18 Floors Above the Apocalypse
Chapter 257
Chapter 257
Stella and Jasper had already celebrated their housewarming dinner on their own, feasting on delicacies like foie gras, filet mignon wrapped in Iberian ham and caviar, and a bottle of '82 Lafite. Cooper had his share too and licked his plate clean.
When their neighbor Austin invited them over for his housewarming party, Stella couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she readily agreed, "Sure."
"Just come over, no need to bring anything." Knowing his son liked to play with Rosie, Austin specifically instructed, "Remember to bring Rosie and Cooper." Austin and his son lived in a sprawling villa. Whenever Monkey and others had no business, they would come over, often gathering to eat or play cards together. The days were comfortable, no doubt, but quite boring.
Jasper was mostly silent, only becoming particularly enthusiastic when making love with Stella. The rest of the time, he would work, read, practice, eat and sleep. It was mostly Stella who initiated conversations.
While lying in bed, Stella playfully tickled him, "What should we gift Austin for his housewarming party?"
Jasper, not adept at social etiquette, thought for a moment, "A bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes?"
Austin lacked nothing, and his housewarming party would be grand. The appetites of the three of them, plus Cooper, were not small, especially the food-loving dog. Stella agreed, "Sounds good."
The next day, early in the morning, the neighborhood began to buzz with activity.
Austin's men brought their families over, the yard filled with laughter and light-hearted teasing among the women while the children played happily.
Stella wasn't fond of social gatherings, especially with unfamiliar people. Thankfully, the windows were soundproof, so she quickly closed them.
Around eleven in the morning, the intercom rang, "Jasper, bring everyone over for lunch."
Soon, Dylan knocked on the door, with several children following behind him, all here to pick up Rosie and Cooper.
Stella, carrying the gift, joined the family heading across the street for lunch. As soon as they stepped out, Dylan greeted them, "Hi, I'm here to play with Rosie."
He even offered Rosie some candy. Rosie didn't accept it, but instinctively looked at her brother.
Jasper gave the command, "Rosie, say thank you."
Rosie thanked Dylan and accepted the candy but didn't eat it. She put it in her pocket.
