Stella's original mobile phone was also in it, and there was a SIM card.
Stella said, "Thank you."
Looking at her back, Sherry was not at ease.
Archer got up and said, "Leave her alone for a while. She probably needs some quietness now."
Sherry turned his head. "Who are you?"
Elaine immediately introduced to her, "He's my cousin, Archer, a doctor."
Sherry suddenly realized, "It's you. I haven't thanked you yet. What do you want to eat? It's my treat!"
...
Back next door, Stella slowly sat on the sofa, put her phone on the tea table, closed her eyes and took
a deep breath.
She could only keep reminding herself that anxiety would not help solve anything. Clarence was trying
to find a way, and her father also was on his way back.
Now all she could do was to control her emotions and protect the child in her belly.
But no matter how hard she tried to control it, tears still trickled down her face.
At this time, someone opened the door.
Stella turned quickly and wiped the tears on her face.
But soon, she realized that wasn't Sherry.
The footsteps sounded different.
Stella turned her head, her eyes still red, "You're back."
Clarence sat next to her and gently hugged her, "Well, I'm back."
Stella grabbed his clothes, breathed a few times to hold back her tears, "What's going on?"
"Chassell was released on bail. He went to Channing and deliberately provoked him."
"But... Isn't he convicted? Why can he be released on bail?"
"There will be an answer soon."
Stella asked in a quiet voice, "Is Justin involved?"
Clarence didn't speak but just hugged her, "I wanted to take you to Riverside City..."
"I'm not going. I want to be with you."
Clarence smiled, "I knew you would say that. You're not going. Just stay with me."
And he was afraid of any accidents on the road.
In Riverside City, people associated with Justin have not been completely eradicated.
With her by his side, he can feel at ease.
Stella leaned in his arms and said, "You didn't come back last night, so you were busy with that?"
"Not entirely."
Stella suddenly remembered the news she saw just now on Twitter, which was related to Conrad
Group.
"What will you do next?" she asked.
"I don't know. Just want to sleep."
Stella pushed him, "Go back to your room and sleep. It's uncomfortable to sleep here."
Clarence was still holding her. "No, I'll just take a nap."
His voice sounded weary, so Stella didn't speak again.
After a while, Clarence's breathing became calm and even.
The two leaned back on the sofa until the sun slowly rose high up in the sky.
Stella slept very well last night, so she was very awake now. In addition, she had something in her mind
and got caught up with her own thoughts.
But in the end, her state of mind cooled down.
She didn't know how long it had been when Clarence's phone rang.
Stella snapped out of it and quickly fumbled for his phone. Seeing that it was Nathan calling, she
answered the phone and whispered, "He's sleeping. I'll ask him to call you later."
Nathan said OK.
Stella hung up. When she turned her head, she saw that Clarence was awake and he was looking at
her.
Stella put the phone down and said, "Why don't you get some more sleep?"
Clarence tilted his head and planted a kiss on her forehead, "That's OK, I'll take a shower."
"I'll make you something to eat."
"OK."
After Clarence went into the bathroom, Stella walked the kitchen and made a simple breakfast.
While waiting for the water to boil, Stella went to the living room, took out the new mobile phone Sherry
bought for her, and put her original SIM card into it.
After a simple setting, she put her mobile phone on the tea table and waited for the data
synchronization on the mobile phone.
In the kitchen, the water was just boiling.
At dinner, Clarence said, "Your father is back."
Stella nodded, "Sherry has told me."
"What else did she tell you?"
"She said Chassell is in the ICU now, Winnie and Daniel are there, and Chan can be released on bail in
two days."
Clarence said, "As long as Chassell doesn't die, he'll be fine."
Stella's eyes drooped and lips pursed for a moment before she said, "He will stay alive. The bad people
often live longer, huh? Jeffrey was able to survive in prison at that time. They are almost the same."
Clarence said, "You are right."
"Well, eat quickly. The food is getting cold. I have to go to the studio later."
After dinner, Clarence took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Stella was surprised that she didn't hear the sound of plates smashing on the floor.
It seemed that he had learned his lesson after breaking many plates.
She went to the bedroom and changed her clothes. On her, she said, "Archer and Elaine are here.
What to do with them? Let them live next door?"
Clarence just came over, stopped her at the bedroom door and wrapped his arm around her waist, "I
want to discuss something with you."
"What?"
"You go to the Stewards' Mansion with them."
Stella was stunned, "Where?"
...
After Lyndon Steward set fire to the Stewards' Mansion and fled, the ruins seemed to have been
forgotten and ignored.
When everyone didn't notice, the Stewards' Mansion was rebuilt again.
The Stewards' Mansion had been rebuilt twice. The first time was more than 20 years ago, Lyndon tried
to erase the trace of Charles Steward's family who once lived there.
In this reconstruction, Clarence restored the Stewards' Mansion as it was 20 years ago.
Standing in front of the garden and looking at this place, Stella's face was full of astonishment and
surprise, "When did you..."
Clarence replied, "I was afraid your father wouldn't agree with me marrying you. This was supposed to
be a betrothal gift."
"But how did you manage to rebuild it completely the same as it were?"
Before, Cameron Thomas took her here and told her what this place used to be like in details.
But She didn't expect that what once existed only in words would one day appear in front of her as
something tangible.
Clarence led her inside, "I found the architects of the original mansion. But some of the things were
added by your father later, so I found the people who had been to the mansion more than 20 years ago
and the servants. I pieced their descriptions together and voilà, the building should look exactly like the
Stewards' Mansion."
Stella didn't expect that Clarence, whose schedule was crammed, would still have time to do it.
And she didn't have a faintest clue about this at all.
In the house, Clarence continued, "Although the appearance has been restored to a certain extent, the
interior is still designed according to the current practicability and comfort. It will be more comfortable to
live. But your room and your parents' room are kept exactly as it was."
