Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Other people may say bad things to hurt you, to make you feel uncomfortable or depressed. But you have to remember not to pay any attention to them and don’t let those people enter your life. Their opinions and words are only meant to hurt you and it doesn’t necessarily represent the truth. You don’t have to take it to heart,” Stella continued.

Eli nodded. Tears streamed down her face and her shoulders were trembling slightly.

“You must learn to be mature. We could always stay ignorant and have people protect us so that we could do whatever we want, but the people protecting us will get tired too. Don’t let the people who love you feel too tired,” Stella said gently.

Eli raised her head and looked at Stella. “What if I can’t do it?”

Stella smiled. “You could improve a little bit day by day, you will be happier as you work harder. Remember to take care of your mental state too. As long as you improve a little, you will be happy. A life with goals is a life well-lived and with meaning.”

Eli nodded. “I know that you’ll be going places, but will you call me when you are free?”

Stella gave Eli a deep look.

A white lie could only be used to soothe the minds of the people she loved.

She did not want Eli to be too sad, so she nodded and said, “I will send you a letter every now and then.”

Eli heaved a sigh of relief. “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

“That’s all for today. I will write other things to you through the letters,” Stella said gently.

“Okay,” Eli lowered her head and took a bite of the sandwich. “Are you going to travel with Bellamy?”

Stella shook her head. “Whenever I see him, I will think of Jasper. It makes me sad.”

“Alright, forget it then. You are so perfect, maybe you’ll find your true love when you travel around. By the way, Allen seems to be waiting for you.”

Stella smiled and said, “Allen and I are just friends. I still owe him a meal. I will treat him to dinner when I visit him.”

“Good. I think that you two are made for each other. Nothing is impossible as long as you live on. Look at me, I hated Sean so much in the past, but now we are in a relationship, it’s a miracle,” Eli sighed as she ate her sandwich. “There are still two days of the holidays left, how are you going to spend it?”

“I haven’t thought about it. I might just stay at home. I promised to do a psychological test for Anthony’s soldiers, but I haven’t finished grading their papers.”

“I should really follow in your footsteps. You’re an expert in psychology now, while I have almost forgotten everything I’d learned in my major. I’m just an Internet dweller now,” Eli said with shame.

When Stella saw Sean approaching, she smiled, “He is coming over. Could you see how worried he is about you?”

Eli turned around. Sean quickly walked up to her side and draped a coat over her shoulders. “Don’t catch a cold,” he advised. “You shouldn’t come out if you’re not going to wear more clothes.”

“I’m just showing off my strong body,” Eli said with a smile.

Sean looked at Stella and said, “Eli and I are going to the restaurant first. You could come in after an hour.”

“What? But I haven’t talked much with Stella yet. Could I go later too?” Eli complained.

“You are my assistant. What do you think?”

“I’m a fake assistant. Actually, it doesn’t matter if I go or not, right?” Eli asked tentatively.

Sean said helplessly, “Forget it. Just stay at home and have a good rest today then. Be a good girl.”

Eli hugged Stella’s arm happily. “Could I go shopping with Stella? I have not gone shopping with her in a long time.”

Sean tapped Eli’s head and said, “Don’t go too far. Stella still has things to do in the afternoon. You wouldn’t be done shopping in an hour and a half, would you?”

“What about tonight? Could we go out at night?” Eli asked pitifully.

Sean was silent as Eli looked at him with pleading eyes. She let go of Stella, held Sean’s hand, and said coquettishly, “I’ll get you some delicious food when I go out in the evening, okay?”

Sean looked at Stella and asked in a low voice, “Are you free tonight?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

She nodded.

Eli jumped up and down excitedly, “That’s great, my beloved man and my best friend are all by my side. This feels great.”

Sean gave Stella a meaningful look, his eyes darkening.

Stella smiled slightly. Like a free-flowing brook in the depths of the forest, her smile looked peaceful and natural.

Sean went ahead to the restaurant to make the final adjustments for the banquet. Stella became reserved once again as she listened to Eli talk about interesting games and Sean.

“I don’t think that Yvonne is in a good state recently. I saw her crying once,” Eli said in surprise.

“Well, she knows that Sean will get rid of an outsider like her once his powers are no longer threatened. She must be afraid of being abandoned by Sean. At critical times like this, you must learn to take better care of yourself, do you understand? The safest thing you could do now is to never leave Sean’s side,” Stella said worriedly.

“Sean will definitely take her with him when he goes to dinner. She will take the fake Natasha, and Sean will arrange for people to take care of me here. Since he has promised to let us go shopping at night, he will definitely make the necessary arrangements too,” Eli was assured.

Stella was an experienced person. She reminded her, “Nevertheless, you must always be careful. One small accident and you will suffer a great loss.”

Eli nodded, “When I left the country at that time, I learned self-defense from a middle-aged man. I am waiting for Sean to have some free time and I’ll ask him to teach me more things so that I could carry a gun by my side in the future.”

“Good,” Stella looked at the time. “I have to go now. I still have some matters to attend to.”

Eli made a phone gesture toward Stella, “Let’s keep in touch later.”

“Okay,” Stella walked to the door. Elvis was still there.

They then went to the restaurant together. Sean’s men waited at the door and they promptly took Stella to the room.

Inside the room, apart from Sean and his men, Samuel was lying on the chair with his eyes closed.

“He took your drugs and fell asleep. Will he be fine?” Sean asked.

“Some people may have strong willpower, so they won’t be easy to hypnotize. You should go first. I will let you know once I get the address,” Stella said.

“Okay,” Sean trusted Stella. After all, he already installed security cameras inside, so he left with his men.

Stella looked at the unconscious Samuel and gave him something to sniff. Samuel slowly opened his eyes.

Stella sat across him, knocked on the table rhythmically, and said, “When you woke up, you went to open the curtains. It was very dark outside, but you still have to go out, for there is something you need to do, and this is something only you can do.”

Samuel was scared and he started looking around. “You’re not dead?”

“Were you hoping that I didn’t die? If I didn’t die, then you would not have made a huge mistake. At least, you could still live a happy life. But, I am dead now, and you will not be able to keep your life too,” Stella said, and she knew that the person he saw was Darren.
