Jasper Milton frowned even more. He stepped forward and held Stephen’s arm.
Before he could say anything, Stephen said anxiously, “Well, she said that I shouldn’t tell anyone about her crying. I’ve already told you, so we should be even now.”
“That’s not what I wanted to talk about,” Jasper said in a low voice.
“Then what’s the matter? You’re scaring me. When you get angry, it feels like even the earth is quaking,” Stephen said whilst panting.
“Natalie and her friends came to see you, hoping that you can be their lobbyist.” Jasper explained.
“Don’t worry. First come first serve. Since I’ve promised you and you’ve done what I asked you to do, I’ll definitely help you. I won’t break my promise,” Stephen said, patting his chest.
“I want you to help her.” After saying that, Jasper loosened his grip.
Stephen looked at Jasper and asked in confusion, “This could increase your yearly income by a few hundred millions. How could you hand such an opportunity to someone else?”
“Just do as I say. You do talk a lot of nonsense huh,” Jasper didn’t want to explain more.
“Do you fancy that girl? ? She’s Allen’s girlfriend and Allen is a French noble. His family power is not inferior to yours. I think Allen is also infatuated with her,” Stephen said tentatively.
“That’s my business, and you don’t have to worry about it. Do you need me to help you deal with your daughters’ affairs?” Jasper asked.
Thinking of his two daughters, Stephen’s face darkened. He shook his head, patted Jasper on the shoulder, and drooped his head walking downstairs.
Hale Summer cooked soup for everyone. After everyone ate, Stephen arranged for them to rest.
Olivia’s husband went to bed with his two children. The children were pretty traumatized from the events of that night.
Rachel was accompanied by her boyfriend. There were also Stephen’s security guards in the same room.
The butler accompanied Stephen. Allen and Jasper stayed in a room while Eli Wayne nd Natalie Wheeler slept on the bed that was temporarily built in the study room.
“I didn’t expect something like this to happen, we were just here to fight for a client today,” Eli said with a sigh.
“This is not a coincidence, but fate. It’s inevitable.
Jasper had already negotiated with Stephen way before they had the chance to. After his painting was sold successfully last night, Stephen decided to go to A country.
He asked his daughters to come back to the island. The sisters thought that it was for the property division, so naturally, they would talk about Mikael, whom they had murdered. Rachel was close to Lisa because of Mikael. Thus, the case would be exposed at the right time, place, and environment,” Natalie analyzed.
“Well, maybe it’s God’s will. Or maybe it’s not the time yet,” Eli said, accepting the fate. There was an unconcealable disappointment in her tone.
Natalie turned around and faced Eli, “I have talked to Jasper. He asked me to be his son’s tutor. He also said that he would ask Stephen to help you.”
“Is that true?” Eli sat up in shock, “Although I don’t know much about business, the cooperation this time should be a huge project. It should make a few hundred million, shouldn’t it?”
“I don’t know how much the exact amount is, but I think it is indeed a good opportunity. I will go to Jasper’s house as a tutor, and he in turn, could protect me. Also, Allen is my boyfriend now, so I am very safe. Eli, you should think about your future,” Natalie lowered her voice and said cautiously.
“But why would Jasper give up such a good bargain for you? Are you sure there isn’t something else going on?” Eli was worried.
“As long as I don’t hurt him, his child, his parents, and his friends, Jasper will not take action on me. I can guarantee his character, he will not be unreasonable.”
“Could it be that he was certain that you are Stella?” Eli guessed.
“My looks have changed, and my DNA is altered. As long as I never admit it, he will never be able to confirm it. I just have to deny it no matter what,” Natalie comforted Eli.
“Stella.” Eli called and looked at Natalie suspiciously, “I might be leaving soon. After I leave, we may not be able to contact each other for the rest of our lives. Could you please be honest with me?”
Stella Grace felt a wave of sadness in her heart.
Eli was her best friend and also her only friend. It was heartbreaking to think that they could no longer contact each other for the rest of their lives.
However, perhaps that was the fate between them.
Her eyes were clouded with haze, “I’ll tell you my real thoughts.”
“Do you still love Jasper?” Eli asked.
Natalie looked at Eli deeply, “Stella loves Jasper deeply, and she is willing to sacrifice herself for him. But, I am Natalie.”
“Is it possible for Natalie to fall in love with Jasper then?” Eli continued to ask.
Natalie was silent, and various colors of light were flowing through her eyes. She lowered her eyes gradually, and her long eyelashes covered the light in her eyes.
Eli’s lips twitched. “You don’t have to answer. No matter what you want to do, I only hope that you will be happy. You must live the life you want to.”
“Eli, what do people want in this life?” Natalie asked with tears streaming down her cheeks quietly.
When Eli saw Natalie crying, her tears could not stop flowing out. She hugged Natalie and said, “Stella, I don’t want to be separated from you. I want to continue chatting about everything under the sun with you. I want to share the same hatred with you, I want to shop, eat, and sleep together with you.”
Natalie also hugged Eli and she did not say anything. She just let her sadness run wild and her heart ache.
She couldn’t promise that they would meet again, because she knew that if they met again after Eli left, it would mean that they were faced with troublesome circumstances. It would be very difficult for them to meet again.
The two of them cried for a long time and they lay on the bed together in sadness and pity. Eli held Natalie’s waist, “I hope that after Sean finds a new lover, we will have a chance to meet again.”
“When Sean is no longer interested in you, I will look for you at D Country,” Natalie said in a hoarse voice.
“You should look for a priest named Father John at St. Madeleine Church. He’ll give you my contact number,” Eli said.
“Okay, I will stay in A country. You know where to find me,” Natalie sniffled and said.
Eli buried her head in Natalie’s hair and put away her usual cheeky smile. She said solemnly, “I know where to find you.”
Natalie fell asleep in a daze and had a dream that she eventually separated with Eli. She cried miserably in her dream.
She had love, friendship, and kinship, but they all seemed to be very far away.
When she woke up, the tears had wet her pillow case. She sniffed and turned to look at Eli.
Eli also had a bad dream, and her temples were wet.
Natalie’s heart ached when she saw this.
She had also made a decision. After this, not only must she take good care of her child, but she also needed to prepare for the reunion with Eli.
She was also reluctant to part with Eli, her only friend.
