Since their words seemed final, Stella didnât continue rejecting as she said, âAlright.â
After a pause, she asked again, âWhat time tomorrow?â
Charles replied, âTomorrow morning I will go to the company, and after everythingâs over, I will go get you. Coincidentally I have never been to your workshop too.â
When he mentioned the workshop, Stellaâs brows slightly knitted.
Was he threatening her?
Charles got up, âThis settles it. I will go back to my room now.â
Stella lightly nodded and waited for him to disappear out of view before going upstairs.
Even if he wanted to threaten him, she could only navigate things one step at a time.
Charles just didnât have the chance to visit her workshop. It was not like he didnât know the location.
The whole night, Stella found it hard to fall asleep. She didnât know where Charles would bring him, and this brought her a bad feeling.
At eleven in the morning the next day, Charles did what he had promised as he appeared at her workshop.
Stella went out to see him when she heard him saying, âCan I come in and take a look around?â
There was no way she could reject him with the way he was asking for permission.
Stella replied calmly, âItâs my honour to have Mr. Steward to be my patron.â
Charles marched into the workshop and after a little touring around, he stopped in front of her office, âThis is?â
Stella answered, âThis is the place I usually do my work.â
Charles nodded noncommittally. There was no reason for him to barge in there now.
He looked at his watch and announced, âItâs almost time. Letâs go now.â
Before departing, Stella looked at Sherry to hint that she was going to go out now. Sherry replied her with an OK gesture.
After they left, a few of the girls in the workshop gathered around, âSherry, who is that person just now? He looks like a rich and elegant man. Could it be that he is Ms. Radomilâs father?â
Sherry pouted, âMaybe heâs just good at pretending.â
âNo, wait, I have a feeling that he has been here before.... Wait, no. Itâs just that they feel the same, but I canât exactly remember who it was.â
Sherry turned her attention to that girl and she sounded curious, âThey feel the same?â
âThatâs right, they really feel like the same person. Their age is similar too. I wonder who that was.â
The girl was still racking her brain but in the end she couldnât recall that person who felt like Charles and who had also visited their workshop.
However, all Sherry could think about was Stella at the moment, so she didnât put into heart that girlâs words. She was thinking about her next step.
Just as she was about to fish out her phone and text Clarence, a familiar figure appeared at the workshop.
The girl who was racking her brain immediately widened her eyes. She started to yelp right beside Sherry, âHeâs so handsome!â
âWhat are you talking about? Thereâs a handsome man here?â
When Sherry looked in the direction of the visitor, the smile on her face immediately vanished.
â...â
Why was this person so unrelenting?
Daniel walked to where Sherry was and coughed a little with his hand perched against his mouth, âCan we talk?â
Sherry didnât know what he was planning to do, and she was annoyed by him pestering her like that. This was a good chance to make things clear once and for all.
She nodded and followed Daniel to outside her workshop. After taking in a deep breath, she began coldly, âStop looking for me from now on. Yes, I used to like you, but who doesnât like a handsome guy? I was just a little lascivious at that time, and there are some many handsome hunks in this world, itâs not like you are the only one I can have. I have woken up from my delusions, and you donât need to keep visiting me anymore and using me as your backup, I am no longer...â
Daniel interrupted her calmly, âDid you misunderstand about something?â
Daniel paused a little before continuing, âI am here to ask about Ms. Radomil.â
Sherry tried to maintain her expression, âOh, right?â
She was caught off guard! Damn it!
Daniel added, âItâs about the Designersâ Contest. Have she made up her mind about participating?â
Sherry replied, âIsnât that something thatâs set in stone?â
Daniel kept quiet for a moment before replying, âI got it. I will take my leave now.â
Sherry was befuddled.
Was something wrong with his head?
He purposely came in person just to ask something so shallow and straightforward.
Daniel stopped after taking a few steps, âRight, I didnât see Ms. Radomil just now. May I know where is she?â
Sherryâs eyelids jumped a little, âShe has gone out.â
âWith who? With Mr. Conrad?â
âSheâs with the father of your future fiancée. Heâs seemingly bringing her somewhere.â
Upon hearing that, Danielâs face grew stern. He then nodded slightly before fleeing.
Sherry couldnât help clicking her tongue. He had a huge reaction he was trying to hide upon hearing about Phoebe. It seemed that he wasnât lying about coming here to see Stella.
She was thinking too much.
...
The car continued moving forward for a long time before stopping in front of a tombstone.
After Charles had stepped out of the car, his drive immediately produced a stalk of flowers from the boot.
Charles accepted the flower without saying a thing before making his way into the cemetery.
Stella followed him from behind, and she could guess where they were going.
In the end, he stopped in front of a tombstone and bent down to place the flower in front of it, âSince you are claiming that Miranda is your mother, so you should come here to give some prayers.â
After hearing that, Stella simply smiled, âMr. Steward, youâre mistaken about that.â
Charles turned his gaze at her but there wasnât any changes in his expression, âOh?â
âI told you before that my mother only passed away after giving birth to my little brother. That means that the one resting in peace here is not my mother, and she has nothing to do with me too.â
Charles refuted, âThen where is your motherâs grave? According to what you claim, I should go visit her too.â
Stella bit her lips without giving a reply.
Previously, Mr. Thomas has asked her the same question, but compared to his sincere concern for her, Charles was just probing her to get something out of her.
Stella didnât know where her mother buried. Besides not having any memories of her mother, she never visited her grave since she was young, seeing that Jeffrey never brought her and Channing to that grave.
Itâs possible that Jeffrey was the only one in this world who knew where her mother was buried.
Charles could guess that Stella wouldnât be able to answer him, so he continued. âSince you donât know where she is buried, then you should erect a tombstone here for her. Itâs only natural for you to do that and give your blessings and prayers.â
Stella didnât want to think about that. She didnât even know who had taken her motherâs place in the car.
If her guess didnât miss the mark and combined with what she learnt from outside sources, Lyndon Steward had purposely backstabbed Charles, but in return his family was destroyed, but in reality it was Lyndon faking his identity as Charles and lived on while her mother had ran way with her in tow.
The person lying underneath this tombstone could possibly be Lyndonâs real wife.
She would never give her prayers to a nemesis.
Charles said calmly, âWhy, didnât you claim that Miranda is your mother? But now you are reluctant to even give your prayers?â
