Chapter 815 Working Toward a Perfect Future
"If I wanted to take advantage of her, I would have slept with her when you were not around. Don't worry, she's yours. My relationship with her is not what you think. Even if I did, it was you who affected me. Now that you're back, it's none of my business," Bellamy said in a low voice.
He looked quietly at Stella, who was downstairs.
He had dreamed of her several times over the past year. That was when Jasper parted ways with her.
Whenever Jasper dreamed about her, he would also dream about her.
However, this time, he thought of himself as an outsider, because he clearly knew that it was Jasper who had dreamed about her.
The connection between twins was truly strange. It was easy for them to lose their senses. Fortunately, he had returned to his true self. He was grateful to Stella for never giving him any chances.
"This year, I'm going to make up for her wedding. I didn't manage to do it previously due to various reasons. I also want to give her a gift, a gift that she has been longing for," Jasper said as he looked at Stella.
Bellamy looked at Jasper with a deep look in his eyes. "Are you talking about Sean?"
"Mmm." Jasper responded and said coolly, "I came back as the Chief of the military base and helped you stabilize all the military regions. What I want now is Sean's freedom."
"But now, the hearts of the people are turbulent. Anthony is eyeing him like a tiger. He is similar to how Quinn used to be, holding tightly to the position of Deputy Commander. He has complicated connections in secret. There is also Beckham. He's an emerging force groomed by the Yaleman family. Even though Sean has fallen, the Yaleman family's power is still there," Bellamy said worriedly.
"Bell, you and I are blood-related. Our fortune and misfortune are dependent on each other. I will do my best to help you stabilize your position. If you perish, Stella and I will also perish. I won't let such a thing happen," Jasper promised.
"But, you can't control what's going to happen next."
"If I betray my loyalty because I am afraid, then I will only be a villain in the future. I am a man of virtue. Even if I die, I will have a clear conscience for myself and everyone. I would rather live a great life than live as a coward. A gentleman knows his principles and the do's and don'ts," Jasper advised.
"Have you heard about the historical story between the ancient King Finn and King Grant?"
"There was no problem with releasing Grant. The biggest problem comes if Grant is allowed to interfere with us. The people of A Country emphasize that the winner will be the leader and the losers will be the followers. Back then, if King Grant hadn't defeated King Finn, history would have been re-written. Grant was such a sinister person, and yet Finn was so righteous. In the future, the same mistake won't be repeated, and the future will be in your hands."
Bellamy looked at Jasper and raised the corners of his mouth. "Jasper, your strong point is that you value relationships. Your flaw is that you value relationships too much, so other people can exploit you."
"I don't care. At least I'm worthy of myself."
"Shouldn't you think about Stella when you make this decision? Letting Sean go will be a safety hazard which might lead to annihilation," Bellamy advised.
"This is what Stella wants, and she will bear the consequences."
Bellamy chuckled. "You two are truly born to be a pair. One of you can disregard everything for a friend. The other disregards everything for a woman. Alright, I'll let him go."
Jasper looked at Bellamy with gratitude.
Actually, Bellamy and they were birds of the same feathers. They could disregard anything for the sake of their brothers.
He patted Bellamy's shoulder and said, "Let's have lunch here before we go back. I'll try my best to coordinate what you requested."
"Do you have enough money?" Bellamy asked worriedly.
"There are some foreign industries that can be sold. There shouldn't be any problems regarding money. Furthermore, I have a few game projects that are worth hundreds of millions a month. There's no need to worry," Jasper said firmly.
"Well, one day our family should get together. I'll invite Waverly."
"Since you've married her, you should treat her well," Jasper reminded him.
"Although I am willing, she is indifferent. After all, it's just a story of unrequited love. It is sorrowful."
"What do you mean?"
"She has someone else she likes," Bellamy smiled and said.
"When I first laid my eyes on Stella, she also had someone she liked. But Frederick did not cherish her, so I managed to get her. I'm thankful that I was persistent, which resulted in my current relationship with Stella," Jasper said meaningfully. He patted Bellamy's shoulder once again as encouragement.
They went downstairs together. Jasper looked for Stella outside, seeing that she was not around.
Stella had found two ropes and tied them to the top of the branches. Between the two ropes, she laid a small quilt to create a simple swing.
She put Sandro on it and gently rocked it.
Sandro was elated. He sat comfortably in the middle of the quilt, swinging and laughing so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
Jasper walked to Stella's side and said, "I will ask someone to prepare two swings here."
"I want to set up a playground in the backyard too, as well as some flowers and plants since I see that there is empty space. You can just leave this matter to me," Stella said. She did not want him to worry over this small matter.
"Let me tell you some good news. Bell agreed to let Sean go," Jasper said.
Stella was stunned and she looked at him in surprise. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes. He agreed, but I need to meet Sean before he is released," Jasper said in a low voice.
"I see. That's great nonetheless. When will he be released?" Stella asked happily.
"I don't know yet. Bell has agreed to let him go. Maybe in another two days. After all, I have to plan before releasing him."
"Then I'll tell Eli the good news tonight."
Jasper nodded.
Lynette came out to look for Stella and Jasper and said respectfully, "Chief, Mrs. Milton, Madam Shine has asked you to head back for lunch. She said that the crabs are ready."
"Okay," Stella carried Sandro from the swing and said, "Let's have some tasty crabs."
"Crabs are cooling in nature. It's best if a child doesn't eat them," Jasper reminded.
"Chief, Mrs. Milton, please go ahead and eat first. The rice isn't ready yet. I'll look after Sandro here," Lynette said.
Jasper and Stella looked at each other. After all, they had to accompany Bellamy. It was not convenient to take Sandro with them.
"Thank you," Stella said as she passed Sandro over to Lynette.
Lynette continued to play with Sandro outside, whereas Stella and Jasper went in.
Bellamy was already sitting at the dining table, holding a cell phone while texting. In front of him were four large plates of crabs, a total of twenty crabs. There was also the dipping sauce that was prepared by Suzi.
"You guys are back," Bellamy said with a smile, putting his phone on the table. "These crabs are really huge. This is the first time I have eaten such a big crab this year."
Jasper held Stella's hand and walked over. "These crabs were given to me by my previous comrade-in-arms."
Stella took a crab and held it in her hand. It was a little hot, so she laid it on the plate. She cut the crab legs with a pair of scissors.
She would usually eat king crabs when she was in the United States. The quality of the crab flesh was even more delicate and tender.
"Is it delicious?" Jasper asked as he placed the peeled flesh on her plate.
