After finishing his words, Clarence left straight away with his long legs.
Phoebe was stunned for a long time before she regained her consciousness. Did he mean to compare
her to Annie?
Phoebe bit her lower lip hard and her face was pale. Three years ago, he was reluctant to marry Stella.
What was the difference between Stella who brought their child to force Clarence to marry her and
Annie who forced Horace to marry her using intermarriage? Why did he compare her to them?
…
Stella finally found a suitable one-bedroom apartment, but the landlord said she could not sign the
contract until tomorrow, so she could only stay in the hotel for another night.
But she had to go back to Sherry’s house to take her clothes, then she just packed her luggage at the
same time.
Sherry pulled her suitcase reluctantly, “Stella, why don’t you continue to stay here. There is an extra
room anyway. I have told Liam and he had no problem with you staying here.”
Stella smiled, “What are you thinking. You two are a loving couple and I don’t want to be the third
wheel.”
“But you are alone, and even pregnant now…”
“Don’t worry. I still have Chan with me. It will be fine.”
Sherry knew that she had made up her mind and sighed, “Then, I will send you to the hotel. You have
so much luggage and you can’t take them alone.”
Stella nodded, “Okay.”
When they reached the hotel, Sherry laid on the big bed hugging the blanket and rolling around, “It’s so
comfortable here, I’ll just stay here with you for one night,”
Stella said while packing her things, “If you want to stay here overnight, I guess Liam will come to pick
you up very soon.”
Hearing her words, Sherry smiled and blushed slightly, “He became a different person after coming
back from overseas this time. He was clingy like the sticky candy.”
“You two haven’t seen each other for almost a year.” Stella was stunned for a moment and asked, “You
all should go and register for marriage after his coming back this time, right?”
Sherry nodded shyly, “I’m already looking at the wedding dresses and wedding venues today. I am just
waiting for him to propose to me.”
After Sherry finished her words, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have said something wrong.
When Stella got married to the wretch man, they only registered for their marriage. He didn’t organize
any ceremony for her. She didn’t even receive a wedding ring from him.
However, Stella did not have any reaction. She just smiled, “By the time you get married, I will help you
to design all the jewellery.”
Sherry pounced on her and hugged her, “Stella, you are my baby. I love you so much.”
“Okay, okay. Go back early, if not Liam will be worried if he can’t find you when he reaches home.”
“Then you take care of yourself. Remember to lock the door at night when you go to bed.”
“I know. Get home safe.”
Sherry received a text message from Liam after she just left the hotel and got into the car, “Baby, I am
sorry. I have a business dinner tonight and cannot go back early to accompany you. Go to bed earlier.”
“Okay, don’t drink too much.”
Liam had just come back from overseas. He had to learn to do a lot of work in the company and
needed to socialize with the colleagues, so Sherry didn’t think too much. She put her phone aside and
drove home.
Although she asked him not to drink too much, she knew that he couldn’t control how much wine he
needed to drink during the dinner.
She still had to go back and cook hangover soup for him, otherwise, she could just stay at Stella’s
place.
…
After Sherry left, Stella went to the pharmacy to buy folic acid. She also went to the supermarket to buy
snacks. When she was on her way back to the hotel, she saw someone selling snacks by the street
and also bought some.
When she walked back to the hotel, she saw a black Rolls Royce parked at the entrance.
It’s the wretch man’s car.
Stella was so furious until her sweat hairs stood up. Why did he come here? Was he coming to ask her
to pay him back his money? Didn’t she say she would pay him back by installment?
She furiously went forward and kicked the back part of the car hard and hurriedly ran into the hotel.
Clarence who was reaching out his hand to open the door of his car was speechless.
Stella ran back to her room very fast and carefully locked the door of her room.
She took ten minutes to make sure Clarence didn’t chase after her before taking out the snacks.
But who knew when she had just taken a bite, the doorbell rang and she heard a female voice, “Ms.
Radomil, a man said he found your things so I came to confirm with you.”
Through the peephole in her door, she saw a hotel staff standing at the door. She was a little hesitant to
open the door.
Not receiving her response, the staff worried that something had happened to her and rang the doorbell
again, “Ms. Radomil, are you there?”
Stella let out a breath and pulled open the door, “I’m here.”
She knew she had to open the door.
If Clarence was really looking for her to pay him back his money, she had to face him anyway.
The staff took out a small bag, “Ms. Radomil, see if this is yours?”
Stella opened the bag and took out a bottle from inside. The bottle was labeled ‘Folic Acid’.
She was stunned.
She spoke with difficulty after a long time, “It’s mine.”
It seemed like she guessed wrong, Clarence was not here to ask her to pay him back his money, but
he deliberately brought the thing to humiliate her.
“Didn’t you say it was antacid last night?”
She heard a cold and waveless male voice came from the side. When she turned her head stiffly, she
found Clarence leaning on the wall beside her. His eyes were cold and deep, looking at her silently.
She laughed humorlessly.
The staff looked around, “Ms. Radomil…”
“We know each other. Thank you.”
“Okay, then I will leave first. Miss. Radomil can call the front desk if you need anything.”
Stella nodded depressedly as if her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
She was helpless and desperate and didn’t know whether to tell him the truth.
But she knew how he would react before she told him.
Clarence was the father of the child in her belly and he indeed had the right to decide the life of his
child, but she really didn’t want to give birth to the child.
When she was very confused, Clarence who was frowning walked past her and went to her room,
“Pour me a glass of water.”
Stella closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she finished pouring water and came out, Clarence already laid on the sofa, looking slightly
exhausted.
Stella put the glass of water on the coffee table in front of him and spoke alertly, “Does Mr. Conrad
have anything to say?”
Clarence picked up the glass of water and tilted his head to drink it. His long fingers fiddled with the
mouth of the cup intentionally, saying coldly until Stella could not determine his mood, “Isn’t Horace
staying with you tonight?”
Stella was confused, “Why will he be staying with me?”
Clarence coldly curled his lips, “I see. He is busy spending time with another woman and doesn’t have
time to care about you.”
“What exactly does Mr. Conrad want to say?”
Clarence raised his eyes, “Stella, the Jason family have visited the Conrad family today. Do you know
why?”
“I don’t know.”
“Then I’ll tell you.” Clarence got up and approached her step by step, “The one Horace is going to
marry is Annie. Even if you get pregnant with his child as you wish, the child will be only an illegitimate
child. Do you know that using the same trick twice will only make people feel disgusted?”
