Chapter 103


    In the evening…


    When Ste was packing up her things in the room, she heard a string of gentle knocking sounds on


    the door, “Ste, are you sleeping?”


    Ste opened the door, “Ms. Anderson.”


    Dolores saw the luggage case and asked, “I heard that re wille back tomorrow, are you going


    back with him?”


    Ste nodded her head, “I have toe back to City N to deal with something.”


    Dolores handed a bag to her, “Here are some small weavings I made recently. Take them with you.


    Maybe you will use them one day.”

    “Thank you, Ms. Anderson.” Ste took the bag and asked, “Ms. Anderson, aren’t you going back to


    City N again?”


    Dolores curled her lips into a light smile, “I will note back again. There’re no memorable memories


    for me there.”


    “Then rence…”


    “It depends on himself. If he has time, he cane here to visit me. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have


    time. After all, I have never assumed the responsibilities that a mother should take.”


    Ste didn’t know what she should say at the moment. She could only nod her head silently.


    Several secondster, Dolores continued, “Ste, I don’t know what happened between you and re


    and I don’t have the qualification toment on the things between you two. But… re, my kid, it’s


    true that sometimes his temper is annoying. But he has always been firm in speech but soft in heart. I


    learned from my observation during this period of time that indeed he cares about you a lot. It’s just that


    he doesn’t know how to express his feelings.”


    Even if Dolores didn’t tell her about this, Ste could still feel by herself that rence was just hard in


    speech.


    Moreover, he grew up in the Conrad family, a ce where was full of intrigues, hence he was


    ustomed to think that all people were evil and would weigh up all the pros and cons to the greatest


    extend.


    It was because Ste was so clear of these that she wanted to keep away from rence as far as


    possible to prevent being involved in the power struggle between him and the Conrad family.


    Nevertheless…


    Ste looked down at her belly. She roughly knew why rence didn’t expect this child’s birth.


    But she was a mother who had once lost a child and now she was pregnant again. She thought this


    was a blessing from the god and she would by no means deprive its chance toe to this world.


    After a long while, Ste spoke, “Ms. Anderson, I and rence are unmatched in many aspects. The


    reason why we got married before is that…”


    Ste suddenly chuckled, “Anyway, I’m the one to be med and I should bear the consequences.”


    Dolores sighed in her heart. She didn’t say anything else. Before leaving, she told Ste to take good


    care of herself and feel free to call her if she had any problems.


    When Ste was about to close the door, she saw rence standing not far away and staring at her


    coldly.


    “…”


    She twitched her mouth corners, “Mr. Conrad.”


    With one hand in his pocket, rence said in an extremely indifferent voice, “Tell me, what


    consequences did you bear?”


    ‘I bear your cynicism and harsh words over the past three years, you wretched man!’ Ste thought to


    herself.


    She replied honestly, “Divorce is the consequence that I ought to bear.”


    “Ste, if you think that divorce means nothing has happened, I have to say that your thought is really


    simple and na?ve.”


    “I know this will possibly not be able to recover any damage. Mr. Conrad, maybe in your eyes, I’m


    having some other intentions, but this is the only thing that I can do.”


    “If you really n to bear the consequences, you should think over what you should do when then


    Conrad family learns about your pregnancy.”


    rence turned around and came back to his bedroom after finishing the words.


    Ste was frozen on the ground. She finally realized that rence’s acquiescence of the child’s


    delivery had a premise – the Conrad family hadn’t learned about her pregnancy.


    This meant that once the Conrad family found out her pregnancy, rence would not give her any


    chance.


    Ste only came to her own senses after a long while. She felt her fingers icy-cold.


    Sitting by the bedside, Ste looked out of the window in confusion.


    Could she really protect her child? Could she prevent the Conrad family from learning about its


    existence and deliver it safe and sound?


    Ste pondered for a while. Actually, she didn’t have too many contacts with the Conrad family. Except


    for Annie Conrad, she barely had any interactions with the other members of the Conrad family.


    Although she came into contact with Justin Conrad for some work reasons, she thought that Justin


    would not order customized jewelry for his mother all the time.


    Therefore, theoretically, nothing bad would happen as long as she could evade that crazy Annie.


    Ste heaved a sigh of relief and continued packing up her things. She put the small stockings and


    small clothes weaved by Dolores into her luggage case.


    Although she hadforted herself just now, Ste still felt inexplicably worried.


    She then saw the pile of baby products in her room. Hesitating for a long while, she finally walked out


    of the room and knocked at the door of rence’s bedroom. She kept down her voice and asked, “Mr.


    Conrad, are you sleeping?”


    The door was opened after two minutes and it seemed like rence was woken up by Ste. With


    impatience written all over his face, he tried hard suppress his temper, “Ste, I remember that I told


    you before. Dare you to bother me in the midnight…”


    Ste retorted him in a low voice, “You didn’t allow me to call you in the midnight, but you didn’t say


    that I can’te to find you in the midnight.”


    rence was rendered speechless.


    Ignoring his bad attitude, Ste continued, “It’s about the child. Mr. Conrad, I want to talk with you.”


    “Spill the beans.”


    “I promise that I will try my best to evade meeting members of the Conrad family no matter whether I’m


    going. But… But my ability is limited, so Mr. Conrad, I want to ask for your help. You must have


    approaches to prevent them from finding out my pregnancy.”


    rence looked at her calmly, “Why should I help you.”


    Ste pressed her lips together, “Mr. Conrad, you bought many baby products today. You…”


    “It’s just a random thought and this can’t prove anything.”


    Ste had expected this answer from him.


    After pondering for a few seconds, she gently tugged his sleeve, “I beg you.”


    rence fixed his ck eyes on her. With his Adam’s apple popping up and down, he quickly shifted


    his gaze, “I don’t see any sincerity from you.”


    “…”


    Ste pouted and withdrew her hand, “Then Mr. Conrad, what do you want me to do?”


    “Move back to Starry Lake Mansion, I can help you to keep it a secret from the Conrad family. But if


    they find it out when you’re outside the mansion, it will have nothing to do with me.”


    Ste hadn’t expected that his requirement would be so simple and easy. Comparing to the conditions


    that were so demanding and deprived her rights as a human being, this requirement was much better.


    Moreover, moving back to Starry Lake Mansion meant that she was much safer to some extent.


    After that, she would onlymute from herpany and the mansion and she thought there would


    not be any ident.


    Seeing that Ste still remained silent, rence looked dissatisfied.


    This woman still didn’t know what was good for her, just as she did in the past.


    When he was about to say something, Ste said in a soft voice, “Dealt. I will move back.”
