After that, Elaine met him several times in other places, but she never said a word to him.
Just like before they got engaged.
Elaine had only seen him a few times since she was a child.
But she vaguely remembered that her family didn't think very well of him. They said that he was cold-
blooded, ruthless, and terrible.
Rumors about him were everywhere.
Some adults even used the name Darnell to scare those disobedient children.
Elaine had grown up with those rumors, so she would run as far as she could when she had to meet
him at every family gathering.
Maybe Darnell did not know about her at that time.
But things were clearly different now. Elaine didn't want to be strangers with him again as before since
she had seen the gentleness he had never shown in front of outsiders before.
This would make her very uncomfortable.
Therefore, she gathered up her courage and tried to break the ice between them.
However, to Darnell, these thoughts were insignificant.
In the face of her approach, his attitude was no different from the past but normal as before. He
responded to her shyly and immature greeting, and talked to her with mature and peaceful words.
Putting aside the engagement that neither side was willing to part with, Elaine felt that he had always
treated her like an elder taking care of a junior as much as he could.
Other than that, he seemed to be no other feelings of her.
In his eyes, she was just a little girl.
His niece who should called him uncle.
Of course, this was the conclusion that Elaine had come to when she saw him attending a banquet with
a sexy and beautiful girl holding his arm.
She couldn't remember when she had sent messages to Darnell.
At first, he would reply to her as usual, but later, he gradually realized her feeling to him was a little out
of line, so he replied fewer and fewer.
It had been almost a week since she sent him messages.
Sherry and Stella were silent for a long time after hearing this.
These stories were indeed full of bizarre twists and turns.
Sherry said, "Do you have the feeling that you must get what you want in any case? For example, in
the shopping mall, you didn't want to buy a dress at first, but when you saw many people want it, you
felt that it was not bad, but the dress had been bought by someone. And then you couldn't sleep all
night and couldn't forget the dress anymore?"
Elaine thought for a moment and said, "No, every time I go to the mall. I'll buy all the new series. If I
don't like them, I'll give them to my friends. They won't be bought by others."
Sherry was speechless.
Well. Wealthy. They lived in a different world.
Stella continued, "Why you want to be with him? Because you love him so much or just because his
cold attitude stimulated your desire to conquer him?"
Elaine was confused. "What is the desire to conquer?"
Sherry explained simply and roughly, "It means that you are not reconciled to be ignored by him and
want to revenge. Hence, you will make him yours first, when he falls in love with you, you will say
goodbye to him and leave him in sadness alone."
Elaine thought seriously, "Will I be able to see him every day when I make him mine, besides..."
Sherry said more straightforwardly, "Besides, you can strip off his clothes and do what you want to do."
Elaine probably thought about that scene, and her blushed immediately.
"No, it's not very good..."
"Don't worry about it. Just say whether you want it or not."
Elaine lowered her head and nodded slightly.
Stella finally couldn't help saying, "No, this is a little beyond the standard..."
Sherry said, "What's wrong? Elaine is already 20 years old. She's an adult now."
Stella drank water silently.
Sherry became more and more excited and said to Elaine, "Let me tell you something. You're too
simple and inexperienced. You send him messages in a wrong way. Don't keep sending messages
every moment and pay all your attention on whether he replies. You should send messages to him from
time to time, no matter whether he replies or not, don't bother about it, do your own things. Sometimes
you can post a selfie or something on your Moments, as long as he gives you a like, you can contact
him immediately."
Elaine nodded half-heartedly and added, "But he never praised my Moments..."
"That's because you didn't touch him. Let me tell you, you should..."
Beside them, Stella couldn't bear to dispel their enthusiasm.
People like Darnell were not ordinary men. For him, this was completely useless.
She took out her mobile phone and looked at Clarence's number. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, she let out a sigh of relief and got up to leave the office.
She stood outside the office and dialed Dolores Anderson's number.
Soon, the phone was connected.
Dolores's voice came, "Chan."
Stella replied, "Mom, it's me. Have you... been well recently?"
Dolores said, "We are very good. Noah is also very good. He is in good health and has no cold at all."
When Dolores was talking, Noah was next to her and made a sound. Sounded very cute.
Dolores turned on the loudspeaker. "Baby, Mom's calling. Come and talk to her."
Soon, there was a rustling sound came, and then a childish voice came from the receiver, "Mom..."
He said the words clearer than before.
Stella couldn't help but smile when she heard that. "Baby, did you listen to Grandma?"
Dolores said from the side, "You say 'yes'. You are a good boy."
Noah said again, "Yes, mom."
After Noah talked to Stella for a while with his mobile phone, his attention was attracted by something
else. He put down his mobile phone and ran away.
Dolores took the phone and said, "Stella, he went to play. Why did you call this time?"
Stella said, "It's okay. I'm fine. It has cooled down recently. Take care of yourself. Don't catch a cold."
"Don't worry, we're all right."
After a few words with Dolores, Stella hung up the phone, put away the phone, and took a deep breath.
It seemed that she was really over-thinking.
When Stella returned to her office, Sherry was still teaching Elaine.
Elaine even opened the phone's notice, carefully writing it down and studying hard.
Seeing this, Stella smiled and said to Elaine, "Sherry always wants to be a player, but she can't find an
opportunity to practice. You just fell into her hands."
Sherry coughed and said, "I... I have not such good conditions. But I will accumulate more skills now
and wait for my opportunity."
At this time, Daniel's voice came from the door. "What is it?"
