Chapter 66

by the following days, Stephanie returned home tate. She would fall asleep after a quick shower.

She had prepared another proposal known only to her and Julianna. So, they were the ones handling the finished clothes.

Vincent was unaware of Stephanie’s plan and thought she was avoiding him after that night.

That night, Stephanie returned, exhausted,

She immediately lay on the bed. At That sight. Vincent massaged her shoulders, saying, “You look really tired.”

“Yeah,” Stephanie said before explaining the entire situation to Vincent.

Only then did Vincent realize that Stephanie was genuinely tired and not avoiding him.

Seeing Vincent deep in thought, Stephanie swiftly sat on his lap and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s on your mind?”

He stared at her intently before replying. “I’m wondering if Aunt Flo has left.”

Stephanie blushed upon hearing that. She knew what Vincent meant. “She left several days ago,” she whispered.

Vincent gulped. He whispered back, “Does that mean I can…”

Stephanie, avoiding eye contact, nodded slightly.

However, Vincent didn’t make a move.

Curious, Stephanie looked up and found him staring at her without blinking. “What are you looking at?” she asked.

“Just looking at my woman,” Vincent replied truthfully.

He then carefully turned to kiss her sweet and tempting lips.

She was so tender that he wanted to meld her into his body, becoming an inseparable part of him.

In the s p a c i o u s room, all that could be heard was their intertwined breaths and the sound of kisses.

Suddenly, the untimely growling of a stomach disrupted the moment.

Stephanic felt embarrassed. She didn’t expect her stomach to growl at such a crucial moment.

Vincent stopped and pressed her against the bed, panting

After a while, he chuckled and asked, “Hungry?”

“I didn’t have time to eat dinner earlier,” Stephanie mumbled.

“How about I make you some spaghetti bolognese?” asked Vincent.

Stephanie’s eyes lit up. She asked, “You can make spaghetti bolognese?”

“Yeah, do you want to try?” Vincent responded.

Stephanie said, “Sure,”

With that, Vincent rose and pulled Stephanie up. He urged, “Let’s go to the kitchen.”

At the door, Stephanie suddenly grabbed his arm and reminded him, “You forgot about the wheelchair.”

Vincent took a deep breath before saying, “Stephie, aren’t you curious why I keep using the wheelchair?”

“Although lin curious, I think you have your reasons. I don’t believe not telling me means you don’t love me. Everyone has secrets. You don’t need to feel burdened. Stephanie replied, her eyes sparkling.

Vincent held her tightly in his arms. He didn’t tell Stephanie because he didn’t want her to worry about him. “Stephie, you’re amazing.” he remarked.

Vincent lowered his head to kiss Stephanie while she leaned on his shoulders, returning his kisses

After a while, they stopped.

“Let me make some spaghetti bolognese for you,” Vincent said. He returned to his wheelchair, and Stephanie wheeled him to the kitchen.

After she prepared the ingredients, he took over.

Vincent looked sideways after hearing Stephanie’s laughter. He asked, “What’s so amusing?”

Stephanie shrugged and said, “I thought you might not be tall enough in the wheelchair, but, as it turns out, it’s just right.”

Vincent raised an eyebrow. He said, “You underestimated my height. It’s okay. As long as you don’t underestimate my length.”

Stephanie was speechless and thought, ‘So this is who you really are, huh? Why are you so flirtatious now?”

Soon, the kitchen was filled with the scent of food.

Vincent skillfully plated the spaghetti bolognese.

Stephanie picked up a fork and tasted it. Her eyes immediately lit up as she said, “It’s delicious! I didn’t expect you to be such a good cook!”

“Eat more. You’ll need

d the energy later,” Vincent answered as his gaze deepened.

Stephanie was rendered speechless.

She finished the spaghetti bolognese. Just as Stephanie was about to whoal Vincent back to the bedroom, they bumped into Linda at the kitchen

entrance.

She said respectfully, “Mr. Fletcher, Mrs. Fletcher, I’ll clean up the dishes. Please go and rest.”

Stephanie smiled faintly and agreed. Then, she wheeled Vincent back into the bedroom.

She pursed her lips and said, “I’ll shower now.”

“Let’s shower together,” Vincent suggested, embracing her waist.

With that, he led Stephanie into the bathroom. Vincent turned the k n b, and warm water from the shower head soaked their clothes.

Her eyelashes fluttered, nervousness evident in her eyes.

worry, I’ll be gentle.”

Stephanie was enticed by his voice. She grabbed his neck and exchanged kisses with him,

As Vincent’s hand slipped under her clothes, an untimely phone vibration disrupted the moment.

Only then did Stephanie realize her phone, in her pocket, was now soaked.

Vincent sighed, buried his face in her shoulder, and turned the k n o b. He said, “Answer it. It might be an important call”

Stephanie took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Glovannt. She immediately answered it.

“Boss, Linda is eavesdropping outside your bedroom now,” said Giovanni

“Don’t come out yet!” Stephanie exclaimed. Her eyes were filled with anger. After saying that, she quickly walked out.

She abruptly opened the door and caught Linda eavesdropping

“What are you doing?” Stephanie questioned.

Panicked, Linda stammered, “1- just wanted to ask what you and Mr. Fletcher would like to have for breakfast.”

Stephanie smirked. She remarked, “Aren’t you eavesdropping?”

“I wouldn’t dare!” Linda cried, shaking her head.

Stephanie replied, “There’s nothing you wouldn’t dare do!” Then, she immediately called Connor, saying, “Linda is outside my room. Take her to the living room.”

Connor replied, “Yes, Mrs. Fletcher. I’m coming.”

Connor soon arrived and took Linda downstairs.

Stephanie closed the door, turned back to the bathroom, and said, “Linda was eavesdropping at the door. Prior to this, I noticed her always sneaking glances at me. So, I had Giovanni watch her. Since we were previously monitoring Olivia, the surveillance cameras were never turned off. Now, we caught her red-handed. Her actions are suspicious. Perhaps questioning her will reveal unexpected results.”

The earlier romantic atmosphere had vanished. Vincent nodded, and they then changed into loungewear before heading downstairs.

Linda stood nervously in the living room, continuously fidgeting

Seeing Stephanie wheeling Vincent over, Linda hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Fletcher, I really wasn’t eavesdropping.”

Vincent’s eyes were icy and intimidating, and no one dared to look at him. “After Lydia left, you arrived at Tranquil Garden, Who arranged for you to be

here?” he demanded.

Linda shook her head, crying, “No one. No one arranged for me to come here. I didn’t do anything wrong to you two.”

“Connor, please bring me her phone. Even if she deleted the evidence, it’s okay. It can always be recovered,” Stephanie responded with her chin raised.

Linda’s nose was sweaty as she kneeled, begging, “Mr. Fletcher, Mrs. Fletcher, have mercy. I made a mistake. Someone contacted me and offered me 40,000 dollars to check if Mr. Fletcher is really disabled. I know I acted impulsively.”

Connor searched Linda and found her phone. He handed it to Stephanie.

Vincent stared at Linda coldly. A silent and chilling pressure filled the entire living room.

“Connor, have someone take her to Snake Forest,” Vincent ordered.

“Snake Forest Linda thought.

She was terrified. She revealed, “I only sent one message

essage to that person but never sent another one.”

“What did you send?” Stephanie questioned.

Linda replied truthfully, “When I was washing your bedsheets last time, I noticed bloodstains. So, I thought you two had consummated your marriage. I sent this information to the person. Really. It was just one time. Mr. Fletcher, I’m begging you. Don’t send me to Snake Forest! I have an 80-year-old mother and a young grandson. I can’t handle this!”

Vincent’s eyes were icy. He said, “People would die for money. You’ve been around for 50 years. Don’t you get it? When you make a mistake, you must face the consequences,”

With that, Connor asked people to take the struggling Linda downstairs,

Stephanie asked, “Any idea who this person might be?”

Vincent squinted, his tongue pressed against his teeth. He answered, “Right now, Douglas is the prime suspect,”

“Do you know who poisoned the drinks?” Stephanie inquired.

Vincent nodded slightly. He said, “They fled to the southwest. We can catch them in a day or two.”

The night Vincent was poisoned, all the executives in the private room had touched that bottle of wine. However, it was eventually confirmed that someone tampered with Vincent’s glass. A layer of substance was applied to the rim of the glass.

The waiter who delivered the wine had long run away, making a few stops before finally heading to the southwest.

At that moment, Zane called.

After answering the phone, Vincent listened to Zane’s report, and his eyes narrowed.
