Stella felt the way to the toilet a great torture for her.
She even regretted putting forward this excuse.
When Stella was regretting it inwardly, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. Before she could react, she was pulled to a corner aside.
Looking at the man with coldness written all over his face, Stella subconsciously took a step backward, âMr. Conrad, didnât you say that you want to go to the toilet?â
Clarence looked askance at her and said in an extremely calm voice, âWhy didnât you believe in my words before?â
â...â
Why did this wretched man suddenly mention other matters?
Stella shifted her gaze, âMr. Conrad, please, I...â
Clarence put one hand beside her to obstruct her way, âStella Radomil, how long has I left?â
It sounded like he was denouncing her. Stella subconsciously knitted her brows, âMr. Conrad, what do you mean? Should I obtain your permit before having a meal with my friend?â
âAre you sure that Emmett only regards you as a friend?â
âIt has nothing to do with you.â
Clarence fixed his black eyes on her and said word by word, âYou told me you love me before. Why does it have no relationship with me?â
âWhen did I say that? Itâs you who...â
âIt doesnât matter no matter who said it. What matters is this thing.â
Clarence didnât want to quarrel with him because this wretched man was so good at justifying an unreasonable thing.
But Clarence didnât intend to let her leave; instead, he narrowed his confinement of her and asked in a low voice, âI left for several days. Do you miss me?â
Stella was rendered speechless.
Was he an insane?
Stella said seriously, âMr. Conrad, please behave yourself and mind the impact it may have. Weâre in other peopleâs house.â
Several seconds later, Clarence said, âI miss you.â
Stella was stunned as she hadnât expected that Clarence would suddenly say these sweet words to her.
Clarence had been like this during this period â he would make her lost for words from time to time.
She even found it hard to start an argument with her.
Right at this moment, Emmettâs voice sounded from afar, âStella?â
Stella instantly came back to her own sense. She didnât know where she should look at and was so nervous at the moment.
Clarence put his hand into his pocket and curled his lips into a smile.
Emmett walked over. Before he asked, Clarence said in a clam voice, âShe got lost and I came to find her.â
Emmett slightly pressed his lips, yet he didnât point out his lie in the end, âItâs in the front. Follow me.â
When Emmett turned around, Stella trampled Clarenceâs foot fiercely.
Clarence was caught out of the guard and moaned silently.
Emmett turned around when he heard the sound. Seeing Clarenceâs knitted brows, he asked, âMr. Conrad, whatâs wrong?â
Stella smiled at him, âMaybe he feel uncomfortable. He will feel better soon. Letâs go first.â
Emmett nodded his head. Before leaving, he said good-intentionally, âThereâre some maids here. Mr. Conrad, if youâre lost, you can ask them.â
After finishing the words, he left together with Stella.
Clarenceâs temples thumped. Looking at their backs, he gritted his teeth.
When walking, Emmett turned around to have a look and then paused.
Stella also stopped when she sensed this, âWhatâs the matter?â
Emmett pressed his lips, âStella, actually I want to tell you one thing long ago.â
Stella said, âI also have one thing to tell you.â
âThen let me say it first.â
He was afraid that he would not be able to say those words to Stella if she said it first.
Stella slowly nodded her head.
Emmett said, âMaybe youâve perceived it. I donât know how to tell you, so I only choose to tell you now. Maybe...â He suddenly chuckled, âMaybe itâs because Iâm afraid of your refusal.â
âEmmett...â
âStella, please let me finish my words first.â Emmett continued, âIâve been fallen for you for many years. When Horace was staying by your side, I saw the sincere and bright smile on your face, so Iâve never thought of bothering you. But now, I get the chance again and I donât want to miss it.â
Stella replied after several secondsâ silence, âIâm sorry.â
âStella, you donât need to apologize to me. I choose to confess to you at this point of time because I want you to know about my attitude. I wonât require you to give me your answer immediately. I know that Mr. Conrad is also pursuing you recently, so I hope that you can give me an opportunity for fair competition.â
Stella curled her lips into a light smile, âHeâs not pursuing me. Heâs just making a fuss self-willfully.â
âNo matter what, I can see that Mr. Conrad likes you.â
Stella didnât reply.
Emmett continued, âAll right, I feel much more relaxed after confessing to you. Stella, what do you want to tell me?â
Stella pondered for a while, âEmmett, thanks for your favor. But at present I...â
Knowing that she was refusing him, Emmett interrupted her, âI told you that you donât need to tell me your answer right away. It doesnât matter even though you donât like me now, because maybe you will fall for me one day. Peopleâs feelings are different every day. I will try hard to get your love.â
Emmett continued, âStella, please give me a chance. And give yourself a chance too.â
Stella slowly raised her head when she heard the words. She moved her lips, yet was lost for words.
...
When they went back to the dining hall, Clarence had come back and sat down.
Clarence took a glance at them and asked in a cold voice, âMr. Conrad, are you lost?â
Emmett smiled, âItâs hard to walk to there in the evening. Mr. Conrad, looks like youâre uncomfortable. Shall I ask them to send you some medicine?â
âMr. Carter, looks like youâre so familiar with Mr. Thomas. I guess you must have visited him frequently.â
Emmett replied meaningfully, âNot that familiar. Itâs just that we knew each other long ago, at least before you, Mr. Conrad.â
Clarence gradually pulled a long face. With his thin lips pressed together, his black eyes were tinged with a touch of coldness.
Seeing that the two men had a spat again, Stella felt her head aching.
Cameron didnât understand what was going on. He asked William in a low voice, âAre they fighting for who knew me first?â
William chuckled. He added some tea to Cameronâs cup and shifted the topic, âI heard that Ms. Radomil is running a studio. May I have the honor to visit it?â
Stella nodded her head, âThatâs my pleasure.â
William said, âIs it convenient for me to visit it tomorrow afternoon?â
âYep. Mr. William, you can come whenever you like.â
Clarence said slowly, âIâm free tomorrow afternoon. I can accompany you, Mr. William.â
Stella was rendered speechless.
William smiled, âItâs my great honor if you can go with me, Mr. Conrad.â
Emmett wanted to get a word in, but he perceived a glance from the man sitting opposite to him. He clenched his fists and didnât say anything in the end.
