Seeing that she was in a good mood, Stella probed, "You and Daniel..."
Sherry said, "By the way, | forgot to tell you. We went to take wedding photos."
Stella's eyes widened slightly, as did the smile on her face. "Really? In that case, are you going to get
married?”
Sherry pulled her as they sat on the sofa and hemmed and hawed. "It's just a photo, I'm only treating it
like any other glamour shot. As long as | look good it's fine.”
Stella was amused.
Well, she wasn't wrong.
"Have you gotten the photos? Let me take a look."
Sherry opened her phone and handed it over.
Stella kept smiling as she flipped through the photos.
No wonder so many girls loved to take wedding photos. They were really beautiful.
This level of perfection in beauty and happiness could only be captured in the wedding photos.
Stella looked at them for a while and looked up at Sherry. "Why is it only indoors? Didn't you go take
any on location?"
Sherry took the phone and coughed. "It's too cold in Ottawa."
To go for a whole week and only get these indoor shots was kind of strange.
In order to cover up the lie, Sherry opened her mouth again. "There will be more opportunities in the
future. We'll go to a warmer place next time to get more outdoor pictures."
Stella nodded in deep thought. “Indeed.”
Another crisis averted.
Sherry gave the gift she bought to Stella. It was an ice sculpture souvenir from the Rideau Canal. It
was crystal clear, like a real ice sculpture.
Stella placed it on the desk and instantly felt that the statue belonged here, and she felt her gaze being
drawn to it.
Sherry said, "Not bad, right? | knew you would like it!"
Stella smiled and looked away. "I like it.”
Then, Sherry took out another box from the suitcase. "This is for your Mr. Conrad. It's one big and one
small. The details are somewhat different.
They're a matching set."
Stella did not expect that there would be one for Clarence. After taking it, she said, "Thank you. He will
definitely like it.”
Sherry sighed. "Don't comfort me. | know that he is picky. And this thing is not worth much.
It is just a decoration."
“Don't worry. Although he is picky, he is stubborn and soft-hearted. Clarence is a person who
occasionally says harsh words,
but he's not one to snub a well-intentioned gift."
Stella put away the things. "Well, you have been on the road for so long. Go home and rest."
Sherry nestled on the sofa. "I don't want to move. I've been sleeping on the plane. I'm not sleepy. Let's
have hot pot tonight.
I've been craving it the whole week abroad."
"Sure. It's still a little early. You should rest for a while and we'll go later." Stella glanced at the time.
As she spoke, she stood up.
Sherry said, “Are you going out?"
Stella said, "I just happen to be free right now. I'll take the gift to Clarence."
"This is quite heavy. I'll help you take it out."
Sherry carried the things out of the studio and handed them to Maxwell.
Stella turned around and said, "Why don't you come with me? I'll go up and give it to him, and then
we'll go eat."
Sherry said, “I won't disturb you. When you're almost done, call me. We can meet at the restaurant."
Stella smiled. "I see him every day, I won't be long."
Knowing that Sherry did not want to go, she did not force her. "Then I will go first.
You can go back inside."
Sherry waved at her. "Be careful on your way."
When they entered the studio, Sherry suddenly remembered that Daniel had gone to find Clarence and
called him. "Are you still at Clarence's place? Stella is going your way."
Daniel said, "I'm on the way to the studio. Shall we go home together?"
Sherry said, “I'm eating out with Stella, but you came at the right time. Come and help me take this
suitcase back."
Daniel was silent for a second before he asked, "Can't I come too?"
Uh...
Sherry replied, "Don't you have your own friends?"
Daniel said seriously, "Yes, but because of your friend, he went far away."
The two of them ribbed and bantered for a while, talking about nothing. Stella was amused.
This was what a relationship was supposed to be, just having fun and making happiness in the
everyday.
To pretend to bicker every so often.
Stella had just arrived at the door of Clarence's office when Nathan came out.
She whispered, "Is he busy?"
Nathan said, "Mr. Conrad is dealing with some documents now. There will be a meeting in half an
hour... I will postpone the meeting to 5:30."
Stella stopped him. "No need. I'm just here to give him something and leave. You are busy. Don't worry
about me."
Nathan looked at the box in Maxwell's arms. Looking at the weight, if it hadn't been brought in by Stella,
the front desk would probably have thought it was a bomb and called the police.
Nathan nodded slightly and opened the office door for Stella.
When Stella entered, Clarence was standing in front of the French window on the phone.
She asked Maxwell to put the gift on the desk.
After Maxwell left, she found a knife on the table and began to open the cardboard box.
Halfway through Stella's unboxing, Clarence's low voice came from beside her ear, "What is it?"
Stella said, "It's a gift that Sherry brought back from abroad."
“9H
"That's not appropriate," he said.
Stella knew what he was thinking and snorted. “What are you thinking about? We have one each, a
set."
As she spoke, the cardboard box had already been opened. Stella put down the knife and opened the
box. Just as she was about to take out the thing inside, Clarence stuffed the phone into her hands. “T'll
do it."
Just as Stella was about to say something, she saw that the phone was still on the call.
Clarence took the phone and said, "Your father is on the other side of the line."
Stella glared at him. She had already seen the caller id.
She picked up her phone and walked to the French window. She said softly, "Dad."
William smiled. "Are you off work so early today?"
Stella said, "No, I came to deliver something to Clarence. I'll be leaving soon."
After a pause, Stella continued, "Dad, how are you and Chan doing in London?"
William said, "Chan has been in school for quite some time now. Don't worry, he has adapted well here
and is getting along well with his classmates and teachers. Everyone likes him very much."
Hearing this, the corners of Stella smiled. "Chan is just like that. He's well-liked everywhere he goes. "
