Stella Grace breathed a sigh of relief, “Sean doesn’t want anything to happen to you either. He needs you to balance out the power of Christian.”
“Christian is arrogant and domineering, Sean could no longer suppress him. Once Christian gets elected to become President in the next two years, Sean will be the first to suffer,” Jasper Milton analyzed.
“So, it was the best choice for Eli to leave. With her character, she is not suitable to be involved in political struggles.” Stella sighed and looked at Jasper gloomily.
It was not the right time to say these words now. After all, his comrades were coming over. If she were to ask him to leave with her, the gathering would become a gloomy farewell.
It was better to talk about it after they got back.
Jasper held Stella’s hand tightly and they looked at each other. Thousands of words remained in silence.
He wanted her to leave so that he could protect her, but he knew that she would not listen to him. If she was reluctant, she would run away secretly.
He knew her well, so he tolerated, compromised, and said nothing.
Stella leaned against Jasper’s shoulder, took a deep breath, and looked ahead.
It was a sunny day. The sun penetrated through the window and shone on their body. It was warm.
She closed her eyes to rest. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep.
Jasper kissed her forehead and let her lean on his body. He held her shoulder with his other hand, afraid that she would fall.
After a while, they arrived at the restaurant.
“Mom, go up first and entertain them well. I’ll get a room in the hotel nearby and let Natalie take a nap,” Jasper said in a low voice.
“Okay, this girl is more rational and stronger than I am. My heart aches to see her like this too,” Suzi Shine looked at Stella and sighed. Then, she opened the door and went out.
When Jasper picked Stella up, she opened her eyes and said, “Are we here?”
“I’ll bring you to take a nap in the hotel first,” Jasper said softly.
“It’s okay, it’s just for a while. I’m hungry. Put me down,” Stella said.
Jasper put her down and looked at her worriedly.
He remembered that she had almost lost her baby when she accompanied him the last time. He was worried about her body.
Stella patted him on the shoulder and said, “I’m much better after sleeping for a while just now. I don’t feel any pain in my belly. It’s okay, let’s go. Your friends are waiting for you.”
She held his arm and took him away.
Jasper looked at her little figure and said, “I seem to still owe you a wedding. When we go back this time, let’s choose a date and hold a ceremony.”
“Let’s talk about it when we go back. No hurry,” Stella didn’t agree directly.
In fact, she really wanted to leave with him as soon as possible.
They went into the restaurant together. Stella glanced around and realized that there were around 20 people present. They didn’t seem to be the members of Dark Shadow.
It made sense. How could the members of Dark Shadow be exposed to the public?
They were probably Jasper’s subordinates in the military area.
“Chief, Madam,” Anthony Levis saluted them.
It seemed that Anthony’s position was the highest among them. The others also saluted after him.
Jasper raised the corner of his mouth slightly, “Thank you for your hard work, everyone. We don’t have to be as restrictive here as we usually are in the military area.”
“Okay,” Anthony smiled and looked at Stella, “Madam, you’re really amazing. If it weren’t for you, I would have driven a plane or a tank to save the Chief. We have attained the best ending. Our Chief was rescued without using force. Hahaha, you even defeated Zoahs and Christian. Bravo.”
Stella grinned softly.
Others thought that she was amazing, but only she knew the coincidence in the case. If it weren’t for Frederick not appearing in court and Bettany not having seen him in the end, the latter would not have been disheartened and decided to turn against him at the very last minute.
If Frederick had reciprocated even a little of her feelings, according to Bettany’s character, she would definitely have died for Frederick, just so that he could remember her.
Honestly, she couldn’t understand Bettany’s affection towards Frederick. She knew that Frederick was a playboy and that he didn’t love her.
What a morbid love it was.
However, only the wearer knew where the shoes were pinched, so outsiders should not comment on others’ affections.
Jasper sat down with her in his arms.
Elvis Zachery praised, “You guys have no idea how delicious the Madam’s cooking is, especially her fish soup. I miss it so much. We have agreed to have the fish soup yesterday.”
“I’ll order some fish soup for you then,” Anthony said.
“The fish soup from the restaurant is not as delicious as the one made by the Madam. It’s so fragrant and delicious. If you don’t believe me, you could ask Chief Levis, he has tried it before too,” Elvis flattered her.
Everyone turned to look at Anthony.
Anthony nodded and said, “It’s really delicious. That fish feast was the best I’ve ever eaten. I still remember it until now and I doubt I will forget it for the rest of my life.”
Stella was embarrassed to be praised by them, “It’s because the fish was fresh.”
“We want to try too,” the soldiers chimed in.
“Come to my place to have some fish soup tomorrow evening then. I’ll fish during the day. The fish in the winter is particularly fresh. I’ll cook the soup right after I catch it, so it will be very delicious,” Stella said with a smile.
“If it’s in the evening, we’ll need the Chief’s approval,” Anthony looked at Jasper.
“Just come over tomorrow evening, but you have to go back for training at night after dinner. No one is allowed to drink. Also, I have a mission for you all tomorrow night,” Jasper said in a low voice.
“Yes, Chief,” Everyone saluted again.
With all the soldiers, the atmosphere was bright and lively. Everyone was very happy.
However… their jokes were quite disgusting occasionally.
Stella was a shy person.
Jasper cleared his throat, “Hey, there’s a lady here.”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Stella didn’t know what they were laughing at, but her intuition told her that they were making some dirty jokes.
“Please continue eating. Natalie and I will go back first. You guys are not allowed to drink, else I will punish you according to military law,” Jasper supported Stella to stand up.
“Haha, our Chief is a real man. He couldn’t hold it in anymore.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. We are going back to sleep,” Jasper corrected.
“Oh, you are going to sleep…” They started to cheer again.
“They really are going to sleep. Don’t think too much. The Madam is pregnant,” Elvis explained for them.
“Chief, you’re really awesome. The Madam is already pregnant. Well, do you have to wait for three months to have sex again?”
“Chief, please be gentle.”
“Ouch.”
They started to tease the couple again.
“Just ignore them,” Jasper whispered to Stella and turned around with her in his arms.
She heard their final conversation.
“I think that the Madam must be less than three months pregnant. If that’s the case, Chief will have a hard time holding back as he is full of energy and vigor.”
“What do you know? I don’t have a microphone but I have my throat.”
“Huh? Throat?”
“He means mouth, id*ot.”
The crowd burst into laughter again.
Her face was as red as an apple and she didn’t know whether Jasper had heard it.
However, she could feel his arms tightening around her waist…
