Chapter 765 They Used To Be Together
“Gracie?” Stella blurted out.
In her memories, there was a dog, and it was also on a boat. She had a good relationship with the dog.
She wasn’t clear if its name was Gracie.
Jasper looked at her deeply.
Stella smiled awkwardly and explained, “I mean, it looks graceful. It looks strong and cute too.”
“Its name really is Gracie,” Jasper said as he got on the yacht and caressed Gracie’s head.
His expression softened a lot and his eyes became less sharp as he caressed Gracie’s head.
Stella’s eyes softened too. She had thought about raising a dog before, but she had to go on business trips sometimes, so she was worried that she might starve the dog to death.
Also, since Allen was going to live with her from now on, it wouldn’t be a great idea to have a dog since he had asthma.
“Does it usually stay on board?” Stella asked.
“Yes, it likes to stay on the yacht. This place is its world,” Jasper said in a gentle voice as he stroked Gracie’s head.
Stella also squatted down, and Gracie rushed to her immediately and wagged its tail happily.
Stella liked Gracie from the bottom of her heart. When she caressed Gracie’s head, Gracie laid on the floor obediently.
Stella’s heart became softer. Why was Gracie so cute? She liked it very much.
“Gracie!” Stella called out to it.
It immediately stood up and stuck out its tongue with a smiling face.
“Do you have dog food? I want to feed it,” Stella said softly.
“Yes,” Jasper took a bowl over.
When Gracie saw Jasper taking out its feeding bowl, it immediately ran in his direction.
Jasper handed the bowl to Stella.
Stella retrieved the bowl and put it on the floor.
Gracie came to eat immediately.
“Is there any water? Dogs need to drink more water in the summer,” Stella said.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jasper went back to get Gracie’s water bottle and handed it to Stella.
Stella wanted to feed Gracie the water, but Gracie didn’t want it. Instead, it continued eating.
“How long have you not fed it? It seems very hungry,” Stella complained.
“I would feed it once in the morning and once in the evening,” Jasper explained.
Stella looked at him in surprise, “Do you usually live on this yacht?”
“Yes,” Jasper replied.
“What happens to Gracie when you go on business trips then?” Stella asked worriedly.
“I know all the fishermen here, and I would ask them to take care of Gracie for me. Gracie also knows them and gets along very well with them,” Jasper explained.
Stella touched Gracie’s head and said, “Gracie is so awesome.”
Allen watched their interaction. He knew that yacht. In the past, that yacht used to be Stella’s, but he didn’t expect that Jasper had been living on that yacht all this while.
“When are we leaving?” Allen asked.
“Give me a moment, I’ve got someone to buy something for us. He will be here in about three minutes,” Jasper said.
“Alright,” Allen replied.
He then went to the top of the ship.
Surely enough, everything was exactly the same as the way it was. Nothing had changed.
He felt a faint discomfort in his heart. He lay on the lounge chair and enjoyed the gentle sea breeze.
After a while, Jasper’s men arrived. They bought a lot of things.
Fishing bait, vegetables, meat, fruits, coffee and so on.
Jasper went to the steering room After his men arrived. He sailed the ship out and determined the duration and latitude of the vessel, then, he let the ship sail on its own.
He cut a watermelon in half, then again into smaller slices, and placed them on the plate. Then, he put some pears and oranges on the plate. He served them out and subconsciously looked for Stella. She was still playing with Gracie.
He smiled, and his resolute expression softened a lot.
“Come to the top of the yacht and have some fruits,” Jasper shouted while carrying the fruits to the top of the yacht.
Allen was still enjoying the sea breeze.
Jasper placed the plate of fruits in front of him.
“Thank you,” Allen said.
Jasper put the other plate on the bar counter next to him and sat down on the sofa. He then looked out at the distant sea without saying anything.
Allen chuckled.
Jasper turned to look at Allen.
Allen said with a smile, “I think that we’re the most friendly rivals, aren’t we?”
“She treats you as a friend, so even if you are my rival in love, there is no need for me to be unfriendly to you. I know that you were the one supporting her by her side in her most difficult times. I thank you for that,” Jasper said calmly.
Allen shrugged.
Jasper praising him was out of his expectations, so he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“Are you really going to stay in the United States? If she doesn’t choose you, won’t you feel sad?” Jasper asked.
“You came all the way here to find her. If she doesn’t choose you, would you be sad?” Allen asked back.
“No matter where she is, I will stay by her side. I won’t force her to make any decisions,” Jasper said as he looked far into the distance.
“Me too. Regardless of whether she chooses me, I’ll always stay by her side,” Allen said.
“I have two children with her. The children need her,” Jasper said indifferently.
“But she chose to let go. She is a very strong person. She was fearless even when she was facing terrorists. Such a girl chose to forget. I think that the harm you have brought her is enough to make her want to completely forget about you. I have an advantage against you,” Allen said with a smile.
Jasper pursed his lips and did not speak. His eyes dimmed and turned into a black hole. It carried so much that no one could see it clearly.
Stella came up with a smile on her face and said to Jasper, “I like your dog very much, it’s very obedient. As soon as I call it, it will come over and roll on its back. It’s very cute.”
“If you act as though you had shot it, it would even fall and lay on the ground. But its most powerful ability is that it could buy things. Sometimes when I dress it up, I will hang a plastic bag around its neck and put money in to let it buy things,” Jasper said.
“Will it bring the things it bought back?” Stella said with amazement.
“Yes, there is a vegetable market nearby. Many farmers sell vegetables there, and they all know it,” Jasper explained.
Stella smiled. She decided that if she was old and still hadn’t found a person she wanted to live with for the rest of her life, she would raise a dog to accompany her until she grew old. That way, she would not be lonely.
After all, dogs were known to be men’s best friends and were very loyal to their masters.
She lay down on the chair and felt the sea breeze. The sea breeze blew on her face, which made her feel very comfortable and refreshed.
“I’ve lived on a deserted island before,” Stella suddenly said.
Jasper was slightly stunned. He looked at her and waited for her to continue.
Stella closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, “I remember that there were a lot of crabs on the island. However, crabs run very fast. Many of them will drill themselves into the sand, but some of them will run into the sea instead. With a fishing net, you could catch a lot of crabs every day.”
“What about winter? Isn’t the sea cold? Do you still dive into the sea?” Allen asked.
“I used to catch wild boars and wild rabbits to store them. I would also dry wild vegetables too. They could be eaten in winter like that. Winter on the deserted island was very beautiful. There were also many delicacies, it was so relaxing to live there,” Stella recalled.
