A Miracle Fault

Chapter 38 A Midnight Meeting

Stefan looked livid. Then he held her hand tight, "Leave him alone! Honey, that's his job. Are you hungry now?"

Emmeline shook her head, "No. Are we going to the hotel?"

"No. I have lived here for a period of time when I went here to cure my legs. So I have a house here." Stefan held her hand.

Soon, the car reached beside a nice house.

The house looked just like a castle in the front. Under the moonlight, Emmeline could see the white wall on its surface and a gilt gate, on the yard of which there were parked two Rolls-Royce Phantoms.

Stefan got off the car and got himself onto the wheelchair. He pushed the door opened. The decoration was brand new and all furniture was well organized.

After putting away the luggage, Paul went to the kitchen to cook some food. Arthur was about to leave, "Stefan, just have a nice sleep. I will be here to have lunch tomorrow."

Stefan glanced at him, "Have you been starving yourself? Why do you come for meals as soon as I arrive?"

Arthur was speechless, 'What a stingy guy! It was I who picked you up!'

Seeing that Emmeline was taking the luggage herself to go upstairs, he walked over to Stefan, "This girl is much better than Anayah. Stefan, what a treasure for you!"

"She is my wife!" Stefan squinted at him.

"Hey, Stefan, don't forget that you brought her here! You can't always keep her in the dark, right? Are you sure she won't betray you? Besides, the name of your wife in your marriage certificate is Anayah Campbell." Arthur looked at him while holding a key.

Stefan looked sullen and frowned, "I will handle all these." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

As Arthur just left, Emmeline went downstairs and saw Stefan sitting on the couch, silent. Then she walked over, "Did Mr. Arthur leave?"

"Yes. His name is Arthur Roberts. The manager of the branch in France." Stefan replied casually.

"I know. He is your best friend, right? I still remember that you tell me both Jaiden and Asher are also your best friends. All of you stay together like brothers." Then she sat beside him.

"Stefan, don't be pessimistic. Your legs will recover. Besides, you have so many friends. They all hope that you can stand up again. When will we meet the doctor?"

She deemed herself that if his legs recovered, her work would be done.

Stefan still remained silent. He just stared at her. He could tell that she really cared about him from the bottom of her heart. He just fixed his eyes on her tiny pretty face.

'Honey, don't betray me. Just stay with me. I will give you a nice life and all my love!'

After taking some food, they went upstairs to take a bath and sleep.

When Emmeline got up the next morning, Stefan took her to have a house tour around. As they entered the study, Emmeline saw a lot of comic pictures there. She walked over with great surprise, "Did you draw all these? So beautiful!"

Stefan walked over, "Yes. I drew these to kill time when I stayed here to cure my legs. You like them?"

Emmeline nodded, "Yes, you are so good at drawing! I major in design but I love drawing. I have ever attended a drawing competition in the campus and I won a prize."

She still remembered she draw a painting named The Green Beauty when she went hiking with Agnes and Antonio. The painting was about a little blossom growing on a rock on a mountain.

When Antonio took her painting to compete in a show held in campus, then she happened to win a third prize, which made her quite happy.

Antonio looked at her with infatuation, "Emmeline, when we go to America, I can make you major in painting for further study. I know you may be more interested in painting."

At the thought of that, Emmeline felt like crying.

Seeing that she looked sad while holding his painting, Stefan could tell that it might remind her of her sad story in the past.

He walked over and took away the painting, "What are you thinking?"

Emmeline collected herself and smiled bitterly, "Nothing."

Stefan frowned, "Just tell me the truth. Remember, you are my wife. You have been recognized as Mrs. Stefan. Just stay by my side. You can do whatever you want. I can meet all your needs."

He held her cold hands and stroked her.

His eyes still looked dark and mysterious like the night sky. Emmeline stared at him blankly. She was wondering if she should believe him. After staying together for so long, she could tell that he was no longer cold as before, but he still remained to be a weird-tempered guy.

Though Anayah was his legitimate wife, it was Emmeline who had been living with him. She knew herself that her identity seemed to be quite awkward, but she had to rely on him to sustain her own life.

She moved her lips and was about to utter. But she still held it back.

When seeing that, Stefan looked sullen. Obviously, she still didn't want to confess everything about herself. He could tell that this girl still needed to feel a sense of security. Since then, he decided to figure out a way to make her totally rely on him.

Emmeline had been staying in the study to paint at night.

Stefan entered at 11:00 PM. When seeing her still painting attentively, he felt softhearted.

He went over to her side and saw that she was painting a house. It was exactly the one they lived in at this moment!

He didn't expect that she actually kept the contour of the house in her mind just in her first day of arrival. And her painting looked real. Stefan stared at the painting and said, "Nice painting! Time to sleep."

"Okay." Emmeline stood up and put away the paintbrush. She was also satisfied with her own painting.

After shower, Emmeline soon fell into sleep as she felt tired. Stefan pushed the door opened and looked at her. Then he closed the door and went downstairs to leave the house.

The ML Group was a company located at the southern part of Lille, the owner of which was Stefan. The group mainly engaged in real estate, entertainment and fashion industry.

Stefan founded this group five years ago. Then he made Arthur the manager.

Three years ago, Stefan went to France to cure his legs. When he could stand up again at that time, the ML Group had turned to be one of the Fortune 500 companies.

He reached the 36th floor and then the door was opened. All staffs were lining up to receive his arrival. Stefan was wearing a black shirt, green overcoat and black suit pants, which highlighted his slender legs.

His eyes looked sharp. He pushed the door opened to stride inside as if he were the king of the world.

"Nice to see you again, Master Stefan!" all staffs bowed to greet him.

Arthur smiled at him, "Stefan, we have been waiting for you till midnight! And you finally got yourself away from your loving wife, right? Unfortunately, the rest of us here are all single still!"

Stefan glanced at him, "Are you sure you want a girl? I can find you one if you don't mind that."

Arthur was stunned and then kept waving his hand to refuse, "Just kidding! I don't want any girl!" Of course, he wanted no girl except for a specific one. However, that girl he wanted had disappeared in his life for three years.

The meeting didn't end until 3:00 AM. When all lights on the street were off and there was no pedestrian wandering around, Stefan finally dismissed the meeting. There would be a great war next month.

So he had to be more cautious.
