Chapter 99


    Sherry gaped on the other end of the line.


    After a ten-second silence, she said formally, “Hello, Mr. Conrad. I’m Ste’s new friend. My name is


    Sofia Cooper.”


    rence answered indifferently, “Really?”


    “Yeah, for real. Haha... Nice to meet you, Mr. Conrad. I won’t be disturbing you, then.”


    After finishing her words, Sherry hung up the phone as soon as possible.


    The call ended after a few beeps. Then the room fell into a dead silence.


    This was the first time that Ste wished she could vanish from this world. The man’s eyes were ck


    and deepened, as cold as a pool. She withdrew her gaze, moving down bit by bit as if she wanted to


    escape through the space between him and the chair.


    However, when she just had the thought, rence folded his arms. She almost moved into his arms.


    Ste paused. Immediately, she sat back into the chair. She looked out of the window, “Haha... Mr.


    Conrad, look out...”


    “Don’t you exin?”


    Ste rolled her eyes fast, wondering how she could exin.


    She couldn’t tell him that that was his nickname, couldn’t she?


    Besides, if he understood something, it was unnecessary to speak it out.


    After a thought, Ste said seriously, “Mr. Conrad, you didn’t knock on the door.”


    “I did.”


    Ste was speechless.


    Fair enough. She couldn’t find any of his faults.


    While she was racking her brains to figure out how she could answer. Suddenly, rence withdrew his


    arms and stood up. He said tly, “The milk is getting cold. Drink it.”


    Ste grabbed the milk as if she found a life-saving straw.


    However, before she breathed a sigh of relief, rence sat on the couch, “Thinking about your reasons


    after finishing the milk.”


    Ste was choked up by the milk.


    She finished drinking the milk as slowly as possible. Then she licked her lips and said sincerely, “Mr.


    Conrad, I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”


    rence didn’t raise his head, “What did you do wrong?”


    “I shouldn’t have cursed you in private. The most important is that you overheard it.”


    “So, do you mean you can curse me if I don’t overhear it?”


    Ste waved her hands, “No. No. Of course not.”


    The wretched man was so aggressive. Although it was truly her fault on this matter, he always cursed


    her, didn’t he?


    rence wasn’t in the mood to talk to her anymore. He stood up and left.


    Seeing that he walked afar, Ste finally felt that she was alive from hell.


    Soon, Ste’s phone rang again. It was Sherry’s call. She tentatively asked, “Hey, Ste, are you still


    alive?”


    Ste was silent.


    She was almost dead.


    Sherry continued, “Wait! You are not in City N, are you? Why is that wretched... Mr. Conrad with you?”


    Ste gave a hollowugh, “Well... It’s a long story.”


    “Then make it short.”


    Ste could only tell Sherry what had happened in the past few days, but she didn’t tell her that Dolores


    was rence’s birth mother.


    Upon hearing the whole story, Sherry was surprised, “Ste, why do I feel that he likes you? It’s so


    abnormal that I can’t understand.”


    “I don’t know what’s in his mind. Anyway, he’ll be leaving in a few more days.”


    “What about you? Will youe back with him?”


    Ste shook her head. She wanted to say something but found it meaningless.


    She answered, “I don’t know yet. Just wait and see. If I couldn’t, I won’t.”


    At least, she didn’t need to care about those bothering things when staying here.


    After hanging up her phone, Ste checked the time - it was eleven o’clock.


    She was sitting for a long time, and her back hurt. She nned to walk around downstairs.


    In the yard, Evelyn and Dolores were sorting vegetables. Seeing hering down, Evelyn said, “Ste,


    finished your work?”


    Ste answered, “Not yet. It’s not a rush. I just felt a bit tired when sitting, so I came downstairs for a


    walk.”


    Evelyn said again, “It’s good for you to walk. Now your belly isn’t big yet. When it’s getting bigger, it’ll be


    inconvenient for you to move around.”


    After chatting for a moment, Dolores walked into the kitchen, preparing for lunch.


    Evelyn pulled Ste to sit at the stone table. She said solemnly, “Ste, are Alex and you truly unable to


    be together?”

    Ste’s mouth corners twitched, “No. But Ms. Beckham, thank you for your concern. I truly don’t want


    to think about those things right now.”


    “How can it be? Let me tell you. Girls should always think about themselves,” Evelyn said, heaving a


    sigh, “What’s the purpose of living? Isn’t it just a worry-free and happy life with someone who loves and


    cares?”


    As Evelyn said, she asked the person behind her, “Don’t you think so, rence?”


    Ste was speechless.


    rence hummed in a light tone. He strode up to them and sat opposite Ste.


    Hearing that her opinions were agreed, Evelyn was quite high-spiritual. She pulled Ste’s hand and


    patted on it, “Ste, let me tell you. You must look forward. Let the bygones be bygones. You can’t do


    anything about it. If you don’t like Alex, it’s alright. I can help you find another husband. Stop missing


    your ex-husband. He’s not good...”


    “Oh, Ms. Beckham,” Ste interrupted her immediately, “You’ve misunderstood him. It’s not like what


    you’ve thought. My ex-husband...”


    “Silly girl, you love him so much. Until now, you are still defending your irresponsible ex-husband.”


    Evelyn seemed to believe that she couldn’t persuade Ste. She pulled rence into their


    conversation, “rence, there should be a lot of excellent young men in yourpany, right? You can


    introduce some to Ste.”


    rence cast a nce at Ste expressionlessly, “Ms. Radomil, do you need it?”


    “No, thanks.”


    rence said again, “Ms. Radomil, I haven’t expected that you love your ex-husband so much. I’m


    quite touched.”


    Ste couldn’t find her tongue.


    She wished the wretched man to stop being so shameless.


    Evelyn realized that Ste was quite stubborn. She heaved a sigh helplessly. Then she changed the


    subject targeting rence, “By the way, rence, I heard you mention your wifest time. You should


    love each other deeply.”


    rence answered, “Probably.”


    Upon hearing it, Evelyn, the love expert, immediately sensed something wrong with his marriage. She


    said, “rence, I’ve been there. If you trust me, you can tell me your marriage problems. I can give you


    some suggestions.”


    Ste wished that she could hide in a crack on the ground. She chimed in, “Ms. Beckham, I haven’t


    done my work yet. Please excuse me...”


    Evelyn pulled her to stop her, “Ste, don’t leave. You should listen to it. Probably it’s also useful for


    you. Marriage is an art. You need to learn it.”


    rence said calmly, “She had a fight with me and she got angry. She ran away from


    home.”
