Chapter 1905


    Ste recollected herself and shook Paul’s hand, saying,” Thank you very much for your support to the


    welfare center.”


    Paul not only covered his face, but Ste also realized he was wearing gloves when she shook his


    hand.


    She could feel that Paul’s hand was not very big. She had not met a man with such small hands before.


    She wondered to herself, ‘Could it be because he’s short?’ Paul said, Money is something you can’t


    bring with you when you die. I’m just trying to help as many people as I can before I end up on the


    sickbed.”


    Paul spoke as if he was going to die anytime and had epted his fate.


    Ste looked at him from head to toe. He was wrapped up so tightly that the only visible part about him


    was his eyes.


    ‘But he doesn’t look very old. What a strange man.’ Ste thought to herself.


    “H-Have you been well over these years?” Paul suddenly asked.


    Ste was taken aback as her gaze deepened, “Do you know me?’*


    Paul’s expression remained the same as if that was just a casual question, “I’ve met with your mother,


    Rainee Spade, a few times.”


    Almost all of Rainee’s friends had attended her funeral.


    Ste looked through Rainee’s contacts on her phone and told each and every one of them about her


    death.


    However, Ste had never seen Paul.


    Over the years, when Rainee stayed in the hospital, Paul never once visited her either.


    ‘Is it possible he could remember my mom just because he had seen her a few times?


    Besides, there are so many other welfare centers out there. Why choose to donate at the one my mom


    has supported before?’ ’ As Ste thought about that, she said, “So, you’re an old friend of my mom, I


    see. Mr. Morant, could you please give me your number? My mom used to say that her business would


    never seed without her friends, and I guess you’re one of them. I’d like to visit you sometime in the


    future on her behalf.”


    “I don’t live in Rivera,” Paul said tly. “I only came here… because there’s something I need to take


    care of. I’ll be leaving in two days.”


    “You don’t?” Ste paused before continuing, “You sound exactly like a local.


    So, where do you live?”


    Paul stiffened as his tone turned somewhat cold, “This is my private matter. I don’t have to tell you


    everything about myself, do I?”


    Ste pursed her lips, “I’m sorry if that came out rude.” Paul had an indescribable look on his face.


    After a long pause, he told Shelley, “I’ll not take up any of your time now that you have another guest.”


    Although Shelley persuaded him to stay, he insisted on leaving. So, she stood up and walked him out.

    Ste followed behind them and scrutinized Paul. Then, she secretly took a photo of him with her


    phone.


    Shelley was worried that Ste’s words might have offended Paul. She kept exining on Ste’s


    behalf.


    Paul waved his hand. When he was about to speak, a child ran toward him and identally bumped


    into him. His hat fell off, revealing a sparse scalp.


    Ste was stunned. Paul hastily picked up his hat and put it back on. He moved so nervously that his


    hands were trembling.


    Shelley was very embarrassed and scolded the child, who ran over before apologizing to Paul.


    Paul’s face turned pale. Then, he got into his car and left without saying anything.


    After that, Shelley breathed a sigh of relief, “How pitiful of him.”


    Ste hesitated and asked, “Ms. Cooke, do you know Mr. Morant well?”
