Stella Grace was stunned. She remembered that he had the God’s Eyes, so it was easy for him to find her.
Was he here to take her back?
Jasper Milton came out of the elevator and handed her the bag in his hand. “Your stuff is in it. I packed them all in here. Your dog is inside too. The hotel does not allow pets. You’d better not let anyone discover it.”
Stella’s heart sank. It turned out that he was here to return her things. “Well, I don’t have the time to take care of him. Please take care of him for a while.”
Jasper fixed his eyes on her. He smirked and asked meaningfully, “Are you busy?”
“Yes,” Stella responded.
Jasper opened the bag and picked up the dog.
It started barking at Stella.
Stella touched the dog’s head.
The little dog was so comfortable that it started whining and licking Stella’s hands.
Stella smiled happily. Jasper looked at her, and his eyes softened a little. However, he had already made up his mind. He turned around and pressed the button of the elevator.
Stella looked at his reflection on the elevator.
Both their eyes were on the elevator.
Stella lowered her eyes, turned around, and walked back to the room.
She took out her clothes and identification card from the bag. She sat on the bed and spaced out for a while. She suddenly remembered that she still had some matters to attend to, so she looked at her mobile phone. She realized that she still had not hung up the phone and the call was still connected.
She put the phone beside her ear and asked, “Allen, are you still there?”
“Yes,” Allen replied.
“I’m sorry. I ran into Jasper. I forgot about the call. Sorry, you are still at the airport, right? I’ll pick you up,” Stella then got up.
“It’s okay. We’re already in the car. We’ll arrive at your hotel soon,” Allen said softly.
He was a person with a high EQ, so he knew not to ask invasive questions that would make the situation awkward. Therefore, even though he knew that her relationship with Jasper had turned sour, he would not take the initiative to mention it.
“Well, it will probably take you an hour to reach here. Let’s have lunch together. I’ll show you around,” Stella said with a smile.
“I’ve already booked the room. We’ll talk when we’re there,” Allen then hung up the phone.
The weather was getting colder and she didn’t have many clothes to wear. She was going to be mingling with noblemen and their wives in a bit.
She still had less than an hour before Allen arrived, so she went to the shopping mall next door. She bought three sets of clothes and a set of cosmetics. When she returned to the hotel, she received a phone call from Allen. She put on light makeup and went down to the lobby.
Allen had already gone through the check-in procedure.
There were six of them. She recognized Allen and his grandmother. There was an old man which she assumed was Mr. Turner. Next to them were two young girls. She was shocked when she realized that one of them looked exactly like her mother.
Stella resembled Celine Grace, so that girl also looked about 60% similar to her past self.
She remembered that Allen’s grandmother once told her that her grandmother only had one child. Was there some sort of mistake?
“Natalie,” Allen shouted.
Stella came to her senses and said, “Hello, my name is Natalie Wheeler. I’m Allen’s friend.”
The old man looked at Stella from head to toe. Stella allowed him to look at her. She knew that he was analyzing whether she looked like his missus or not.
Allen then said with a smile, “Let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Turner. This is Joanna, and she’s Joanna’s daughter. The one who looks a little like your mother is your grandmother’s sister’s daughter.”
No wonder. Stella understood. “Why don’t you put your luggage in the room? I’ll wait for you in the hall. We’ll go out for lunch together later.”
“Okay. Allen, you should chat with Natalie. We’ll come down in a minute,” Allen’s grandmother said.
Allen stayed in the lobby with Stella.
Stella saw that they had six people, so they would not fit in an ordinary car. A 7-seater SUV would not be enough either. She then called Sean Yaleman. “Hey, I am now at the Intercontinental Hotel in A City. Could I borrow a car?”
Allen grabbed Stella’s phone with a smile and said, “Sorry, wrong number.”
“What’s wrong? I don’t have a car. I spent all my money on my yacht,” Stella explained.
“I have a car. It’s parked just outside. Did you forget? I told you before that I have investments here. A company that I invested in sent me a car,” Allen explained.
“By the way, how much money did you pay for the mercenaries?” Stella asked.
“Not much. Don’t worry about it. For me, the amount is insignificant,” Allen said with a smile.
“How much was it?”
Allen held her shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her. “You saved me twice. I would have been dead if it wasn’t for you. Please don’t let me owe you, okay?”
“But you’ve also helped me a lot.”
Allen smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal for me honestly. Well, you can thank me, and I would only thank you back. Don’t forget that you have promised to cook for me personally. I have not forgotten about it.”
“Alright. There is one more thing. Is Mr. Turner ready for the paternity test?” Stella turned around and looked at him. She also took the opportunity to get out of the hug without making things awkward.
“Mr. Turner definitely wants to be sure of this matter. However, you told me that you have undergone plastic surgery and bone marrow transplants. Could the paternity test still be done then?”
“Well, I’m ovulating these days. As long as they can extract my ovum, the paternity test should not be of any issue,” Stella nodded. She also thought it would be better to confirm it.
“Will you be in danger?” Allen was worried.
Stella shook her head and said, “No.”
“So, shall I arrange it tomorrow?” Allen asked for her opinion.
Stella nodded and said, “Okay.”
With a ‘ding’, the elevator doors opened. Stella heard Allen’s grandmother talking to Mr. Turner in the local dialect happily, “She’s beautiful, right? I like this girl. Maybe she can marry into our family. Then, my wish could finally be fulfilled.”
“Yes, yes, you’re right,” Mr. Turner said, and he looked visibly pleased.
Stella nodded to them and said, “Let’s go.”
Allen drove a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. It was a 9-seater and it was spacious. A driver was assigned to drive them around town.
“Please bring us to the A City Grand hotel,” Stella said. She looked at Allen and asked, “The food in A city is relatively sweet. Is there anyone here who can’t eat sweet food?”
“We have no problem with it, but Mr. Turner has gout. We will order something simple for him,” Allen’s grandmother interrupted.
“Okay,” Stella replied.
“Are you Allen’s girlfriend? You’re so beautiful,” The girl who looked like her mother said.
“Linda,” Allen introduced her to Stella and glanced at her. “Didn’t you always want to find a boyfriend from A Country? Now’s your time to shine.”
“You’re so annoying,” Linda stuck out her tongue, looking mischievous and cute at the same time.
