On the other side…
After cleaning the house and tidied up her things, Stella put the baby, who was waving his hands in a
crib, onto the baby’s carpet.
Maybe it was because the baby had been lying on the bed for a long time, he began to crawl around
the moment he was put on the group and shoved the toys that blocked his way.
Stella, who sat on the near sofa, curled her lips into a light smile when she saw the scene.
Channing came back after throwing away the rubbish and asked, “It’s time for dinner. Would you like to
go to a restaurant?”
Stella withdrew her gaze and said, “Help me take care of him. I will cook the dinner.”
“Let me do it.” Channing added, “I will go out to buy some food materials and fruits.”
“Wait,” Stella stopped him, “When are you going to come back to school?”
Channing replied, “Today is Saturday.”
Stella was rendered speechless.
Never mind…
Short after Channing’s leaving, there came a doorbell from the door. Stella opened the door and saw
Sherry winking at her with her body leaning against the door frame, “Stella, can I have dinner here?”
Stella said with a smile, “Come in. Channing went out to buy food materials just now.”
Sherry’s eyes lit up when she heard the words, “I can taste delicious dishes today.”
The moment Sherry walked into the house, Daniel showed up at the door with a pot of simmered soup.
Daniel put the soup on the table and said, “Ms. Radomil, I’ve finished the tasks you asked me to do.”
Stella paused and then thanked him, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. The public’s attitude towards that matter had indeed changed after the Conrad
Group’s news conference, but a small part of people still doubt it. But they don’t have any doubts after I
released all the evidence you gave me.”
Sherry, who was eating fish and chips on the sofa, chimed in, “I didn’t expect that Clarence would be so
merciful on this matter. He’s tough in doing things in usual times.”
Stella said in a calm voice, “Because he doesn’t want to embarrass Justin.”
If this happened in the past, she would probably choose not to put Clarence in such a dilemma for the
sake of Justin.
But ever since she learned it was Joanna who instructed the babysitter to smother the baby in front of
everyone, she became cold-hearted. It was none of her business no matter what mental burden they
would suffer.
It was just that she would seek revenge on those people who tried to hurt her baby.
Daniel poured a glass of water for Sherry, “It seems Joanna has planned for this in advance. I think she
probably had expected she would die.”
Sherry said, “Yuck, she still creates troubles even if she has died. She’s just like that bastard Jeffrey.
Wait… Did she really die?”
Stella shook her head, “Many people witnessed her death.”
Sherry patted her chest, “That’s good. I’m afraid of that after Jeffrey’s fake death.”
After a short while, Stella looked towards Daniel, “When did you know it?”
Daniel chuckled awkwardly, “I learned about it not long ago. I suspected it before, but I didn’t have any
evidence.”
Stella asked, “Did you learn about it when you left the private room with Channing?”
Daniel didn’t deny it and gently nodded his head.
Channing proposed a transaction with him at that time.
Sherry asked, “By the way, Stella, you and Mr. Conrad…”
Daniel’s cough interrupted her before she could finish the question.
Sherry dissolved milk powder for the baby while saying, “Let’s talk about it later.”
Sherry thought to herself, ‘How can this be delayed? What if they break up later? I’m not clear about
what’s in Clarence’s mind. Why didn’t he come here over the past several days? Maybe it’s because he
knows he can’t remedy for it no matter how hard he tries.’
Channing came back after a short while.
Stella entered the kitchen, “Let me deal with it. Wash some fruits for them.”
Channing replied, “Okay.”
Sherry shouted in the living room, “Stella, Winnie told me that she’s filming a movie in the vicinity. Shall
we invite her to have dinner together?”
Stella stole a glance at Channing and replied with a smile, “Invite her.”
Channing was still washing the fruits and didn’t say anything.
Seeing this, Stella asked, “What’s your condition?”
“What are you asking about?”
“Study? Work? Relationship?”
Channing was rendered speechless.
He then responded, “I don’t have too many matters to deal with recently and I almost stayed at school
every day. I will probably take part in a TV program this summer holiday.”
Stella asked, “Is it a talent show?”
She then added, “I heard from Winnie that your company has been planning to launch a talent show,
and its main purpose is to help you accumulate fans.”
Channing replied, “It’s not the same.”
“Why?”
“I don’t like it, so I refused it before.”
Stella pondered it for a while and thought it reasonable. According to Channing’s personality, it was
true that he didn’t like to dance on the stage.
Stella asked, “What program is it?”
Channing replied after being silent for several seconds, “A program about escape room.”
Stella was confused.
She asked, “What’s the main content?”
“Solve puzzles.”
Stella was rendered speechless.
It was really his style of doing things.
Winnie got off work late, but the dinner was just ready when she arrived at Stella’s house.
Winnie thought it was Sherry’s house and looked around. Seeing that everyone was here, she asked
casually, “Where’s Mr. Conrad?”
Sherry cleared her throat, “Er…”
“By the way,” Winnie looked towards Stella, “I saw a report today and it said that Mr. Conrad was
injured and hospitalized. Is it true?”
Stella replied, “It’s fake.”
Winnie heaved a sigh of relief, “I thought so before. How would that wicked capitalist get seriously
wounded? Usually, many people would block attacks for him.”
Stella seemed to think of something and paused.
Sherry had been tugging Winnie’s sleeve.
Winnie was bewildered, “What’s the matter?”
“Hahaha… Nothing,” Sherry laughed awkwardly and said, “Would you like an orange? Channing
bought this in the afternoon and it is quiet flesh.”
Winnie declined, “No thanks. I ate many oranges when filming the movie this afternoon.”
Winnie suddenly spotted the baby who was playing with a toy joyfully and immediately widened her
eyes. She subconsciously looked towards Sherry’s belly, “Impossible, right?”
Reading through her mind, Sherry patted her shoulder. When Stella walked into the kitchen to take out
the dishes, she said in a low, quick voice, “It’s Stella and Mr. Conrad’s child. By the way, they have a
conflict now, so don’t mention Mr. Conrad in front of her.”
Winnie immediately shut up.
Oh gosh, she had said something she was not supposed to mention just now.
At this time, Channing put a box of yogurt in front of her.
Sherry stole a glance of them whens she spotted this and asked, “Why don’t you give me one too?”
Channing replied without any expressional change, “Yogurt will help improve appetite. But I think you
don’t need it as you have a good appetite.”
Sherry was lost for words.
Winnie was also stunned. She had many oranges this afternoon and oranges would usually help
improving digestion and appetite.
However, when she prepared to say something, she found Channing had walked away.
Winnie took a glance at the yogurt in front of her. It was peach yogurt and she liked it the most.
Winnie inserted the straw and began to taste it. But when she turned her head, her eyes met with
Sherry’s gossiping eyes.
Several seconds later, Sherry suddenly leaned forward, “You’ve taken actions, right?”
