Chapter 770 I Don’t Want To Leave You
Stella arranged a room for Jasper on the first floor after the meal.
Gracie was put in the backyard.
“Uh, I was in a hurry when I left, so I didn’t take your clothes with me. Is there anyone who could send your clothes over?” Stella asked Jasper.
“I’ll get someone to send them over later,” Jasper said in a low voice.
“Good, rest well. I’ll go to the pet store to buy Gracie’s stuff.”
“I’ll go with you,” Allen said with a smile.
Stella nodded, “Alright. We have to go to the supermarket too, so we should be buying a lot of things.”
Jasper frowned as he watched them leave. He called someone and said, “Elvis, send my clothes to Stella’s.”
“Chief, are you staying at Madam Grace’s house already?” Elvis was pleasantly surprised.
“There was an accident. Don’t let her see you. Also, send Alissa to another country and make sure that she will never step into this land ever again,” Jasper ordered.
“Yes, Chief. Good luck,” Elvis cheered Jasper on.
Jasper’s eyes darkened.
He too wanted to do his best, and he had a lot of things he wanted to say to her. However, when he faced her, he couldn’t seem to utter a word to her.
The Stella right now was different. She had become more cheerful, lively, and free.
She looked so carefree that he was afraid of disrupting her life, but he couldn’t help but want to get close to her…
On the way.
Stella was driving as the radio played some beautiful music.
Allen looked at her and wanted to speak but stopped on second thought.
Stella smiled and said, “Just tell me what you want to say. You were never a hesitant person.”
“Actually, I’ve always liked you. From the first time I saw you until this moment, even though I left, I’ve never given up on my feelings for you. Could you give me a chance, please?” Allen said directly.
Stella continued driving and said calmly, “Allen, you are a perfect person. You have high EQ and IQ, you are open-minded, and have a good background and status. You are at the top of the status chain. Think about it, what would happen if you marry me?”
“Well…” Allen was lost in thought. His mind was indeed blank. It was so blank that he started to panic.
Stella smiled and glanced at him. “I’ve guessed it correctly, right? You’ve never thought about life with me in the future.”
“That seems to be the case,” Allen said.
“You only think that you and I are suitable. You are a perfect person, and you have always been looking for perfection, but there is no change in the life of a person who is too sensible. It is no different from staying single. The only difference is that staying single is more carefree,” Stella explained.
“Isn’t a peaceful life the most realistic life?” Allen asked.
“Think about it again. Apart from doing what a husband and wife should do, our lives will not be much different. However, a married couple’s life will become more and more mundane as they grow older, and the passion between them will gradually fade away. Many couples who get along for ten or twenty years won’t do a single thing in that time span,” Stella explained.
Allen fell silent and didn’t say anything else.
He was very indifferent to sex now. It had been several years since he had had sex with a woman. He didn’t want to do that either as he wasn’t interested.
“I think that your feelings for me are that of admiration, not of love,” Stella said sensibly.
“I may have lost the ability to love,” Allen said thoughtfully.
“That’s because you haven’t met a person who you will get jealous of. Love sometimes has no reasoning behind it. When you meet the person who makes you lose your mind, then that’s it. You and I are lifelong confidants and friends. We could live together and be happy all our lives.”
“But what do you think about Jasper?” Allen asked.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Jasper?” Stella frowned. That person didn’t seem to exist in her memory, but when he mentioned that person’s name, she felt a dull pain in her heart.
“Black,” Allen corrected his name.
“Oh, him,” Stella didn’t say anything more. She frowned and took a deep breath.
“I’m jealous,” Allen’s heart ached. His dark eyes narrowed as he said in a very serious tone.
Stella pulled over to the roadside and looked at him.
Allen’s chest heaved up and down, and his eyes were deeply locked onto Stella.
He had never pressured her because he was afraid that she would leave him. However, it seemed that there was an unbridgeable gap between them.
“My feelings for you are not of admiration. Ever since I met you, I wasn’t able to look at other women. As long as you need my help, I will do it for you, even if it costs me my life,” Allen confessed strongly.
“Life with me won’t be adventurous nor exciting, but what I could give you are understanding and acceptance. I will be a person who could support you unconditionally, pamper you, love you, respect you, and help you do anything you want to do.”
Stella was moved upon hearing Allen’s confession.
He was such a perfect person. If she didn’t accept him, it would seem as though she was playing hard-to-get.
However, her feelings for Allen were that of admiration. If he liked another woman, she would give him her blessing. She harbored no romantic feelings for Allen.
“Allen, I don’t want to lose a good friend like you. Every time I think of you, I feel warm. I think that this warmth is more precious than love,” Stella answered.
“But if you get together with another man, how am I able to stay by your side as your good friend? Would you let me stay by your side?” Allen asked.
Stella did not speak.
Human nature was like that.
If Allen were to stay by her side like that even though she had a boyfriend, the ones who would get hurt would be Allen himself and her boyfriend.
“I think that the only way I could keep you by my side is to be your boyfriend. I didn’t dare to think about our future because I was afraid of pressuring you, because I know what kind of past you have,” Allen confessed.
Stella felt a dull pain in her heart, and the rims of her eyes turned red.
She didn’t want to get involved in the past. That was what she told herself before.
In fact, she also knew in her heart that she wouldn’t have hypnotized herself either if she was not forced to the extreme.
Her heart would still hurt for no reason whenever she thought of the shadow of the past.
“Allen, I don’t have many friends. Apart from Eli, you’re the only friend who understands me. I’m afraid that our relationship will turn for the worse after we get together, and we’ll become isolated from each other. I don’t have the confidence to spend my life with you, and I’m also afraid of losing you. Could we please stay as we are now?” Stella said softly.
It was so soft that he didn’t want to force her anymore.
Allen promised her, “I won’t leave you, I’ll never leave you. Even if you don’t choose me in the end, I won’t leave you.”
Stella turned around, hugged Allen, closed her eyes, and burst into tears.
She didn’t know why, but she was very sad.
Having a confidante in life was a gift from the heavens.
Allen was nice to her, so nice that she felt wronged, and distressed for him when she rejected his feelings.
“Allen, let’s try dating each other,” Stella said softly.
She had decided that she should follow her own wishes to start a new life. A simple life would be the most realistic…
