Ste looked at the ring and said, “Uh… isn’t it too fast for us?”


    “We were never divorced anyway,” Jasper said.


    Ste was speechless.


    She was a little confused and she started stuttering, “We didn’t divorce, but you were already prepared to remove your memory. Wouldn’t I riskmitting bigamy then? I mean, you won’t remember that we are divorced.”


    “Before I remove my memory, I’ll make a phone call and annul our marriage. That way, you won’t be charged for bigamy,” Jasper exined seriously.


    Ste felt that she was hrious.


    She wasn’t nning to get married again anyway, so she wouldn’t have to worry about being charged for bigamy.


    She put the ring in her pocket.


    Jasper frowned. “Aren’t you going to put it on?”


    “You’re not wearing it either, are you?” Ste asked in return.


    Jasper immediately slid the ring onto his ring finger. Ste had some thoughts and returned the ring to him.


    Jasper’s heart thumped, and his gaze became dark.


    “Help me put it on,” Ste said.


    His gaze changed in an instant. He smiled and put the ring on for her.


    Ste looked at the ring on her finger. It reflected when the sunlight shone on it.


    She suddenly remembered something. “My senior said that we have two children together. Could I meet them?”


    “Dante has been staying with his foster parents while Sandro is staying with Mom. I will call her and ask her to bring him over,” Jasper said.


    “Dante, is he the seven-year-old child? Why is he living with his foster parents?” Ste asked in confusion.


    “Dante is not seven. He is already nine. Sandro is fifteen months old. When you left, it was still winter and now summer ising to an end,” Jasper looked at her gently and said, “He stayed with his foster parents because you thought that Dante wanted to live with them more, andyou wanted everyone to live togetherwhen all of this was over.”


    “Mm,” Ste replied.


    Her eldest child was nine years old already. Didn’t that mean that they had been together for a long time?


    They started on their meal once the steak was done.


    “Are you going to the research center in the afternoon?” Ste asked.


    “I have something to tell you,” Jasper looked very serious.


    “What is it?”


    “I’m not the security guard of the research center. I’m the person who invested in the research center,” Jasper said.


    Ste was stunned and she asked, “Did you also invest in Eleven?”


    “Yes,” Jasper replied.


    Ste didn’t expect that. “Why… are you doing this?”


    “The research that they’re doing in the research center is beneficial to the world, and experts from around the world are gathered there. As for the investment in the police station, I did it to get in touch with you,” Jasper confessed.


    “You…” Ste didn’t know what to say for a while. “Are you rich?”


    “Yes.”


    “Since you have so much money, why didn’t you use it to build and support your country instead?” Ste asked in confusion.


    “Ny percent of the money was spent on military resources and construction. I took over the special military base in the Northern and Southern regions and calmed a civil war. Now, everything is stable and under control by Bemy,” Jasper exined.


    “What do you mean?” Ste was confused. She thought for a while and said, “You are a senior official in your country. It’s not appropriate for you to walk around in the United States like this, right?”


    “I’m just operating behind the scenes, and I haven’t officially announced it yet. epting the military base was just to help Bemy ovee his difficulties. In the future, I just want to be with you. If you stay in the United States, I will stay here as well. I will apany you if you prefer to go somece else. The rest of my life and time, they are all yours,” Jasper said in a deep voice.


    Ste listened to his confession. She was very calm, up to the point that even she was surprised by her own reaction. She did not say anything else, “Let’s eat.”


    She left for the clinic after that. She thought of what he said and felt that somehow, from his tone, there was a deep apology, as though he wanted to make things right with her. She felt uneasy.


    She arrived at the clinic soon after and went in.


    “Doctor Grace, the patient has some urgent matters to attend to in the afternoon so he can’t make it today. Would you like to move your schedule forward?” Archer asked.


    “It’s alright,” Ste went to the consultation room alone, turned on the music, andy down on the sofa. She closed her eyes, cleared her mind, and took some rest.


    Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep. Her mind seemed clearerwhen she woke up.


    She should not be afraid of the future because of what had happened in the past. She still had to move on for the future.


    She gave Jasper a call, who picked up within a second.


    “Are you free now?” Ste asked.


    “Yes.”


    “I’ve finished my work here, and it’s still early. I know a good ce to fish. Shall we go together?” Ste invited.


    Jasper smiled. “Sure.”


    “We might be staying over there tonight so you need to bring some clothes. I want to take you to a ce tomorrow,” Ste said with a smile.


    “Alright.”


    “See you in an hour,” Ste hung up, returned home, and packed up her luggage.


    The phone rang. It was Jasper.


    She answered.


    “We’ll take my car. I’m already in front of your house,” Jasper said.


    Ste opened the door, carried her luggage, and another big baggage.


    Jasper looked at her bag in surprise. “You even brought a pot with you?”


    “We will be catching fish and using a pot to cook them in the wild. It’ll be very delicious,” Ste said.


    Jasper took her luggage and put it in the trunk.


    “I still have a few bottles of water in the house. Give me a minute,” Ste went back to get mineral water which was 15 liters each. She brought 10 bottles.


    Jasper helped put them in the car before setting off.


    Ste navigated to the location. “The ce is a bit far; it’ll take two hours. But when we arrive, we definitely won’t regret it.”


    “Mm. I think we’ll pass by a supermarket. I’ll go buy a few more things,” Jasper said.


    “Sounds good,” They headed to the supermarket.


    Jasper bought a tent, a lighter, beef jerky, and dried vegetables. He also bought two bags of spaghetti, apples, lemons, and watermelon before setting off.


    It was already 6. 35 p. m. when they arrived at the ce that Ste mentioned, and the sky was getting darker.


    “Do you want to go fishing at night?” Jasper asked.


    “Let’s go now. We might catch a fish before it gets dark, then we’ll have fish to eat at night,” Ste said as she took out her fishing gear.


    “Shall we build a tent here?” Jasper looked around. It was surrounded by mountains on both sides. The scenery was stunning, and it was a little chilly. However, there were quite a lot of mosquitoes. Fortunately, he had brought mosquito repellent.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    “Okay,we could take a bath in the river after catching some fish. We could also use the clean water to rinseafter that.”


    Jasper frowned. “What if someone passes by?”


    Ste smiled and said, “I brought some props, so no one will see us.”


    “What kind of prop?” Jasper was surprised.
