“Jasper, let’s just let each other go,” Stella Grace said softly.
Jasper pulled over and stopped. He was a little annoyed. “What exactly do you want? You proposed to get married and now you want me to let you go.”
“Would you do whatever I ask for?” Stella asked.
Jasper was impatient. “Yes!”
“Then let’s let each other go.”
“Okay,” he said, looking ahead and started the car.
Stella knew that he was serious about it.
But she did not regret what she said, because she saw his knitted brows.
He didn’t mean it when he said he wanted to marry her.
“In that case, this is the end of the road for us.” Stella thought quietly to herself.
Jasper took her to the train station and watched her enter. His eyes were dimmed.
He took out a cigarette from his storage box and lit it up. He took a deep breath and blew out a thick cloud of smoke which swarmed around him.
Half an hour later, he called Lieutenant Shine. “Go to the psychology research centre and issue an official document. I need a psychologist to do a thorough evaluation of the soldiers’ psychological quality, and please let them know that I want Stella Grace.”
“Okay, I’ll communicate with the relevant departments to draft the agreement right now.”
Jasper ended the call and threw his phone on the passenger’s seat. He then left the train station.
Stella returned to A City. All she wanted was a good night’s sleep at the hotel but Eli Wayne called her at the worst time. “Stella, how long more do you need before you can come back? I miss you so much.”
Stella smiled and said, “I just came back and checked into the hotel.”
“Great, let’s have dinner tonight. Let me tell you, the man I met on the blind date was not reliable either. He dumped me. Do you think I’m that bad? So bad that no one wants to date me?” Eli was down.
“I’ll treat you to dinner. Let’s go to the seafood restaurant we used to go to all the time .”
“It closed down two years ago.”
“Oh, really?” Stella was a little sad when she heard that.
She remembered that the restaurant was doing well. The boss was very friendly and their food was also delicious.
“Yeah. In the past two years or so, takeaways took a lot of business from physical restaurants. People tend to order from home. The boss could not afford the high rental of his shop so he decided to close it down,” Eli explained. “I know another seafood restaurant in town, there’s a 4A-class women’s club nearby. I have been thinking of going there for quite some time, but I won’t enjoy it if I go alone. You can come with me, and I’ll treat you,” she offered.
“A women’s club?” Stella suddenly thought of Katty Davis. “The men there are dirty, don’t touch them.”
“Do you think I’m a fool? Spending money to find a man? I don’t look like I’m rich, do I? I’m just going to explore, maybe go to the spa or something.”
“Well, okay. I’m staying at Sheraton’s near A University. Call me when you’re here.”
Half an hour later, Eli arrived.
Stella was quite surprised. ” Doesn’t it usually take an hour to come from the military base? How fast did you drive?.”
“Hee hee, The tiger isn’t at the base. There isn’t much work to do. I’m on leave tomorrow, so I left earlier today. I was already driving when I called you. Come, I’ll take you to have delicious seafood,” Eli said with a smile.
Stella got into Eli’s car and fastened her seat belt.
“How’s Greg Miles like in your research centre?” Eli asked.
“He is very charming. There are a lot of women who like him. There are also many women whom he likes. He is a wanderer and had a short marriage. I don’t think he would settle down until he’s at least 40. Why? Don’t tell me that you are interested in him.” Stella was worried.
“What else can I do? I wouldn’t be bothered by things like this when I was young. But I’m in my late twenties now, my parents keep pestering me about this,” Eli sighed.
“You are only 27 years old, and there are 3 years to go before you hit 30. Don’t worry.” Stella said..
“I was not in a hurry before this. I was thinking of dating someone for two years before getting married and settling down. But look at me now and the number of times I got dumped, I guess I’ll still be single till I’m 30. What kind of woman do men like now? I don’t know.” Eli was irritated.
“I think they would like girls like you, sporty and cheerful. You are also very generous, filial, kind, good-shaped, and naturally beautiful. You should be able to get a boyfriend.” Stella couldn’t figure things out too.
“I know right. I have my own income too. I don’t need his money, I can even help him bear his expenses. Those men are blind.” Eli shrugged. “I should just go on a blind date show on TV, and be satisfied with whoever I get.”
“You will get one. By the way, I think I saw Sean Yaleman at the place we went for the military blind date.” Stella couldn’t remember clearly.
“What’s he doing there? Is he that free? Or does he want girls from the military?” Eli asked. She was not happy at all when Stella brought him up.
“Have you been in touch with him?” Stella asked casually.
“Hell no. I gave my first time to him while I was unconscious. I wouldn’t have let go of him if I didn’t know that he was also drugged. If I were still a virgin, I might still have some value in the market. Let’s not talk about him. He’s such an annoyance.” Eli accelerated and they arrived at the restaurant after half an hour.
It was late, and the restaurant was already closed.
“Let’s go. There’s food at the women’s club.” Eli pulled Stella towards the club.
The women’s club only allowed their members to enter.
Eli applied for the membership, while Stella went to the bathroom.
“Did you hear that Tony died? His body was dismembered into eight segments. The murderer was very cruel. He or she even cut off his dick and put it in his mouth. He was left in the public toilet,” a woman said.
“It’s so terrible. Poor guy, he was so good-looking. I heard that his skills in bed was also excellent. Only a diamond member can ask for his service,” another woman said.
“Do you know Greg Miles?”
Stella was about to leave, but when she heard Greg’s name, she looked at the woman who was talking.
“He said that the woman who asked for Tony’s service last night was the murderer. But he was taken away by someone before the murderer was even arrested. I was there when he was caught.”
Stella frowned. “Are you talking about Greg Miles, the psychologist?”
“Yes, it’s probably related to the diamond member. And this diamond member must be someone rich or famous. Diamond members usually do things secretly. He’s probably in great trouble this time.”
Stella quickly called Jasper.
She knew too well about those people. Greg had offended them.
Jasper picked up the call. “Have you given up so quickly?” he asked in a strange tone.
Stella : “…”
