Stella's mood gradually eased. Clarence wrapped her waist and asked in a low voice, “Are you
hungry?”
Her eyes were red and she answered with a soft tone, “Yeah, kind of...”
It may be because the child in her stomach is growing up. She has been hungry faster than usual these
two days, and she has to eat more.
Clarence let go of her and said, “I'm going to find Alisa.”
Stella pulled him, “It's ok. It's been cooling down lately and | saw she was not very well in the morning.
It seemed that she may catch a cold. Let her have a good rest. There are still many ingredients in the
refrigerator and | could simply make something to eat by myself.”
“Fine, I'll help you.”
When she got to the kitchen downstairs, Stella made herself a steamed egg custard, thinking that
Clarence probably didn't eat much, so she cooked some pasta for him.
Clarence leaned against the wall and looked at her so quietly. When she turned around to look for
something, he handed it one step ahead.
And that saved her a lot of trouble.
She took the spoon handed by him and the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise, “| didn't see that
you have a gift for being the kitchen helper. Sure enough, when God closes one door, somewhere he
opens a window.”
Clarence raised his hand and rubbed her head casually, “The water is boiling.”
Stella made a face at him and turned around to work on the pot.
Soon, the egg custard is ready.
She turned off the fire, and just as she was about to serve it, Clarence held her hand, “Be careful of the
heat.”
While speaking, he had already taken out the heat-insulating gloves, brought out the bowl, turned
around, and put it on the dining table.
At the same time, the pasta in the pot is also cooked
Sitting at the dining table, Stella looked at the egg custard in the bowl, then looked up at him and
laughed.
Clarence asked, “What are you laughing at?”
She picked up the spoon and said, “It's nothing, | just suddenly remembered that time when | was
pregnant last time...”
She was cooking in the kitchen by herself, and he came back from outside and asked her to get him
something to eat as well.
It's almost the same scene as now.
Only at that time...
Clarence raised his brows slightly, probably remembering the scene she was talking about.
But that time was not a good memory.
Stella said that and didnt mention it again.
Ouring that time, when she almost lost her hope in life, it was he who gave her a faint light in the dark
world.
If he wasn't behaving so hard-mouthed on the surface, it would be quite sweet.
She sighed and whispered, “If I keep eating like this, how much weight will I gain when I give birth.”
No matter what she ate or used, those were much better than before during this pregnancy. Clarence
asked Alisa to make
some nutritious soup and meals in different ways every day. And she was not in the same difficult place
as before.
Over time, it was inevitable that she would gain much weight.
He laughed and said, “Didn't you say in that way you could have the motivation to lose weight?”
She pouted, “I said that before, but losing weight was not an easy task...”
Clarence said, “If you think less about things that haven't happened all day, you will have more time to
work out.”
Stella was speechless.
She knew that he would not say anything pleasant.
“Fine, let's eat.”
After eating, when Stella was about to collect the dish, he took it from her, “Go back to have a rest, I'll
come to you later.”
“I just finished eating, then I put away the dishes, and that could be counted as using the extra time to
lose weight in advance.”
The smile in his dark eyes deepened, thinking that she was still the same as always that is she would
never let herself get the short end of the stick.
Back upstairs, when she was going to take a bath, Clarence took off his coat and said, “There is one
thing that I forgot to tell you.”
Stella turned around and asked, “What's the matter?”
He put his coat on the sofa and said, “Daniel and Sherry are going abroad these days. If you are too
busy at the studio, I will ask Max to help you.”
Stella was stunned, “Going abroad? I haven't heard about that from Sherry.
After a pause, she asked again, “What are they going to do?”
Clarence answered lightly, “It should be to choose a scene for wedding photos.”
Stella couldn't help but widen her eyes, “Wedding photos?”
This was indeed something she didn't expect.
He looked at her and added, “But Daniel hasn't told her, don't ask her about this. Let's keep it a secret
for now.”
She nodded knowingly, hugged her clothes, and said with deep sympathy, “Yes, if Daniel said it, Sherry
would never go with him. Although they are together now, she is still not interested in getting married.
But I didn't expect Daniel to move so quickly.”
After saying that, she suddenly felt that it was reasonable in some ways.
Daniel has been talking about marriage for a long time...
Clarence said without changing his look, “So, don't tell her first.”
She nodded, “Don't worry, I promise, my lips are sealed.”
Then she turned around and went into the bathroom.
She was happy that even her steps have become lighter.
This was good news.
She entered the bathroom, took off her clothes while she failed to unbutton her underwear on her back.
Just as she was groping, the bathroom door was opened, and the underwear buttons behind her were
easily unbuttoned by him.
Stella said, “Why did you come in again?”
He put his hands on the washstand beside her, and lowered his head to her, “I'm here to see how
sealed your lips are.”
“You.
Before she could finish her words, her lips were pried open.
Clarence put his hand behind her ear, bit her lower lip, and deepened that kiss.
They came out of the bathroom an hour later.
Stella didn’t feel sleepy and sat at the bedside reading a book.
While Clarence asked, “Aren't you sleeping yet?”
Then she suddenly closed the book, turned her head, and stared at him intently.
Clarence was confused.
Her eyes were bright while asking, “Let's look at a hypothetical situation, would you fall in love with a
girl ten years younger
than you who is innocent and adorable?”
He moved his brows and said teasingly, “In what way?”
Hearing how he stressed those words, she felt that her eyebrows were twitching.
Without waiting for her to speak, he continued, “I only do that to you.”
She smashed the closed book on his chest, and said angrily, “Can you be a little serious?”
His lips curled up and he said, *Then ask me again.”
She was speechless.
Then she turned over, pulled the quilt, and closed her eyes, “No. I am going to sleep.”
He hugged her from behind and slowly answered the question she had just asked, “I don't know, and
I'm not interested in pure and cute girls. I like spicy ones and those with a sharp tongue.”
Stella was confused for a moment.
Is that a compliment or a scolding?
