Chapter 72 It’s Still Warmest By His Side
Nina Chyl was so furious that she raised her hand and slapped Stella Grace.
Stella Grace took hold of Nina Chyl’s wrist and said, “Even if you cherish your son, you should not shame others’ daughter. Have you ever said a word when your son was fooling around outside? What gives you the rights to comment on someone else’s daughter?”
“Frederick, why are you still standing there? Beat her up. I’m not Nina Chyl if she does not admit defeat.” Nina Chyl yelled.
Stella Grace looked at Frederick Addington coldly, meeting his deep eyes.
“Stella, apologize.” Frederick Addington said in a commanding tone.
“Even if I want to apologize, it’s not towards you and your mother. You don’t deserve it.” Stella Grace stood her ground.
“Get a divorce, you must be divorced, Stella Grace, you b*tch, get out of this house. You won’t get a penny from Frederick.” Nina Chyl stamped her feet out of anger.
“Sure.” Stella Grace agreed.
Frederick Addington slapped Stella Grace on her face.
He did not have mercy in that strike across her face.
Stella Grace was swept to the ground. Her mind was blank, and she felt as if she saw stars. She was very dizzy.
Following the dizziness, she felt some warm liquid flowing out of her nose.
It took her a solid half a minute to recover from the shock.
For a moment there, she thought she would pass out.
She didn’t want to faint at Frederick Addington’s home, so she just looked at him, her eyes cold as ever with nothing but emptiness.
“If I still don’t teach you a lesson, I must be spoiling you.” Frederick Addington said angrily.
“Frederick, you did well. This kind of woman should be put in her place, or she won’t close her legs, wh*re.” Stella Grace was still fueled with fury.
“It’s time to apologize now, isn’t it?” Frederick Addington said sternly.
Stella Grace stood up straight, “You can beat me to death, but don’t even dream that I will beg for mercy from people like you.”
“Then don’t you want to think about your friend?” Frederick Addington said, his tone threatening.
Stella Grace paused for a moment.
Yes, she still had friends. She simply could not let her friends get into trouble because of her.
Stella Grace just smiled. She had been defeated.
Her sufferings at the moment was caused by her foolishness from before.
She shouldn’t have provoked a devil like Frederick Addington.
“I’m sorry.” Stella Grace looked down coldly and said.
“Get out of my sight. Don’t come here anymore, b*tch.” Nina Chyl roared.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Stella Grace left the premise without looking back.
When Frederick Addington saw her passing by, his heart felt as if it had been stung by a bee. He felt a mixture of pain, sourness, and panic.
“Frederick, this kind of woman is not for you. You should divorce her as soon as possible. I won’t have any objections to you marrying Felicia Chuck. It’s better than that woman.” His mother said irritably.
“Mom, Stella is nice, just a little stubborn. She is quite sensible most of the time. You can give her a chance to get in touch slowly.” Frederick Addington looked out of the house.
Stella Grace had left. He also wanted to leave with her.
“What’s nice about her? She slapped me twice and my face is still red thanks to her. Didn’t you see that? I can’t believe she slapped me twice. I can’t let her go easily. The divorce must be done.” Nina Chyl insisted.
“Didn’t you slap her twice as well?” Frederick Addington attempted to coax his mother in a gentle manner.
“I’m an elder to her, by right I can even beat her to death.”
“Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right. I also lent a hand to beat her. She even had a nosebleed from that. Let’s cool down, mom. At worst, I can go back and beat her again until she can’t get out of bed. That’s sounds good enough for you?” Frederick Addington said with a smile plastered on his face.
“I really don’t know why do you not want to divorce that woman!” Nina Chyl didn’t understand.
“I’m the Deputy Chief of the Health Department now. If I get divorced, won’t it affect my future?”
“Don’t worry. On one hand, you got married secretly, only a few people know about it. On the other hand, even if you divorce, I’ll put in a few words to the President. He won’t refuse to promote you. He may even appoint you to a more important position in future.” Nina Chyl sighed.
“I’ll see. Alright, mom, don’t be mad anymore. I’ll apply some ointment on your face. Otherwise, my mother’s beautiful face will be damaged.” Frederick Addington let go of his mother and walked towards the refrigerator.
A loud rumble was heard.
A thunder stroke across the sky outside.
The sky suddenly became gloomy and dark.
Frederick Addington looked out of the window worriedly.
This place rarely had cabs passing by, and there was no public transport. Stella Grace should not have gone far.
“Mom, it’s going to rain soon. It’s time for me to go back.” Frederick Addington said.
“No, I do not approve. Let that b*tch suffer a little so she won’t go against me in the future. Come treat my face, hurry up.” Nina Chyl said domineeringly.
Frederick Addington took a glance out of the window, and his gaze became more fierce. He did not go out, but took out the ice cubes from the refrigerator.
Stella Grace was walking on the road.
Raindrops trickled down her nose and she looked up at the sky. It was dark, as if it was hinting the emergence of a storm soon.
Compared with Frederick Addington, that devil, a little rain really couldn’t bother her.
She called for an Uber, but the closest available was half an hour away.
They were afraid that the passenger would cancel the request because of the long waiting time, so they didn’t want to come over.
She could only continue to walk forward.
Barely two minutes in, it started raining heavily. Raindrops violently fell on her small, frail figure. It did not take long before she was drenched from head to toe.
She thought of finding a place to take shelter from the rain, but it seemed that this storm would not stop for a while. She could only walk to the road and try her luck to see if there was anyone who would give her a ride.
A car stopped beside her. Jasper Milton put down the window and said, “Get in.”
When Stella Grace saw that it was Jasper Milton, she instinctively rejected. “No thanks.”
Jasper Milton took off his suit, opened the door and was about to come out into the rain.
She knew that she couldn’t fight against him, she didn’t want him to get wet in the rain. Thus, she opened the door hurriedly and got into his car.
Jasper Milton saw her face and a gleam flashed in his eyes. He pinched her chin and turned her face.
Her face was red and swollen, and she had her fingers were tightly clenched.
He gritted his teeth, feeling distressed and angry. “Who hit you? Frederick? How dare you lie to me that you love each other very much!”
She saw how he cared about her in his eyes, her eyes were almost tearing.
She was so exhausted now that she didn’t want to fight against her own heart, so she stayed silent.
Jasper Milton handed her the suit. “Put it on. Don’t catch a cold.”
“Okay.” Stella Grace put on his clothes over her damp ones.
His clothes were still warm from his body temperature, comfortingly warm.
She straightened her clothes a little and leaned against the chair to look at him.
“Don’t you want to say why you gave in to Frederick Addington? Or do you really want me to go mad?” Jasper Milton gave her a domineering stare.
Stella Grace was moved and the redness in her eyes darkened. She said softly, “Jasper, hadn’t I met you, I would have been in despair.”
Jasper Milton heard defeat in her words. He turned his face and held her cold hand. “Leave everything to me. I’ll handle it thoroughly.”
Tears burst out of her eyes and trailed down to her lips. It was salty. She looked out of the window.
She could be destroyed on her own, and because she liked him, she didn’t want to bring him down with her.
“Jasper Milton, how long have we known each other?” Stella Grace asked, her tone calm and quiet.
“I’ve already answered this question before, ask something else.” Jasper Milton answered.
“Ha.” Stella Grace laughed dryly and pulled her hand back. She turned her face away, tears streaming down her face quietly.
