Chapter 118
Ste was shocked and frightened by rence’s words ‘Do you like me’. They sounded like ‘when do
you want to die tonight’ and ‘how do you want to die’ in her ears.
She licked her lip that was broken by his teeth and tasted a light smell of alcohol. She then asked, “Mr.
Conrad, are you drunk?”
rence simply stared at her and didn’t reply.
Ste asked tentatively, “I guess you’re. Otherwise, why did you y such a joke with me?”
rence sneered and slowly let go of her. He withdrew his hand and unfastened his necktie, “You think
I’m joking with you?”
“Aren’t you?” Ste made an analysis with a serious expression, “Mr. Conrad, I don’t understand why
you asked me that question. What’s the meaning of it? If my answer is ‘YES’, you will think that I’m
coveting something that I shouldn’t dream of; if my answer is ‘NO’, you may think that I’m really
arrogant. It’s really hard for me to give you a satisfying answer. How’s this? Mr. Conrad, can you tell me
the answer you want to hear. I can give you an answer ording to your preference.”
rence looked at her coldly, “When you were falling in love with Horace, did you attach great
importance to the gains and losses like you do just now.”
“No, I didn’t.”
It was because she had never fallen in love with Horace.
Moreover, she didn’t know what was wrong with this wretched man, so she must try her best to protect
herself.
Ste emphasized again, “Mr. Conrad, nothing has happened between me and Horace. Moreover, he
has engaged now. I hope that you’ll not wrong our rtionship again and again.”
rence asked in a t tone, “Really?”
“Of course.”
“Now that your rtionship is so pure, who inspired you to design the ‘Puppy Love’ Series?”
Ste, “…”
She retorted him, “It is targeted at the public and it’s not for anyone. Mr. Conrad, why are you clinging
to its name? Could it be that you’re also jealous?”
rence slightly pressed his thin lips together, his eyes bing gloomy.

Ste suddenly felt that her question was brusque and it seemed like she was seeking death. When
she was pondering how to relieve the tensed atmosphere, rence’s voice sounded, “Yes. So what?”
She couldn’t read his mood through his voice.
Ste was a bit stunned, “What?”
What did he say just now?
rence continued, “You know what I mean.”
Ste said after a short while of silence, “But Mr. Conrad, you also said that love doesn’t prove
anything.”
“It’s true that it can’t prove anything, but I can let you be my wife and no one is going to rece you.”
“Even so, I still can’t give birth to your child, right?”
rence didn’t reply, but Ste knew his answer very well.
He meant he loved her, but he just wanted their rtionship toe back to what it was like when they
hadn’t divorced.
Her assumption was right. rence was ustomed to her staying by his side. He was ustomed to
her obedience and to the experience that someone would be waiting for him whenever he came back
to Starry Lake Mansion.
The proverb said that custom was a terrifying thing.
Ste asked, “Mr. Conrad, can you tell me, what you are going to do with child in my belly? Can you let
me know whether you want it to live, or to die?”
rence was muted. Several secondster, he replied, “You can deliver it. And I will send it to the
other ce.”
Ste was stunned as she hadn’t expected such an answer. She asked, “The premise is that the
Conrad family doesn’t discover its existence before its birth, right?”
“Absolutely.”
Ste was silent for a long while, “rence, I know you may think that I overvalue myself when you
hear the words that I’m going to say, but…” She choked with sobs, “It’s not only my child, but also
yours. Haven’t you thought of letting ite to this world safe and sound?”
rence’s expression remained unchanged. He said in a t tone, “I told you that I don’t want a child in
two years before.”
He thought that as long as he took good prevention measures, she would not get pregnant. But she
was still pregnant idently.
He would solve the problem from its source rather than letting the child be a puppet since its birth.
Ste sniffed, his eyes getting red, “Then… Can I visit himter?”
“No.”
“But…”
rence said, “Ste, you should tell me when you learned that you’re pregnant. I found it by myself.
Moreover, it’s you who insisting on giving birth the child. So you have to bear the consequence no
matter what it is.”
His voice was so indifferent and it sounded like he was talking about an insignificant matter.
Although sometimes he would also show his cares for her, he was a cold-hearted person in natural.
No one could change this aspect of him.
Seeing that she was muted, rence continued, “I promise you that I will try my best to keep the
Conrad family to learn about this. One more point, Ste, I hope you can remember that I’m your
husband, not your enemy. I’m not a monster either. Please don’t be hostile to me.”
Ste corrected him, “Ex-husband.”
rence sneered, “Then regard me as your enemy. That’s it. None of us gonna live peacefully.”
“…”
It was really a shameful trick that he used the carrot tactic right after using the stick one.
She felt tired to argue with him.
Ste moved her lips and said slowly, “Mr. Conrad, if you don’t have any other matter, I will go to bed.”
After finishing the words, Ste didn’te back to her bedroom without giving a shit to rence’s
reaction.
Thanks to rence and the fuss he made, Ste felt that her stomach was not that full now.
Aftering back to the bedroom, Stey on the bed. She stared nkly at the ceilings and gently
covered her belly with one hand. She was not sleepy now.
It seemed that the little baby in her belly had been woken up and it was now rolling over in her belly.
Ste could even feel its movements in her belly.
If she still couldn’t figure a way out and leave before the child’s birth, she would not be able to see her
child in the rest of her life when rence sent her child away.
Ste knew deep down about what situation rence was facing, yet she still decided to give birth to
the child.
She also worried about that; therefore, she didn’t want her child to have any rtionship with the
members of the Conrad family, including rence.
She couldn’t understand the conflicts in the Conrad family, nor could she pay attention to the interests
of the whole like rence did. She was just an ordinary mother who wished that her child coulde
to this world safely.
But she hadn’t expected that things would still evolve to this point.
What made Ste feel extremely desperate was not the consequence that she had to face when the
Conrad family learned about the existence of the child; instead, it was rence’s indifference.
He had never taken the little baby to his heart from the very beginning, like the death and life of the
child had nothing to do with him.
He was like an indifferent onlooker who would satirize her from time to time.
