Chapter 705 The Last Peaceful Life
Stella had a good sleep and woke up naturally the next day. The smell of poached eggs and sausages filled her nose. She smiled.
Bellamy’s mood got much better once he saw her smile. “Are you hungry?”
Stella nodded. She went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and washed herself before heading downstairs.
“Did I wake you up?” Suzi felt guilty.
“No, I was already awake,” Stella looked towards the dining table.
Suzi made some pancakes, sausages, poached eggs, mushrooms, bacon, and toasted sourdough.
“It looks delicious,” Stella took a bite of the pancakes. “Mmm, it’s so fluffy and soft. Mom, you are so good at cooking.”
“I’m glad that you like it. I’ve made some tomato soup too. I’ve just heated it, and it’s still a little hot,” Suzi reminded her.
“Okay, I’ll get a bowl of the soup too then,” Stella said.
“Sure, have as much as you want,” Suzi said as she glanced towards Bellamy.
“Mom,” Bellamy called.
“Give me a moment. Yours is almost done too. Would you like to have maple syrup or blueberry jam on your pancakes?” Suzi asked with a smile.
“Anything is fine for me,” Bellamy said.
Suzi was about to go into the kitchen when she saw Elvis coming over. She called him enthusiastically, “Elvis, would you like to have maple syrup or blueberry jam on your pancakes?”
“Maple syrup please,” Elvis laughed.
“Just a moment, I will make yours in a bit,” Suzi went to the kitchen happily.
Stella looked at them and smiled. They seemed to be living a good life and it was a warm scene.NôvelDrama.Org content.
Elvis walked to the table and nodded respectfully. “Chief, Mrs. Milton, everyone from Dark Shadow is here. Not one of them is missing.”
Stella was smiling, but her eyes were teary. “That’s great. Help me prepare some gifts.”
“Okay. I will have a meeting with them now. Please leave a pancake for me,” Elvis said happily. He then turned around and left.
“What do the soldiers usually eat?” Bellamy asked.
“Elvis is the one who usually arranges for their food. I have never meddled in that. Why do you ask?” Stella was puzzled.
“Mom is getting old, and we have to go to work soon. Lynette is still in the hospital, so I’ve found someone to do the chores. If she has to prepare the Dark Shadow’s meals, I’ll have to call two more people to come over to make them,” Bellamy explained.
“You could ask Elvis about the soldiers’ meals later. Getting two more people over is great. Lynette will need someone to take care of her when she gets discharged from the hospital too. Mom needs to start paying attention to her health. You could discuss it with her later,” Stella said softly as she continued to eat her breakfast.
All of a sudden, her cell phone rang.
She saw that it was from Sean. She answered it in front of Bellamy.
“Is Bellamy beside you?” Sean asked.
“Yes, he’s here.”
“The two of you should come over at 11 a. m. I’m holding a feast in A City Restaurant and I have invited more than 100 guests. Parker has informed everyone else. When are you going to give me the drug?”
“I will ask Elvis to send it to you later. Will Eli be there?” Stella asked thoughtfully.
“Of course, she is still my assistant. Should I arrange a time for the two of you to catch up with each other?” Sean knew the reason behind her question.
Stella smiled and said, “Yes, please.”
“One more thing. I have checked on your subordinate and she is recovering very well. Do you still need to give her plastic surgery or should we keep her appearance as it is?”
“Just keep it as it is. After all, appearance is not everything, right?” Stella said with a smile.
“Great minds think alike. Alright, I have other things to do. I’ll talk to you soon.”
“Okay,” Stella hung up the phone and told Bellamy, “Sean invited us to go to A City Restaurant at 11 a. m.”
Suzi came out of the kitchen and handed Bellamy a pancake. “I’ve drizzled maple syrup on the pancake. Stella, would you like to try the blueberry jam this time?”
“Yes please, Mom,” Stella said.
“Mom, I want one with blueberry jam too,” Bellamy said.
“Okay,” Suzi went to make more pancakes happily.
Elvis returned half an hour later and gobbled down the breakfast made by Suzi. He could not help but praise, “It’s really delicious. I think that I am drowning in happiness.”
Stella put the drug in a box and handed it to Elvis. “Please take this to the President’s Mansion once you’re done eating. Remember, you have to hand it over to Sean personally.”
“Consider it done,” Elvis replied with certainty.
Stella knew that he was reliable and trustworthy.
“May I know what this drug is for?” Bellamy asked in surprise.
“It’s a psychedelic. To put it simply, it is for patients who intend to get hypnotized,” Stella explained.
“Hypnosis? Who needs it?” Bellamy asked.
“Sean has invited a lot of officials to this feast, the main target being Samuel. He wants to know where Darren’s body is.”
“Stella, I am a bit worried,” Bellamy said thoughtfully.
“About?”
“I’ve told Samuel that I would tell Sean about this and that Sean had vowed to punish him. Now that Sean is inviting him over for a meal, I’m afraid that he might do something crazy during the feast. For example, he might tell Sean that I am Bellamy,” he said worriedly.
“You will not be able to conceal your identity of not being the real Jasper forever.”
“The problem is that you’ve told him I am Jasper. Would Sean think that we are deliberately deceiving him? From my understanding, he is a cynic. He asked me when we were going to leave the country. I believe that he is very wary of me.”
“What are you implying then?” Stella looked at Bellamy.
“Sean’s purpose of holding the feast is to find out where Darren’s body is. We could just do that with a private interrogation,” Bellamy proposed.
Stella was silent. She took a deep breath and said, “Bellamy, tell me, do you want to be the President?”
“If you want me to leave with you, I will follow you immediately,” Bellamy said in a deep voice as he looked at her with a firm gaze.
“So, you don’t want to be the President then?” Stella asked.
“That depends on whether you want it or not,” Bellamy threw her question back to her.
“Okay then. However, if we interrogate him behind Sean’s back, Sean will become even more suspicious. I will take care of this matter. I will first go to the President’s Mansion and meet up with Sean.”
“Stella, don’t trust Sean too much. He is willing to kill his own father for power,” Bellamy reminded.
“That was because he was weighing the pros and cons. He is not an unreasonable person.”
“Therefore, he allowed Quinn to drop the bomb on my plane. If he knew that I was Bellamy, he would think that we lied to him, and he won’t let me go. He would also think that we only told him the truth because we could no longer conceal it. Stella, trust me, do not trust anyone other than ourselves,” Bellamy said earnestly.
