Not far away, the man’s tall, strong, and upright figure appeared in her sight.

In her hands was a bunch of red roses.

Stella was a bit taken aback. She slowly put down the phone, but the smile on her face became deeper

and deeper.

Much to her surprise, the wretched man was quite romantic. He even took the flowers to pick her up.

Clarence walked to her. “Why didn’t you call me after the gather was over?”

Stella said, “How did I know you are waiting for me nearby?”

She originally planned to text him after arriving home.

Clarence asked, “Don’t you want to get in the car?”

Stella shook her head. “I ate a lot earlier. I want to walk home.”

Clarence suddenly bent over to approach her, sniffed. “Did you drink?”

Stella showed him a gesture. “Just a little bit. I’m not drunk yet.”

Upon hearing it, Clarence curled up his lips. “I can drink with you after arriving home.”

Stella looked at his expression. Her intuition told her that the wretched man had an evil intention. She

looked away and walked forward. “No, thanks. Moderate drinking is good for the health. Drinking too

much will only reduce my life.”

Clarence followed her. “Where did you get those unreasonable sayings?”

“Your sayings are far more unreasonable.”

Clarence said, “I don’t need to work tomorrow. We can date. Where do you want to go?”

Stella thought for a moment. She turned to look at him. “I have to work tomorrow, though. Sherry has

gone home for a visit. I must be in my studio.”

As she finished speaking, Clarence raised his eyebrows slightly. “Has she gone home?”

Stella was silent.

She realized that she had leaked an important message.

She wanted to skip the topic. Looking at the red roses in Clarence’s hands, she asked, “Don’t you plan

to give them to me?”

Clarence looked down at them. “Do you want them?”

Stella was confused and speechless.

Or what? Why would he be holding them if they were not for her?

Clarence said, “I accidentally picked them up on the street. If you want them, I can give them to you.”

Stella gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely. She turned around and left.

Clarence chuckled and followed her, “All right. I was kidding. I bought them for you.”

“I see.”

Stella didn’t believe him.

Clarence said, “They are a bit heavy. You want to walk home, don’t you? You’ll feel quite tired if walking

while holding them”

Stella didn’t agree with him. She didn’t want to show weakness and retorted, “Why would I feel tired?

Mr. Conrad, could you please don’t underestimate a woman?”

“Then, let’s continue tonight.”

“Of course we can continue. I...”

After she said those words, Stella understood what he implied. Instantly, she felt annoyed. “Continue

with yourself!”

She wondered why the wretched man couldn’t think about anything else.

When she was about to walk away in anger, her hand was gently grabbed. Clarence asked calmly, “Are

you angry?”

Stella believed that the wretched man asked while knowing the answer.

She wasn’t in the mood to talk to him.

Right then, a young couple passed them by.

They seemed to be in a fight as well. The woman complained, “Look at you! The man is so handsome

and he knows to bring his girlfriend flowers. It’s our first anniversary today, but you don’t only forget to

buy me flowers but also forget what day it is today!”

Her boyfriend was so panicked. “Well... Buying flowers has nothing to do with being handsome or not.

I’m sorry, darling. I’ve been too busy recently so I forgot. Tomorrow, all right? I will compensate you

tomorrow.”

“Our anniversary is today. Does it make any sense if you do that tomorrow?”

As she spoke, the woman trotted away while weeping.

The man stood motionlessly as if he wanted to find a flower store nearby. However, it was way too late

right now. Stores nearby were already closed, let alone a flower store.

Stella watched the scene for a moment. Suddenly, she reached her hand to Clarence. “Give them to

me.”

Clarence raised his brows. “Ehn?”

“Didn’t you say that they are for me? Please give them to me.”

Clarence understood what was in her mind, so he handed the roses to her.

Stella held them in her arms for a few seconds. Curling up her lips into a faint smile, she walked to the

man.

The man was startled when seeing her approach.

Stella handed the roses to him. “Take them. Please give them to your girlfriend.”

“Ah... How can I accept them? She’s quite mad now. I don’t think she needs them.”

Stella smiled. “It’s alright. Girls always want to have a sense of ceremony. Besides, today is an

important anniversary for you guys. She’s mad now because she cares about you and your love a lot.”

Upon hearing it, the man didn’t insist on refusing. While he took over the roses, he said, “Thank you,

Miss. I can wire you the money.”

“Not necessary. As long as you don’t disdain it because it was from my boyfriend to me.”

The man immediately answered, “Of course not. Your boyfriend and you love each other so much. I’m

quite envious. I hope we can also be so sweet as you buys.”

Stella truly wanted to stop him from wishing they would be the same. Eventually, she smiled and said,

“Hurry up and go!”

The man thanked her continuously. After nodding at Clarence, he chased after his girlfriend while

holding the roses.

After he was gone, Clarence walked to Stella. “You are not mad at me now, are you?”

Stella ignored him.

Clarence pulled her wrist. “Didn’t you just say that I’m your boyfriend? Why are you ignoring me now?”

Stella was speechless.

She was whispering to the man just now, but the wretched man still heard it.

Clarence suggested, “How about I get you another bouquet?”

Stella answered steadily, “No, thank you.”

“Why not?” After a pause, Clarence asked, “Wasn’t you angry because I didn’t give you the roses

earlier?”

Stella felt that her temples were popping. She realized that the wretched man didn’t quite understand

her at all.

Seeing that she was silent, Clarence asked again, “Since you want the flowers so much, why did you

give them away?”

After a long while, Stella answered, “I just believe that he needs them more than I do. Besides, I didn’t

want them so eagerly!”

“Oh, really?”

Stella looked at him whiling blaming him inwardly. “Forget it, you won’t understand it anyway. You’ll

never know how sad a woman would be when she hasn’t received any gift on the anniversary.”

Clarence pressed his thin lips. Suddenly, he pulled her hand and started to walk back.

“Wait! Wait! What are you doing?”

“Buy some gifts.”

“I was kidding. Haven’t you compensated me, anyway?”

Clarence said, “If the compensation worked, why would you complain about it again?”

Stella was silent.

The wretched man could always hit the nail on the head.

She was just saying it. Besides, when in a quarrel, women always like to bring up old scores again.

After such a trifle, it was almost midnight when they finally got home.

Clarence wasn’t being polite. He directly took off his coat and went to the bathroom for a shower.

Stella wanted to hang his suit jacket, but she smelt something on it.

She approached closer, only to smell that besides the scent of milk, there was a weird smell on the suit

jacket as well.
