Jasper Milton looked at her deeply and remained silent.
Natalie Wheeler felt as though she was making a fool of herself. She smiled awkwardly and continued to jog.
When she came to the second lap, Jasper was still sitting in his chair. His head lowered and he was focused on his phone.
The rays of sunshine fell onto his body, making it look as though he was surrounded by a golden halo of warmth. As he lowered his head, his hair left a shadow on his face, which made his features even bolder than it was before.
Natalie’s eyes softened a little.
When she saw him raising his head, she looked away quickly and pretended not to look at him.
Jasper elevated his mobile phone and took a dozen photos of her.
Natalie did not notice his actions and merely ran past him.
Jasper swiped towards Stella’s photos and compared the pictures of the two of them.
Their forehead looked similar, which was bright and full.
The shape of the head was the same too.
Stella’s head was oval-shaped and not flat. It was said that the shape of one’s head was influenced by their sleeping positions during infancy. If they slept flat on their backs, then the back of their heads would be flat. If they lay on the side to sleep, then their heads would be oval.
The oval-shaped head would look good with a ponytail.
The corners of Jasper’s mouth were curled up slightly.
Stella had altered her eyes, lips and face. However, her ears and nose were still the same.
There was a small hole just one centimeter above Stella’s earlobe. It couldn’t be noticed unless one had looked at it carefully.
He guessed that Stella herself probably did not notice it too, so her ears had not gone through plastic surgeries.
Natalie jogged for a few more laps. She saw that Jasper was still sitting on the chair. He did not talk to her nor did he look at her. He was still looking at his mobile phone intently.
Jasper was no longer sitting on the chair when she reached the tenth lap of her jog,
Natalie looked for him subconsciously. However, after looking around, she still could not see him.
She thought about what she was doing and found it laughable.
She had nothing to do with Jasper now. Wasn’t she always against the idea of running into Jasper? What was she doing now then?!
Natalie continued to jog for another ten laps. At this moment, Eli Wayne came over and looked at her solemnly.
Natalie was already tired as well. She then walked towards Eli and asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”
“Same old, same old. If I don’t break the silence, then I’ll die in silence. I have to wait for the best window of opportunity. I just saw Jasper and Sean together. What could they have to talk about together?”
“Although Jasper has left the military to run his business, the influence of the Milton family not only extends to in the army but also in politics. It’s not surprising that Sean came to him. Oh, by the way, before I forget, Allen had promised to help you. As long as you travel to France, he could make you disappear without a trace,” Natalie comforted Eli.
“Sean is not that simple to deal with. If I disappear in France, he will soon suspect Allen, and he will also suspect you. He would definitely not let you go,” Eli was worried.
Natalie smiled slightly, “Nothing would change even if he doesn’t let me go. As long as I don’t admit to it, there will never be any evidence. Besides, with Allen’s identity, Sean wouldn’t dare to offend him rashly.”
“I hope that he would find another woman as soon as possible. If he doesn’t look for me anymore, then I could finally come back to you,” Eli lowered her eyes and said sadly.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. There are too many variables in the future. Tomorrow night is Aneira’s daughter’s birthday. Have you bought the gifts?”
Eli pursed her lips and said, “Sean told me that Aneira’s daughter likes men the most. Besides, she already has a man whom she likes. It’s better to give her what she likes than to give valuable things.”
“Well, it’s certainly an extraordinary gift. You could give it a go I guess. Do you know the man whom she likes?” Natalie asked.
Eli sighed and said gloomily, “It’s Jasper.”
“Ha.” Natalie laughed and said, “He’s really just charming girls everywhere he goes huh? What a playboy.”
Eli was amused by Natalie, and her depression was swept away instantly, “If Jasper knew that you referred to him as a playboy, he would definitely shoot you a look that could kill.”
“Therefore, we should only talk bad about him behind his back, and only to those we trust, lest he find out,” Natalie said with a chuckle.
“Jasper may have lunch here today. I don’t want to see him. Shall we head out for lunch? By the way, could you help me come up with an idea about the gift? I wouldn’t dare to send Jasper to her,” Eli put her arm around Natalie’s shoulder.
“Okay, just give me a moment. I’ll take a shower now,” Natalie wiped the sweat away from her face.
“Oh yes, how is your wound now?” Eli asked worriedly.
“It’s just a superficial wound. It seems to be recovering well when I went to change my bandages yesterday, and it didn’t affect me in my jog. When we head out later, I’ll change the bandages again and check the condition of the wound. I think it should recover soon,” Natalie said with ease.
“You’re really brave. I’ll wait for you at the entrance then. I’m afraid that Sean will bother me again,” Eli said and she went straight to the entrance.
At that moment, her cell phone rang. When she saw that it was Sean, she frowned irritably and said rudely, “Sean, am I your mother? Have you not weaned off yet? I’ve only been away for ten minutes.”
“Do you even have boobs?” Sean Yaleman said coldly.
“I don’t. You should find someone with boobs then,” Eli hung up the phone directly.
Sean called again and said angrily, “If you dare to hang up on me again, I’ll make sure that you won’t be able to walk out of the room. You know I always keep my word.”
She knew that he would do what he said, but what right did he have to do that?
Eli was about to burst into a fit of rage, “President Yaleman, you are, of course, omnipotent. Not only could you stop me from stepping out of the room, but you could also even kill me easily, just like you were stepping on an ant. Would I dare to hang up the phone again? Go ahead, talk all you want.”
Eli tossed her phone into her bag. She walked towards the entrance, ignoring what he was saying on the phone.
After Sean said a sentence, he did not hear any response from Eli. He gritted his teeth and said to the butler, “Find out where Madam is within a minute.”
“Okay, I will check the surveillance cameras right now,” The butler replied immediately. The current President seldom showed his emotions, and only Madam could make him this angry.
Eli had just reached the entrance when Sean arrived right before her. He held the phone in his hand and looked at her with displeasure, “Eli, have I spoiled you too much? You get angry as soon as you answer the phone. I told you not to hang up the phone, but you don’t even listen to the phone now. Why are you making such a fuss?”
Eli turned her face away. After thinking for a moment, she took out her phone and hung it up.
Sean was speechless.
“You really need a spanking. You’re not allowed to go out today.” He rushed towards Eli in a threatening manner.
Eli was so angry that she didn’t know what to say. She threw the bag to Sean and squatted down.
Sean was in shock. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw her lowered head and her trembling shoulders. Tears flowed down her face and dripped down to the cement floor, making small wet marks.
His eyes softened. He walked up to her and said helplessly, “Why are you crying? You were the one who threw a tantrum all of a sudden. Is it my fault? I have something to tell you. Don’t cry.”
