Chapter 6


    After saying those words, she lost all her consciousness. When she woke up once again, she was


    inside a strange room and a strange man was lying down beside her. The scattered clothes near the


    bed were enough to prove what had happenedst night. Her throat was a little dry. After feeling sad


    for a while, she started to console herself. At least that guy still looked okay, he was way better than


    that pigst night.


    Having remembered what happenedst night, Ste was worried of Channing. She quickly wore her


    clothes, wanting to get back. As she was going to leave, she seemed to have woken the man on the


    bed up. He slightly wrinkled his eyebrows. Ste immediately put the nket on his head and patted


    softly, whispering, “It’s alright, keep sleeping.” She looked like she was cajoling a child. Ste only ran


    away when no more sound was heard under the nket.


    The creditor hade to her house once again. Luckily Channing was not home because he was


    seeking her. Ste called him to report her safety and asked him not to go home recently but go to his


    friend’s house for a while. She then sought for Sherry. After hiding here and there for two months,


    Ste suddenly realized she was pregnant one day.


    It was 4am when Ste woke up. She got up and drank a ss of water, sitting in the living room and


    started to watch movies and TV shows about first love these two years. She tried to get back that kind


    of na?ve, pure and sweet feeling once more.


    Ste had kept herself in the room for three days and she finally had some basic ideas in her mind. As


    she was going to draw it out, she received a call from a strange number. She put down her pencil and


    spoke politely, “Hi, who is this?”


    “…Missus, I’m Nathan, Mr. Conrad’s assistant. Mr. Conrad is going for a business trip to Maldives


    tomorrow. He wants to ask you for the blue-and-white striped shirt.” Ste was exceptionally annoyed


    to be interrupted when she just had some ideas, and even by such a trivial thing. That made her


    suspected rence was seeking trouble on purpose. She then replied rudely, “Excuse me? I’ve


    divorced him and what does his shirt have to do with me? Ask the housemaid please.” After finished,


    she hung up without hesitance.


    Two minutester, her phone rang once more. And the iing call was from rence himself. She


    fell silent for a moment and still picked it up. “Ste Remodel,e back in half an hour.”


    “I…” This time, without waiting for her to reply, rence hung up straight away. Ste grasped her


    phone and was so eager to beat that man up. She took a deep breath and after calming herself down,


    she got up and left the room. Seeing her, Sherry asked, “Honey, it’ste now, where are you going?”


    “I’m going to drag that bastard to hell with me!”


    “…”


    Of course, Ste only said that for fun, how would she have the ability topete rence? After


    reaching the Starry Lake Mansion, she noticed the servants had already all gone to rest and the


    surrounding was exceptionally quiet.


    Ste went upstairs to the second floor and pushed the bedroom door open. rence was sitting on


    the couch in his casual clothes. He was flipping the document in front of him with his slender fingers.


    He did not raise his head and nce at her although he had heard the sound.


    Ste walked straight to the closet and she finally found the blue-and-white striped shirt the assistant


    was talking about after searching the ce all over. She was slightly startled upon seeing the shirt. It


    was the shirt she had specially bought for rence when she knew he wanted to go for a business trip


    to Hawaii, during the year when they had just gotten married. The shirt was very suitable to be worn to


    a beach.


    When she gave the shirt to him, he only looked at her coldly and said, “Don’t try using such a cheap


    way to please me, and avoid those mind-games that would be exposed right away.” Ste did not know


    what mind-game had she yed, but from that onwards, she had not bought anything for him anymore.


    Now he had deliberately asked her toe back for something he treated as waste back then. If it was


    not to take revenge and make a fool of her, what would it be?


    Ste took the shirt and left the closet silently. She put it on the bed. As she was going to speak, she


    realized rence was talking to somebody on phone. His voice was low throughout and he did not


    glimpse at her even once, as if she did not exist. Ste initially wanted to talk to him about the divorce,


    seeing there was not a right time, she turned and left straight away. Her arrival and leaving were fast


    like a breeze.


    rence finally lifted his head when she walked out of the bedroom. He watched her back and looked


    like he did not expect her to leave so soon. He pursed his lips and spoke ndly to the one at the other


    end of the call, “Yes, that’s it for now, I still have other thing to do.”


    Ste was called and held back when she just reached the living room downstairs. rence stood on


    the stairs and looked at her in a superior way. His expression was indifferent as usual. “Have you found


    the shirt?”


    “I’ve put it on your bed.”


    “What about the others?”


    Ste did not quite get what he meant and she asked, “What others?” rence frowned, looking


    unhappy. “My business tripsts for a week, do you think I’ll wear only one shirt?”


    Ste felt speechless. When she had stayed there back then, she would always pack his luggage for


    him when he had to go for a business trip the next day. She did not expect that after humbly being his? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    wife for three years, not only she did not receive anypliment, she had made him developed such a


    bad habit.


    Ste said calmly, “Mr. Conrad, I have to remind you again. We’re already divorced, therefore finding


    your shirt and packing your luggage for you are no longer my responsibility. Please find the housemaid


    or your next wife, stop calling me with no reason anymore, thank you.”


    rence’s expression remained the same. He walked downstairs with moderate speed and stopped in


    front of her. “Then let me remind you too. We still haven’t gone through the divorce formalities, so


    legally, you’re still my wife, and only you can do these things.”


    “…So there’s no more room for discussion?”


    “I don’t want to repeat it the second time.”


    Ste pursed her lips. She took out her phone and started to search for a phone number. “Great, since


    you like to order someone that much, I’ll ask Vivian Sean toe pack your luggage for you, she’ll


    definitely run faster than a rabbit.” Yet as she just found the number and wanted to dial it, her phone


    was snatched away. rence looked at her frigidly. “Ste Ramodil, have I been too lenient to you


    recently?”


    Ste looked at her empty hand and only smiled after a while. “I hope Mr. Conrad could be more


    careful in his words. I can’t handle those words.” rence’s look became gloomier. “When would you


    stop ying hard to get? Ste, stop challenging me. Just tell me what you want straight away.” Ste


    paused for a few seconds and said, “Didn’t you say what I want is the Conrad Groupst time? Would


    you give it to me?”


    “You wish.”


    “Then let’s divorce, I don’t want anything.”


    rence frowned with impatience. He shoved one of his hands into the pocket and said, “What else


    would you say besides that word?” Ste felt more baffled. Didn’t he want to get rid of her as soon as


    possible all the time? Why did the situation look like she was the one pleading to divorce him now?
