Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Under the moonlight in silence, Stella saw the man’s straight nose bridge, thin lips, and harsh outline of

his chin.

He looked up slightly as if he was looking at the sky. He didn’t notice her appearance.

In the conditional reflex, Stella turned around and wanted to run away. However, she saw Nathan

standing not far away from her, nodding.

She could only turn around and walked to Clarence. Finally, she stood in front of him, “Hi, Mr. Conrad.

Why are you here?”

Clarence didn’t change his gesture. His voice sounded peaceful and lonely in the darkness, “Shall I ask

Nathan to give you my schedule?”

Stella was speechless.

If he didn’t want to tell her, she didn’t care at all. He didn’t need to be so sarcastic, did he?

Stella wondered why he was doing here. After standing for a moment, she asked tentatively again, “Mr.

Conrad, when did you come here? Have you had dinner yet? If not, I can...”

“When he said ‘my parents are teachers in the county of my hometown’.”

Stella frowned, “You eavesdropped on our conversation, didn’t you?”

Clarence slowly turned around and looked at her expressionlessly, “I just happened to overhear it. If

you are afraid of being eavesdropped, why didn’t you close the door and have a private talk?”

Stella inhaled deeply. She tried to ignore him.

Clarence continued, “I didn’t expect you are so popular in men. Horace Jason just got engaged, some

other man fought hard to be the father of your baby. It happened so seamlessly.”

“I’m so flattered, Mr. Conrad. I don’t think I’m so comparable to your popularity in women.”

Clarence was choked up.

His gaze fell on Stella’s outfit, looking up and down. His handsome brows were creased slightly, “What

are you wearing?”

Stella tossed her hair back. She looked away, “It’s fashion. You don’t know it.”

Clarence snorted. He stood up, tidied up his sleeves, bypassed her, and left.

Stella stood motionlessly for a few seconds, and then she turned around, only to find that Clarence

bent over and sat in the black Maybach that was parked nearby.

After the car roared away for a long time, she was still confused.

She didn’t expect that he would just leave like this.

She wondered why he didn’t blame her after coming here deliberately. Was it because he was upset so

he came over to sicken her?

Stella was so puzzled.

When she arrived home, Dolores was watering the flowers in the yard. Upon hearing the sound of

opening the door, she didn’t raise her head and asked, “Have you made it clear to him?”

“Yeah.”

Dolores stood upright, “If not mistaken, I guess you should have rejected Alex. Since the problem is

resolved, why are you still so upset?”

Stella parted her lips. After hesitating for a while, she couldn’t help but answer, “I encountered my ex-

husband on my way back.”

“Did you fight?”

Stella suddenly shook her head, “He suddenly showed up and said something sarcastic and confusing.

Then he left. I even don’t know why he has come here.”

Dolores said indifferently, “He missed you.”

Stella was speechless.

She said, “Ms. Anderson, please don’t be kidding. I’m freaked out.”

“Well, tell me. You’ve divorced already. Why would he come here all the way from City N? Wasn’t it

because he wanted to meet you?”

Stella sat on the chair, looking up at the sky. She exhaled a long sigh, “I don’t know what’s in his mind.

He always seemed to do something confusing, but he could always find his excuses. But, he truly

hates me.”

Dolores continued watering the flowers, “Silly girl, if he truly hates you, why would he have married

you?”

“It was quite complicated at that time. I was pregnant, and his parents forced him to marry him. So he

always thought I’m a scheming woman who could do things through every possible means.”

“Have you explained to him?”

“Yes, I have, but... he didn’t believe me. He said I was resorting to sophistry.”

Dolores sighed in silence, “Since he didn’t trust you, it’s a good thing to divorce him.”

“Exactly.” Stella lay prone on the table, looking forward aimlessly, “But, I always feel that since I

divorced him, his attitude toward me has become so weird. I don’t know what he’s thinking.”

Dolores smiled, “So childish.”

Stella nodded to agree with her - that wretched man was indeed quite childish sometimes.

...

In the morning of the second day, Stella heard a group conversation in low voices outside her window.

All of them discussed with solemn looks as if they were talking about something quite important.

After getting up and tidying up herself, Stella also joined the conversation held by the group of mid-

aged women.

“What happened?”

Ms. Beckham, the lady living next door, whispered, “We heard that a developer would buy out our

community and build it to a hotel resort.”

Another woman said, “This news came so abruptly. We didn’t know it before. If our houses were to be

torn down, where should we move to?”

“Exactly. We’ve been staying here for decades. Our children were all out of town. Where can we move

to?”

“After the hotel resort is built, the surroundings will be changed a lot. I’m afraid it would be quite difficult

to find a place that was so suitable for our retirement lives.”

“Exactly. We have fresh air and beautiful surroundings here. Anyway, I’m not willing to leave here.”

Upon hearing their conversation, Stella suddenly realized something.

She seemed to know why Clarence came here.

Sure enough, he never planned to let her go.

Stella pressed her lips and turned away.

After she took a few steps, Dolores walked out of the house, “It’s still so early. Where are you heading

to?”

“I... I have something to deal with,” Stella said. Then she added, “Ms. Anderson, I might not be able to

return in a short time. Please don’t prepare lunch for me.”

Dolores nodded, “Walk slowly. Don’t rush.”

Upon hearing it, Stella calmed herself down and slowed down her paces.

She texted Nathan and asked where they were. Nathan seemed to be waiting for her message.

Immediately, he sent her a hotel location.

Stella gritted her teeth and hailed a cab on the roadside.

Arriving in the lobby of the hotel, she was about to walk in, only to find that Clarence was walking out

surrounded by a group of men.

Within the crowd, she also saw Alexander.

However, Alexander didn’t see her. When he arrived at the company, the management informed him

that there was a bigwig from City N in town. They would discuss developing a hotel resort. Hence, his

boss asked him and a few coworkers to come to meet this bigwig.

Since there were so many people, Stella didn’t walk to them. Instead, she took a few steps back and

hid in the corner. She texted Nathan again and asked him when their meeting could be over.

Nathan: “Probably in the evening, Ms. Radomil.”

Then he sent her Clarence’s hotel room number, “Mr. Conrad said if you want to talk to him, you can

wait for him in his room.”

Stella was speechless, wondering what the wretched man had taken her as.

She inhaled deeply and tabbed her phone screen violently, “No, thank you!”

After sending the message, Stella walked back in anger.

Getting off the taxi, she found there were seven or eight black cars were parking long the ever-quiet

riverbanks, in which she saw the black Maybach that Clarence was taking last night.
