Chapter 797 My Focus Is You
Everyone had their own beliefs. Stella did not question the belief of Master Olgic.
Perhaps, she had done too many bad things in her past life, which was why she was having such a hard time in this life.
“Perhaps in this life, I have paid off for all the wrongdoings I did in my past life. Then I can live happily in my next life,” Stella said jokingly.
Suddenly, something seemed to rush out onto the road. Stella got a fright and slammed on the brakes.
“What’s wrong?” Master Olgic asked.
“I don’t know. I think I saw something,” Stella quickly opened the door and got out of the car. She saw a woman lying on the ground, dressed in tattered clothes and with panic in her eyes.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Are you alright?” Stella asked anxiously.
“Help me, help me,” the woman pleaded nervously.
“Get in the car,” Stella urged without second thoughts.
The woman hurriedly stood up and wanted to get on to Stella’s car. Just then, Jasper appeared out of nowhere and came from behind them. He stopped his car and said to the woman, “Get in my car.”
The woman looked at Stella, then looked at Jasper. In the end, she chose to get into Jasper’s car.
Jasper did not say anything and drove away.
Stella had a strange feeling in her heart as she returned to the car.
“Mr. Milton is a very mysterious person,” Master Olgic claimed once Stella had settled into the driver’s seat.
“Yes, he is. He doesn’t show his feelings, so I have no way of telling. I might as well not bother trying to understand him,” Stella said and smiled briefly.
Master Olgic also smiled and said, “I’m looking forward to your participation tomorrow. Maybe I could get a sponsor and establish a chapel on the top of my mountain. Although I will not be under the same roof as them, it would be nice to have more people around to talk about our beliefs.”
“I’m moved by your words. The mountaintop sounds great.” Stella agreed with him and then put on a worship song on the radio.
Master Olgic was pleasantly surprised. “Do you usually listen to this song?”
“I often listen to it. It calms me down and relieves my fatigue,” Stella explained.
“Yes, I feel the same way. You could just drop me by the park later,” Master Olgic said.
“I’ll just take you to your place.”
“No, it’s okay. I still have other things to do.”
Since he had said so, there was no point for Stella to insist on sending him back to his place.
Thus, she drove Master Olgic to the park and then went home.
Jasper wasn’t back yet. When Stella heard Gracie barking, she broke into a smile. She grabbed some dog food with her to the back garden and fed Gracie.
Gracie wagged its tail as it chomped away happily.
Stella rubbed Gracie’s head dotingly. She felt like Gracie was too lonely staying in the backyard. Perhaps she should find a playmate for her.
She went back to her room after feeding Gracie. Just like the routine of her previous life when she had stayed alone, Stella put on some music, lit a scented candle, and drew a bath. Then, she grabbed a towel from the bathroom, took off her clothes, wrapped the towel around her, and started to wash her clothes.
The bathtub was filled by the time she finished handwashing her clothes. She then lay down in it.
She had never taken a nice and relaxing bath since Allen’s arrival. It felt so good.
Time ticked by.
At this moment, she heard someone knocking on the door. It was likely Jasper, so she didn’t bother to answer.
She didn’t feel like seeing him right now. His face would make her feel irritated and upset.
The knocks faded as Stella continued to soak in her bath.
With a click, the bathroom door was opened.
Stella turned her head in surprise and stared at Jasper. “I didn’t give you the key.”
As soon as she said this, Jasper’s eyes darkened tremendously.
She was basically saying that she had deliberately not opened the door for him.
He lowered his gaze and went out without a word.
Stella didn’t care and she continued to enjoy her bath. She didn’t want to think about anything. It was peaceful and quiet.
After soaking for another ten minutes, she got up, changed her clothes, dried her hair, and came out.
Jasper sat quietly on the sofa and looked at her.
His facial expression was much better now. Cautiously, he gazed at her and said, “I could enter even without the key.”
Stella pursed her lips and retorted, “That sounds like a scary skill to have.”
Jasper’s heart felt like it was being squeezed. It felt sour and painful. He gazed at Stella deeply and uttered hesitantly, “I… I thought… you… hadn’t come back yet.”
“I think that even a husband and wife need their own private space. Don’t you think so?” Stella asked back indifferently.
Jasper simply looked at her and did not speak. His eyes became darker and darker as the second went by.
“I feel that it’s a little tiring to be with you. You don’t like to talk, and I can’t read your mind. Jasper, you should leave for today. I want to have a good rest alone. Okay?” Stella tried to be the bigger person and spoke nicely.
“I’m sorry,” Jasper finally said.
Stella smiled faintly and told him, “You don’t need to apologize to me. You have the right to do whatever you want.”
Jasper stood up and walked towards Stella. He hugged her and pleaded in a low voice, “Please don’t chase me away.”
Stella quietly stared ahead. Perhaps she was in a bad mood on this day as she had gone through so much.
She was already trying her best to suppress her emotions. She could not open her mouth to ask him to stay.
She felt that if he were to stay, she would feel more depressed, and she would be unable to absolve her emotions. Sooner or later, she was going to break down.
“Sorry, please give me some time,” Stella said firmly.
Instantly, Jasper’s whole body froze and he stood there stiffly.
Stella stepped out of his arms and pushed open the door.
Jasper looked at her and said, “Then, please keep your mobile phone switched on at all times.”
Stella smiled in response and didn’t say anything.
Jasper walked to the door decadently. When he passed by her, he stopped and looked at her silently.
“It’s getting late,” Stella reminded him.
“Forgive me,” Jasper’s words were simple.
Stella smiled again. “You have done nothing wrong. You don’t need to feel afraid.”
“You have already forgotten me. How could I not feel afraid? You’ve let go of me so easily. Who knows, you might not even want me anymore in the next second. How could I not feel afraid?” Jasper frowned. He was a little emotional and his heart was in knots.
“Focus and prioritize yourself, and do what you need to do. Even if you have no one, you should continue pursuing what you want. Life is still meaningful. In this world, no one ceases to live just because a person has left them,” Stella said coldly.
“My priority is you,” Jasper stated, his gaze firm and determined.
Stella smiled and found his words very funny. Originally, she didn’t want to say anything. She had wanted to sleep on it, and then wake up in a better mood the next day. However, she couldn’t help herself when she heard this.
“Your priority is me? If your priority really was me, then how could you leave suddenly without saying a word? If your priority was me, how could you leave me alone? You gave me nasty looks all day long. What’s more, you even brought some random girl away with no explanation whatsoever. I am sorry, but I do not feel like I’m that important to you at all. Please do not contact me over the next few days. I don’t want to see your face either. Also, I really don’t like being monitored, so just stop it,” Stella uttered very decisively.
