After they finished kissing each other, Liam hurriedly left the room.
Stella was just about to keep her phone and she heard a cold voice coming from her back, “I didn’t
expect you to have such a special hobby.”
She was speechless.
She didn’t intend to explain to him, and she left with quick steps after she sneered at him.
When Clarence was about to leave, he stepped on something.
He looked down and saw a paper bag with the phrase ‘Maternal and Infant Products’ written on it.
He looked calm as he bent down and picked up the paper bag.
After Stella left the hotel, she just wanted to call Sherry, but she remembered that she was currently
shooting. Therefore, she opened the WeChat chat box again and deleted the words after typing them
several times.
She became grieved after doing so.
Sherry and Liam had been together for several years and their relationship had always been good.
Liam was well off and had a lot of pursuers. However, no matter how other women tried to hook up with
him, Sherry was the only apple in his eyes.
At that time, people even laughed at Liam for being Sherry’s follower as he followed her everywhere
she went, but he was happy to do so.
But she never expected that everything would have changed after Liam went overseas for only one
year.
Sherry was still waiting for him to propose to her.
So, was love going to disappear?
Stella put down her phone powerlessly, as she didn’t know how to tell Sherry about this at all.
She looked down suddenly and realized that the baby clothes she had just bought were gone.
She stood frozen in place for several seconds before accepting the fact that the clothes had been left in
the hotel room.
She felt annoyed as if her head was about to explode, as she had only been living in peace for a
month, but then now she kept meeting bad news.
Stella didn’t have the courage to go back to look for it, nor did she have the mood to argue with
Clarence.
After she returned to her condominium, she laid in bed for a long time, and only after she felt relieved
then she got out of her bed and started designing the necklace for Joanna.
At night, the maid from the Starry Lake Mansion called her, “Mrs. Conrad, Mr. Conrad said he found
your thing. If you still want them, come and get them. If not, Mr. Conrad will throw them away.
Stella wanted to say that she didn’t want the thing.
But she knew that as the wretched man had called him deliberately, he had to be thinking about
something.
If she didn’t go to collect the thing, he would suspect her even more.
In the Starry Lake Mansion…
The maid put down the phone, “Sir, madam said she’ll be right over.”
“Hmm,” Clarence said and then indifferently asked the maid to go and rest.
The maid nodded. She bowed slightly and left.
Clarence loosened his tie, picked up the paper bag on the sofa, and went up to the first floor.
Half an hour later, Stella pushed open the door of the Starry Lake Mansion. On the ground floor, the
lights were on but there was no one there.
Stella pursed her lips and could only go upstairs slowly.
She stood at the bedroom door and reached out to knock on the door, “Mr. Conrad, are you there?”
He didn’t reply to her.
Stella suppressed her anger and raised her voice a bit louder, “Mr. Conrad, are you there!”
After a few seconds, she heard a nonchalant male voice sounded from the room, “Come in.”
She pushed open the door and cautiously took a few steps inside.
Clarence came out of the bathroom. He was wearing a casual shirt and his hair was wet.
He glanced at Stella and walked straight to the sofa and sat down, lifting his chin, “Your thing.”
Stella quickly walked over and held the paper bag in her arms, “Thanks, Mr. Conrad. I will leave first if
there’s nothing else. Rest early, goodnight, Mr. Conrad.”
“Hold on.”
Stella froze in place.
Clarence gently raised his eyes, “Shouldn’t you explain to me what’s in this bag?”
Stella’s body stiffened, and she calmly told him the lie she had prepared a long time ago, “Isn’t Sherry
preparing for pregnancy? As the child’s future godmother, it’s normal for me to buy these… things.”
Her lie sounded reasonable until she herself believed it.
Clarence snorted, “Stella, do you really think I am a fool?”
Hearing his words, Stella’s heart throbbed for a moment.
She barely managed to keep smiling, “What I said is the truth. If Mr. Conrad does not believe me, I also
can’t help it.”
Clarence didn’t say anything.
Stella was very nervous, as she didn’t know how far he suspected, and she didn’t dare to open her
mouth rashly.
She could feel that Clarence looked like he wasn’t going to scold or curse her, but he looked depressed
and unhappy.
Not knowing how long did it take, Clarence slowly said, “Stella, do you want a child?”
She knew that Vivian was only his friend and she was not pregnant. If Stella insisted on divorcing him
or even to provoke him, she might lie about her pregnancy.
Clarence thought that Stella might have been testing him at that time.
She wanted a child but he couldn’t let her have one.
So, was it because of this that she quarreled with him and said she wanted to divorce him?
The corner of her mouth twitched and she tried to keep herself calm, “I don’t have such thoughts.”
He asked her faintly, “Is that so?”
But what he really meant was he knew that what she was thinking very clearly and she did not need to
argue anymore.
She paused before saying, “Even if I want a child, it has nothing to do with you. I don’t know what Mr.
Conrad is thinking now that you have to call me here and ask this. But I have to remind you that Mr.
Conrad is the person who said ‘I won’t let any woman get pregnant with my child, including you’.”
Clarence frowned, “Did I say that before?”
Stella was speechless.
The wretched man was really shameless!
Clarence added, “Even if I said that, it’s still true, and you should know very well that I don’t plan to
have any children.”
“Okay,” Stella said.
It’s none of her business.
Seeing that she sounded a little lost, Clarence pursed his thin lips and added, “At least not for these
two years, but it’s possible to consider it in the future.”
He would never let his child be born as someone’s puppet, growing up with all the things being
arranged by others.
Stella said peacefully, “Mr. Conrad can discuss this kind of private matter with your future partner. No
need to tell me.”
Clarence looked at her with displeasure, once again he felt that this woman did not know what’s good
for her.
He had already made his words so clear and even made concessions, but she still looked like she was
very stubborn.
It was true that Stella would ask for more after he conceded to her.
Stella didn’t quite understand the dangerous aura in his eyes, but he didn’t want to ask him. She just
smiled and said, “Then I won’t disturb Mr. Conrad, see you…”
Clarence coldly interrupted her, “Move all your things away.”
Stella didn’t understand his words.
What other things did she have here?”
“The ones in the wardrobe are your things. Move them away.”
“But those aren’t my … things.”
The clothes, bags, and shoes in the wardrobe were basically all sent directly from the shop. She
basically never wore them before.
