Stella Grace was speechless.
Jasper Milton asked his men to bring her a big basin and five jugs of hot water.
She felt uncomfortable if she didn’t shower.
She went into the bathroom and washed up.
Jasper went in after her.
His laptop was not shut down. Stella stole a glance at it.
All that confidential information were plastered on the screen.
Jasper just came into the bathroom without closing it. Imagine if someone came snooping.
Well, she was no snoop.
The more secrets a person knew, the faster they would die.
Lying on the bed, she took out her phone and went on social media.
Someone by the name of Mandy had sent her a lot of messages.
She hadn’t used this account for a long time, she only used it to contact Eli Wayne.
She didn’t add anyone as a friend easily.
She could not recall this name at all. Did an ex-colleague change account names?
Eli would do that, at least once a month.
That’s why she pinned her as her top friend, she just couldn’t identify her.
Stella clicked on the message.
“Are you there?” She got this message everyday but nothing else.
Stella replied, “Yes, may I know who are you?”
“Stella Grace, you finally replied. I miss you so much. Where are you now?” asked Mandy.
Stella was curious how this person even knew her name.
“Who are you?” Stella asked.
“A man who loves you,” Mandy said.
Something was not right, she felt that she was being provoked. That irritated her. “There are a lot of men who love me. I’m going to block you if you don’t reveal who you are.”
He did not reply.
Just when Stella was about to block the contact,
the name “Frederick Addington.” popped up.
Stella remembered that she had blocked Frederick a long time ago. How could he still contact her?
She decided to block this person regardless of whether or not he was Frederick.
A big hand suddenly snatched her phone away.
Stella turned to him.
Jasper read her chat history and frowned. “There are a lot of men who love you?”
It was intended to provoke that person, she was just boasting.
However, she didn’t like how he grabbed her phone and invaded her privacy.
And after she could have gone through his laptop, too!
“Quite a few, yes,” Stella said as she tried to snatch her phone back.
Jasper frowned. “Are you still in contact with your ex-husband?”
“I don’t even know if it’s really him. Also, I blacklisted him a long time ago.” She did not lie.
Jasper blocked Mandy for her and handed her the phone. “Who else are in love with you? Tell me.”
Stella Grace was speechless.
He was actually taking her seriously.
“Tom, Dick and Harry,” Stella casually replied.
Jasper held her chin, leaned over, and kissed her lips.
To be accurate, it was not a kiss but a peck. It was a bit lighter than biting. He pushed her on the bed.
Stella was shocked. She pressed her hands against his chest and blushed. “We just did it, and I just showered.”
Jasper looked into her eyes.
He didn’t say a word, but his eyes were very bright, she could see her reflection in them.
Stella couldn’t fathom his intentions.
“First, pushing you onto the bed doesn’t mean I’m asking for it. Second, can’t we do it again even if we just did it?” Jasper asked.
“Hmm,” Stella took the opportunity to sit up and curled up at the edge of the bed.
“What?” Jasper had seen it coming but decided to let her go.
“Do it once a week for physical needs, twice a week for personal needs, seven times a week would take a toll on your body,” Stella explained.
Jasper sat on the bed, glanced at her, and said, “How often do you want it in a week?”
It’s a trap.
If she answered once, she would be treated as an object. She couldn’t accept that.
If she answered twice, she would look ambitious, as if she got close to him with bad intentions.
Stella opted to ignore his question. “Well, if you take this too seriously. It will become a burden.”
“Well, you would know, wouldn’t you?” Jasper smirked.
Stella: “…”
He was referring to her health expertise.
Stella found that she could not rebut him at all.
But Jasper wasn’t a talkative person. He was always trying to be cool.
He was always very careful with his words.
She was a little annoyed at his attempts to trap her. “Doesn’t your heart ache every time you win a fight with me?”
‘Doesn’t his heart ache?’
This was a popular tagline on the internet.
She regretted it right after she said it.
Jasper wasn’t the type to get such jokes, nor was he the kind who would spend enough time online to be able to comprehend Internet slangs.
He might actually take her words seriously.
“I’ll give you a chance to win next time,” Jasper promised.
Stella felt a little strange. She lowered her head and noticed that he was getting closer to her.
Before she knew it, he was already in front of her.
“I have to clarify something,” Jasper said.
“What?” Stella asked. She hadn’t done anything wrong.
“I am not a sex fiend. I haven’t had a woman in the past three years, and I have never pleasured myself. I only want to do it with you,” Jasper said seriously.
Stella’s heart was pounding
What was he getting at?
Did he like her?
Probably not.
Enjoying sex with her did not necessarily mean that he liked her.
He had also mentioned that she was not his cup of tea. He was only curious about how he fell in love with her in the past.
But why did he say that to her?
Stella looked into his clear, calm eyes.
He probably only liked having sex with her.
He was always so ambiguous.
Stella tried to distract herself. “If you haven’t been pleasuring yourself, how did you manage it?”
She felt the heat radiating from his body.
“Exercise, high intensity training and work. All of these burns energy. Also, I occasionally stain my blanket,” Jasper explained.
Stella thought of Katty Davis.
Katty was his fiancee. If she remembered correctly, Katty should be older than her.
She herself was already 28 years old. Katty, at her age, would have needs too.
Should she remind him of Katty?
She did not want to be a busybody.
But if Jasper had sex with Katty before having sex with her, she might get syphilis.
“Anyway, you have to use a condom in the future,” Stella said. She felt hot so she moved to the other side of the bed to get away from him.
Jasper saw her move. He reached out, grabbed her waist and embraced her. “Didn’t you get an IUD already? There’s no need for a condom.”
Stella : “…”
