Coldness flashed through Frederick’s eyes. “Don’t worry. He’s your father, I won’t touch him unprovoked.”
Stella Grace smiled charmingly at Frederick. “What if I let you deal with him?”
Frederick Addington looked at Stella in confusion.
Stella made a call and put the phone on speaker.
“Hello, who is it?” It was Wilson Chuck’s voice.
“Dad, this is Stella.”
“Don’t call me dad. You’re no daughter of mine. I heard you hooked up with Jasper Milton. Do you know how notorious you are now?” Wilson said sternly.
“No matter what, I’m still your daughter, aren’t I? Your blood flows in my veins, you can’t change that.”
“Shut up. Your blood came from that b*tch Celine. You’re just like her. I will publicly disown you. Don’t threaten me, I’m not afraid of you,” Wilson said angrily.
Stella’s eyes were as cold as icicles, but she was still smiling. “It’s okay if you disown me. I only have one condition, cooperate with me and cure my mother.”
“In your dreams! From now on, I don’t care whether your mother lives or dies. If you continue to cross me, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Wilson snarled.
“Oh.” Stella chuckled. “I’d like to know what you plan to do to me.”
“Stella, don’t try me. It’s easier to kill you than to kill an ant,” Wilson said, shaking with agitation.
Stella raised her eyebrows at Frederick. She gave a thin smile and said sarcastically, “Are you sure I’d be that easy to kill? I’m afraid that you will be disappointed. You only know that Jasper and I were separated, but did you know that I’m with Frederick now?”
Wilson gnashed his teeth with hatred. “Have you no shame? Frederick is your brother-in-law!”
“I don’t even have a sister, how could I have a brother-in-law? In case you have forgotten, let me just remind you that Frederick is my ex-husband. I think I should know best whether Felicia or I were the shameless one.” Stella hung up the phone.
Frederick looked at Stella with pity. “Stella, don’t be sad. You still have me,” he comforted.
Stella put her phone on the table and said calmly, “Sadly, I still have hopes for him, but things did not turn out the way I wanted it to. What a pity.
I would be lying if I said that I did not expect him to react like this. Well, I shouldn’t be feeling sad about it. On the contrary, this just means I don’t need to show any mercy.”
“I will make him kneel before you and beg for your forgiveness,” Frederick promised.
Stella smiled. Her enchanting eyes were unreadable.
Frederick’s cell phone rang.
Stella continued eating.
When he saw the caller ID, he frowned impatiently and rejected the call.
The phone rang again.
“Do you need me to help you pick it up?” Stella asked with a smile, glancing at his mobile phone. “Felicia, right?”
After thinking for a while, Frederick handed the phone to Stella.
The name ‘Felicia’ flashed on the screen. Looking at the phone, she remembered Frederick’s old nickname for her.
She had long forgotten what that nickname was.
Now, it was just registered as Felicia.
She answered the phone and put it on speaker.
“Frederick, what’s the meaning of this? Dad said that b*tch Stella is with you. Are you crazy? She has been used by many men and is full of diseases. Even Jasper doesn’t want her anymore. Why do you even want a second-hand good like her? How could you do this to me?” Felicia Chuck scolded.
“Are you done?” Stella asked.
Felicia paused, shocked. “Stella, you really are with Frederick. Why are you answering Frederick’s phone? Where is he? I want to talk to him.”
“Just say whatever you want. I’d put the phone on speaker. He’s right next to me so he will be able to hear it too,” Stella said calmly.
Felicia was about to explode. “What do you mean? Stella, you do know that Frederick is my fiance, don’t you? Are you trying to be a mistress now?”
“Frederick is only your fiance. Why are you so angry? Do you remember what you did when Frederick was still my husband?” Stella retorted sarcastically.
“Are you taking revenge on me now?” Felicia roared.
“Ha.” Stella smiled. “You’re nothing to me. Revenge? I’m sorry, I don’t have the time to waste on an insignificant person.”
Felicia screamed hysterically, “First Jasper, then Greg Miles, and now Frederick. Are you trying to hook up with every man whom you had found? Have you no shame?”
“The one with more men will be cursed with death. Do you dare to bet your life with me?” Stella said sarcastically.
“Of course I would dare to. I only have one man, and that man is Frederick. Do you dare to bet with me then?” Felicia shouted.
“Well, I suppose I wouldn’t dare then. I only had one man before this, but now I have two. You win. If there is nothing else, I will hang up now.”
“Stella, if you dare to touch Frederick, I’ll kill you,” Felicia threatened. Her eyes were red. She had caught Stella’s insinuation.
Stella hung up the phone and returned it to Frederick.
Frederick looked at her intently but did not take it.
Stella put the cell phone in front of him. “She seems to love you very much. If you look back, I’m sure you’ll find some fond memories.”
“Felicia participated in sex parties abroad during the three years when I had neglected her. She went every year. Do you think I would like her?” Frederick sneered and gulped down his red wine.
“Well, in some way, you are very suitable for her. Didn’t you often go to parties like that too? When you get married in the future, you could go for those parties together. There are no obstacles, pressure, responsibilities, or burdens,” Stella said calmly as she poured him a little red wine.
“But there’s no love between us. I am tired of living without emotions. I don’t want to be at my deathbed to realize that I didn’t have anyone whom I love, and I didn’t have anyone who loves me. That would seem as if I had lived my life in vain. There may not be any obstacles, pressure, responsibilities, or burdens when I’m with Felicia, but at the same time, I would not have warmth, rest, or peace with her as well,” Frederick said sadly, looking at Stella with burning eyes.
“What you are looking for is a woman who loves you wholeheartedly. You’ll find her some day, but she’s not me.” Stella gulped down her wine.
She felt heavy in her heart. This shouldn’t be.
She shouldn’t have any feelings.
