Chapter 86 Give Them A Chance, It Will Ease Your Road In Future
When Stella Grace was about to get off from work, Frederick Addington called her.
She felt annoyed and asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”
“See you at the main door after work. I’m already here.” Frederick seemed to be in a good mood.
“If we see each other today, we would have seen each other twice this week. Tomorrow is the weekend. You won’t call me again, will you?” Stella asked to confirm.
“Ha.” Frederick said with a chuckle, “Don’t worry, I’ll do as I said.”
“I’ll come out soon.” Stella frowned. She threw her mobile phone into her bag and went out.
Eli Wayne walked over. “Where are you going? Don’t you want to go home with me?”
“I have something to deal with. I’ll go home after three hours,” Stella explained.
When she went out, Frederick was standing next to his car, wearing sunglasses and a golden suit. He was a little eye-catching, especially the roses in his hand. He handed them to her and smiled confidently. “Here you are.”
Stella didn’t want to talk nonsense with him either. She took the flowers in his hand and threw them into the trash can.
“Where are we going?” She looked at her cell phone and began to count down.
Frederick opened the door and said with a haughty look, “Get in the car.”
Stella sat in the passenger seat, put on her own safety belt, took out a jewellery box from her bag, and threw it into his car’s glove compartment.
“Aren’t you good at throwing things away? You don’t want the jewelry, you can just throw it away, like the flowers.” Frederick looked at the front and said.
“If you want me to compensate for the flowers, I can afford it. But I can’t afford to pay you back the jewelry.” Stella leaned against the chair and looked at the front indifferently.
“Stella, you’re good at everything, but you’re too stubborn and don’t know how judge situations. You’ll regret for your attitude now.” Frederick suddenly glanced at Stella and said thoughtfully.
“We’ll see.” She said dismissively, she didn’t even look at Frederick.
“Jasper should have told you already.” Frederick suddenly said.
“Told me what?” Stella turned to him.
“The date of his engagement to Katty has been fixed. On the 9th, next month, it will happen. Based on Katty’s fiesty , she will give you an invitation card.”
Stella looked at Frederick in disbelief. “Are you kidding?”
The corners of Frederick’s mouth curled up and he put on some music casually. “Ah, I see now, Jasper didn’t tell you.”
“If he didn’t tell me personally, I won’t believe it. You don’t have to try to sow discord between us,” Stella said resolutely.
Frederick frowned. “Why didn’t you trust me that much before?”
“Wouldn’t you say I was right not to trust you?” Stella asked sarcastically.
Frederick suddenly smiled. “At least, I didn’t lie to you or hide things. If I had not wanted you to know, did you think you could have found me so easily all the time?”
“You just did not want to hide from me. How can I not understand?”
Stella did not want to think about the past.
“Fine, I’ll give you this opportunity to ask Jasper face to face.” Frederick drove on.
Stella was on guard. “Frederick, what do you mean?”
“Today is my grandfather’s birthday. I’ll take you there for a meal. Of course, if you don’t want to go, I’ll let you watch a good show in the surveillance room. Didn’t you not believe me? Since you don’t believe me, I’d better let you see the truth.” Frederick said with certainty.
Stella frowned and didn’t say anything.
She had decided to believe that Jasper Milton had not lied to her.
However, she could see it with her own eyes, she could prove that her trust was right.
She believed that Jasper would give them a slap in the face, if anyone told her about Jasper and Katty Davis again.
Although she did not believe it, it did not mean that she did not care.
She didn’t like to listen to those rumors, which made her uncomfortable.
Instead of taking Stella to the banquet hall, Frederick took her to the surveillance room.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Frederick’s grandfather was the retired Deputy Commander of the Committee of Discipline Inspection. Although he had retired, he had quite a formidable reputation. There were many politicians and entrepreneurs present.
Even so, Stella still spotted Jasper, who was outstanding amongst the crowd.
He was dressed in a black suit with a distinctive symbol on it. The golden coat of arms, in particular, made him look handsome and heroic.
Katty was also there, wearing a strapless fishtail dress, holding his arm and standing next to him.
They were a perfect match for each other.
Stella frowned.
“Today, my grandfather will announce their marriage to everyone present. Do you want to ask Jasper about this in advance?” Frederick suddenly suggested. The corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of evil charm.
Stella admitted that she could not remain so calm when she saw Katty and Jasper standing so close to each other.
There were a million reasons rushing through her her mind, to persuade herself that they were just friends.
However, normal friends would not be holding on to each others’ arms.
Stella took out her mobile phone from her bag, and with eyes locked on the screen, she called Jasper.
She saw Jasper take out his mobile phone to have a look.
He did not answer the phone. Instead, he turned his phone on silent mode and put it back into his pocket.
His behavior had proved that he didn’t want to answer her call now.
Stella’s heart sank, as if there was a big stone pressing on it. She felt suffocated and her mind went blank.
She put down her phone and stared at Jasper on the screen.
Frederick sat at the table in front of her. “Stella, I’m wondering if you would still love me if I played tricks like him. If I did, you would never even had known that I had a woman outside.” He said cynically.
Stella turned to look at him, “I want to go into the banquet hall.”
Frederick suddenly smiled. “Think about it. If you go in and make a big fuss this time, not only Jasper, but my grandfather will feel ashamed. Men are disgusted by women who make them lose face.”
Stella looked at him indifferently. “Do you think I’ll make a big fuss?”
“That’s right. Your indifferent personality always make people want to go crazy. If you have just shown that you cared about me last time, maybe I would have come back to you long ago.” Frederick stared at her and then he looked down in dejection.
Stella moved the corner of her mouth and said sarcastically, “Never expect a brute to turn back to the good side. In fact, there are so many people turning back for me, why would I notice one brute? I wish for you to go further on your path without turning back.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Don’t be too harsh, give them a chance to turn around. This will help ease your road in future. Stella, your EQ is too low!” Frederick said thoughtfully.
Stella looked at Frederick. Her eyes were a little distracted and she wasn’t actually looking at him.
She didn’t even know now, what emotional intelligence was.
When she loved a person, there was only one person in her heart, and she would devote herself to him wholeheartedly.
If he didn’t love her, she would never hold him back.
Just like now, her heart was actually in a lot of pain.
She wanted to speak to Jasper face to face.
If he really lied to her, no matter how painful it was, she would drive him away from her heart.
After all, they had just decided to start dating, wasn’t it?
