HappyNovelChapter 17
Stella turned her head and spotted a rebellious-looking young man swaggering over with a group of his rowdy
friends. She recognized him instantly - Jasper Wilkinson.
He was Haynes' friend and one of Rachel's most devoted admirers. From the first day Stella dated Haynes, Jasper
made it clear that he didn't think much of her, constantly mocking and belittling her.
When Rachel returned, Jasper was the most enthusiastic go-between, ferrying messages between Rachel and
Haynes. If Rachel had so much as a sniffle or a hair out of place, Jasper would be on the phone to Haynes, urging
him to rush to her side. More than once, he'd suggested Stella step aside for Rachel.
Jasper sauntered to Stella, a mocking grin on his face. "Hey there, the housewife. Shouldn't you be at home
learning to be the perfect homemaker and keeping your husband happy? What are you doing out here, showing
your face in public? That's not how a good housewife behaves."
Stella was the sort of woman who could host a dinner party with grace and whip up a mean apple pie without
breaking a sweat. She was so adept at it all. So, Jasper had nicknamed her "Housewife." From then on, anyone in
Haynes' circle who saw Stella would greet her with that sderisive title.
Jasper's attitude and tone were grating, and Abby furrowed her brow in annoyance. Stella maintained composed,

Seeing this, Jasper didn't back down. Instead, he whistled, feigning surprise. "Oh, con, the housewife. Don't
tellyou can't take a little joke?"
His buddies interrupted, egging him on. "Yeah, Mrs. O'Brien, lighten up! Don't be so uptight. You'll embarrass
Haynes!"
"Besides," one of them added, "Jasper's right. Aren't you just a housewife, looking after your husband and child?"
"You think you can compare to Rachel?" another sneered. "Rachel graduated from the prestigious Neo-Vespera
University, in case you didn't know."
"Neo-Vespera University," Abby repeated, looking at Stella. "I've never heard of Rachel!"
Jasper snorted, casting a dismissive glance at Abby. "You've got a lot to learn. Try getting out more to broaden
your horizons."
Abby raised an eyebrow. "Star, who is this guy? He's got a real superiority complex, doesn't he?"
Stella replied coldly, "One of Rachel's admirers. You can call him a simp."
"Oh, he's Rachel's simp!" Abby exclaimed, her anger dissipating. "No wonder he's so annoying. It makes sense
now."

Stella added smoothly, "Don't mind him, Abby. He's not worth our time."
Jasper's crew shifted uncomfortably, realizing they had a taste of their own medicine.
