Chapter 781 A Sad Heart, A Blushed Face
Stella was not angry. “How many days would you normally see your son in a month?”
“That’s none of your business. Just look at yourself. I think that this place will close down soon,” Owen’s temper got even worse.
Stella smiled. “You miss your son very much whenever you steal things, don’t you? You think that he would appear whenever you steal, then you could meet and talk to him, am I right? You could also see the way he cares for you through his behavior. You are very self-abased and you are always afraid that your son will abandon you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Owen stood up in agitation. “What do you mean by self-abased? I am not self-abased. You look more like it yourself. You realize that you can’t cure me and so you start scolding me and even cursing me, saying that my son wants to abandon me. I will go to the Consumer Association and sue you!”
Stella was very calm. She did not say a word, and she merely looked at Owen quietly. She was very good-tempered.
Owen was exhausted, seeing that Stella didn’t get angry no matter how he scolded her. He sat back on the sofa and said with arrogance, “Why are you not saying anything? You sounded so confident just now, didn’t you?”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“There’s something I need you to understand. I’m going to call your son after your session. My words could convince him to stay by your side, but it could also cause him to stay away from you for a year. Which result would you prefer?” Stella said calmly.
Owen became furious again. He stood up and pointed at Stella as he scolded her, “You vicious woman, you just want things to go badly for me, right? The fact that you’re destroying my family will cause you to burn in hell. You’re such an evil woman. I bet that your husband hates you too. You are a ruthless, cunning, and vicious person.”
Stella let him curse. She picked up the teacup with a poker face, leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of water, and asked, “Are you done yet?”
“Your skin is as thick as a wall, isn’t it? How could you still be so calm even when someone is scolding you? Is your heart made of stone? You just forgot all the courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame. No wonder you came to America and abandoned your home. You ungrateful b*tch. If you ever keep my son away from me for a year, I will come and disturb you every single day so that no patient would dare come visit you. Anyway, time is all I have.”
Stella laughed. She looked at Owen and said, “If you come here and disturb me, I will go and disturb your son. Anyway, since I have no patients, time is all I have as well.”
“You b*tch, I’ll kill you,” Owen rushed toward Stella.
Stella didn’t move away. “If you kill me, you’ll be sent to prison and you will not steal things anymore. Do you think that your son will forgive you if you kill a psychologist? You will never see him ever again in your life. Unlike now, you could still see him once a month.”
Owen stopped and looked at Stella with hatred. He gritted his teeth with resentment, and said, “You b*tch, no wonder the business is so good. It’s all because of the threats, right?”
Stella looked at Owen. “I’m not asking for much. Just sit down quietly and answer my questions. Then I will make sure your son sees you at least once a week, or maybe every day.”
Owen frowned. “Could we really see each other every day?”
Stella nodded. “Provided that you tell me all of your true thoughts.”
Owen did not seem to believe her but he eventually sat down in his seat.
Stella took her phone out and turned on the recording. She put the phone on the sofa and started asking, “The main purpose of you stealing is to see your son, right?”
Owen sealed his lips tightly and kept quiet.
Stella was not in a hurry and she waited patiently for him to speak.
“He is very busy at work. There are times where he doesn’t come home for a month or two. Even when I called him to come home for dinner, he won’t either,” Owen said with a grievance.
“If there’s a chance for you to work in your son’s company, maybe as a doorman or as a cleaner, would you be willing to do it?” Stella asked again.
“Yes, of course. Even though our family has a housekeeper, they’re not as thorough as I am. There’s so much I could do. Not only do I clean, but I could cook as well. I used to be a head chef, and I would manage the catering whenever there are events in the neighborhood. I even made the dishes for dozens of tables,” Owen said proudly.
“There must be a lot of Americans working in your son’s company, right?”
“I know how to cook dishes that Americans love to eat as well. There are many people from A Country who work at my son’s company. I could cook fusion cuisines,” Owen said in a hurry.
“If I manage to persuade your son to let you cook, could you promise me that you won’t steal things anymore?” Stella asked again.
“Of course. I’ve got dignity and when they scolded me, I was angry too,” Owen said firmly.
Stella smiled lightly. “In fact, scolding other people is not good for you. You have to be nice to your son’s employees in the future. That way, he would not be able to do it even if he wants to drive you away. I will talk to him later and I hope that I won’t have to see you again next week.”
“Well, great, just tell him quickly. If he agrees, I will give you all my jewelry. It would not be convenient to carry all these when I cook in the future anyway.”
“You should keep it for your daughter-in-law,” Stella refused. “You may go out first and I will call him now.”
“Oh, then I’ll wait for you outside,” Owen hurried out.
Stella called Owen’s son and said, “Mr. Hadley, it’s Stella. The problem with your father is that he really misses you, so he did some extreme things to gain your attention and concern. Your attitude would actually influence his state of mind. If you paid too much attention to him, his condition would only become even more serious. However, if you don’t, he will be pessimistic, disappointed, and depressed.”
“What should I do then?” Mr. Hadley asked worriedly.
“He cares about you very much, and he doesn’t ask for much. He just wants to see you and talk to you.”
“But I’m very busy at work.”
“I have a suggestion. He is a chef who can cook western food and fusion cuisines. Since you own a company, it could benefit the employees to have their meals in the company. This way, your father would have a job and he can help you build a good relationship with your employees. Most importantly, he could see you often and this would make you less worried as well.”
“But his health is not very good. He’s suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure.”
“You could hire an assistant for him. That way, he won’t be too tired, instead, he would be happy. When he’s happy, his health will get better. But if he’s unhappy, he might have a mental breakdown and it won’t be good for his health,” Stella advised.
“Okay then, let me make the necessary arrangements then.”
“Alright,” Stella hung up the phone.
The door then opened.
Owen looked at her and asked, “How did it go?”
“He agreed.”
Owen was so happy and raised his thumb to Stella. “You are so great. You really deserve your reputation. I think that you’re really amazing.”
Stella smiled and sent the patient away. She noticed that it was not 11 a. m. yet, so she called Vann and went to the police station.
When she got out of the car, she saw Jasper walking over.
He was dressed in a black suit, which outlined his perfect figure.
The collar, cuffs, and signs, all of them had white color edges, like the uniform of a soldier. He looked particularly handsome.
He was masculine, righteous, sharp, and cold.
He looked at her.
Their eyes met.
Stella recalled the fact that she had two children with him. She blushed slightly…
