Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Jasper caught a foot-long sea bass.

“Wow, this fish looks very delicious,” Stella looked at it with glee.

Not long after, Jasper caught another one-foot-long sea bass.

Stella was pleasantly surprised.

Jasper had caught a total of three fishes.

Seeing this, Benedict and his friends came over again.

Jasper immediately dismantled the trap.

Benedict’s friends were whispering to him in a low voice.

Benedict then walked over and said, “Are you guys going fishing tomorrow?”

Stella looked at Jasper.

“Yes, we are,” Jasper replied.

“You could give us these fishes then. There are a lot of us, so this will be just perfect,” Benedict said.

“We’ll be fishing in the sea tomorrow, so we’ll still need these freshwater fishes. I’m sorry,” Jasper directly refused.

Benedict was speechless.

“Why are you so stingy? These fishes were from the lake anyway and yet you refuse to give them to us. It’s not as if we’re asking for your money,” Benedict’s friend, Alexis, said.

Jasper paid him no heed and went to the car with the suitcase.

“Stella, this boyfriend of yours is not good. He’s not a gentleman at all,” Benedict tried to provoke her.

Stella was not angry initially. She was too kind to refuse them when they came to ask for something. She even decided to just let them have it. However, provoking her was just crossing the line.

“So, are you a gentleman then?” Stella’s expression turned cold as she asked him in return.

Benedict paused for a moment.

“What do you mean?” Alexis asked angrily.

“You kept asking us for our things and scolding us when we refuse. He is just protecting my things. How is that not being a gentleman? Does he have to give it to you to be a gentleman?” Stella asked coldly.

“Hey b*tch, I was just giving you some respect. But you’re a b*tch, aren’t you? We’re going to take these fishes no matter what you say or do. We advise you to leave them here. Otherwise, you’ll be left with nothing but bones today,” Alexis said furiously.

When Jasper saw they were bullying Stella, he immediately went over and protected Stella by pushing her behind him.

“Do you think that one man is enough? There are eight of us here. We only want your fish and we’ll let you off if you give them to us obediently. So leave the fish and get out of here,” Alexis said.

“Benedict, I didn’t know that your friend would behave in such a way. Couldn’t you tell what’s right and wrong?” Stella asked sharply.

Benedict too thought that Alexis was getting out of line. “Forget it, we can fish for ourselves.”

“I want this fish no matter what,” Alexis said and looked at Benedict’s other friends.

His other friends were obviously sticking together against them. Some of them rolled up their sleeves, and the others were already taking out iron rods from their cars.

“Jasper, let’s go,” Stella was worried that trouble might ensue.

“Stella, wait for me in the car,” Jasper said.

“But you…”

“Listen to me. I’ll be fine,” Jasper promised. His sharp gaze glanced over at them.

Stella was thinking of getting a weapon from the car to help Jasper, so she walked toward the car.

The man with the iron rod lunged forward and tried to hit Jasper’s body. Jasper took a step forward and punched the man’s armpit.

The man stepped back a few meters and fell on his knees.

The others watched their friend get beaten and they started attacking Jasper together. In just five minutes, everyone fell to the ground, except for Benedict who had yet to make a move.

Stella wanted to help, but it seemed that she didn’t have to at all.

She had thought that Jasper was very skillful and nimble when they were out at sea before. There were more than a dozen enemies at that time, who were all good swimmers, but still, they couldn’t beat him. These men couldn’t possibly win over him on land, could they?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

However, she didn’t expect him to be that good. He even made all of them fall to the ground in an instant.

Benedict’s lips were trembling and his face was pale. He said, “We’re all friends.”

“Benedict, one takes on the color of one’s company. You’re a psychology student. You should know exactly what kind of character the other person has and how it would affect you. Take good care of yourself,” Stella said, then turned around and left with Jasper.

The sky was already dark.

They were still pumping with adrenaline from the fight, and neither of them spoke.

Half an hour later, Stella said, “I’m sorry.”

“It has nothing to do with you. Those people appeared all of a sudden. In life, accidents happen all the time and we can’t control them. What we can do is stay together and overcome all difficulties together,” Jasper said meaningfully.

Stella, who had always been intuitive, immediately understood the meaning of his words. “We were separated before. Was it because of an accident?”

“Mm, there were bullets in the back of my head. I thought that I was definitely going to die,” Jasper said. His gaze looked much darker, and there was a faint hint of sadness in his eyes.

He didn’t want to talk anymore. He looked far into the distance and closed his lips.

Stella too felt faint sadness in her heart, and she changed the serious topic, “Where are you taking me?”

“That place is a little far away. You should get some sleep first. I’ll wake you up once we’re there,” Jasper said.

“Okay,” Stella reclined the seat and she closed her eyes.

Jasper stopped the car and tidied up their things. He put down all the chairs behind and made it into a bed.

“You’ll be more comfortable sleeping at the back. Don’t forget to cover yourself with a blanket,” Jasper said.

“Okay,” Stella moved to the back and lay down.

Jasper then covered her with a blanket. He drove and adjusted the window so that it was a little smaller.

He then continued driving.

Stella was exhausted after a whole day. She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

Jasper drove for another five hours and finally arrived at the destination. It was almost midnight.

He didn’t set up the tent because it was already late.

He put the luggage into the front passenger seat.

Stella opened her eyes. “Are we here?”

“Yes, we’ll rough it out and sleep in the car for tonight,” Jasper said.

“Okay,” Stella closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

Stella opened her eyes when she heard the sound of birds the next day. it was already dawn and Jasper was sleeping next to her.

He slept quite late the night before, so she didn’t wake him up and let him continue to sleep.

She was shocked by the scene when she opened the back door.

They had arrived at the top of the mountain. At first glance, she could see a vast ocean. There were green trees in front of the ocean, and above the green trees was heavy mist. It was as if they were in paradise.

It was so beautiful that her eyes started tearing.

Jasper stood up and sat next to her, saying in a hoarse voice, “Morning.”

“I’m sorry, I must’ve woken you up. It’s still early. You should sleep a little longer,” Stella said.

Jasper looked at the time on his watch. “It’s alright, I’ve had enough sleep.”

“How did you find this place? It’s so beautiful. It’s a hundred times more beautiful than the last place. Compared to this place, the place before was simply okay,” Stella sighed.

“I stayed here for a short while when I was out on a mission a long time ago. I realized that this place was very beautiful. When the sun rises, you could see the colorful rainbow through the fog below,” Jasper told her and got out of the car.

Stella also got out of the car and took a deep breath. The air was so fresh that it felt as though it was washing away all the unhealthy things in her body…
