Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella felt uneasy, but she did not show it. Instead, she smiled and asked, “Why are you here?”

Jasper walked toward Stella and said, “I told you that my people have been silently protecting you, so I know where you are and what you are doing at all times.”

Stella’s heart sank at his words. She felt like she had been spied on. She requested, “Could you ask your men to stop following me? It makes me feel uncomfortable.”

“I’m worried that something might happen to you.” Jasper did not agree.

Stella chuckled and dismissed his worries, saying, “Nothing will happen. If something does happen, it will be fate. It doesn’t matter.”

“It matters to me,” Jasper said curtly and ended the topic. He then looked over at Master Olgic.

Master Olgic stood up politely and nodded slightly to Jasper, greeting him, “Mr. Milton, long time no see.”

Jasper also nodded to Master Olgic. “Long time no see.”

“The food here is delicious. Come, take a seat,” Stella said to Jasper.

Jasper did not say anything. He sat next to Stella, picked up her cup and drank the tea.

Master Olgic glanced at Jasper and frowned slightly.

Stella noticed something amiss and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Master Olgic smiled and shook his head. He didn’t want to say more.

The three of them remained quiet, and the atmosphere became tense.

Stella took a deep breath as she had nothing to say. Suddenly, she smiled bitterly and started a conversation. She turned to Master Olgic and asked, “Could I come for the scripture reading tomorrow? It sounds interesting.”

Jasper turned to look at Stella.

Stella noticed his gaze but she pretended to be oblivious.

“Of course,” Master Olgic answered.

“Could you give me an address and time?”

“I’ll give you my phone number. Then, we could contact each other when the time comes,” said Master Olgic.

Stella smiled happily and took out her mobile phone. “It seems that today is a lucky day for me to be able to get your phone number.”

Master Olgic also grinned and said, “I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.”

On the side, Jasper’s expression turned grimmer. He picked up the cup again and drank all the remaining tea in one gulp.

After a while, Bianca served the first dish: Greek salad.

“Master Olgic, please eat up,” Stella spoke with courtesy.

Master Olgic took a bite and commented, “It does taste very fresh.”

Very quickly, Bianca brought out the second dish, which was a cauliflower steak. She turned to Master Olgic and said, “I understand that your dietary requirements include egg whites but no yolk. So, we have only used egg whites in this dish.”

“Thank you for your thoughtfulness,” Master Olgic expressed his gratitude.

“You’re very welcome. I’m just doing my job,” Bianca said and then left in delight.

“Have you ever eaten meat before?” Stella asked curiously.

“Never. I was left on the church steps as an infant. My pastor saved me,” Master Olgic said.

“Have you ever thought about consuming meat?” Stella asked again.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Master Olgic smiled at her question and replied, “No. Vegetarian dishes satisfy me well enough. Why bother thinking about other things? I would rather put my focus somewhere else as long as I eat well enough to maintain my basic nutritional needs. In fact, eating less is good for your health.”

“Have you ever been in love before?” Stella asked again.

“No, I haven’t,” Master Olgic’s smile remained as he answered.

“Have you ever thought of falling in love with someone?”

“No. My life is fulfilling enough, to the point where I don’t need anything else. My love is unconditional and goes beyond relationships, which makes it more precious. The more love I have in me, the more I should love others.”

Stella carefully pondered over his words.

Unconditional love was more precious than emotional love.

Was she unable to love unconditionally? Was that why she was so caught up in her relationship problems?

At this moment, Bianca came over again and served the third dish: zucchini pasta.

“This is a seasonal dish. It’s only available now. When this season passes, it’ll be taken off the menu,” Biance explained as she introduced the dish.

“I see, thank you.”

Bianca then realized that another man had joined the table. She was so busy cooking that she had forgotten to serve him a cup of tea.

Hence, she immediately prepared a cup for Jasper and served him a fresh pot of tea.

“Thank you,” Stella said with a smile.

Bianca beamed at her and went back to cooking.

Stella and Master Olgic chatted away merrily during the meal. Meanwhile, Jasper sat at the side. He did not touch any of the food, nor did he speak. He just drank lots and lots of fruit tea.

They were about to go home after the meal.

Jasper got up first and walked out of the door.

Stella was upset after seeing Jasper’s behavior.

She knew that she hadn’t done anything wrong, but Jasper had given her a nasty look. His entire gloomy aura made her feel very frustrated.

After stepping out of the door, she turned to Jasper and said in a friendly tone, “I drove my own car here. I’ll send Master Olgic back later.”

Jasper gritted his teeth and turned his face away. Then, he got into his car and drove away first.

Stella let out a sigh at his indifferent attitude. She felt like the two of them were in different worlds.

Falling in love was easy, but getting along with each other was not.

Sometimes, trying to get along with a partner would exhaust the love they had for each other. Eventually all that would be left was hatred and frustration. In the end, they would part ways and never see each other again.

Perhaps, she and Jasper would have the same ending.

Her daily life was to guess people’s thoughts. In life, she only wanted to live freely and breathe freely.

Giving up was not necessarily a way out.

She did not want to think about it for the time being. She entered her car with Master Olgic as he sat in the front passenger seat.

“I think he is angry,” Master Olgic pointed out casually.

“His anger will hurt and affect others. But honestly, the person who will be hurt the most is himself. If he is unable to get out of it…” Stella paused and didn’t continue.

“It’s strange. You’ve successfully overcome your vices, but Mr. Milton’s vices seem to be worse than it was two years ago,” Master Olgic thought aloud while looking ahead.

“Life is a form of cultivation,” Stella said. “If you cultivate it well, you will be able to understand love and live comfortably with those around you. If you don’t cultivate it, and you don’t grow, then the negative emotions will repeat themselves. That’s my opinion,” She took a deep breath and started the car.

It was already late and the sky had darkened. The street lights were on, and the flickering lights fell on her elegant face.

Master Olgic looked at Stella. “Are you going to give up?”

Stella smiled at this and replied, “If you become a psychologist, your achievements will most likely be greater than mine. You understand human nature more than I do, and you know the rules better than I do.”

Master Olgic thought for a while and spoke, “We learn how to see through people as well. We believe that life is a cycle. When one dies in this life, he or she will reincarnate. If someone does good, he will receive it back in the next life. Similarly, an evil person will suffer from retribution for his evil deeds. If a person keeps doing good in every lifetime, then he will eventually be reincarnated into an angel and no longer suffer from the circle of life.”
