Chapter 25 I saved you, give me your body
“Yes or no, there’s no difference, is there?” asked Jasper.
“Well, I have a husband and I don’t want to cross these lines. I don’t like to be playing with feelings. You’re such a charismatic man, and I believe there are a lot of women out there for you, you don’t have to risk your neck by falling for me. ” said Stella in a serious tone.
Jasper looked at her, he grew fierce.
“I’m risking my neck? Interesting,” said Jasper with a coy smile.
“Also, we have only gotten to know each other, and have only met a few times. Let’s not worsen our impressions towards each other. ” Stella explained clearly.
Stella knew he was wise and would understand her words.
Jasper then looked at Stella and her bowl of rice, he said, ” Let’s just eat. ”
Stella continued eating, her head bowed, and the door opened.
It was Steven Milton, standing outside the door, his gaze fell on Stella.
“Hi, Dad, why are you here? ” asked Jasper, he frowned.
Steven walked towards the dining table, he had some documents in his hands and he threw them on the table.
“You’re being ridiculous these days, how can an ordinary clinic doctor join the Special Forces as a military doctor? ” asked Steven.
“That is none of your business.” Jasper put down his spoon and leaned back against his chair.
Steven did not bother looking at Stella. He asked, “Who is this woman, who allowed you to bring a random woman to the Special Forces camp? ”
Jasper then shot Steven a menacing look. He stood up and said in a deep tone, “With all due respect, Mr. Vice President, this is my Special Forces camp and not your company quarters. If you have any issues with my behavior, you may report to my senior officers instead of coming here to mess around. If you have nothing else to discuss, please do not pry into my private life. Thank you, and you may leave.”
“Do not speak to me this way! What if she a spy from our enemies? You’ll just ruin your future in the military. ” Steven replied angrily.
“If she is one, you can send me to court to face punishment. Else, since she is not yet a spy, you have no right to involve in my private life,” said Jasper casually.
“You’re ruining your future,” said Steven.
“That’s my own business, mind your own,” said Jasper.
Steven was getting annoyed, he ordered, ” You must attend the banquet tomorrow. Else I will announce to the during the press conference that Katty is your fiance, our one true daughter-in-law! ”
“Do you think it is fun to do that? ” Jasper did not compromise, he hated having his life controlled by others.
“Of course, it is all for your own good,” said Steven sternly.
Steven then looked towards Stella and said, ” Do not ever step a foot into the Special Military Region anymore, it’s not a place that you can come and go as you wish. ”
Stella then stood up and walked towards the door. She felt uneasy at Steven’s words.
Jasper promptly grabbed her forearm, and said, ” I invited her over to my place, please respect my guest. ”
” Respect! ” Steven took out his gun and pointed at Jasper said, ” You are insolent! I can kill you with my gun. ”
Jasper then stood up and placed his forehead right in front of the gun, he had no fear of getting shot.
While Steven did not want to give in, he held on to the gun, Jasper remained fearless.
The situation was getting tenser and tenser. Stella felt her heart pounding out of her lungs.
” It’s time for me to go, my husband is waiting for me at home. ” Stella removed her arm from Jasper’s grip, then she bowed to him and said, ” Thank you, Chief, for saving my life. ”
She then turned to Steven and said ” Please do not get me wrong. You are father and son; you should calm down. Jasper saved me just now from being kidnapped, I’m just here to cook him dinner to thank him. Please discuss this in peace, I will leave now, thank you for your understanding. ”
Stella quickly left the apartment without turning back.
“She’s here to thank you, she’s a married woman? ” Steven felt relieved at her words. He withdrew his gun.
Jasper didn’t reply but shouted, ” Lieutenant Johnson!”
Lieutenant Johnson dashed in anxiously, nodding his head.
“Send Stella home. ” Jasper ordered.
“Yes, sir!” Lieutenant Johnson nodded.
As Stella approaching the door, Lieutenant Johnson rushed over and said, ” Ms. Stella, hold on, I’ll send you home. ”
“It’s okay, I will take a taxi, ” said Stella.
“I’ve got a word or two for you,” said Lieutenant Johnson.
“Oh, what is it about? ” Stella asked.
“We’ll talk about it later. ” Lieutenant Johnson said, he opened the backseat door for Stella, she had no choice and hopped on to the car.
“I think the Captain is falling for you,” said Lieutenant Johnson frankly, peering at Stella through the rear-view mirror.
Stella blushed and said, ” We are not compatible. ”
“Captain Jasper will always reject women that approach him. I’ve been under him for three years, and he is known to never indulge in lust. But he did not push you away when you kissed him, that night you were drunk.” Lieutenant Johnson explained.
Stella looked at him with shock, she could not remember a single thing that had happened that night.
Stella did ask Jasper what he had said and done when she was drunk, and he had said that she did nothing. Stella could not believe that she had actually kissed him.
Stella felt uneasy, her heart beating fast, and said, “Hmm, I’m married.”
“Married? ” Lieutenant Johnson looked startled, he smiled awkwardly.
Having an affair with a married woman would surely jeopardize Jasper’s career. He would be notorious among politicians. Lieutenant Johnson knew that he was wrong for being nosy.
“How interesting, I was just teasing you. Captain Jasper has already someone else in his heart. He probably did not know how to reject you since you were drunk. I think too much! ” Lieutenant Johnson quickly changed his statement.
Stella was startled; Jasper already has someone else he loves. Perhaps the things that happened between them was just impulsive lust.
It was just temporary, Stella calmed herself down, they are from different worlds, even befriending each other is almost impossible.
Lieutenant Johnson looked at Stella as she looked out the window, he cleared his throat and asked, “Where would you like to go ”
Stella gathered her mind, and replied, ” To the hospital. ”
Stella’s phone rang, it was a random number, so she answered the call.
“Thank you for earlier. ” Jasper’s voice passed through the phone.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Stella was shocked that it was Jasper, she told him, “Hmm, I was just telling the truth, you did save me once and since I really wanted to buy you a meal to thank you, it was easy to cook you dinner to repay you ”
“Do you think you can just repay me with just that one meal? ” Jasper’s voice brimmed with unspoken sentiments.
” …” Stella did not reply.
