Chapter 53


    After Ste had gone far, she finally felt a bit chill from her back.


    She had never known that rence would be so idle. How could he have time to care about if she had


    eaten, washed her hair, or dated someone?


    She could understand the way how this wretched man was doing things less and less.


    Ste hailed a taxi, heading directly to Sherry’s home.


    When she arrived, the door was unlocked. She heard the suppressed sobs from the inside.


    Ste stood at the door for a few minutes. Then she turned around and left in silence.


    If it had happened to her, she should be by herself alone in peace as well.


    After arriving home, Ste sat at the desk, staring at a nk paper in a daze.


    The kind of feeling that she had never had before surged in her heart.


    Sherry and Liam were in love for five years. None of them had expected that he would cheat on Sherry


    one day.


    In fact, Ste thought both Sherry and she were the same. In the three-year marriage with rence,


    she tried to be a qualified Mrs. Conrad peacefully. She knew how much he hated her, so she was quite


    clear what she should and shouldn’t do. She had never expected anything else.


    However, she wasn’t a robot without any feelings. They had been together for three years, so many


    days and nights.


    If it weren’t that Vivian had appeared, Ste thought that they would be leading such a life forever.


    However, during those days and nights, no matter it was the cold rence or the tender one after he


    had been drunk, he had never belonged to her and he would not either.


    When she recalled those days, she realized that she cared about her marriage, but she also knew that


    it wouldn’t change anything at all.


    She had thought everything would be fine after divorcing him. She could start a new life. However,


    judging from the situation, she didn’t think that the wretched man would let go of her.


    It made her feel like being stung by a thorn in her heart. She knew where it was, but she couldn’t take it


    out.


    ...


    On the second day, Ste went to Starry Lake Mansion after rence had just left home to his office.


    Seeing that she came in with two employees of a movingpany, the servant was so panicked that


    cold sweat oozed on her forehead. She had to make an excuse. “Excuse me, Mrs. Conrad. Mr. Conrad


    said other people are not allowed to enter...”


    Ste knew the wretched man’s character. “I won’t let them in. I’ll take the luggage down myself.”


    As she spoke, she pulled the empty suitcase and walked upstairs.


    The servant followed her tightly, trying tofort her, who seemed to have a fight with her husband just


    for the time being. “Mrs. Conrad, why don’t you wait until Mr. Conrad toe back? If you move


    without his presence, he’ll be quite angry.”


    “Have you seen him not angry before? He believed that my belongings have upied his territory and


    displeased him. If I move them away, he wouldn’t have many excuses.”


    “s... Mrs. Conrad...”


    Since she failed to convince Ste, the servant sneaked out secretly and made a call to rence.


    Ste walked into the cloakroom. Looking at the closet that had upied the whole wall, she felt that


    her temples were popping.


    All the clothes were tailored ording to her size, but she had never worn them before. None of them


    truly belonged to her.


    However, she could understand why rence wanted her to move her belongings away. Probably in


    the near future, a new hostess would move into Starry Lake Mansion. If she saw those clothes fully


    upy the closet, she would be quite unpleasant.


    Ste had to admit that rence truly embodied capitalism with no waste of human and material


    resources.


    After she put a few clothes into her suitcase, it was full.


    Looking at the tip of the iceberg, she regretted why she would have told him that she would move by


    herself.


    Now, she couldn’t move away from all her clothes in this closet. She even couldn’t carry the luggage


    down by herself.


    When she was wondering what she should do, the servant returned with a phone in her hand. “Excuse


    me, Mrs. Conrad, Mr. Conrad wants to talk to you.”


    Ste took the phone over, feeling quite helplessly suddenly. “Mr. Conrad, I...”


    The man spoke coldly, “You don’t need to move them.”


    Ste hadn’t expected he would be so kind. After being startled for a moment, she asked, “Pardon?”


    rence snorted. “Can’t Horace buy you new clothes?”


    Before Ste could answer, he had hung up the phone immediately.


    Staring at the phone, Ste couldn’t return to her senses for a long time, wondering what he was angry


    about this time.


    After a long while, Ste heaved a sigh helplessly. She put back the clothes that she had put into her


    suitcase.


    The servant was stillforting her. “Mrs. Conrad, Mr. Conrad, and you are still in the cold war. You


    know his character well. He’s always missing you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t...”


    Ste looked back at her and smiled. “We’re not in a cold war. We’ve divorced already.”


    Upon hearing it, the servant was startled. She never expected that they had ended up in such a terrible


    situation.


    When the servant was still in a daze, Ste had packed up her other belongings, dragging the luggage


    downstairs.


    Although they didn’t have to move anything, the employees of the movingpany still came here to


    help her. Ste paid them and let them leave.


    ...


    Conrad Group.


    Nathan knocked at the door of the CEO’s office. “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad. I just received a call from the


    Conrads'' Mansion. They said it’s Mrs. Joanna Conrad’s birthday this Saturday. You need to go back...”


    Without looking up, rence hummed and said, “Prepare her a gift.”


    “Yes, Mr. Conrad.” After a pause, Nathan added, “Mr. Conrad, a few days ago, Mr. Justin Conrad


    seemed to have been to SG Jewelry Magazine.”


    Upon hearing “SG Jewelry Magazine”, rence frowned deeply.


    Noticing that, Nathan realized that this subject wasn’t appropriate. Immediately, he exined, “It’s


    nothing serious. I’ll go ahead and prepare the gift then...”


    rence looked up at him, parting his thin lips. “Tell me.”


    “Mr. Justine Conrad asked Ms. Radomil to design a ne for Mrs. Joanna Conrad. It seemed to be


    the gift for her.”


    “Has she finished the design?”


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Yes...”


    rence knocked on the desk slightly, keeping silent.


    After a while, Nathan said tentatively, “Mr. Conrad, shall I find you a date for the birthday banquet for


    Mrs. Joanna Conrad?”


    “Whatever.”


    After finishing his words, rence lowered his head again and continued with the documents.


    Nathan answered and left, feeling a heavy burden on his shoulders instantly.


    Since Mr. Conrad didn’t refuse, it meant that he agreed even though he said whatever his date couldn’t


    be anyone.


    Nathan found it so difficult, wondering how he could let Ste be Mr. Conrad’s date on that day.


    In the afternoon, Nathan wasn’t in the office. A call was transferred from the front desk to the


    assistant’s office, saying that a designer from the SG Jewelry Magazine wanted to meet Mr. Conrad.


    Nathan was always in charge of themunication with Ste and SG Jewelry Magazine, so other


    assistants didn’t know the details. One of them went to the CEO’s office and asked what to do.


    rence put down the pen in his hand. Rubbing between his eyebrows, he said, “Let here


    upstairs.”


    He thought that Ste came over to show her weakness. He felt quite delighted.


    After ten minutes, the door of the CEO’s office was knocked.


    rence answered in a t tone, “Come in.”


    When the door was pushed open, he didn’t spare a nce at her at all. He stood up and strode to the


    sofa. Then he said while putting on airs, “Pour me a cup of coffee.”
