Chapter 288: Chapter 288

At three o’clock in the early morning, when Stella was still in sleep, she suddenly heard a string of vibration from the phone on the bedside table.

She thought it was her alarm clock, so she picked up her phone and randomly closed it. She put her phone on the bed and then fell asleep again.

But after a short while, the phone vibrated again. Stella was finally woken up. With a pair of drowsy eyes, she grabbed her phone and took a glance at the screen. She then found that it was not the alarm clock, instead, it was a call from that wretched man.

Stella received the call, put the phone near her ear and asked in a husky voice, “Hello?”

Clarence’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “Are you sleeping?”

With her eyes closed, Stella even felt it annoying to speak, “It’s already three o’clock? What should I do if I’m not sleeping? Mr. Conrad, it’s in the midnight now. What’re you doing?”

“I just got off the plane.”

Stella, “...”

She instantly became sober. God, she almost forgot that he would come back from abroad today.

Having not received any reply from the other end of the phone, Clarence asked, “Do you fall asleep again?”

“Not yet.” Stella slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, “Then Mr. Conrad, have you arrived home?”

“I’m now at the downstairs. Go downstairs.”

Stella was stunned. She came to her own sense after a short while and realized that he meant he was at the downstairs of her how.

Stella ended the call, wore a coat and walked out of the house.

Although it was already spring, it was still cold in the evening. When the cold breezes flowed over her face, she felt it cold.

When Stella went downstairs, she saw a tall man leaning against a car. He looked so handsome yet indifferent.

Ever since having a meal with him last time, Stella had never seen him again.

She gently heaved a sigh and slowly walked towards him.

She stood in front of Clarence and asked, “It’s in the midnight? Why don’t you go home and come to find me instead?”

Clarence inexplicably raised his brows. He reached out, poured her into his arms and then whispered in her ear, “I want to see you right away.”

Stella felt her heartbeat accelerating. She only replied after several seconds, “You can see me tomorrow, oh, exactly today. You can see me several hours later.”

Clarence didn’t say anything. He simply hugged her tightly.

After a long while, Stella asked, “You know about it, right?”

“What should I know?”

“I...”

Stella immediately shut up.

If he didn’t know about it, why did she tell him proactively?

Stella said in a dejected voice, “Nothing.”

Clarence gently patted her back, “Then what do you want to say to me?”

“Nothing.”

“Oh,” Stella paused and then quickly added, “Mr. Conrad, I want to go back to sleep, can you let go of me now?”

Clarence, “...”

He said in a displeased tone,” You should tell me that you miss me. I don’t want any other answer except for this.”

“Please ask it again.”

“Never mind. You’re so insincere.”

Stella twitched her mouth corners, “If I’m not sincere, I would not have gone out in the midnight regardless of the cold breezes.”

Clarence tightened the grip on her waist, “Do you feel cold?”

“Don’t hug me so tightly, I feel breathless.”

Clarence looked down at her and then lowered his head and landed a kiss on her lips. When Stella was caught out of the guard, he stuck his tongue into her mouth and flirted with hers.

It was a long kiss. When it was over, Stella panted, “You...”

Clarence said, “Didn’t you say that you’re breathless? I’m giving some oxygen to you.”

Stella, “...”

She said sulkily, “You’re so disgusting.”

“It was you who said that.”

Stella didn’t have the mood to talk nonsenses with him, “I have to go to sleep now. Otherwise, I will not be able to wake up tomorrow.”

Clarence said, “You can keep sleeping.”

“Unlike you, who have a great fortune, I’m not that free. I’m woken up y my poorness every morning. How will I earn money if I don’t go to work?”

“Remarry me. Then my money will be yours.”

“No, thanks. I don’t intend to do so temporarily.”

Stella left his embrace, “I have to go. Mr. Conrad, please go home earlier.”

Clarence grabbed her wrist, refusing to let go of her.

Stella was confused.

Clarence fixed his black eyes on her, “Can’t I go upstairs with you?”

Stella gritted her teeth, “No way!”

What was this wretch man thinking again?

Then can you come back to the Starry Lake Mansion? I will send you back tomorrow morning?”

Stella reminded him, “The day will be breaking several hours later.”

Clarence pressed his thin lips together. He didn’t speak, nor did he let go of her.

It was the first time for Stella to realize that Clarence was a clingy person. She was in a dilemma about whether to come back or not.

It seemed like what Sherry said before was right – absence make the heart grow fonder.

In the end, both of them make a compromise.

Stella didn’t go upstairs and Clarence didn’t require her to come to the Starry Lake Mansion with him.

...

Time passed second by second and the sun rose slowly.

Stella looked up and rubbed her eyes. Then she saw a person who was looking into the car window.

She was startled and subconsciously wanted to sit up. But she was pressed into his arms again. At the next moment, the man’s husky yet charming voice sounded, “Sleep for a more while.”

Stella was so frightened that she woke up immediately. She didn’t have the mood to sleep now. She took away his hand and pulled open the car door, “Go back home to sleep later. I have to go to work now.”

After finishing the words, she hurriedly got off the car.

Clarence opened her drowsy eyes, looked down and pressed his eyebrows.

When Stella got off the car, Sherry leaned forward and chuckled, “Awake?”

Stella’s face got red when she heard the question. She held up her hand, pulled her towards their hold and asked, “Why did you look into the car window just now?”

“I didn’t see you when I woke up and I couldn’t reach you when I called you. When I went downstairs, I saw Clarence’s car. But I didn’t expect that...”

With curiosity written all over her face, Sherry nudged Stella, “What happened in the car last night? You were so tired and directly slept in the car?”

Stella, “...”

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out several words, “Nothing has happened. We simply slept in the car.”

“Really? I don’t believe it.”

Stella pressed a button of the lift and said righteously, “Nothing has happen. What’re you always thinking of dirty things?”

Although when sleeping, that wretched man’s hand tried to cruise her body, he was stopped immediately.

Stella took a shower after going back home, changed her clothes, and then went to the studio together with Sherry.

When they got off the car, they saw a familiar person standing outside of the studio.

Sherry took a glance at Stella and asked surprisingly, “How comes she’s here?”

Madison looked towards then when hearing her voice.
