Stella woke up in late night as she was hungry. After she ended her meeting with Clarence, she did not eat anything when she came back. She only took medicine for colds.
When she sat up, she found that Clarence was there.
Stella found his clothes in the room and put it on, then she walked out in a daze.
In the living room, Clarence was dealing with the task on his computer.
Stella could not open her eyes because of the strong light, âItâs very late now, arenât you going to sleep?â
âI havenât finished reading some information yet.â Clarence looked at her, âWhy do you wake up?â
Stella held her stomach and answered honestly, âIâm hungry.â
Clarence said, âI had just ordered a meal, go check if itâs hot, if itâs cold then re-order.â
Stella saw the dining car parked at the door, so she walked over and uncovered the lid, âItâs hot.â
The temperature was just nice.
Stella put a few plates on the table. When she prepared to ask Clarence to eat, he had already walked towards her and reached out his hand to touch her forehead, âFeeling better?â
âItâs still the same.â
âTake your medicine again after you eat.â
Stella replied yes and then sat down in front of the table to eat.
Halfway through the meal, Stella looked out the window, âIs it still raining?â
Clarence replied yes.
She added, âIt looks like the construction is going to be delayed.â
âI think we can leave latest by tomorrow afternoon.â
Stella thought about it and said, âIf youâre very busy, I can go back by myself.â
Clarence raised his eyes and looked at her, âYou were so clingy to me during the day, but now you donât care anymore?â
Stella was speechless.
She said with little energy, âEat your meal.â
After finishing her meal, Stella lay on the bed again.
Clarence sat next to her and whispered, âStill not feeling well?â
Stella said, âNo, Iâm just a bit sleepy.â
âThen go to sleep.â Clarence said, âTomorrow weâll go back to City N.â
Stella replied, âYou go to work, donât worry about me, I will sleep.â
Clarence lifted the blanket and lay down, âForget about it, itâs fine to settle it tomorrow, Iâm afraid that you wonât be able to sleep without me.â
The wretched man was really shameless.
Clarence turned off the light and hugged her in his arms, âGo to the hospital if youâre still sick tomorrow.â
Stella closed her eyes, âLetâs see how tomorrow.â
Not long after, she felt Clarence patting her back. His movement was gentle.
Stella was instantly overwhelmed by some unknown emotion.
Without warning, she uttered, âClarence.â
In the darkness, the manâs voice was low, âHmm?â
âIs there really nothing youâre hiding from me.â
Clarence did not pause his movements and spoke with ease, âWhy are you asking this all of a sudden?â
âNothing, I just want to confirm again,â Stella said, âIf itâs not your fault, then itâs my fault.â
Clarence said, âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Stella pursed her lips, âNothing.â
After she returned, she should consult a psychiatrist.
After a few seconds, Clarence added, âYouâre too stressed recently. The Steward familyâs matter is over. You had done what you should, just leave the remaining to me.â
âGot it.â Stella moved and hugged his waist, her voice was light, âI really trust you now, so when you say youâre not hiding anything from me, Iâll never doubt and guess again, but if one day, if I know you were lying to me all along, letâs just break up and donât even see each other in the future ...â
Before she could say anything, her lips were blocked.
Clarence said, âAre you unable to sleep?â
Stella looked at him, âAre you having a guilty conscience?â
Clarence pursed his lips. After a long time, he spoke in a compromising manner, âI do hide something from you. However, itâs not up to me to decide whether or not to tell you about it.â
After hearing that, Stella could not help but frowned, had she guessed it correctly?
Clarence continued, âI can only tell you that there are other people supporting Daniel. He has a great connection with the Steward family, but he doesnât seem to have any intention to tell you his identity, so I canât make this decision for him.â
Stella was stunned before she continued, âIs this what youâre hiding from me?â
âOtherwise what do you think?â
Oh, it was not the thing she thought it was.
Clarenceâs voice came again, âSometimes, itâs not that I donât want to tell you, itâs just that it may not be good if you know.â
âBut ... it has something to do with me, I shall have the right to know.â
âThe person who doesnât want to tell has his reasons. You will know the truth sooner or later.â
Stella opened her mouth but could not refute.
Clarence put his arm around her, âCome on, donât think about it anymore. Anyway, they wonât harm you.â
Stella pursed her lips but she did not know what to say.
In this series about the Steward family, Daniel and the others were helping her from the beginning to the end.
At first, she just thought that they had a common enemy.
However, it turned out that the enemy was still the same but it seemed they were focusing on protecting her. For that reason, Daniel had even moved next to the studio.
She had always suspected that William was the one who supported Daniel but it was just a suspicion. She did not have any proof.
However, it was quite obvious that only a few persons were involved in the things that had happened to the Steward family.
Cameron had known that Charles was fake from the very beginning. On the other hand, William and Daniel knew Cameron. It was William who stopped Lyndon when he was in a hurry to leave on that day.
Now, it seemed that her suspicion was correct.
However, William ... who was him?
Seeing that Stella did not say anything and frowned, she must have thought of something.
Clarence licked his lips, knowing that her attention was no longer on the previous matter. He slowly spoke, âSo, donât always say the words that you had said just now.â
Stella, âOkay.â
...
When Stella woke up, it was already noon. Outside the window was the sunshine after the rain. It was so bright that she could not open her eyes.
She stretched her body and woke up. Once she left the bedroom, she heard Clarence talking to someone on the phone.
From the gist of it, they seemed to talk about the construction of Anqiao Street would be carried out as scheduled.
It was today.
She walked to the dining room and poured water, letting out a long breath.

Clarence finished his phone call, put it away and came over, âWork starts at three and the flight back to City N is at five, okay?â
Stella nodded, âAlright.â
Clarence said, âChange your clothes. Iâll bring your somewhere.â
Stella said warily, âIs it the Yue Lao Temple?â
Clarence laughed softly, âIf you want to go, we can go together.â
âThanks, I donât want to go.â
She did not want to go to the Yue Lao Temple when she saw the colorful photo frame in her house.
