Chapter 43
The next day, after finalizing the house Ste wanted to rent, she moved into the house with the little
luggage she had.
Sherry and Channing did not let her clean up the house and asked her to just sit and rest.
Stey on the sofa. She ordered afternoon tea for them while thinking that she was still quite happy
actually.
The child would be taken care of well as he or she had such a good godmother and uncle.
She lowered her head while thinking of the child and put her hand on her belly lightly. She wasn’t sure
whether she grew fatter recently, or the child had grown up. Her belly turned slightly bigger.
Sherry had to work that afternoon so she only could ask for a two-hour leave. She bought Ste a
bunch of groceries, “Ste, I can’t take care of you anymore, so you must take good care of yourself.
Don’t get starved.”

Channing came out of the kitchen, “I will take care of my sister.”
Steughed, “Don’t be like that. I am not a child. Don’t worry about me so much.”
“You’re not a child but there is a baby in your belly,” Sherry said. She came closer to her belly, “Baby,
be obedient. Don’t torment your mother, or else I will beat your little ass when you are born.”
Not long after Sherry left, Ste said, “You also go back first. I can clean up the rest myself.
“No,” Channing said. “I’ll stay here with you for a few days, and I will leave after you are familiar with
the surroundings.”
Ste couldn’t help but smile, “Do you really want to treat me like a child? I am your sister.”
Channing replied to her seriously, “I will only stay here for a few days so that people know that there is
a man at your home and will not look at you like a girl living alone and bully you.”
Ste who was smiling froze for a moment, and she did not reject his kindness, “Then I’ll buy a single
bed for you. Thenter you cane and live here.”
“No need, I can sleep on the sofa.”
Channing said and went out to throw the rubbish in the house, “I will go back to get some clothes. Do
you want to eat anything? I will help you to buy and bring it back.”
….
After one month.
“Phoebe, sorry to trouble you that every time I ask you to apany me here.”
Phoebe held Reba''s arm andughed softly, “Reba, that’s alright. I am staying at home alone
also, so it’s good for me to apany you out for a walk to take a break.”
Reba sighed, “Horace has been unhappy with the family because of the marriage with the Conrad
family. We should have known this earlier and shouldn’t have agreed to the marriage. Look at the
miserable situation now. The Conrad family doesn’t like us, and Horace is not happy. Both sides are not
pleased.”
“Reba, you misunderstood. rence is not unhappy with you all. He just…”
Reba suddenly lowered his voice when Phoebe was talking, “Phoebe, there is something I wanted
to ask you a long time ago. I heard rumors that rence is not the biological child of Mrs. Conrad, but
an illegitimate child of Mr. Dempsey. Since you always went to their house when you were small, do
you know whether it is true?”
rence was taken back to the Conrad family when he was seven years old, and the Conrad family
imed that he was born in poor health and had been recovering abroad, plus Mr. Dempsey used
some tactics, so after this, no one talked about it anymore.
Also, the gap between the time in which rence was taken back to the Conrad family and the time in
which Justin became disabled after having an ident and could not inherit thepany was only two
months.
If the previous statements were only rumors, then the quarrelling scene she saw at the house of the
Conrad’s family would make her suspect more.
Phoebe smiled apologetically, “I never heard of this story before. Reba, don’t think too much. It also
makes sense that rence disagrees with the marriage between Horace and Annie. You also know
that Annie is notoriously arrogant. What if she bes more arrogant after she marries Horace, then it
will be a problem of two families, and twopanies.”
“rence always dislikes making himself in trouble, plus Annie is only his cousin. He is definitely not
willing to go help her with these things.”
Reba agreed with what she said and said helplessly, “I don’t like Annie either, but my father thinks it
is a good opportunity to have intermarriage with the Conrad family. My father was very angry with how
rence actedst time, and I guess the intermarriage will not happen in the end.”
Phoebe nodded, “Horace is so outstanding and there must be many girls who like him. He surely can
find someone better than Ann…”
Before Phoebe finished her sentence, she suddenly saw a familiar figure at the entrance.
“What’s wrong?”
Phoebe averted her eyes, “I think I saw a… friend.”
“Friend?” Reba also turned her sight to where Phoebe was looking, but she only saw an unfamiliar
face. She asked, “Did your friend alsoe here for an antenatal examination?”
“What?”
“Don’t they alle here for an antenatal examination? How long has your friend been pregnant? Do
you want me to refer her to my doctor?”
Phoebe shook her head. She took Reba’s arm and walked out, “No need, I think I saw the wrong
person. Reba, let’s go.”
She was not wrong. The person just now had to be Ste.
Even if she had only seen her photo, but she was sure that the woman was Ste as she could not
forget her look.
Phoebe stopped walking when they reached where the car was parked, “Reba, I suddenly
remember that I have something to do, so I won’t go back with you now.”
“Okay…where are you going? I’ll let the driver give you a ride.”
“No need, the ce I want to go is just around here.”
After they separated, Phoebe went back to the hospital. She saw Steing out of the doctor’s
office when she walked to the obstetrics department.
Furthermore, Ste was holding the same book as Reba, which was to record information of the
antenatal examination.
Looking at Ste’s back, Phoebe furrowed her thin eyebrows gently.
…
Ste received a call from Stanford after she had just left the hospital.
A customer had gone to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine and wanted to customize a type of
jewellery. He had named her as the one to design the jewellery.
Ste said, “I’ll be right there.”
After the first model of the ‘Puppy Love’ series had been introduced by SG Jewelry Magazine, every
series which was introduced by SG Jewelry Magazer were popr and received rave reviews.
During this period, many magazine publishers havee to ask Ste to work with them, including
many famous jewellery brands, but she rejected them all.
Stanford was the one who knew her talent and took the risk to sign her when she had nothing and
needed to gain her recognition the most. Therefore, she would not leave SG Jewelry Magazine during
this time.
At the office of SG Jewelry Magazine…
Stanford exined to Ste briefly when he brought her to the VIP lounge, “Although we did not
receive any customization of jewellery before, the purpose that SG Jewelry Magazine intended to do its
independent brand is to develop thepany in multiple aspects. But don’t worry, you will be dealing
with high-end clients to customize the jewellery.”
In short, the advantages of doing so were that both SG Jewelry Magazine and her could make
themselves famous and reputable in the circle of high-end customers, and also got a very high
mary reward.
Ste nodded, “I will do it properly.”
When they reached the door of the conference rooms, Stanford reached out and knocked on the door.
Then, he pushed open the door, “Mr. Conrad, our designer has arrived.”
When the person inside turned around, the smile on Ste’s face stiffened subconsciously.
Howe… it was him?
