Stella was not going to waste her time on arguing with him, so she talked back immediately, “Never

mind if you don’t want to tell me.”

Clarence grabbed her shoulders and asked word by word, “Stella, do you like Emmett?”

“…” Stella frowned, “What a weird question.”

“Just answer me.”

Stella answered after a while, “No.”

Clarence tightened his grasp and asked again in a soft and low voice, “Then do you like me?”

“You stopped me here for asking these boring questions?”

“How could they be boring?”

Stella raised her voice, “They are totally boring! And, I have been wondering why did you come to my

party with my friends. Don’t you feel embarrassed and uncomfortable?”

“Not at all.”

“But Mr. Conrad, have you found that everyone else was upset by your present?”

Clarence responded in an unemotional voice, “I don’t care others’ opinions. I only care you.”

Hearing his words, Stella couldn’t help laughing, “Mr. Conrad is serious?”

“Yes.”

“If Mr. Conrad really cares what I think, haven’t you figured out that I hate you? Your appearance upset

not only my friends, but also me ….”

Clarence interrupted her, “Stella, this is your answer?”

“What ….”

Stella realized what did he mean as soon as she uttered the first word.

He referred to the question that if she liked him.

Stella looked at him calmly, “I thought you knew the answer.”

Clarence asked, “Now that you hate me, why did you help me today?”

“I simply considered that since you were one of the guests joining us for dinner, we shouldn’t destroy

the atmosphere because of you. And, I owed you a lot, so I want to seize every opportunity to return

your favor. That’s it.”

But Stella had to admit that she was soft at that moment.

Clarence, the wretched man had been mean to her most of the time, but he was nice to her sometimes.

Those days living at the Anqiao Street was the most peaceful and comfortable time in her life.

At that time, although Clarence couldn’t cook, he cooked fish soup for her without any complaints.

At the expense of a ruined kitchen though.

Although he always complained that she was a trouble, when there was a power blackout, he would

take out the coal burning oven to heat water so that she could wash her hair.

Even though the electricity supply was restored before he could do that.

Although he asked her to have an abortion, but he still accompanied her to see the doctor.

Although ….

Stella sighed and stopped recalling it.

Clarence said, “Stella, you like me. It’s a fact that you can’t deny.”

“So what?” Stella looked calm, “Mr. Conrad, we are both grown-ups. There’s more than like in our

world. Let me tell the truth. From the moment when I asked to divorce you, I have never had the idea

that we would get back together someday.”

Clarence pressed his lips and the apple of his throat moved up and down. He wanted to say

something, but he couldn’t open his mouth.

Stella continued, “I know it was disgusting that I threatened you with the baby to make you divorce me.

You should hate me. I deserve it. I will take the consequences with no complaints whatever they will be.

However, the past three years might be nothing to you, but I had a hard time.”

“We have been divorced for six months. And the baby’s gone as you wished. We are even now. Why

don’t you let me go?”

When she finished, Clarence said in a low voice, “You think that what I have done is annoying you?”

“Yes.” Stella answered firmly, “I only want to live my own life. If it is possible, I hope Mr. Conrad would

never show up in my life again.”

Clarence continued after a few seconds, “If we had kept the baby, would you have a different answer?”

“If we had.” Stella sighed in silence, “Clarence, you should know that the problem between us is more

than the baby.”

Clarence let her go slowly, “I see.”

Hearing that, Stella was relieved, but she felt something else too.

She was flooded with mixed feelings.

She made it so clear, allowing for no possibilities. He had to stop pursuing her this time.

When Stella was about to bid the last farewell to him, she was in darkness all of a sudden. Clarence

kissed her lips with his cold and thin lips.

Stella, “…?”

Before she could push him away, Clarence took a step back first.

Stella held her anger, “Clarence ….”

Clarence explained, “I understand what you said. But it doesn’t matter to me. It’s enough to know that

you like me.”

Stella really wanted to crack his skull to see what was inside.

Clarence continued, “It was my fault that you didn’t have a good time in the past three years, but I

never evade my responsibilities.”

“?”

“I’ll keep finding ways to compensate you till you can leave the past behind and forgive me.”

“No, you misunderstood. I didn’t mean that ….”

“Yes, you did.”

“….”

This wretched man imposed his own thought upon others as usual.

Seeing that she couldn’t come up with a retort, Clarence smiled and reached out to fix her hair

spreading around her ear, but she avoided his hand.

Clarence said, “As for the other things, you don’t have to worry. I’ll take care of them.”

Stella looked at him alertly, “What are the other things?”

“Stella, trust me. You’ll be willing to remarry me one day.”

“I don’t.”

Clarence stepped forward, “How about a bet?”

Stella rejected, “I don’t make a nonsense bet with ….”

“If I win, you have to promise something. Whatever it is.”

“What if you lose?”

“It’s impossible.”

Stella, “….”

She couldn’t stand it anymore, “Get off.”

Clarence smiled slightly in a good mood, “Have an early night. Good night.”

What the hell. How could she able to fall asleep after hearing what he said.

Clarence left soon after he finished. He moved his long legs and walked toward his Rolls-Royce by the

street.

Stella rubbed her temples vigorously. She was about to go home but to find that she was still wearing

Clarence’s coat.

She turned around abruptly, but Clarence had already driven away.

Stella looked at the empty street having no idea what she should comment.

She thought after hearing what she said, Clarence should have been pissed off and left right away as

he was bad tempered.

But to her surprise, he got a such thick skin.

But it did make sense because he managed to keep calm and show nothing in front of those people

who hated him.

Anyway, she was too naive to compete with him.
