Clarence hummed, “Yes, I know.”
Stella huffed a few times and said again, “That’s why we should do whatever we can, okay?”
Clarence hugged her and didn’t say anything.
After a long while, he said, “Okay.”
Clarence knew that even if he didn’t agree, Stella wouldn’t give up because of him.
For this, she even drop the opportunity to go to the fashion week.
She would only silently continue to take medicine and injections in places where he couldn’t see.
If that was the case, it was better for him to shoulder the pressure together with her.
Archer said that Stella’s bad mood and poor appetite were the after-effects of the medication and
injections.
She could only overcome it by herself. There was no other way.
At a later stage, the emotional ups and downs would only get more and more serious.
Therefore, what she needed was not someone to advise her on what she should do, but someone who
could be by her side and help her relieve the sufferings.
If there hadn’t been so much going on lately, he wouldn’t have been so negligent about her change to
this point.
She was the one sleeping beside him every night. But in the end, Archer was the one who remind him
about this.
Seeing that she had successfully persuaded him, Stella let out a breath of relief.
She looked up at him. Her eyes were still red from the cry just now, looking a little foggy, brimming with
moisture.
Clarence’s eyebrows frowned a little.
In this world, no one else knew more about his physical changes than Stella.
She grabbed his tie, pulling him forward a little.
Clarence met her eyes. His voice was a little hoarse, “What are you doing?”
Stella said, “Still pretending?”
Clarence’s black eyes were full of smiles. He didn’t say anything else and directly lowered his head to
kiss her. He effortlessly picked her up and went back to the bedroom.
Stella removed his tie and threw it on the floor.
The next second, she was pressed onto the bed.
Clarence raised his eyes and his gaze fell on her arm.
There were a few more red dots than before.
At that time, Stella lied to him that those were mosquito bites.
Thinking about this, he lightly bit her on the neck.
Stella let out a muffled sound. But she didn’t want to spoil the mood, so she stopped herself from
cursing out.
But she wouldn’t let this go that easily.
She removed his shirt and unbuckled belt, moving her hands along his muscular waist, down from his
abdomen.
Clarence’s body suddenly tensed up.
For countless nights before, this was a thing that he had to coax and cheat Stella to do.
This was the first time she took such an initiative.
Without waiting for Clarence to say anything, Stella moved her fingers slowly at her own pace.
Her fingers were soft, and her actions were tender.
Clarence uncontrollably swallowed his saliva. Beads of sweat rolled from his forehead, dripping onto
her shoulder.
He pressed his thin lips against her ears, speaking with a low and hoarse voice, “Babe, faster.”
But Stella said, “No.”
Instead, she deliberately slowed down her movements as if she was getting back at him for what he
had done today.
Clarence was out of words.
He finally couldn’t take it anymore. He got up and bit her lips, increasing his force, lighting fires all over
her body with his palm.
In an instant, he took the lead away from her.
Before she could react, Stella’s hand was clasped by him.
She had personally pushed the situation to an uncontrollable point.
In the past, whenever Stella could not take it anymore, she would call out “hubby” to him so that he
could be gentler. However today, it was of no use even if she hugged Clarence’s neck and called out all
night long.
She instantly regretted seducing him just now.
When everything was over, it was already late.
She had just closed her eyes and suddenly felt some itching on her arm. Clarence’s thin lips were a bit
warm, but his actions were very gentle.
Clarence was kissing at that spot.
Her sleepiness was raging, and Stella didn’t have the strength to talk anymore.
Before she fell asleep, only one thought flashed through her mind. No matter what the reason was, her
choice always seemed to be worth it.
After she fell into a deep sleep, Clarence took her into his arms and stared out the window.
The night sky was quiet and cold.
After a long while, he finally made a decision.
…
The next day at noon, Stella arrived at the studio with a heavy pace and a sleepy face.
Seeing her like that, Sherry immediately came up to her, “Stella, you...”
Halfway through, her words came to a screeching halt.
Even though Stella looked a little exhausted, her face looked quite rosy.
Although the bite marks on her neck were very faint, they looked extraordinarily ambiguous.
At a glance, she immediately understood what happened last night.
Stella met with her gaze, “What’s up?”
Sherry laughed a few times, “No, nothing. I was going to ask if you had fought with Mr. Conrad last
night. But from the looks of it, it seems like that the two of you... fought vigorously.”
Stella was speechless.
Sherry said again, “By the way, last night I met Mr. Conrad in the elevator. It seems that he doesn’t
know you’re taking the medicine. Didn’t you tell him?”
Stella slumped on the table and said weakly, “I didn’t tell him about the cord blood before because he
wouldn’t agree if he knew. So, I didn’t tell him about me taking the medicine in fear that he might get
suspicious.”
Hearing that, Sherry’s eyes abruptly widened up, “Then does that mean that I’ve inadvertently spilled
the beans?”
“It’s okay,” Stella said, “Even if you didn’t say it, I couldn’t hide it for long. It’s good that he knows now,
so I won’t have to hide every day for fear of being discovered by him.”
Hearing what Stella said, Sherry couldn’t help but frown, “Stella, does this medicine have any effect on
your body?”
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have hidden it from Clarence.
Hearing her worry, Stella sat up straight and laughed, “No, the medicine is to nurse my health. How will
it affect me? The reason why I didn’t tell him is... you know, he’s sometimes quite annoying. Plus, a lot
of things are happening at the company now. Even if I had told him about this, he wouldn’t be able to
help me. I might as well keep it from him for some peace.”
Sherry felt that it was not that simple. However, since Stella wasn’t willing to say, she didn’t ask further.
At this moment, Stella’s phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID. It was Daniel calling.
Sherry also saw it. She immediately stood up, “I’m going out first.”
Stella nodded, “Okay.”
With the sound of the door closing, Stella answered the call.
Daniel said, “Ms. Radomil, we found Amanda. But... she’s dead.”
Stella lowered her head, “I already knew.”
After going through depression these few days, she also forgot about this matter.
Listening to Stella talking about entanglement between Justin and Amanda, the person on the other
side of the phone also went silent for a long time.
Daniel obviously didn’t expect the actual story would turn out to be so eye-popping.
Stella said, “Please pass this message to Emmett. I’m not going to him anymore.”
Daniel figured out what she meant.
What Stella wanted was for Emmett to apologize to Clarence.
