent. After thinking for a while, she put down her fork and said seriously, “I couldgive up traveling the world for them. When summer vacation or winter holidayse, we could still all go together as a family.”


    “I know what you mean, but let’s wait a little longer.”


    “SinceDante is more fond of his foster parents, we could hire them to live with us. Besides, we need to hire people to take care of them anyway, right?” Ste suggested.


    Bemy nodded.He held Ste’s hands tightly and said, “Okay, from now on, I shall leave all the decision-making to you. However,let’s wait a little longerfor the sake of everyone’s safety.”


    “Alright,” Ste stopped trying to persuade him.


    If he wanted to wait, then she would wait. After all,he must have his reasons for waiting.“You should eat more;you’re getting skinnier and skinnier.You should sleep earlier after this too. You haven’t rested yet.”


    Bemy smiled. Without saying a word, he continued to eat with his head lowered.


    …


    Since the negotiation with B Country had yet to conclude, Bemy and Ste could not go out for a walk after the meal.


    They then returned to their room.


    For some reason,Ste felt a strange feeling creeping up her back.As she had taken a shower,sheclimbed straight into bed and turned her back to him.


    Bemy cast his eyes on her and went into the bathroom with a new set of clothes.


    Ste’s heart was in turmoil.


    Although they were husband and wife,it had been a while since they were intimate…


    For some reason, ever since he changed his identity, she always needed millions of reasons to persuade herself to be calm around him. She always had to convince herself to ept him. Could it be that she was still wary of him deep down?


    She had seen people in disguise before. They would look like the person they were impersonating at first nce, and their photos would look impable. However, they still looked different to the naked eye.


    She had undergone stic surgery before. Therefore,she knew where to look to find traces of surgery. However, Bemy’s face did not have the slightest knife mark on it, and even his voice was identical to Jasper’s.


    If he was not the real Jasper, then where would Jasper be?


    Amid her imagination, Bemy came out of the bathroom.


    Ste gave him a thorough look.


    He was dressed in a ck bathrobe, and every single angle of him was perfect.


    He was wless,and there was no need for him to change anything at all.


    Bemy sat on the bed and smiled. He looked a bit haughty, arrogant, and unrestrained.


    He went for Ste’s lips.


    Ste instinctively dodged. She knew that she should not have done that.She looked at Bemy’s disappointed look and kissed his face instead.


    “Why did you dodge?” Bemy asked directly.


    “I am afraid that we won’t be able to control ourselves. I’ve been feeling unwelltely,” Ste told him.


    Bemy raised her chin and asked, “Am I a person who only cares about enjoying myself and ignore your feelings?”


    “I am afraid that I can’t control myself.”


    Bemy was speechless.


    Nevertheless, he seemed satisfied with her answer,and he kissed her on the lips.


    Ste shut her eyes.


    The image of Jasper shed in Bemy’s mind, and he did not go deeper. He looked at Ste,his eyes unreadable.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Even if he wanted her, he had to wait until Jasper had passed away. Otherwise, he would never be able to ovee his conscience.Therefore, he would always hold himself back even if she were to initiate anything.


    “Let’s sleep,” Bemy said gently.


    Ste smiled in response and got into bedobediently.


    Laying down beside her, he turned off the lights.


    They slept very well that night.


    Jasper was still by her side when she woke up the next day. Ste closed her eyes again and her mind was clear. She was wide awake, but she did not want to disturb the peace and quietness of the scene.


    Bemy smiled. He kept his eyes closed ashe did not want to get up either.


    Just then, his phone rang.


    The abrupt sound was especially ear-piercing in the quiet room.


    Bemy had no choice but to open his eyes and grab his phone. He looked at the caller ID,and it was from Samuel. His face darkened. He then declined the call.


    He got up, lowered his head, and kissed Ste’s forehead. “Sleep for a while longer. It’s still early. I will call you for breakfastter.”


    Ste hummed in acknowledgment.


    He took his cell phone with him and went downstairs to the lobby. Then, he returned the call. “What do you want?”


    “The video about Quinn has been released.Was it you who gave it to Sean? Where are you now?” Samuel immediately asked.


    “I am now in B Country. It is more appropriate to send that video of Quinn to Sean. After all, he has been paying attention to this matter.


    Also, he is the President, so it will be more convenient for him to do it. Even if I were to give it to my subordinates, Sean still has to be the one to send it out.


    In addition, my people have not been rescued yet. Once we start pressuring the other partyter today, I’m sure that the President of B Country would let our people go. I will then arrange for them to return home. Also, I also want to give myself a few days off.”


    “Do you think that it’s appropriate for you to leave your newlywed wife at home and stay abroad?” Samuel asked angrily.


    Bemy had already decided to leave with Ste.He knew that he had to make things clear to Samuel.


    “Actually, I have always regarded Tinley as my sister. I do not have any romantic feelings towards her.”


    “You say that, but didn’t you sleep with her?” Samuel was unable to remain calm.


    “We are innocent, I have done nothing to her,” Bemy exined.


    “So, are you saying that you have no intentions of marrying Tinley?” Samuel was shocked.


    “I want to rest for a few years to know what exactly I want in my life. I also hope that you could grant me freedom.”


    “You are out of your mind,” Samuel roared in anger. “Do you know what will happen in a few years? You won’t have any more chances by then. Don’t you want to be the President? If it weren’t for Quinn and Asher working together to kill your father, you would have already be the President. That is your fate.”


    “Sean is doing a good job. He is very capable. I believe that the country will do well under his care.”


    “So,are you saying that you are giving up on your mission? Argh, you are unbelievable!When your father entrusted you to me, he hoped that you would be the President one day. But now, you actually want to end your political career for Ste!!!”


    “I love her,” Bemy said bluntly.


    “She is your brother’s wife!” Samuel’s voice was trembling.


    “That is whymy mission now is to take care of her. Also, I want to take care of her like how a man would.”


    “Aren’t you afraid that I would tell her the truth? I am going to tell her now. You really are p*ssing me off,” Samuelthreatened. He was so angry that he felt like he was about to explode.
