His Charming Wife

Chapter 5

In a villa located halfway up the Nano District mountain, a dimly lit room was filled with the aroma of fresh apples. A pink bed in the room was covered with wrinkled sheets.

Federick Addington sat among the sheets, halfsquinting his eyes. His thick black lashes blocked his dark eyes, and a chilly glint flashed through his eyes.

His rosy lips were parted slightly.

Federick Addington was an angel carved by the heavens, his delicate appearance and charming character were always adorned with a charming smile on his face.

A woman bent across him, trying to seduce him with her tongue. She moaned softly, tempting him.

"I want you." She pleaded.

Federick Addington bowed his head and smiled playfully. He pinched her lovely chin and lifted it up. "Do you want me?"

"Yes."

"I'm a little tired today. Let's do this another day." Federick Addington said, with a hint of callousness. He stood up and walked to the bathroom.

Tonight, he felt that this was meaningless. Federick Addington left the villa early. Outside, Federick Addington picked up his mobile phone and called Stella Grace

One, two, three...

Stella Grace did not answer.

Federick Addington curled up the corners of his mouth and murmured, “You want to play with me? Very good." Federick Addington dialed Stella Grace’ s downtown apartment again.

One, two, three.

His patience was fading away.

"Hello." The voice of the housemaid, Betty, rang out in a daze.

"Where is Madam?" Federick Addington asked coldly.

"Sir. Madam has yet to return home." Betty replied.

"Is she on duty today?" Federick Addington's eyes became colder.

"No."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

As soon as Betty's voice fell away, Federick Addington hung up the phone.

"Stella, you have learned to stay out at night!" Federick Addington sped up and drove toward the hospital. Stella Grace returned to the hospital. She opened the drawer and took out her mobile phone.

At 2.31 a.m,. there was a call from Federick Addington. Stella Grace put down her phone with a sad smile. She took out a plaster from the drawer, along with some iodine.

Stella Grace walked to the mirror and tilted her neck.

A scar had already formed, the size of a needle.

If she didn't look closely, she couldn't see it.

But for safety, she put on a plaster on her neck.

She returned to her chair.

She dipped a cotton swab in same iodine and dabbed on the wounds on her hands, finally placing three plasters on them After that. she lay on the bed in the office.

"Crack." The door was pushed open.

Stella Grace sat up warily.

When Federick Addington saw her, his tight face showed a charming smile as usual.

Federick Addington put his hands into his pocket and walked up to her lazily. "You don't have to be on duty today. Why didn’t you go home to sleep?" Stella Grace looked at the hickey mark on his neck.

Fie had just finished with his disgusting business!

"Why are you here?" Stella Grace ignored his question, put on her shoes, and sat up.

"I was just passing by!" Federick Addington said leisurely, seeing the plaster on her neck.

A mocking smile appeared on his handsome face. "Stella, when did you learn to hurt yourself?”

Stella Grace looked at Federick Addington calmly.

There was no guilt or shame on his face.

He behaved as he was not having these affairs, as if he had never gotten another woman pregnant.

A fit of anger boiled from the bottom of Stella Grace’s heart, and her eyes narrowed sharply.

"Yeah, I’m hurting myself! But this. compared to the pain of watching your affairs..."

"Ssi!"

Before she could finish, Federick Addington ripped off the plaster on her neck suddenly.

Stella Grace felt a sharp pain on her neck.

The pain was so intense, she felt cold. She was momentarily disoriented and forgot what she wanted to say. She stood there in a daze, there was a glazed look in her eyes.

Federick Addington looked at her smooth neck with disgust.

“You are not hurt at all. Stella, you are too scheming. No matter how good a clown can act, a clown is still a clown.” Federick Addington said sarcastically.

Stella Grace felt so cold in her heart, she felt that there was no need to explain to him. "You can leave now.” Stella Grace said bluntly. Federick Addington's eyes flashed sharply.

Federick Addington held Stella Grace's chin and pushed her to the bed. Fie stared at her cold face and said sarcastically, "Do you know why I don't want to touch you?"

Stella Grace pursed her lips and looked at Federick Addington quietly. Her heartstrings pulled tight, she was in so much pain.

Stella Grace wanted to remember his cruelty clearly so that her heart could finally grow as cold as stone, she did not want to feel any more pain!

Seeing thatshe did not speak, Federick Addington grew angrier. > and didnot bother to hide his disgust for her. "Because you are te) arrogant and annoying, and © whatever you do disgusts me.”

Stella Grace’s eyelashes fluttered, and her watery eyes were covered with a layer of tears. She stared at Federick Addington quietly, neither crying nor refuting.

But in her heart, she was bleeding

"I know that. Do you know why I married you even when I know you despise me?" Stella Grace asked. Federick Addington suddenly stopped. Fie frowned and sized her up.

Stella Grace broke into a charming smile.

When she smiled, she could turn the world upside down. Even Federick Addington was smitten by her smile.

"Because l-wan

Federick Addington pushed her away.

"Just you wait for a letter from my lawyer. I am getting a divorce. You want to destroy me, don't you dare even dream about it." Federick Addington said irrationally.

Federick Addington turned around, took out a tissue from Stella Grace's desk, and wiped his hands thoroughly. It was as if he had touched something dirty.

Federick Addington rolled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

Fie turned around, quickly walked out of the door, and closed the door.

Bang!

Stella Grace looked at the closed door and sat on the bed with tears in her eyes.

She lay back on the bed and closed her eyes, but her chest throbbed painfully.

Once, she had loved him wholeheartedly.

However, what did her love mean to him?

He was theone who proposed the marriagecbut also the one who <= betrayedher, and now also the one who divorces her. She was like a clown, getting laughed at © despicably.

Her heart ached so much, she could barely breathe.

Stella Grace curled up tightly, holding her body tightly as if she were trying to absorb warmth from her own body so that she would not die of cold. She lay awake and only fell asleep when light appeared in the sky.

At the military camp.

Flipping through the documents handed over by Lieutenant Johnson, Jasper Milton frowned and guilt flashed across his dark eyes.

He did not know that Stella Grace had led such a miserable life after marriage.

Stella Grace and her husband were separated. Her parents-in-law had a bad relationship, and her mother had been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Her husband had 16 lovers.

On average, he only spent two and a half months with each woman.

Jasper Milton closed the document and instructed Lieutenant Johnson, "Inform the hospital director to have her promoted to deputy director."
