Stella felt the danger was approaching and couldn’t help but move backward. When she couldn’t move
backward anymore, her back touched the cold wall.
The word ‘disgusted’ made her regain her consciousness. She said calmly, “You misunderstood. I have
nothing to do with Horace.”
It was obvious that Clarence did not believe her statement. He raised his hand and cupped her chin,
narrowing his black eyes a bit and saying with a slightly cold voice, “Then why are you taking folic acid,
not to prepare for pregnancy?”
Stella was speechless.
She finally understood why he had such a reaction when he saw her taking folic acid.
She wanted to refute him several times, as no one stipulated that only a woman preparing for
pregnancy could take folic acid. But it was good that he thought so, at least he wouldn’t suspect that
she was pregnant.
Seeing her keeping silent, Clarence cupped her chin with a bigger force, “How far has the relationship
between you and Horace developed? How many times you two have sex?
Stella felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation, and she was angry and annoyed, “Do you think
everyone is like you who hooks up with different women everywhere? Horace and I are just friends.
No… It is because of you. If not, I may have been together with him a long time ago, and maybe we
have kids who have grown up.”
Clarence sneered, “You really still think about him.”
“Should I think about you if I don’t think about him? Don’t forget, Mr. Conrad. We have already divorced
and you cannot control me even if I want to do something with Horace. I…Mmm!”
Clarence lowered his head and covered her mouth fiercely, not letting her continue her words.
Stella raised her hand and tried to push him away, but she was held down by him against the wall.
Clarence cupped her chin with slight force, forcing her to open her mouth. Then he kissed her easily.
Stella’s eyes instantly turned red. This wretched man did not only bully her during their marriage but
also acted so shameless after they had divorced. She was fed up with him seriously.
Stella struggled desperately to escape from him, but not long after that, a rusty taste spread between
their lips and teeth.
Clarence slowly moved his lips away from hers, but his hand still controlled her. He said flatly, “Didn’t I
make you feel comfortable just now? Why are you biting me so hard?”
Stella controlled her shivering body and spoke in a cold voice, “If Mr. Conrad was doing such beastly
things because you have been abstinent for too long and had too much energy, then I think you should
go find another woman to vent your sexual desire.”
“I’m here to find you.”
Stella took a breath. She could not understand why the wretched man could say that sentence like he
was morally right.
She was teetering on the edge of being pissed off at him, “Mr. Conrad, I hope you can control your
bestial behavior. We have divorced already and I don’t have the obligations to serve you as your wife. I
can sue you if you do that again.”
Clarence frowned unhappily, “Don’t mention the word ‘divorce’ in front of me.”
Stella said, “We have terminated the legal relationship established under the equal and voluntary
consent of both of us.”
Clarence was speechless.
He used his thumb to wipe away the blood that was an eyesore at the corner of her lips, “How come I
didn’t realize you have the gift of the gab before this?”
“That’s because you didn’t know me very well.”
“Did our marriage cause you could not speak so eloquently?”
Stella was speechless.
She wondered if the wretched man was crazy. He was fierce and evil just now, then the next second he
was telling her this kind of cold jokes that were not funny at all.
Before Stella said anything, Clarence said again, “Stella, someone said I like you.”
Stella did not say anything.
“Do you believe it?”
She remained silent.
“Even I also don’t believe it. Or in other words, do you think it is possible that I like you?”
Stella was speechless.
She wondered why he didn’t want to go find the person who said the sentence that would cause one to
be punished by God and had to come and tell her this.
Stella could not tolerate him and when she just wanted to scold him, she smelled a faint smell of
tobacco and wine on his body.
During the three years of their marriage, Clarence rarely smoked unless he encountered something
very annoying.
But this had nothing to do with her, he still could not insult her unscrupulously even if he was in a bad
mood.
Clarence let go of her hand after not receiving any response from her, “I’ll give you a chance to explain
to me about the folic acid.”
Stella pursed her lips. She really felt so annoyed as he said he said he would give her a chance.
Clarence added, “Stella, I would believe your every word, so think clearly before you answer.”
Thinking about the 10 million debt, Stella still compromised with him and said some nonsense
seriously, “It’s not mine. It’s Sherry’s … She is getting married soon with her boyfriend and they are
preparing to have a baby.”
“How come her things are in your bag?”
“I live with her, and we work in the same magazine publisher. I brought it to her as she went out too
anxiously and forgot to bring it out. Is there any problem?”
Clarence didn’t say anything, and Stella didn’t know whether he believed her sentence.
After two seconds, he said, “Aren’t you living with her? Then what are you doing in the hotel?”
Stella was annoyed by his question, “Don’t you have your brain to think about it? She is going to have a
baby with her boyfriend. Is that appropriate if I continue to live there?”
Clarence didn’t say anything.
Stella said, “Can Mr. Conrad leave now if you have nothing else to say? I don’t want to be inexplicably
labeled as ‘disgusting’ again after staying with you in the same room.”
“As long as people have mouths, they can gossip.”
Damn, wasn’t this because of you!
Clarence said relaxingly, “If you don’t want to be gossiped about, I can be aggrieved to remarry you. As
long as we are having an equal and legal relationship, no one has the right to gossip.”
Just as he finished his words, Stella couldn’t help but retch.
Clarence immediately turned angry and he gritted his teeth and said, “Stella!”
Before Stella could speak, she pushed him away and ran to the bathroom. She hugged the toilet bowl
and threw up very badly.
After a while, when she came out of the toilet, she saw Clarence standing in the same place, displaying
a cold look.
He said with a cold face, “What, did my words make you feel sick?”
“I am just having a bit of gastric pain. But if you think so, I have no problem with that.”
Before she finished her words, Clarence closed the door loudly and left.
She smiled sarcastically and sat down again on the sofa.
But she lost her appetite looking at the cold snacks in front of her.
She sighed, then hastily packed up her things and lay down on the bed.
She felt extremely uncomfortable during the night.
She touched the corner of her broken mouth angrily. She thought that the wretched man was drunk and
turned crazy. This is because she had blocked every platform he could use to contact her and tried to
stay away from him as far as possible, but he still could make her in trouble.
She really didn’t know why she could encounter so many troubles.
She rolled over and put her hand on her stomach.
Luckily, at least he believed why she bought the folic acid. Even if he didn’t, he never suspected that
she was taking it because she was pregnant.
