Stella gently asked, âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Sherry heaved a sigh and spoke in an upset tone, âNothing. Itâs just that Daniel came to find me just now and told me that he will leave.â
Stella subconsciously knitted her brows when she heard the words, âWhen will he leave?â
âThe specific time hasnât been decided yet. Probably after catching Lyndon.â
âDonât make a fuss.â
Sherry, ?â
After several noises, Stella continued, âMy opinion is, no matter what, you should make the things clear with him. You canât let him leave without knowing anything.â
âNever mind. Itâs good that he will leave.â Sherry lay down on the sofa and drank a mouthful of beer to anesthetize herself. âI should go to find a man whoâs younger than me. At least I have money.â
âSherry, I... Clarence!â
Sherry, â...â
Sherry suddenly realized that she had committed a very serious mistake.
She hurriedly said, âWe can talk about this after coming to the studio tomorrow. Letâs stop here now. Bye-bye.â
Sherry quickly hung up the phone, feeling like she had barely survived a great danger.
Stella turned around and took a glance at Clarence. She subconsciously knitted her brows and said, âYouâre so annoying!â
Clarence looked up at her, âYou leave me alone during the sex. Canât I feel annoyed?â
Stella, â...â
Her voice became lower due to guilty, âSherry seemed so upset. I canât leave her alone.â
Clarence wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her lips. H said in low, husky voice, âDear, we should not waste any time.â
...
When Stella woke up on the next day, she found the alarm had ringed long time ago.
She turned over, feeling aching all over.
Stella suddenly regretted moving back and living with Clarence.
If this happened every day, who could endure it?
After lying on the bed for a while, Stella got up, walked into the bathroom for a hot bath and felt much comfortable after that.
When she walked out of the bedroom, Clarence just came back after going out to buy breakfast.
He raised his brows, âAwake?â
Stella asked, âWhy did you turn off my alarm?â
Clarence put the paper bag on the table, âDidnât you say you were so sleepy yesterday?â
âBut I have to go to the studio.â
âIâve asked them. You donât have too many affairs to deal with in the studio.â
Stella twitched her lips. This wretched man was so good at finding reason.
Stella sat in front of the table and ate the breakfast bought by Clarence. The man opposite to her suddenly said, âHave you made up your mind?â
Stella was bewildered by the question and asked, âWhat?â
Clarence fixed his unfathomable eyes on her, âMove back to Starry Lake Mansion.â
Mentioning this, Stella cracked a smile and laughed awkwardly, âIt takes time to consider it. Moreover, did you give time to consider it? Letâs talk about this several days later.â
âGive me a specific deadline.â
Stella pondered for a while and asked tentatively, âA week?â
Clarence agreed to it right away, âOkay.â
Stella, â...â
She didnât expect he would agree to it so quickly.
If she had expected this, she would postpone the deadline for one month and maybe she could negotiate with him.
Noting her regretful expression, Clarence curled his lips into a smile, âEat your breakfast. I will send you to the studio when you finish it.â
âDonât you go to your company?â
âI will go this afternoon.â
Stella groaned an answer and then lowered her head to eat the breakfast. She didnât speak again.
...
At noon...
A black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the studio.
Stella unbuckled the seatbelt and said, âI will leave first.â
Clarence replied in a flat tone, âI will come to pick you up tonight.â
âDonât bother. I can hail a taxi...â
Under Clarenceâs calm gaze, Stella felt as if whatever she said wouldnât work and swallowed the rest words she wanted to say.
After Stella got out of the car, Clarence withdrew his lines of sights and dialed Maxwell, âShe came to her studio. I will come to pick her up tonight.
Pay attention to the time.â
Maxwell received the order, âOkay.â
He paused and then asked, âMr. Conrad, shall we change a place?â
Clarence replied, âNo need.â
âThe men of the Conrad family and Joanna have been watching him. If he changes the place frequently, it will easily cause their suspicion.â
After ending the call, Clarence tossed his phone onto the passenger seat, started the car and left.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a hospital.
Nathan walked over the moment Clarence got out of the car, âMr. Conrad.â
Clarence walked over in strides, âHowâs his condition?â
âHe had an operation at six oâclock this morning, but now heâs still in ICU and heâs still in the dangerous phase.â
Clarence stopped in front of the ICU ward. Looking at the man who was having many intubation tubes and showing no sign of life, his face became cold.
He asked in a cold voice, âHave you found them?â
âWe havenât found Charles and Phoebe , but we found out the person who maliciously broke Mrs. Conradâs car. According to him, the one who instructed him to do so was Phoebe.â
Clarence sneered. He wasnât surprised.
Several seconds later, he asked, âWhich places have you checked?â
âWe found everyone who once had relationship with the Steward family as well as all the real estates under the Steward Group.â Nathan continued, âMr. Conrad, I feel that Charles and Phoebe must have escaped at two different directions. We should send two forces to find them.â
Clarence replied, âYou should just find Phoebe. Other people will find Charles.â
âOkay.â
Clarence turned around and left after staying in the ICU ward for two minutes. He instructed Nathan, âStay here and come back to the company when he wakes up.â
Nathan replied, âOkay.â
...
In the studio...
When Stella arrived, Sherry was sighing again and again with her head lying on the office desk.
Stella walked over and sat opposite to her, âHave you eaten?â
Sherry replied weakly, âProbably have.â

âI want to taste the bitterness of love.â
Stella, â...â
Sherry pulled herself together and cheered up herself. âBy the way, I forgot to ask you before. Have you... Have you moved to live with that wretched... er... Mr. Cornad?â
Stella coughed and gently nodded her head, âThe Stewardsâ Mansion was burnt. I...â
âI know, and you donât need to explain it.â Sherry continued, âLooks like I canât randomly call you at nights later.â
Stella chuckled, âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
Right at this moment, someone knocked at the door and a girlâs head emerged from behind the door, âSherry, flowers for you.â
Sherry was a bit stunned, âMine?â
The girl nodded her head, walked into the office, handed the flowers to Sherry and said with jealousy written all over her face, âDaniel is really so good to you. He often gifts flowers to you. I will feel satisfied if my boyfriend assembles him 10% in romance.â
Sherry was indeed surprised. After all, they exchanged farewells last night, and there was no ground for Daniel to continue to act.
Sherry noticed a card beside the flowers. She opened the card, took a glance and instantly wanted to vomit.
