Chapter 135
Ste looked at the fish soup in the instion pail and then looked out of the window subconsciously.
Although there was a heavy storm, she calmed down a lot
Not so many people would put the houttuynia cordata in the fish soup. Since she came back from
Anqiao Street, whenever Alisa was making the fish soup, she would put this kind of herb in.
In other words, if she didn’t mistake, the soup should be delivered from Starry Lake Mansion.
She picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. It warmed up her tummy. The baby in her belly
calmed down as well.
After finishing a bowl of fish soup, Ste felt that she was energetic again. Shey on the bed and
suddenly felt that she wasn’t fighting alone anymore.
Looking at her cell phone, she hesitated for a moment. She recalled that rence warned her not to
call him again at midnight, so she texted him: “Mr. Conrad, are you awake?”
rence didn’t reply to her, so she thought he was sleeping.
Ste exhaled. She put away the phone and closed her eyes.
However, before she almost fell asleep, her phone on the nightstand started vibrating.
She opened her eyes and swiped to answer.
On the other end of the line, rence’s voice was like being soaked in the cold rain. He said coldly,
“What’s the matter?”
Ste bit her lower lip. After a moment of silence, she said, “Mr. Conrad, I’m terribly sorry.”
“Can your apology change anything?”
“No.”
“Then does it make any sense?”
Ste pinched her phone, her knuckles going white, “Mr. Conrad, I know you won’t forgive me. Since it
has already happened, no matter what I said, it couldn’t be changed at all. Mr. Conrad, if you would
vent your anger by scolding me, please go ahead. I’ll never retort.”
rence was speechless.
He said coldly, “Do you think I’m quite idle? Do you think I call you sote at night just for scolding
you?”
Ste asked in a low voice, “Or what?”
She guessed that rence was so pissed by her that he couldn’t fall asleep tonight, so he called her.
rence sneered. He asked rudely, “Do you have anything? If not, I’ll hang up.”
“What?” For a moment, Ste didn’t return to her senses. After a pause, she said, “Mr. Conrad, please
send my thanks to Alisa for the fish soup she made.”
“Anything else?”
After a moment of silence, Ste continued, “I know I’ve broken the agreement between us, but... I’m
trapped in the Conrads’ Mansion, and I’ll try my best to get out of here. I would never let the baby in my
belly be your trouble. Mr. Conrad, I want to beg you...”
rence was impatient, “Is that all that you want to say?”
“I know I’m quite shameless to make another request, but it’s still a life. I don’t want to omit the baby’s
right toe over to this world...”
Upon hearing her sobbed and hoarse voice, rence pressed his thin lips and said, “Ste, did I say
anything? Why are you directing and acting the show suddenly?”
Ste said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it...”
“Save it. I’m going to bed now.”
“Okay, Mr. Conrad. Good night.”
After finishing her words, Ste hung up the phone directly.
rence listened to the beeps on the phone and suddenly sneered.
...
Ste stayed in the Conrads’ Mansion for a week. Every day, she would go downstairs for meals on
time. In the evening, she would have a walk with Justin in the garden. She nned to ask the servant
for some fruits on the second day when moved in, but before she said anything, the servant would
send her a midnight snack at ten o’clock every evening.
What surprised her the most was that Annie, who disliked her the most, was extremely quiet in the past
few days. Even they asionally encountered each other, she didn’t overreact and take any action
against Ste.
Hence, the whole mansion was so depressing as a jail.
Every day when Justin took her to the garden, it felt like letting the jailbird out for exercise.
When Ste thought that she would spend every day in such an endless and boring way, rence
suddenly decided to move back without informing anyone ahead.
Since he had taken over Conrad Group, he didn’t stay a single night in the Conrads’ Mansion.
Annie was quite worried because Dempsey had known about Ste’s pregnancy, so she didn’t make
trouble for Ste. As soon as she heard that rence had moved back, she panicked. Tugging
Joanna’s sleeve, she asked, “Aunt Joanna, what should I do?”
Joanna didn’t take it seriously. She asked calmly, “Why are you so worried? Haven’t you nned
everything?”
“But... But I...”
“rence is quite busy now. He wouldn’t look into the matter who had exposed the news. By then, you
just refuse to admit it. What can he do to you?”
Joanna put down the teacup in her hand and added, “Do you think he moved back for Ste Radomil?”
Annie was confused, “If not, then why did rence...”
“Ste is in your uncle’s hands now. The baby in her belly was relevant to the future of Conrad Group.
How could he leave her alone here and ignore her?”
Annie whispered, “Aunt Joann, didn’t you say that rence wouldn’t let Ste give birth to that child?”
Joanna smiled, “Annie, don’t do things in a hurry. This matter has just begun.”
In the garden.
Justin was called away by a servant. Ste was sitting on the bench alone, watching the sun go down
and the evening glory fade.
When it waspletely dark, she returned to her senses. When she was about to leave, a figure sat
down next to her.
She heard a man’s indifferent voice, “It seems that you adapted the life here quite well.”
Ste was silent.
rence cast her a nce, “You also enjoyed the meals.”
She knew that the wretched man couldn’t speak nicely.
In the past few days, Ste’s belly started to be bigger and bigger. She put on some weight and
her face became rounder.
She was now in ate pregnancy, so it was normal for her to gain some weight.
Ste didn’t n to talk to this mean man, but she still wanted to ask him for help, so she tolerant it,
“Mr. Conrad, why are you here?”
rence looked at the distance and answered tly, “Am I forbidden toe here?”
Ste quieted down for a while and then she burst intoughter.
Hearing herughter, rence turned around, “What’s funny?”
“Nothing.”
Ste looked at the streetmps in front. She just felt that the depression and upset that kept surging in
her heart in the past few days suddenly faded.
She didn’t need to be careful and be silent, and nor did she need to obey all the rules and let others
disdain her.
One could realize how good his or her original life was only after experienced a worse life.
Although rence could never talk nicely, in the Conrad’s Mansion, which could utterly destroy
someone, he was like a thorn out of thin air. He made them hate him to the core and want to get rid of
him, but they could only end up with injured bloody hands.
rence snorted. He wasn’t in the mood to keep asking.
Under the night breeze, Ste felt chilly. She stood up and said “Mr. Conrad, I’m going back to my
room. Please excuse me.”N?velDrama.Org content rights.
