Stella stared at his wounded arm and took back the bags of food from him two seconds later, “Don’t
bother. Thanks.”
Clarence slightly pressed his thin lips and asked slowly, “Are you still angry at me?”
Stella said expressionlessly, “Do we have any relationship? Please don’t bother me.”
Clarence was lost for words.
Luckily, she talked to him.
Right at this moment, the doors of the lift were opened. Stella then walked out of the lift with the bags of
food.
She put down one bag of food at the door and then pressed the passwords of the door.
When the door was opened, she picked up the food and walked into the house.
But she didn’t close the door.
Clarence secretly licked his lips when he noticed this.
So, she kept the door for him, right?
Was there such an amazing thing?
After getting into the house, Stella put the bags of food on the table and then asked Channing, “What’s
his condition in the afternoon? Did he cry?”
Channing replied, “Nope. He’s not naughty.”
Stella curled her lips into a smile, walked towards the baby who was playing with toys and sat down,
“Go to have a rest. I bought some take-out food. If you’re hungry, you can heat them.”
Channing said, “I will wash some fruits.”
When he stood up, he saw a person pushing open the door and walking into the house.
Channing said, “Looks like there’re no fruits left. I will go downstairs to buy some fruits.”
After finishing the words, he quickly left the house.
Clarence closed the door, walked towards Stella and then sat onto the sofa casually.
When seeing Clarence, the baby giggled, his teeth exposed.
Clarence curled his lips into a smile and gestured the baby to come over with his finger.
The baby immediately put down his toy and crawled towards him.
Stella was rendered speechless when seeing this.
Didn’t they dislike each other before?
It seemed like they’d fostered a good relationship during this period.
Stella took a deep breath, stood up and walked towards the kitchen to boil some water to dissolve the
baby’s milk powder.
When she felt the temperature of the water was befitting, Stella put some milk powder into the nursing
bottle and then shook the bottle. When she turned around and prepared to go back to the living room, a
person approached him.
Clarence supported himself with his hands on the edge of the table and confined Stella in his arms,
“Are you still angry at me?”
Stella looked up at him and her gaze met with his eyes in the air, “I’m so angry at you.”
Clarence was lost for words.
He chuckled and leaned forward to close their distance. His nose was so close to hers. “I know I’ve
done something wrong. Don’t be angry at me, okay? Please forgive me.”
Stella was not moved. She said blandly, “I’ve given you many chances, but it seemed like you didn’t
care about what’s in my mind at all. Do you know that when I recall it? I was like a fool and you fooled
me around. I even doubted I was sick during that period and even wanted to see a doctor. However,
even under that situation, you still hid it a secret from me. Clarence, tell me, how can I forgive me? For
what? Should I forgive you for fooling me around?”
Clarence retorted, “But I allowed you to see a doctor at that time.”
“Yep. After seeing the doctor, I became more conspicuous of my mental state. I thought I was crazy.”
Clarence tugged her hair, “Eve if you’re a psycho, you’re the most beautiful psycho.”
Stella looked at him expressionlessly, feeling disgusted by his sweet talk.
Clarence said in a low voice, “Originally, I planned to tell you everything after rescuing him from the
Conrad family. But I didn’t expect there would be an accident. I didn’t mean to keep it a secret from you
for such a long time. It’s just that I didn’t know how to tell you about this. I was afraid that you would be
angry at me like you’re now if you learned about the truth.”
His voice was so low and bore some depression.
Stella sneered, “Oh, it aggrieved you.”
Clarence replied, “It’s what I should do. I’m a man, so it’s a piece of cake for me to take this
responsibility.”
Stella didn’t want to talk with him and tried to push him away, “Get away.”
But Clarence didn’t move at all. He fixed his black eyes on her, “Honey, can you please give me a
chance, huh?”
“So you don’t want to let go of me?”
Stella stepped on his feet. Before he could react, she stooped and slipped out of his arms.
She sat down beside the baby and poured some milk on the back of her hand to feel the temperature.
It was appropriate.
Stella picked the baby from the ground and fed him the milk.
Sitting in her arms, the baby held the nursing bottle with both hands and finished the bottle of milk
soon. He looked up at Stella and waved the bottle happily, “Mummy.”
Stella curled her lips into a bright smile and put him on the carpet on which many toys scattered, “Go
play them.”
Clarence walked over, kneeled on one knee and tickled his chin with his finger, “Call me Daddy.”
The baby took a glance at him, not giving him any reaction. He just kept babbling, “Mummy.”
Clarence’s temples throbbed. When did the baby learn to call “mummy”? Why did he only call
“mummy”?
Seeing that the baby was focused on the toys and showed no intention to play with him, Clarence
snatched his toy and repeated his words patiently, “Call me Daddy.”
Seeing that his favorite toy was snatched, the baby pouted, turned around, hugged Stella’s leg and
forced two drops of tears, “Mummy.”
Stella looked towards Clarence, “Don’t you think yourself annoying? Why did you make him cry?”
“He refused to call me daddy?”
“Isn’t it a normal thing?”
Clarence knitted his brows unhappily, “Is it normal?”
Stella carried the aggrieved baby into her arms, “Babies can distinguish what’s good and what’s bad.
He refused to call you daddy, and it can only indicate that you’re not a good person in his heart.”
“Didn’t you see that he was so happy when I just entered the house?”
“Out of politeness.”
Clarence was rendered speechless.
She learned to use his excuse so quickly.
Stella selected a new toy for the baby and the baby immediately forgot the thing happened just now
and smiled happily.
Clarence looked towards her and said in a low voice, “I also want to hug him.”
Stella was rendered speechless.
Why did she feel like he was playing cute?
To prevent being disgusted again, Stella prepared to give the baby to him. But just as she moved, she
was pulled into his arms. At the next moment, she smelled the familiar smell.
Before Stella could say something, Clarence’s voice sounded, “You’ve promised me that you’ll stay by
my side and accompany me when I’m hospitalized. But when I woke up, I didn’t see you.”
Stella said after a while of silence, “Can you please not talk to me in such a tone of voice?”
She almost had goosebumps.
“Can’t you see that I’m trying to coax you?”
“I think you want to disgust me.”
Clarence snorted lightly, “You have no conscience.”
Stella retorted, “I’ve fed it to a dog.”
Maybe the baby felt uncomfortable in their confinement, he mumbled, trying to get out of their arms.
Stella pushed Clarence away and moved aside with the baby in her arms, trying to distance herself
from Clarence.
Clarence took off his suit jacket and walked towards the kitchen while rolling up his sleeves.
Stella asked, “What do you want to do?”
Clarence said, “I will cook a meal for you.”
“Don’t touch my…”
Bang!
A plate broke into pieces.
Stella had been accustomed to it and she could keep her composure when Clarence broke a plate
now.
