Chapter 94


    On the way back home, Ste didn’t speak at all.


    Only the wretched man could have said the bandit theory so naturally.


    Arriving home, Ste said in a low voice, “Mr. Conrad, I’ll go upstairs and go to bed.”


    Seemingly rence wasn’t willing to talk to her at all, he just hummed coldly.


    That attitude was the true color of this wretched man.


    After returning to her room, Ste locked the door from the inside. Then she took her clothes and


    entered the bathroom.


    She didn’t take a nap in the afternoon, and she had walked to so many ces with rence. Now she


    just wished that she could lie down as soon as finishing the shower.


    However, unexpectedly, when she was half done with the shower, the light above her was out.


    In a few seconds, the bathwater became cold as well.


    Immediately, Ste turned off the tap. In the dark, she fumbled for a towel and wrapped her hair. Then


    she put on her clothes slowly and opened the window to peer out.


    Sure enough, the electricity was out in the wholemunity.


    Anqiao Street was too old with old infrastructures, so the electricity would always be out from time to


    time, but mostly it happened during the daytime. It didn’t impact their daily lives too much and the


    electricity would be back shortly.


    This was the first time that it was out at night since Ste moved here.


    She walked out of the bathroom, staggered, and finally managed to reach her cell phone on the desk.


    She turned on the shlight and walked downstairs.


    She remembered that Ms. Anderson mentioned her candles were in a cab of the living room.


    However, after she had found the candles, Ste found another difficulty.

    She didn’t have a lighter.


    She had looked through every ce but failed to find a lighter.


    Ste turned around, looking at the ck door of a bedroom. She gave up and heaved a sigh, “Excuse


    me, Mr. Conrad. Are you sleeping?”


    A few secondster, the door was open. rence looked at her expressionlessly, “What do you want?”


    “I... The electricity was out. Do you have a lighter? May I borrow it to light the candle, please?”


    rence said rudely, “Weren’t you sleepy long ago? The electricity is out now. What else do you want


    to do?”


    Since she was asking him for help, Ste answered in a good manner, “I still haven’t finished washing


    my hair. I need to boil some water and wash hair.”


    “How will you boil the water?”


    “There’s a coal stove in Ms. Anderson’s house. I saw itst time. I can use it.”


    rence pressed his lips, “Where is it?”


    Ste answered, “It should be in the kitchen. I can’t remember it exactly. I need to look for it.” After a


    pause, she didn’t forget why she asked him for help, “By the way, Mr. Conrad, could you lend me your


    lighter please?”


    “No, I can’t.”


    Ste was angry in silence.


    With such an attitude, he must be dreaming to let her remarry him. She cursed him inwardly.


    rence walked out of his room, took a candle from her hands, and walked directly into the kitchen.


    When Ste followed him over, the candle was lit and put on the shelf. The little me was swaying in


    the breeze.


    rence managed to find the coal stove from a pile of things. He cast Ste a nce and asked


    unhappily, “Why are you here?”


    “I...”


    “Wait outside.”


    Using the candle on the shelf, Ste lit up other candles in her hands. When she left the kitchen, she


    left rence another one out of kindness.


    When she walked to the yard, Ste put all the candles on the stone table. Rubbing her hands, she


    looked up at the sky.


    Without the city lights, the moon looked clearer and brighter in the sky.


    Shortly after, Ste heard some movements in the kitchen, but she didn’t see rencee out for a


    long time. She waited, but she couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Conrad, do you need any instructions?”


    After a few seconds of silence, a voice answered her in the kitchen, “Shut up.”


    “All right.”


    Ste waited for another ten minutes. Then rence walked out with a coal stove in his hands.


    After he put the pot of water to boil on the stove, rence bent down on his knee and looked at her,


    “What else? Just tell me in a one-go.”


    Ste blinked, “I’m hungry.”


    rence was speechless.


    Ste was afraid that he wouldment “were all food you previously ate digesting in a dog’s tummy?”


    After all, he had used a lot of animals to mock her tonight.


    She mumbled, “It’s quite easy for pregnant women to get starved. Besides, you asked me yourself.”


    “Are you ming me for it then?” rence wasn’t in the mood to argue with her, pulling out his phone.


    Ste noticed that he was dialing Nathan’s number. She hurriedly said, “Mr. Conrad, please don’t. I just


    said that casually. Please don’t bother Nathan. It’s sote now.”


    rence put down his phone, staring at her in silence with his ink-ck eyes, “What do you want


    then?”


    Ste asked him for a favor, “There are some snacks in my room. Mr. Conrad, would you mind getting


    some of them for me downstairs?”


    If it weren’t for the inconvenience caused by the darkness, she would have gone upstairs herself.


    rence stood up, “Wait here.”


    Ste smiled at his cold face, “Thank you, Mr. Conrad. They are in the small basket on the desk.


    Please pick up a few bags at random.”


    Second floor.


    Ste’s desk was under the window. The moonlight fell on the desk, peacefully and gently.


    rence found the basket full of snacks with one glimpse. He didn’t want to pick anything up. Instead,


    he picked up the whole basket.


    He turned around and took a few steps, and then he felt that he was stepping on something.


    He took a step back and bent down one knee.


    ...


    Ste supported her hands on the table, looking at the swaying candle mes, lost in thought.


    Sincest night, rence treated her quite weirdly. Although he was still sharp-tongued, he could care


    about her details and take care of her. She wondered if he was impacted by the environment in this


    town.


    After a while, there was something put in front of her.


    Ste returned to her senses. Raising her head and looked at the whole basket of snacks, she parted


    her lips and wanted to speak. However, she swallowed her words after they reached the tip of her


    tongue. It was already nice of rence to condescend and get the snacks for her. She shouldn’t ask


    much.


    She put on a smile, “Thank you, Mr. Conrad.”


    rence pulled a long face and said, “Instead of thanking me, you’d better make less trouble to me.”


    Ste ignored his words directly. She opened a bag, “Mr. Conrad, do you want some?”


    “Nope.”


    She was happy as she asked just for being polite.


    Ste chewed the snacks. While she was eating, her mood got better than better.


    rence was sitting next to her, staring at her. After a moment, he suddenly called her, “Ste.”


    “Yes?”


    In the dark, rence frowned slightly. Looking down at her belly, he parted his thin lips, but still, he


    didn’t finish his words.


    Ste asked, “Yes, Mr. Conrad?”


    rence withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, “Eat less junk food. It’s not good for your brain.”


    Ste was choked up by his words.


    Right then, the water on the coal stove was boiling.


    Ste put down the snack in her hands and was about to take a basin. rence stood up and strode


    into the dark.


    Two minutester, he came out with a basin of cold water.
