Channing let go of Clarence. He was frowning and wanted to say something when he felt his finger

held by something tender.

Channing stunned for a second before he looked down. He saw a child, probably a few months old,

staring at him with his eyes widened. The child was laughing and babbling.

Channing lowered his voice unintentionally, “This is…”

Clarence sat on the couch and said, “My son, Noah.”

Channing became angry again. He glared at Amanda, who didn’t know what was going on. Amanda

was startled by Channing, then she realized Channing got it wrong, so she quickly explained, “It’s not

what you think. I’m only here to take care of Noah.”

Channing felt relieved. He looked at Clarence and asked, “What’s going on?”

“I’ll tell you everything if you promised not to tell Stella what you see today.”

“Why are you afraid of her knowing what I see if you did nothing wrong?”

Clarence looked into Channing’s eyes, “I don’t want things to get complicated.”

Dolores now knew the person who broke in just now wasn’t a bad guy. She told Amanda, “Amanda,

that’s it for today. You can leave now.”

Amanda nodded. She left the groceries at the dining table and left the place.

After the door closed, Dolores carried Noah from the couch, “It’s time for him to have his milk. I’ll leave

the room for you guys.”

When Dolores carried Noah into the room, he was looking over Dolores’ shoulder at Channing. His

hands were waving in the air as if he was talking.

Looking at the nose and eyes of Noah, an idea came into Channing’s mind.

When Amanda told him that she was here to take care of Noah, this idea already lingered in

Channing’s mind, but it was a wild and unbelievable thought, so Channing threw the idea out of his

head.

Channing looked surprised when he realized what he thought was true, “He is…”

Clarence raised his brows, “Yes.”

“My sister didn’t know?”

“She only knew about the existence of the child. She didn’t know anything else.”

Channing asked, “Why did you hide the truth from her?”

Clarence replied, “I’ve told you. I didn’t want to make things more complicated than it is.”

Channing raised his voice subconsciously, “But that’s her child! You knew how sad she was for the

baby, but you… Don’t you think you’re going too far?”

Clarence’s expression changed, “Noah was a premature baby, and he has been going through back-to-

back surgeries since he was born. How would you tell her if it was for you? Adding more pain on her

when she’s already in misery?”

Channing was stunned. He didn’t know what to say. He paused for a while before he continued, “But he

looked fine to me. Why did you still…”

“Did you tell her everything before you went looking for Jeffrey?”

Channing didn’t reply to Clarence’s question. Now he knew why Clarence did what he did.

The room was silent.

After a while, Clarence stood up, “Keep your promise, or else you won’t hear Noah calling you his

uncle.”

Channing kept quiet.

Channing saw Clarence was about to walk out of the room. He turned around and looked at the room,

“You’re leaving now?”

Clarence asked, “Would you prefer to stay?”

Channing turned around and left with Clarence.

On their way back home, Channing asked, “You said he had multiple surgeries after he was born. How

is he now then?”

“He’s weak. Constantly feeling unwell. The doctors are visiting regularly for body checks.”

“When he’s going to recover?”

“Probably when he’s older and have stronger immunity.”

Channing frowned and remained silent after hearing about Noah’s condition.

...

On the other hand, a bunch of people started to leave the place after their karaoke session.

Sherry had some drinks, and she couldn’t drive, so Stella was sending her home.

When they headed to Sherry’s place, Sherry asked Stella, “Stella, what’s your plan after?”

“Me?” Stella considered for a while before she replied, “I’m making the studio my priority.”

Stella had been busy since the beginning of the year. Then there was the competition. Troubles kept

occurring. Stella never really have the time to take care of the studio.

Sherry nodded, “I thought so. You see, our studio has made a name for itself in the country after a few

months of effort, and we haven’t done any publicity yet. After this, we will do some publicity stunts and

get some influencers or celebrities to help to promote our brand. We’ll become a big brand in the

future.”

Stella nodded, “Yes, we will.”

“That’s why I told you. It doesn’t matter if you have the championship or not. It’s nothing bad about

being in the second place. You’re always a champion to me. You’re a legend!”

Stella chuckled, “Are you consoling me?”

Sherry blinked her eyes, “Oops.”

“I’m fine. I knew this is coming. It’s already a precious opportunity for me to even participate in a big

competition like this. Plus, I’ve got a prize from the competition.”

Sherry agreed so much with what Stella said. She nodded, “Yes, you’re right! It was what I thought too.

Take the opportunity to see it as an experience.”

It wasn’t a long journey from the karaoke place to Sherry’s apartment. It was only about a ten-minute

drive.

Sherry opened the car door, “Stella, I’ll go home now. You drive safe and text me when you arrived

home.”

Stella stopped Sherry, “Sherry.”

Stella sounded serious, so she got back into the car nervously, “Why, what happened?”

Stella told Sherry what Louis told her in the hotel earlier.

Sherry replied after a while, “Wait, I think I’ve drunk too much. Let me organize my thought. Oh, Louis.

You’re saying Louis wanted to give our brand a special slot in the international fashion week?”

“Yes,” Stella said.

Sherry slapped her thigh. She was sober after hearing this news, “This is great! So great! Did you say

yes?”

“No, I’m still considering if I should accept the offer.”

“What’s there to consider anymore? You see, I’ve told you. It doesn’t matter what prize you won in that

competition. You see, The Lord has great taste!”

Stella came clean about her worries, “The studio is taking designing orders now. If it’s a special slot for

our brand, it will need a lot of jewelleries in different designs. I’m afraid that I couldn’t take care of so

many things at the same time.”

Sherry became calm, “It’s true. There’ll be too much on your plate.”

After a while, Sherry came out with an idea, “Or maybe we can stop taking customization orders. We’ll

only design jewelleries for our brand. Then you’ll have more time to prepare for the fashion week.”

“Stop taking customization orders?”

“Yes. Do you think it’s doable? If it is, we are doing it.”
