When Stella was back home, Sherry finished cleaning the kitchen and Daniel was gone.

The noise from the door attracted Sherry’s attention. She immediately looked toward the door being

ready to ask questions, only to find that Stella was covered by a male coat, looking not in very good

conditions.

Well, no need to ask.

Seeing the scene, Winnie raised her eyebrows and got up holding her handbag, “Well, I should go now.

Have an early night.”

Stella pulled herself together, “Clarence has left, so how are you going to go home?”

“Take a cab.” Winnie put on her coat with a cap and then wore a mask. She covered herself completely

with clothes and then winked at Stella, “Will I be recognized this way?”

Stella shook her head.

Winnie smiled, “That’s fine. I gotta go, bye.”

Shery saw her off at the door, “Hey, have a safe trip. Let me know when you are home.”

“Ok.”

After Winnie left, Channing turned to Stella, “You ….”

Stella coughed, “I go to the bathroom.”

She ran away as soon as she finished.

Channing didn’t move but frowned looking at her back.

Sherry came to him and whispered, “Chan, don’t ask her. She knows what she is doing.”

Channing was in silence for a few seconds and then turned to Sherry, “It’s late. I gotta go.”

“Fine, go home now.”

Hearing the door closing, Stella poked her head from the bathroom and asked in a low voice, “Chan is

gone?”

Sherry stretched herself on the sofa, “Yes.”

Stella took a breath and walked out slowly. She took off the coat putting it on the arm of the sofa and

poured herself a full glass of water.

Sherry held a pillow and asked curiously, “What did you talk about?”

“Talk … what?”

“You and Clarence had been downstairs for a long time, but you said nothing?”

Remembering what happened downstairs, Stella paused for a second, then pressed her lips slightly

and said through gritted teeth, “He is insane!”

Sherry continued, “Tell me the details.”

Stella, “….”

She slowly sat down beside Sherry and speak in a low voice, “Sherry, in fact, I suddenly find that it’s

more and more difficult to read Clarence’s mind. I know him well, but what he had done was often out

of my expectation. It’s really confusing.”

“You think he has changed?”

Stella shook her head. She didn’t think Clarence has changed, but … sometimes he was lees mean

than before and even showed to be gentle occasionally.

Sherry became more interested and moved closer to Stella, “I told you that the wretched … Mr. Conrad

is like a primary school boy who would do something childish and stupid in front of the girl he likes to

attract her attention. But according to my recent observation, in terms of dealing with relationships, he

has graduated from the primary school and become a middle school boy.”

“….”

Stella lowered her head in silence.

She had always thought that Clarence liked her on a whim. He liked her now, but he would like

someone else in the future. When he lost his interest in her, everything would go back to square one.

However, she was surprised to find that Clarence’s interest in her could last for such a long time and

showed no recline but kept going up.

Noticing her silence, Sherry said in a soft tone, “Stella, you know it clearly that Clarence likes you more

than your expectation.”

Stella was confused, “Huh?”

Sherry began to analyze, “Haven’t you discovered that since you got divorced Clarence has been

messing you up? But it’s more like that he was trying to create opportunity to see you.”

“But ….”

“Think about it. He went to Aqock for you and helped you move back to Starry Lake Mansion. He asked

you to have an abortion, but he never took any measures to force you to do that. When you were stuck

in the Conrads' Mansion, he allowed me to visit you. And the most important thing is that he broke off

his engagement to Phoebe Steward.”

Sherry continued, “What you may not know is the fact that the cancellation of the engagement

impacted the Conrad Group to some degree. The Steward family didn’t make it clear, but those

companies cooperating with the Steward Group purposely made difficulties for the Conrad Group’s

programs now and then. I acknowledge that Clarence is capable and powerful, and these troubles are

no big deal to him, but he should be busy finding new partners ….”

Stella understood what she meant. What mattered most now for Clarence was to cope with the mess in

his company, but he still managed to find time to see her.

It proved that he meant it.

Stella rubbed herself between the eyes, “I don’t want to talk about it now. Let’s go to bed.”

“Well.” Sherry added, “Would you like to call Emmett? I feel he has been hurt today.”

Stella nodded slightly, “I’ll take a shower first and then call him.”

“Ok, I continue to clean the house.”

After half an hour, Stella walked into her bedroom while drying her hair with a towel.

She sat on her bed staring at her phone hesitant, and then she dialed Emmett’s number.

The phone rang for a while, but no one answered.

Stella hung up and put her phone down slowly. She came to her desk and sat down. She took out a

pocket watch from box and then staring at it quietly, lost in her thought.

While she was looking at the watch, Clarence’s words suddenly came back to her mind.

Stella took a deep breath and then put her head on the desk listlessly.

She never took what Clarence said serious before, thinking he was totally insane, but today, she was

somehow overwhelmed by mixed feelings, and she could tell what the feelings were.

After careful consideration, she admitted that what Sherry said did make some sense.

When she was informed of the news that Clarence had broken off his engagement to Phoebe Steward,

she was confused and couldn’t figure out why did he do that.

But at that time, she was not in the mood to care about it and it had nothing to do with her.

When Stella was completely immersed in her own thoughts, her phone on the desk vibrated.

She sat back immediately and saw Emmett’s number flashing up on the screen.

She picked up the phone and heard Emmett’s voice, “Sorry, Stella. I was in a meeting. What’s the

matter?”

Stella paused for a while before she uttered, “Am I interrupting you?”

“No, the meeting is over.”

Stella was relieved and said, “I am so sorry. I invited you to have dinner tonight, but something

unhappy happened.”

Emmett replied, “I am the one that should apologize. Something came up in my company, so I left in a

hurry without saying goodbye to you and Sherry.”
