It would take Stella around ten minutes from the garden to the main house.
Phoebe added, âIâm quite busy recently, so I couldnât make time to visit you, Ms. Radomil. Do you like staying here?â
Stella smiled faintly, âNot bad.â
She could still eat, drink, and sleep.
Phoebe looked at Stellaâs belly and said, âI havenât seen you for a few days, but your belly grew so big now. Youâll give birth pretty soon, wonât you?â
Stella didnât tell her about the exact date, and she only nodded.
Actually, Stella couldnât quite tell how she felt about Phoebe.
She only knew that no woman in this world would not mind her fianceâs ex-wife and be so considerate and caring.
Phoebe was truly a gentlewoman from a rich family. She was graceful and well-educated. She was not so arrogant and rude as Annie. However, for her care and consideration, Stella always felt quite uneasy.
Firstly, Stella believed that her relationship with Phoebe was quite awkward. Secondly, Stella was quite certain that Phoebe had her plan to treat her so well.
How could one person treat the other very kindly for no reason? Besides, they didnât meet each other for a long time. Stella even didnât think they were friends yet.
The most important was that Clarence was between them.
However, Stella thought probably she herself was quite narrow-minded and thought Phoebe evilly. If she were Phoebe, she wouldnât have done such things.
Arriving at the door of her bedroom, Stella said, âMiss Steward, thank you.â
Phoebe said with a smile, âYou are welcome.â
After a pause, she added, âBy the way, I will go shopping with Annie this afternoon. Ms. Radomil, would you like to join us?â
âNo, thanks. As long as Annie meets me, weâll get into a fight.â
âIâve forgotten about it...â Phoebe added, âI just think that youâve been staying in this house for so many days, so having a walking outside should be good for you. Ms. Radomil, please rest assured. As long as Iâm here, Annie wouldnât trouble you. You can think about it. We wonât leave until the afternoon.â
Stella smiled politely. After nodding at Phoebe, she walked to her room and locked the door.
Phoebe turned away. Before she took a few steps, Annie showed up from the corner. Unhappiness was written all over her face, âPhoebe, why did you invite her? I donât like her.â
Phoebe said, âAnnie, no matter what, Ms. Radomil is Clarenceâs ex-wife. You canât insult her.â
Annie smiled disdainfully, âSheâs just his ex-wife. If she didnât pregnant with this child, does she still think that she could enter our Conradsâ Mansion?
Besides, Clarence is getting married to you soon. She should get out as soon as possible.â
Since Clarence was in the garden now, Annie had been suppressing her anger for so many days. Right then, she blurted them out without any restrain. She was afraid that Stella couldnât hear her, so she raised her voice deliberately.
Phoebe looked a bit helpless, âAnnie, please...â
Stella was sitting in her room. She pulled out the earplugs and started listening to the music, isolating herself from the outside.
No matter what Phoebe aimed to do by approaching her, Stella believed that she was leaving soon. She should be safe and sound for the rest few days and not let anything unexpected happen.
During lunch, because of Phoebeâs existence, the atmosphere at the dining table was quite weird.
However, except for Stella, all of them didnât feel anything. Stella felt quite uneasy.
She could only lower her head and take small bites on her food, trying her best to make others ignore her.
She wished that they could finish lunch as soon as possible.
However, things didnât go as she had expected.
While they were eating, Phoebe looked over at Clarence, âClarence, since you are taking a break today. Iâm going shopping with Annie this afternoon.
Could you come with us, please? We can shop for some wedding things.â
As soon as she spoke, the air in the dining room seemed to be solidified.
Of course, Dempsey was the unhappiest one.
Before Clarence answered, he put down the tableware and pulled a long face, âPhoebe, the matter that youâll marry Clarence was decided too hurriedly. Besides, the situation is quite complicated now. Just wait until the baby is born.â
âI know it, Uncle Dempsey. Weâll get married after Ms. Radomil has given birth to the baby. However, the time is up. Itâs not early for us to get prepared right now.â
âYouâd better discuss this matter with your father again. Since you are sure to get married, you donât need to be so hurried.â
Upon hearing it, Phoebe bit her lower lip secretly. Then she put on a smile, âUncle Dempsey, you are right. We donât need to be so hurried. After all, weâve waited quite a long time already.â
Right then, Joanna suddenly uttered a few words, âClarence, what do you think?â
All people at the table including Clarence had never expected that she would suddenly ask Clarence for his opinion.
Clarence looked up at Joanna expressionlessly.
Joanna continued, âI watched Phoebe grow up. Sheâs almost my half-daughter. If you get married, Iâll put in some effort. If you want to hold the wedding in advance, you can let me handle this matter. I can arrange everything very well.â
Justin said, âMom, letâs talk about this matter later.â
Joanna ignored him and added, âItâs so rare for us whole family to sit down and have a meal. Since Phoebe is here, how about we take the chance and made a decision. This is the first time that Phoebe gets married. The wedding should be well prepared.â
âAs for the baby.â As she spoke, Joanna cast a glance at Stella, who was silent in the corner, âThey divorced long ago. There should be no conflicts between the two.â
Clarence didnât answer, looking extremely cold.
Phoebe chimed in to meddle, âAunt Joanna, thank you so much. But what Uncle Dempsey said was right. Since Clarence and I are surely getting married, itâs alright no matter when the wedding will be held.â
Joanna continued, âIt matters, Phoebe. It could show how much a man loves you.â
The whole dining table fell into silence again.

She even thought that she should hide under the table. Hence, the show would be more wonderful.
In that case, they wouldnât need to imply something because of her existence. They could talk directly.
Probably this lunch with evil intentions was aimed at her purposely.
They kept reminding her how much they disdained and disgusted her marriage with Clarence every second, just like how much they disliked her.
When all of them thought that Clarence wouldnât answer. He said indifferently, âThere are no conflicts indeed.â
He said, âIt doesnât matter if itâs held earlier or later. But I always like things to happen in advance.â
His implication was quite obvious - he had agreed to hold the wedding as soon as possible.
