Chapter 70 She’s My Woman
Stella Grace was not good at lying. She licked her lips to hide her panic.
She replied ambiguously, “Didn’t we all see each other today?”
“Really?” Frederick Addington gave her a cold stare. That piercing gaze threatened to slice through her lies.
Stella Grace looked at Frederick Addington with confusion in her eyes.
When he was with another girl, he even did things that crossed the line, why couldn’t he realize he was making a mistake.
What he was feeling now was probably identical to how she felt at that time.
He was full of anger, despair, and almost gone crazy. He felt like his life was dismantling right in front of his eyes.
Stella Grace asked calmly, “What are you trying to prove?”
“I don’t want to prove anything.
“I think you’ve heard that Jasper Milton and Katty Davis are about to get married.”
His parents were very fond of Katty Davis, and it was impossible for them to accept another woman.
The Addington Family would not let you off the hook this time.
“Don’t humiliate yourself, you better not have funny ideas.
Otherwise, I can assure you that you will suffer greatly. Do you hear me?” Frederick Addington’s voice sounded like an order.
Stella Grace’s eyes darkened. She knew it very well secretly.
She couldn’t bring herself to imagine being together with Jasper Milton.
What happened just now…
It was not what she really wanted.
But she was still moved when those confessions came out of Jasper Milton’s mouth.
Although that feeling only lasted a moment.
But as they said, you’re touched momentarily but you live for a lifetime.
“I understand.” Stella Grace walked to the pool, turned on the tap, and washed her face with tap water.
When she went out of the bathroom, Jasper Milton was already sitting on the sofa and chatting with Simon Davis.
He threw a deep gaze at her.
Stella Grace looked in the other direction, trying to avoid his eyes.
“Uncle Zoah, Uncle Steven, Stella feels a little ill. We’re going back now.” Frederick Addington greeted them with a smile on his face, his good upbringing was shown.
“Have you drank too much wine? Go back and have a rest.” Katty Davis’ mom said lovingly.
Stella Grace nodded to Katty Davis’ mom and left the room.
Jasper Milton’s gaze followed Stella Grace as she walked away further and further.
Simon Davis patted Jasper Milton’s leg, this brought back Jasper Milton’s attention. He lowered his voice and asked, “What’s going on between you and Stella Grace? She’s my cousin’s woman. I heard that she has been married for three years.”
“She is my woman,” Jasper Milton said firmly.
Simon Davis was aghast at Jasper Milton.
“So you are in love with her? She is a married woman. Are you crazy? You are throwing away your bright future of possibly becoming the President,” Simon Davis was extremely worried.
“She will divorce him soon. I can see that coming.” Jasper Milton was confident.
“You are getting ahead of yourself, my cousin is no ordinary man, his mother is deeply connected to the current President. That gives him an equally bright future. He is a man with a bag full of tricks, you just had to set your eyes on my cousin’s woman,” Simon Davis was pretty apprehensive.
“Do you still remember that I told you that I have hurt a woman because I took drugs?” Jasper Milton said in low voice.
Simon Davis hesitated and made a guess, “And that woman is Stella Grace?”
Jasper Milton nodded. “Her life has gone down to the drain from that moment on. I have to make up for what I have done.”
“You have to think it through. Maybe what you feel towards her is not love at all. It’s just prolonged guilt and a hole in your heart that you want to fill with something. She’s not Bettany Hadley. You don’t really love her.”
“I am sure of my own feelings,” Jasper Milton said with certainty.
“What are you guys talking about?” Katty Davis sat next to Jasper Milton.
Simon Davis gave Katty Davis a smile, “It’s a secret between us. You’re better off not knowing anything.”
“I’m just asking, anyway Jasper, mom and dad had discussed with your parents, they think that October was an auspicious month to get our wedding engagement going, what do you think about this?” Katty Davis was obviously in an upbeat mood.
Jasper Milton got up, grabbed Katty Davis’ arm, and came face to face with both of their parents.
Katty Davis lowered her head, a shy and sweet expression on her face.
“There is something I have to tell you. Actually, Katty has been like a little sister to me all this time. I will love her like my own little sister but not as a couple. I want to make this clear today.” Jasper Milton said bluntly.
The adults all had a very hard expression on their faces.
“You bastard, do you understand what you are saying?” Steven Milton’s eyes widened in fury.
“I know what have I said, it’s just that I know what I really want, and I can get along with Katty just fine. What’s wrong with being a good elder brother to Katty?” Jasper Milton said coldly.
“I only need one brother,” Katty Davis pulled away violently from him, she had lost it.
Jasper Milton had embarrassed her in front of his parents, so she also didn’t want to hold back anymore. “Is it because of Stella Grace?”
When Stella Grace’s name was mentioned, everybody froze, they all looked at Jasper Milton with eyes full of disbelief.
Jasper Milton gritted his teeth, his eyes piercing. That piercing gaze fell on Katty Davis.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Because I don’t like you,” Jasper Milton was very straightforward.
“You swear to dad and mom now, you swear to everybody here that you don’t love Stella Grace and will never be together with her.” Katty Davis pressed on.
“I don’t need to swear to anybody about my own decision. The soldier needs me now, I have to go back immediately.” Jasper Milton nodded to his elders and walked out of the room.
“Katty, what do you mean by that? Stella Grace is Frederick’s wife right?” Katty Davis’ mom pulled her over.
Katty Davis was on the verge of crying. Her eyes were teary and red. “That’s the bitch.”
There was a loud bang.
Steven Milton slammed the cup on the table furiously, “Never. I would never allow that kind of woman to enter our household.”
Katty Davis’ mom turned her head to Simon Davis. “Simon, you’re Jasper Milton’s best buddy, and Katty’s elder brother. Tell me, what’s going on?”
Simon Davis had a wry smile on his face looking at everybody’s murderous face. “You guys are thinking too much. It was never a thing between Jasper and Stella Grace, you know that Stella Grace is Frederick’s wife right? The thing is Jasper is not over Bettany Hadley, so he went nuts when you forced this marriage on him. ”
“But Bettany Hadley has already been dead for five years.” Katty Davis abruptly exposed Simon Davis’ lies.
“Jasper has always been loyal. He even keeps love letters from his primary school days. You know that right.
Alright? My precious sister.” Simon Davis wrapped his arms around Katty’s shoulder.
He said earnestly, “If you really want Jasper to like you, you should fix your bad temper.”
You’re too hot-headed, you’re putting Jasper in a difficult position.
“If I were Jasper, I wouldn’t choose you as my girlfriend to be honest.”
Especially for somebody that will become your wife, everybody would want a nice and sweet wife.”
Everybody eased up a little after Simon Davis’ comforting words.
He sighed.
He had done his best for his buddy…
