Chapter 138
After a moment, Sherry asked, “Well... Are you nning not to meet rence again in the future?”
Ste was silent for a moment. She answered, “No. I won’t meet him again.”
The marriage between rence and her was a mistake. It was time to end this mistakepletely.
“But I always sensed that rence shouldn’t be willing to let you go. Besides, he likes you, doesn’t
he...”
After a long while, Ste smiled, “Even if he likes me, it means nothing. Besides, he’s getting married
soon. How could he have the energy to care about me?”
Sherry heaved a sigh, “That’s right. Those rich and powerful families get married as if they were ying
games. You can’t take it seriously.”
Afraid that people from the Conrad family would find out, Sherry couldn’t stay in Ste’s room for a long
time. Soon, she went downstairs.
Meanwhile, rence had finished the interview.
After Sherry and the editor of SG Jewelry Magazine left, rence asked a servant, “Where is Ste?”
“Ms. Radomil is in her room.”
rence walked towards the garden while saying, “Ask her toe downstairs.”
The servant nodded, “Yes, Mr. rence.”
In Ste’s room.
Ste was looking out of the window in a daze when hearing the knocks on the door.
...
She reluctantly walked to the garden. When seeing rence, she walked over slowly, “Excuse me, Mr.
Conrad. What can I do for you?”
rence sat at a round table and took a sip of the coffee in his mug. He said indifferently, “Isn’t it good
to have a walk?”
In the past few days, Ste also wanted to take a walk outside. However, she knew clearly that except
for Justin, people in the Conrad family all disliked her and disdained her. Hence, she almost stayed in
her room all the time except to take a walk with Justin in the evening.
rence was almost in the same situation as her.
However, he could speak and behave quite naturally and unrestrainedly, which displeased all people in
the Conrad family.
Ste guessed that in this world, only rence could make those people who disliked him uneasy
because of his existence.
Thinking about it, Ste admired rence somehow.
Meanwhile, a servant served a te to them.
Ste sat opposite rence. After the servant left, she continued, “Mr. Conrad, don’t you need to go to
work?”
rence put down the coffee mug, “I’m taking a break.”
“I see.”
It was quite rare that the wretched man talked in such a normal tone. Ste couldn’t get used to it for a
while.
She lowered her head and took a bite of the fruit. Then she said, “Mr. Conrad, thank you.”
rence looked up at her slightly. Stretching his arms on the back of his chair, he said casually, “What
for?”
“Mr. Conrad, thank you for making Sherry meet me today.”
In the past few days, she was quite depressed when staying here. She couldn’t find anyone to talk to.
After talking with Sherry, she became happier.
rence said indifferently, “? I thought she’s named Sofia Cooper.”
Ste was speechless.
It seemed that he wouldn’t forget about this matter.
She wanted to correct herments on him just now. The wretched man was still fond of tricking
others as usual.
In distance, the sunshine was exposed behind theyer of clouds. It fell on and the whole garden
seemed to be gilded.
Under the warm sunshine, Ste was a bit sleepy. She yawned.
Right then, she suddenly felt a kick from the baby in her belly.
Then the little fellow became quite spiritual and started to make a fuss.
Hence, Ste wasn’t sleepy at all. She touched her belly, curling up her lips into a smile.
When she subconsciously looked up, only to find rence was staring at her in silence. His eyes were
deepened.
She whispered, “Mr. Conrad, what are you looking at?”
rence asked instead of answering, “What are youughing about then?”
Ste immediately put away her smile. Pressing her lips, she said, “Mr. Conrad, you wouldn’t want to
know it.”
rence frowned unhappily, “How do you know it if you don’t tell me?”
Ste wasn’t in the mood to argue with him meaninglessly. She said, “The baby moved. The little fellow
is having fun in my belly.”
rence didn’t react.
Ste clicked her tongue secretly. She knew that he wouldn’t want to know.
She nned to go back to her room.
When she was about to stand up, she felt a big palm gently covering her belly.
rence slightly looked down and asked, “Isn’t it moving now?”
Ste was taken aback. Then she returned to her senses and said gently, “It’s not there.”
rence moved his hand, “Here?”
“Nope...” Ste didn’t know how to tell him, so she could only pull his hand and move it down, “Here.”
When rence moved his palm over the ce she mentioned, he felt a kick.
The little fellow seemed not to stop at all, so he felt continuous kicks.
rence asked, “Does it often move like this?”
“Not quite often... Just recently, it moves quite frequently. After making a fuss for a while, it’ll rest when
it’s tired.”
“Usually how long?”
Ste didn’t know as she didn’t check the time.
Without receiving her answer, rence didn’t insist on asking her. He stared at his palm without a
blink.
The little thing in Ste’s belly would turn and move around. He would find a different corner to make a
fuss.
Hence, rence followed the baby’s trace and moved his hand.
He kept the gesture for at least ten minutes.

In the beginning, Ste didn’t feel anything wrong. After all, rence was the father of the baby.
Although he never took the responsibility as the father and he’d rather that the baby didn’te at all,
Ste couldn’t kick him away at this time in this ce under such a circumstance.
After he kept doing it for a long time, Ste started feeling quite uneasy.
Let alone how close they were to each other, his current posture was quite ambiguous.
She couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Conrad, my... my legs are numb.”
Upon hearing it, rence looked up at her, “What?”
Ste said, “I want to stand up.”
rence withdrew his hand finally. He stood up and reached out his hand to her.
Ste was confused.
rence said impatiently, “Aren’t your legs numb?”
Ste finally understood that he wanted to help her up. After a hesitation, she reached out her hand.
As soon as she stood up, she whispered, “Thank you.”
rence withdrew his hand and put it into his trousers pocket, ignoring her.
Ste moved her all fours and saw Phoebee over. Thetter greeted her with a smile, “Good
morning, Ms. Radomil.”
As she spoke, she looked over at rence, “Hi, rence. Here you are as well.”
rence hummed indifferently without speaking anything else.
Ste, however, felt a bit awkward. She also felt fortunate that she made an excuse to stand of.
Otherwise, if Phoebe saw the scene just now when walking over, it would be true...
Ste nodded at Phoebe as greeting, “Hi, Miss Steward. I’m taking off now. Please suit yourselves.”
Phoebe looked at rence and smiled. She said, “Ms. Radomil, you are pregnant, and you need to be
careful. Please let me walk you to your room.”
