Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Stella hung up the phone.

Happiness?

What was happiness?

Some might say that happiness meant having everything that you wanted.

Some might say that happiness would be to have family, affection, love, friendship, career, money, and status.

In Stella’s view, that was the perfection of an idealist.

If having everything was happiness, then the vast majority of people wouldn’t be happy.

She didn’t think that it was necessarily like that.

She thought that happiness was a feeling similar to the sense of oneself.

For those who were easily satisfied, it was easy for them to find happiness.

For example, some people would be happy just to be able to have food on their table.

While some people could eat as much as their hearts’ content, but still be unhappy.

Some people would feel happy just to receive a hug from their loved ones.

While some people would still feel unhappy even when their loved ones were always by their side.

What was happiness to her?

In fact, she didn’t need other people’s care, nor did she need other people’s help. She was used to living by herself.

Being together with Allen, she needed to be considerate and change her habits accordingly. She needed to avoid the things that he couldn’t touch. She needed to restrict herself, and she couldn’t just live her life as she wished.

She didn’t feel happy at all. She got together with Allen solely because she didn’t want him to feel unhappy. To be with him for the rest of her life was just something she had to accept.

Stella got up lazily after lying in the bathtub for half an hour. She dried her body and prepared to put on her clothes. Seeing that there was nothing on the clothes rack, she paused for a moment.

She was in a daze before taking a bath and she had forgotten to bring in a new change of clothes.

There were other men living in the house, so she couldn’t possibly go out naked.

She took a bath towel, wrapped herself with it, and went out.

Jasper was pouring water. He turned around and looked at her with deep eyes.

Whenever they met, he would always want to look at her more. Somehow, no matter how long he looked at her, he just could not get enough. Perhaps it was because their next farewell might be their last.

Stella felt a little embarrassed when she saw him, and said, “Uh, I forgot to bring a change of clothes.”

“Sure,” Jasper replied in a heavy voice. In order to save her from the embarrassment, he turned around and went into his room.

Stella went upstairs and back to her room. She wasn’t in a hurry to change into her clothes. She just plopped herself onto the bed. After a while, with a heavy heart, she got up and went to the cupboard to take her clothes and put them on. Then, she lay on the bed again.

She was too tired that day, so she didn’t light a scented candle. She closed her eyes tiredly and soon fell asleep.

In a daze, she arrived on an isolated island and saw a man sitting on a reef of only one square meter large.

He looked at her deeply and said nothing, but his eyes seemed to speak a thousand words.

She walked towards him slowly and saw that it was Jasper’s face, she asked, “It’s you?”

He still didn’t say anything, and he just kept looking at her with his gentle eyes.

“Why won’t you talk?” Stella asked again.

He still didn’t say anything.

“What do you want to say? How would I know if you don’t tell me?” Stella frowned.

“Take care,” Jasper said those two words.

Stella’s heart sank and she opened her eyes. It turned out to be a dream.

Why did she dream of him?

She got up, brushed her teeth, and washed up. When she opened the door, she could smell the fragrance of scrambled eggs wafting from the kitchen.

She walked towards the kitchen subconsciously.

Allen was cooking inside. When he saw Stella, he smiled and said, “I made some scrambled eggs. Try it.”

“Why are you up so early?” Stella smiled and asked.

“It’s already 8 a. m., it’s not early,” Allen said. “By the way, Black left early in the morning with Gracie. He told me to thank you for taking care of him and buying the doghouse.”

“Did he already leave?” Stella muttered.

“Yeah, he was already getting ready when I got up. Since you were still sleeping, he told me to thank you on his behalf. Give a moment, I’ll get a glass of milk for you,” Allen said cheerily.

Stella went to the dining table in a trance and took a seat. Then, she remembered that she needed to water the flowers.

She got up again and went to the courtyard to water the flowers. While she was watering the flowers, she felt as though she had some unfinished business. After thinking about it, she realized that maybe because she didn’t make breakfast, and that might be the reason why she felt like she had something to do.

She went back into the house after she was done watering the flowers. Allen stood at the door and looked at her with a smile, “Are you tired?”

Stella shook her head, “How could I get tired from just this? Do you think I’m an old lady who is close to a hundred years old?”

“Wash your hands and let’s have breakfast.” Allen turned around and went back to the kitchen.

The scrambled eggs were no longer piping hot, which were quite suitable for a meal in the summer.

Stella ate the eggs quietly while Allen looked at her with satisfaction.

She looked up at Allen and smiled. “Yes?”

“Are you coming back to have lunch?” Allen asked softly.

Stella nodded. “I might. I have to tend to patients in the morning and the afternoon, but I should have enough time to go out with you. Where do you want to go?”

“Don’t worry about that. I don’t want you to get too tired. You’d better rest at home like how you usually would. Besides, I noticed that you have scented candles. If you’d like to, you could light them up. Don’t change your habits because of me.  I will try my best to adapt to yours,” Allen said.

Stella was very moved. “Allen, when two people are together, they adapt to each other instead of only having one of them sacrifice. It’s okay, habits could be changed into another habit.”

She held his hand and said, “I’m going to work soon. I’ll leave this place to you then.”

Allen said with a smile, “Oh, okay. I’ll be here.”

After Stella finished her breakfast, she handed everything to Allen and drove to her company.

As soon as she reached the company, Archer came over with a notebook. “Stella, I’ve received a total of 120 calls over the past few days. I can’t do anything else because I have to keep answering the phone. What do I do? Do you want to treat these patients?”

Stella glanced at the notebook and remembered something. She asked Archer, “Is there a call from a guy called Black?”

“Black, let me have a look, I think there is,” Archer browsed through the notebook and said, “Found it. There really is such a person. Why? Do you want to treat this patient?”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Stella took the notebook, looked at the caller ID, and dialed the number.

“Hello,” Jasper’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“It’s Stella,” Stella said as she took a deep breath, “I recalled that you wanted me to treat you. I’m free at 4 p. m. later today. Would you like to come over?”

Jasper fell silent.

Stella did not hang up either.

“Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t treat me?” Jasper asked, breaking the silence.

“I was not familiar with you at that time. Now that we have been through life and death together, our relationship has changed. For the sake of friendship, I will treat you,” Stella said with a smile.

“Stella,” Jasper said.

When her name came out of his mouth, her heart skipped a beat.

“See you in the afternoon,” Jasper said softly and hung up the phone.

“See you in the afternoon,” Stella muttered as she looked at the air. If she succeeded in treating Jasper, perhaps, she would not feel like she owed him anything anymore…
