Chapter 96


    Ste had never expected that rence saw the torn page from the draft book. Instantly, she blushed.


    She wanted to retort him but couldn’t find any right word.


    rence said indifferently, “Why don’t you keep making excuses?”


    After a long while, Ste said, “I was just polishing my skills.”


    Honestly, she didn’t believe in her excuse herself.


    However, thinking that the wretched man didn’t have normal logic, she hoped that he would believe it.


    Right then, rence curled up his thin lips, giggling in a low voice.


    Ste red at him in silence.


    What was so funny about it?


    rence said, “Let’s go. I’m starved.”


    After a long morning, finishing lunch, and arriving home, Ste wasn’t in the mood to talk to the


    wretched man at all. She directly walked upstairs for a nap.


    However, as soon as shey down, there was a knock on the door.


    Ste suppressed her anger, got up, and opened the door, “Mr. Conrad, what’s up again?”


    rence held a ss of water, “Take your pills.”


    “I’ll take them after my nap.”


    “Before the nap.”


    rence’s tone was quite aggressive, sounding as if he would gulp it down her throat if she refused.


    Ste took over the ss, walked to the desk slowly, and sat down. Then she opened the bag of the


    pills and swallowed them with sips of water.


    After that, Ste looked back, only to find that rence was sitting on the couch of her bedroom. With


    theptop on hisp, he was working.


    Ste was confused.


    She directly reminded him, “Excuse me, Mr. Conrad. I’m going to take a nap.”


    rence didn’t raise his head. He answered indifferently, “Go ahead. I didn’t stop you, did I?”


    Ste gritted her teeth, “Mr. Conrad, thanks for bringing me the water. I’ve taken the pills. You can


    leave now.”


    rence’s slender fingers paused on the keyboard. He looked up at her slightly and then out of the


    window, “I like the view here.”


    It seemed that he refused to leave her room, didn’t he?


    Ste was annoyed. Before she could speak, rence added, “You think I don’t care about you, don’t


    you? Go ahead and take a nap. I’ll apany you here.”


    “I didn’t say it!”


    “No difference.” rence didn’t care about it. He said, “Ste, I don’t want to bemented as an


    irresponsible man again because of you. Go ahead with your nap. I don’t want to repeat.”


    The wretched man truly cared about others’ opinions on him, which Ste had never expected.


    She decided to give up. She couldn’t do anything to him anyway. She’d rather calm down.


    Lying on the bed, Ste tucked her in the quilt with her back towards him, “Mr. Conrad, please pull the


    curtains for me.”


    rence was silent.


    A few secondster, Ste heard the sound of pulling the curtains.


    Shey on the bed, curling up her lips into a smile. It was so dark in the room now. She wondered how


    the wretched man could continue working like that. She didn’t think that he would be sitting in her


    coach for the whole afternoon.


    For a long time, there was no sound in the room again.


    After taking pills, Ste felt quite sleepy shortly. She rubbed against her pillow, falling asleep.


    A whileter, Ste felt the space behind her slightly moved. She was dizzy and didn’t sense anything


    wrong. She turned around and held something in her arms. It was cool and cozy. She clung to it and


    rubbed.


    ...


    When Dolores came back from her trip, it was getting dark. She didn’t see Ste in the yard, so she


    guessed that Ste must be napping in her room. After put rice in the rice cooker, Dolores went


    upstairs.


    She knocked at the door of Ste’s bedroom, “Ste, are you there?”


    Ste rubbed her eyes and answered in a hoarse voice, “Yes, I am.”


    “Time for dinner. You can get up now.” Dolores paused a bit and asked again, “Has re gone?”


    Ste wanted to answer, but she sensed something wrong suddenly.


    The man who was supposed to sit on the couch was lying next to her on her bed, his hands wrapping


    her waist.


    Before Ste returned to her senses, she heard Dolores’ voice again, “Hello, Ste?”


    Ste blurted out, “What? Oh, well, he might be gone. I was napping in the afternoon. I didn’t see him.”


    Dolores said, “All right. I’ll go downstairs.”


    Right after Dolores left, Ste heard the man’s deep and hoarse voice in her ears, “You are extremely


    skillful in lying.”


    Ste was still shocked and couldn’t utter any word.


    Who should be med for?


    In a hurry, Ste pulled his hand away and got up. She was so annoyed, “Mr. Conrad!”


    rence sat up with one leg slightly bent. He answered with a sleepy tone, “What’s wrong?”


    “You...” Ste couldn’t find her tongue because she was so angry with him. After a long while, she said,


    “I can call the police!”


    rence asked, “Do you want to call the police just because I slept on your bed?”


    “It’s not the matter of the bed. You slept beside me without my permission!”

    “Didn’t you often sleep beside me?”


    “At that time we haven’t divorced yet. It was legal.”


    After a long while, rence asked, “Oh, for real?”


    Ste suddenly was speechless again, because his indifferent tone reminded her of the night that she


    spent with him not long ago.


    It happened after they had divorced.


    rence got up, “I’m leaving since you don’t call the police.”


    Ste could only re at him.


    The wretched man sounded socent.


    When he pulled the door open, Ste hurried stopped him, “Wait!”


    Right now, Ms. Anderson was cooking in the kitchen. If he went downstairs, she would see him.


    Ste said, “I’ll go downstairs first... Come downter.”


    After finishing her words, she trotted downstairs without waiting for rence’s response.


    Right then, Evelyn happened to take something over. She was talking to Dolores. Seeing that, Ste


    exhaled slightly. Fortunately, she was smart and didn’t let rencee down first. Otherwise, if he


    met Evelyn, there would definitely be rumors in the neighborhood and she couldn’t exin at all.


    However, Ste never expected that as soon as she came downstairs, rence entered the house


    from the door.


    Ste quieted down.


    She was staying on the second floor, which wasn’t high from the ground, but she believed that this


    wretched man did it on purpose to piss her off.


    Comparing to Ste, Evelyn was more shocked when seeing rence. She widened her eyes and said


    in disbelief, “rence... Mr. Conrad, why are you here?”


    After all, she realized that rence was a famous tycoon. It wasn’t so appropriate for her to call his first


    name directly.


    rence nodded slightly and greeted her, “Hi, Ms. Beckham.”


    Evelyn saw him wearing slippers, more confused.


    Dolores exined in a low voice, “This is my son.”


    “What?”


    rence didn’t care what was going on behind him. Casting Ste a cold nce, he went back to his


    room.


    Ste noticed that his shirt was dirty.


    He couldn’t me her for it, could he? He should me himself for sleeping on her bed for no reason.


    She was almost freaked out.


    At the door, Evelyn was in a daze as if she couldn’t ept the fact at all.
