Chapter 704 Everything Is Done
“Actually, you don’t really like me, you just think that you like me. A lot of twins have listened to too much pseudo-science and feel like twins would tend to like the same thing or the same person. Then, they would subconsciously approach the thing or person that they both like,” Stella turned around and told Bellamy.
“Do you think that I like you because I tried to convince myself into liking you?”
“It’s the same as telling yourself you aren’t drunk even though you knew that you couldn’t tolerate alcohol well. You’ll drink even more because you think you aren’t drunk. This is a psychological hint,” Stella explained firmly.
“If psychological hints are so powerful, why don’t you convince yourself into not liking Jasper, so that you could continue living happily?” Bellamy retorted.
Stella showed a bitter smile. “Did you really think I didn’t try? Not only did I try that, I even hypnotized myself. I let my second personality become the master of my body; to be cold, determined, strong, and free from other’s harm, but my second personality also fell in love with him.”
Bellamy could not help but look at Stella in astonishment. This was something he did not know about. “So are you the number one or number two right now?”
“The difference between the first and second personality is that when I am the first personality, whenever the second personality appears, the first personality’s memories will go blank and I won’t remember what I’ve done. The second personality will know everything that the first personality has done. Now, I remember everything. So, it’s either I am still the first personality, or I have already cured myself,” Stella said calmly.
“So, what you’re trying to say is that psychological hints are useless,” Bellamy said deeply.
Stella was at a loss for words.
“You’re great at talking. It’s a pity that you’re not a lawyer,” Stella said. She turned around and continued to look at the lake.
Bellamy smiled and nudged her with his shoulder. “Are you angry? Alright, I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
Stella remained silent.
Bellamy stood in front of her and said, “Could I perform a magic trick for you?”
Stella did not say anything.
He took out a hundred dollar note from his wallet and folded it into the shape of a small rose. “Look, it’s not in my hands anymore, right? Look.”
He reached behind her neck, took out a rose, and handed it to her. “How did this end up on you?”
Stella was still looking at him steadily. “Are you sure that you’re Jasper’s older brother, and not his younger brother?”
Bellamy was speechless.
“I think that we should become lawyers and work together. We will definitely be unbeatable.” He shoved the rose into Stella’s hand. “I am the older brother, Jasper is the younger one.”
“You look exactly like Jasper. Perhaps your father has made a mistake,” Stella said and she stuffed the rose back into his pocket. “I know that the money was in your hands the whole time. I have seen this trick plenty of times.”
“Ha, it seems that having a smart wife is not all good news,” Bellamy sighed.
“So, you should find a stupid girl who will take you seriously and listen to what you say all the time. She will be touched by what you have done, and she will admire everything you do. Such a girl is more suitable for you,” Stella said seriously.
He did not retort, because he did not want to put pressure on Stella.
He did not fall in love with her from psychological hints. He fell in love while he was with her. “Let’s walk for another round before heading back, alright? It’s too cold outside, your face is already red from the cold.”
“Okay,” Stella said. She slowly walked ahead and she did not say anything.
At this moment, Bellamy’s phone rang.
He realized that it was Samuel’s landline number. He thought that his men had something to report to him, so he answered the call.
“Bellamy, why did you imprison Samuel?” Tinley asked anxiously.
As soon as Bellamy heard Tinley’s voice, he said irritably, “I don’t need to report this to you.”
“I have already called the police,” Tinley said angrily.
“Okay,” Bellamy answered calmly, then he hung up the phone.
After thinking about it, he called Jackson. “I have a mission for you, take Tinley away. I don’t want her to take another step into A Country again. You should know what to do, right?”
“Chief, are you on bad terms with Samuel?” Jackson asked worriedly.
“It’s not that, but he tried to sow discord between me and Sean by killing Sean’s most trusted man, Darren. He even collaborated with Larry. Everything he has done is unforgivable. If Tinley stays in the country, the only thing she will see is Samuel’s eventual death. She would only be sadder then. Don’t you love her? Take her away,” Bellamy said in a low voice.
After he said that, he hung up the phone.
Stella roughly learned about Tinley’s situation through the phone.
Love was a type of obsession.
She was glad that at the very least, she and Jasper loved each other. This experience was worth it.
She had slept too much during the day, so she was not feeling too tired. She stayed in the study room to review papers.
As usual, Bellamy accompanied her and helped her out.
She was very focused on her work. It seemed that she was no longer silent and sad.
He believed that as long as Stella had a will to live, she would one day accept him. It would be fine even if she did not accept him. Companionship was the best confession one could make to a loved one.
Time passed by. The clock rang twelve times at midnight.
Stella looked up at the clock. She put down the pen in her hand and said, “I’m going to rest.”
“Alright.”
Stella led the way, and Bellamy followed from behind.
She stopped and looked at him. “In my eyes, you are only my husband’s brother.”
“I know, don’t worry. You know that I won’t do anything to you, right?” Bellamy smiled and said firmly.
Stella thought about it and agreed. She recalled how he had refused her even though she was the one who had the initiative back then.
She continued to walk forward and returned to her room. She took a change of clothes to the bathroom and locked the door. She showered, got dressed, and came out.
Bellamy was already lying on the sofa. He told Stella, “I will sleep here from now on. I’ll remember to put it back in the daytime.”
Stella walked to the cabinet and took a quilt, blanket, and pillow. She helped Bellamy make his bed.
Bellamy watched her make the bed, and his heart was filled with warmth. This was perfect and he was satisfied.
Stella helped him make his bed, and she said distantly, “Thank you, Mr. Chuck.”
It seemed that she was deliberately emphasizing his true identity.
Bellamy lowered his eyes and said, “Go to sleep first. Good night.”
Stella nodded. She got onto her bed and turned towards the window with her back facing him.
Eli had Sean to take care of her and they would soon be married.
Suzi would have Lynette’s company. Bellamy was an excellent man and he would surely be able to find a suitable woman.
Dante had his adoptive parents to take care of him. Ralph would soon be reunited with Suzi too.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
She would not have any more regrets even if she were to leave the world right now.
Jasper had been waiting for her for a long time and they were going to meet again very soon.
Stella smiled and closed her eyes. She looked exceptionally calm and serene.
