Chapter 82 She Couldn’t Take Anything from Him
When Stella Grace returned to the hospital, Eli Wayne was in her office. She ran to Stella Grace worriedly when she saw her. “How did it go? Is Frederick finally afraid now?” Eli Wayne asked.
Stella Grace smiled and said, “We’re divorced.”
“Really?” Eli Wayne was astonished and her eyes were sparkling.
Stella Grace nodded. “Yes, it’s true. We went to the Civil Affairs Department in the afternoon and got the divorce certificate. From now on, I’m free.” Stella Grace uttered.
“Great, great.” Eli Wayne held Stella Grace’s arms and jumped happily.
Stella Grace was elated and grinned excitedly with her hands covering her mouth.
“Let’s hang out tonight to celebrate that you’re single again.” Eli Wayne exclaimed in joy.
“Forget it. I just want to have a good sleep.” Stella Grace yawned while she rejected Eli Wayne’s invitation.
“Yes, you should have some rest once you’re back home. Let’s celebrate this weekend instead. I’ll head back now, I have an operation this afternoon.” Eli Wayne said.
“Okay. I’ll rest for a while. I have surgery at four o’clock in the afternoon.” Stella Grace said. Her eyes were aching, perhaps because she cried too much, or perhaps she did not have enough rest.
Eli Wayne wittily made an OK gesture before heading out.
She wanted to inform Jasper Milton about the good news.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
However, she was a little hesitant.
Should she tell him?
Eli Wayne held a coin in her hands. “If it turns out to be heads, then I’ll tell him. If it turns out to be tails, then I won’t tell him.” Eli Wayne muttered to herself.
She tossed the coin with her eyes closed, and the coin fell onto the ground, making a crisp sound.
She opened her eyes and watched as the coin roll.
The coin rested under the table.
“…” Eli Wayne was speechless.
She moved the table away and found a few coins under it.
“…” Eli Wayne was left speechless again.
When did she drop so many coins under the table?
Even if she didn’t inform him, Jasper Milton would know anyway. Why shouldn’t she help Jasper by giving him the information?
She made her decision gladly.
She called Jasper Milton.
He answered.
“Hey, Stella and Frederick are finally divorced. She got the divorce certificate. However, you should leave her alone today. She didn’t sleep last night. Don’t tell anyone that I told you.” Eli Wayne explained.
Jasper Milton’s lips curved upwards.
Lieutenant Johnson finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the Chief smile.
When the Chief was unhappy, the people around him suffered a lot.
“Got it, thank you.” Jasper Milton answered, his tone was more relaxed.
“However, Stella has her own thoughts, and she’s stubborn. Take your time. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a watch for you. If your rival shows up, I’ll inform you immediately. Break a leg!” Eli Wayne encouraged him.
“Sure.” Jasper Milton replied.
Stella Grace’s cell phone rang as soon as she got off work. The call was from Frederick Addington. She hesitated before answering the phone.
“What’s the matter?” Stella Grace asked in confusion.
They were divorced now.
She was a little worried. This couldn’t be good.
“We’ve agreed that you’ll meet me two days a week for a few hours, remember? You’re off work now, and I’m at Blumont Coffee, the one near your hospital, in the same private room. Do you want me to pick you up or can you come by yourself?” Frederick Addington asked.
Stella Grace couldn’t understand Frederick Addington.
He suddenly agreed to a divorce. Prior to the divorce, she would never see him for an entire month. Yet after the divorce, she was meeting him more often.
“I’ll come by myself.” Stella Grace said, still confused.
She went to Blumont Coffee and walked straight into the private room. Frederick Addington was alone in the room, and he was playing with his mobile phone.
Stella Grace sat opposite him.
“Would you like a drink?” Frederick Addington asked.
Stella Grace shook her head. “I haven’t had a good rest for a few days. I’m a little tired. I don’t want to drink anything.” Stella Grace answered.
“Rest for a while then.” Frederick Addington lowered his head and looked at the sofa.
Stella Grace frowned and looked at him cautiously.
Frederick Addington smiled, his fingers lazily pointed at the table. “If I were to do something to you, you don’t have the ability to resist even if you’re sober. I promised I won’t touch you, and I mean it.” Frederick Addington said firmly.
Stella Grace agreed with him. She was really exhausted. She had to spend three hours with him anyway. She would rather sleep on the couch rather than looking at him.
She lay down on the couch, turned her body inwards, and closed her eyes.
She was so tired that she fell asleep almost immediately.
Frederick Addington glanced at her thin figure, he took off his suit and placed it on her body like a blanket.
He began to work on official business.
Frederick Addington read a message on his phone. “Master Addington, Milton Corp is also competing for the piece of land in Clearwater Bay. They’re planning to combine Clearwater Bay and Bluesky Bay.”
Frederick Addington’s lips curled upwards as he replied, “Make sure we get the land. The more they want it, the more I will not give it to them.”
“Yes, I will place the bid.” The person sent a reply.
“I’ll send you my price later.” Frederick Addington typed.
He sent a text message to Felicia Chuck, “See you at my place in three hours. I have a gift for you.”
“Muax!” Felicia Chuck replied with a text message.
Frederick Addington’s eyes remained indifferent. He sent out another message. “Wrap my divorce certificate over a diamond necklace of about 10, 000 dollars.”
“Sure.” The reply message came.
Frederick Addington observed Stella Grace.
She was sleeping soundly, breathing lightly, and she was very quiet.
She was beautiful when she was asleep, without any make-up. She was more beautiful without make-up.
He took a few photos of her on his mobile phone. He picked one and set it as his wallpaper screen. He gazed on the photo and subsequently deleted it.
Stella Grace’s mobile phone rang.
He frowned and took out Stella Grace’s mobile phone. It was from Eli Wayne. “What’s the matter?” He sent a message on behalf of Stella Grace.
“Stella, didn’t you say that you’re coming home to rest? How come you’re not at home?” Eli Wayne asked in confusion.
“I’ll be back later.” Frederick Addington replied on behalf of Stella Grace. He put Stella Grace’s mobile phone in silent mode and placed it back into her bag.
Stella Grace woke up and recalled that she was still in the private room. She sat up and looked at Frederick Addington, who was still sitting opposite her. “What’s the time now?” Stella Grace asked.
Frederick Addington checked his watch. “Fifteen minutes past ten, you’ve slept for about five hours.” Frederick Addington answered.
“I’m going back.” Stella Grace placed his suit aside and stood up.
Frederick Addington handed her a jewelry box. “Take it.” Frederick Addington said.
“What’s this?” Stella Grace glanced at the jewelry box. She didn’t want to take it.
“Remember the jade bracelet that I owe you last time? I bought it for you, but my mom took it because she liked it. I bought you a new one, the quality is better than the one before. Take it.” Frederick Addington explained with a cunning smile on his face.
Stella Grace was very cautious of Frederick Addington.
A man would buy clothes for a woman so that he could easily take them off.
A man would buy jewels for a woman so that he could win her heart.
The more valuable the jewels, the easier it was to make her fall in love with him.
“No, I don’t need it.” Stella Grace said while she walked straight towards the door.
Frederick Addington frowned.
The more she didn’t want it, the more he wanted to give it to her.
He took out the jade bracelet, held Stella Grace’s hand, and put it on for her.
Then, he left.
She took the jade bracelet off and put it back into the jewelry box.
She couldn’t take anything from him.
