Chapter 100


    Upon hearing it, Evelyn shook her head and criticized, “She’s quite short-tempered. Why can’t you


    have a conversation if something happened? Then what happened? Did you look for her?”


    “Yes, I did.”


    “Did you go back home with you?”


    “Nope. She went on blind dates while being pregnant with my baby.”


    Evelyn inhaled. She patted her thigh with strength and said in anger, “How could this happen? It’s your


    wife’s fault then! No matter how big the conflict was, she couldn’t do such a thing! It’s called infidelity in


    marriage, bigamy! Moreover, she’s pregnant with your baby! What a woman...”


    Ste, who was sitting aside silently, couldn’t help but add, “They’ve divorced already.”


    Evelyn continued, “Even if they are divorced, she can’t... What? Are they divorced?”


    She paused a bit and asked in disbelief, “rence, are you divorced?”


    rence cast Ste a nce, nodding.


    “Well... Then...”


    Right then, Dolores walked out of the kitchen.


    Evelyn spoke quite loudly, so Dolores had heard what they were talking about in the kitchen. She felt


    so bothered. Hence, she came out and pulled Evelyn out of the door with an excuse.


    After going back into her house, Evelyn asked, “Dolores, I haven’t finished talking with rence. I


    didn’t expect that he’s divorced as well. Don’t you care about your son?”


    Dolores said with a migraine, “They both are divorced.”


    “Exactly,” Evelyn said. Then she said secretly, “Oh, Dolores, I just found that rence and Ste are a


    perfect match. Since rence is divorced, too, I’ll find a chance to ask him if he...”


    “Enough. Enough.” Dolores pulled her, “Haven’t you found that they were talking about each other?”


    “What...”


    “They were both from City N. Ste came here first, followed by rence. They both are divorced. One


    ran away while being pregnant, and the other came to find her. Can you understand now?”


    Evelyn gaped.


    After digesting the news that rence’s Dolores’ son and epting it, Evelyn was lost in thought


    deeply again.


    She was silent for a long while and then said in disbelief, “Did you mean Ste’s irresponsible ex-


    husband is...”


    Dolores nodded, “I didn’t ask the details between the two. I talked to Ste before. She should have


    some misunderstandings with re. re only believes what he has seen personally. Hence, it’s


    useless for me to convince them.”


    Evenly didn’t get what she saidpletely. She patted her head in a trance. She recalled that she used


    to matchmake Alexander with Ste in rence’s presence, and she also cursed that Ste’s ex-


    husband wasn’t a human...


    She felt way too embarrassed.


    ...


    Another woman was more embarrassed than Evelyn now.


    Ste was sitting in the yard and didn’t know whether she should stay or leave.


    She hadn’t expected that Evelyn would change the subject in this way, especially she had just offended


    rence not long ago.


    Besides, the wretched man said as if he was the victim. It was because his heart was as cold as a


    stone and he wanted to give her baby an abortion, she ran away. How could he sound as if it was all


    her fault?


    rence looked into her eyes and asked indifferently, “What do you want to say?”


    Ste answered seriously, “Mr. Conrad, you are also quite skilled in lying. You came here for the


    acquisition but you said you came to look for me on purpose. Besides, what you’ve said was quite


    misleading.”


    “Misleading? So did you misunderstand that I like you?”


    Ste didn’t answer, but she acquiesced it.


    She had thought that rence would mock her for indulging in the wildest fantasy as he had done


    before. However, he said tly, “Ste, you should know even if I like it, it doesn’t mean anything.”


    Ste understood. rence’s favor might not be as important as a document in his office.


    Seeing that Ste was lowering her head in silence, rence said unhappily, “You’ve got the answer


    you expected. Don’t you want to say something?”


    After a long while, Ste said, “Mr. Conrad, haven’t you said that it doesn’t mean anything? What else


    can I say?”


    Ste believed that his favor might be on a whim or because of a man’s desire for possession. She


    didn’t think how much he liked her couldn’t evenpare with Liam’s love for Sherry.


    rence gazed at her for a few seconds. Then he said, “Ste, when you go to the hospital next time, I


    suggest you ask the doctor to check your brain up. I wonder it has been ruined by the junk food.”


    Ste was speechless.


    The wretched man started the fight again, didn’t he?


    Their war without gunpowder ended with the return of Dolores.


    After staying downstairs for a few days, rence made an excuse that the first floor was way too


    humid, so he wanted to move to the second floor.


    Dolores didn’t agree with his excuse at all and wasn’t willing to help him, so the mission finally fell on


    Ste’s shoulders.


    There were only two rooms on the second floor - one was Ste’s, and the other one was next to hers.


    Ste didn’t think he moved up with a good intention, but the wretched man could always find


    reasonable excuses. Besides, she still owed him a favor for helping Channing get back to the


    university. She had to suppress her unwillingness, couldn’t do anything but to help him sort his


    beddings.


    Time passed by and another half month was gone. Ste had been here for more than a month. Evelyn


    told her that the acquisition was ensured and the government would issue the document in a few days.


    After that, the neighbors were moving away gradually.


    Ste thought that it would be time for rence to leave here then.


    One morning, when Ste opened her door, she saw rence was leaning against his own door. He


    asked in a sleepy tone, “It’s so early. Where are you going?”


    “For the prenatal examination.” As she spoke, she deliberately sickened him by asking, “Mr. Conrad,


    would you like to go with me?”


    rence said, “Since you are begging me, why not?”


    Ste couldn’t find her tongue.


    She med herself inwardly for having said that.


    rence added, “Wait for me downstairs. I’ll change my clothes.”


    “All right.”


    It was still early. Ste was still sleepy. Yawning, she walked out of the door.


    A mid-aged woman passed by, “Morning, Ste. You got up so early.”


    Ste smiled and said, “Morning. Yeah, I’m having a walk.”


    “Why are you here alone? Where is Mr. Conrad?”


    Ste was a bit embarrassed to answer.


    After Evelyn spread the news, the wholemunity knew the rtionship between rence and


    Ste.


    But it was a good thing - at least Ste wouldn’t be misunderstood by others when rence dragged


    her out.


    Right then, rence showed up behind her.


    The mid-aged woman said with a smile, “That''s what I mean. I won’t hold you up for so long. See you


    later.”


    After the woman was gone, rence looked over at Ste, “Don’ you have breakfast?”

    Ste returned to her senses, “The checkup today requires me to have an empty stomach. Ms.


    Anderson should have cooked. Mr. Conrad, you can...”


    rence strode forward, “Let’s go.”
