Chapter 140


    When Joanna was about to add something, Dempsey said unhappily, “All right. Are you done yet?


    Could you let us have lunch in peace?”


    The dining table finally quieted down.


    After lunch, when Dempsey and Joanna were gone, Ste stood up. When she was about to go to her


    room, Phoebe stopped her.


    Phoebe stood in front of her and smiled faintly, “Ms. Radomil, what do you think about the matter I


    mentioned to you in the morning?”


    Ste said, “Miss Steward, thanks a lot for your kindness. Please have fun. I won’t join you.”


    “Ms. Radomil, are you worried that Uncle Dempsey isn’t willing to let you go with us? Or are you


    worried about Annie? I...”


    “Miss Steward,” Ste interrupted her in an indifferent tone, “Getting married is a big event. You need to


    prepare a lot of things. If I go with you, your time would be wasted, Miss Steward.”


    Phoebe paused, looking a bit awkward, “I’m sorry, Ms. Radomil. I didn’t mean to raise that topic at the


    dining table just now. It’s because...”


    “Miss Steward, please. You don’t need to apologize to me. I don’t think you’ve done anything to offend


    me.” Before finishing her words, Ste felt quite helpless. She didn’t know how to exin. She said


    gently, “I just want to take a rest. I should apologize for letting you down, Miss Steward.”


    After finishing her words, she nodded at Phoebe slightly as goodbye and went upstairs.


    Back to her room, Ste stood in front of the window for a while. When she saw the ck car out of the


    Conrads’ Mansion, she sat down on the edge of the bed, exhaling.


    After a while, she heard faint knocks on her door.


    Ste returned to her senses and adjusted her mood. Then she stood up and walked to the door.


    When she opened the door, she saw rence standing there with both hands in his trousers pockets.


    With an aloof look, he gazed at the corridor.


    Ste was shocked.


    She closed the door without any hesitation.


    When the door was about to shut, rence reached out and stopped it. He looked at her quite


    unhappily.


    Ste asked patiently, “Yes? Mr. Conrad, what’s the matter?”


    rence withdrew his hands and put them back in the pockets, “You didn’t eat much for lunch. I asked


    the cook to prepare two dishes. They’ll be delivered to youter.”


    “I see. Thank you, Mr. Conrad.”


    As she spoke, Ste was about to close the door again.


    rence gazed at her coldly.


    Ste didn’t know what he meant.


    He asked, “Is that your response?”


    Ste pressed her lips, “Mr. Conrad, thank you so much for your kindness. I’ll eat properly.”


    She indeed hadn’t had enough for lunch, so she didn’t need to be polite and refuse it.


    rence gazed at her with his ck eyes without a blink. After a few seconds, he said, “Why do you


    blow up on me?”


    Ste was confused.


    She wondered what misled him that she was angry with him.


    She inhaled deeply, “Mr. Conrad, you must have misunderstood. In my opinion, since you are getting


    married, you shouldn’t have shown up at the door of your ex-wife and said something nonsense. If your


    fiancee knew it, she would be quite upset.”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    rence was still expressionless, “Would you be upset or would you be afraid that she’s upset?”


    Ste didn’t think she could continue the conversation with him.


    The wretched man truly annoyed her.


    He was getting married soon and his fiancee also came to his house. How could he still expect to have


    two women at the same time?


    However, this time, Ste found that she had be the potential mistress.


    The more she thought about it, the more annoyed Ste became. She said impatiently, “Mr. Conrad,


    what the heck would you like to talk about? If there’s nothing else, I need to go back and take a nap.”


    rence stared at her and didn’t speak.


    Ste was about to shut the door, but he suddenly uttered a few words, “What would you do if I truly get


    married to Phoebe?”


    After a few seconds of silence, Ste answered, “Mr. Conrad, as long as you won’t ask me for the


    wedding gift, everything would be fine.”


    She emphasized, “I’m not rich.”


    rence fell into the silence.


    Then he sneered and suddenly turned around. After he entered his room, he smashed his door close.


    Ste stood at her door and could even feel the shake from his door.


    She hadn’t closed her door yet, but the wretched man smashed his door close.


    Lying on the bed, Ste felt annoyed and her mind was messy.


    He asked her what she would do. She couldn’t stop him from getting married, could she? Would he


    listen to her if she truly said so?


    The wretched man always spoke ambiguous words to her and misled her. Then he would say that she


    ttered herself and always had daydreams.


    Recalling that he said he noticed that she hadn’t had enough for lunch, Ste had to admit that the


    wretched man was way too good at multi-tasking. On one hand, he was discussing with his fiancee


    about the wedding, and on the other hand, he cared about his ex-wife who hadn’t eaten much for


    lunch.


    Ste couldn’t help but wonder howe such a disgusting wretched man named rence could


    appear in this world.


    ...


    Probably Justin had also heard the shake, so he went to find renceter.


    When rence opened the door, his room was full of smoke from the cigarette.


    Justin operated his wheelchair and entered. With a helpless smile, he asked, “Did you fight with Ste


    again?”


    rence sat on the sofa, poured some water into the ashtray, and stub out the cigarette.


    Meanwhile, he said, “She’s so sharp-tongued. How can I win against her?”


    “Ste has been staying here for a whole week. Although she didn’t tell me, I can feel that she’s quite


    lonely. After you moved back, she looked much better,” said Justin, “But you’ve done something wrong


    as well. Ste is pregnant. Why do you always provoke her?”


    rence pressed his lips slightly, “I didn’t provoke her.”


    He noticed that during lunch, Ste kept lowering her head and looked quite pale. Hence, he wanted to


    exin to her about his wedding.


    However, the ungrateful woman acted as if she had eaten the gunpowder. Her attitude pissed him off.


    Justin added, “No matter what, Ste should be the one in the most difficult situation now. She got your


    baby but you’re getting married to Phoebe. You guys discussed things about your wedding in her


    presence. Whoever in Ste’s shoes wouldn’t feel happy when listening to it.”


    rence kept silent for a moment and said, “That’s what she couldn’t ignore.”


    “But, rence,” Justin continued, “You can talk about a lot of things in a mild and roundabout way. You


    don’t need to talk to her in such a ruthless way.”


    rence said, “But the fact is indeed cruel. If she thought that everything was so beautiful as she


    imagined, she wouldn’t know that something would be more painful than things that she had


    experienced.”


    Justin heaved a sigh in silence, “rence, you’ve been too extreme when thinking about things.


    Actually, the reason that Dad wants to keep Ste’s baby just because he doesn’t want theter


    generation of the Conrad family to wander in the outworld.”


    rence didn’t take it seriously. With a faint smile, he said, “He just wants to create another puppet,


    who could listen to him and be controlled by him only. However, this puppet must have the blood of the


    Conrad family.”


    For the wealthy and rich families like the Conrad family, they look upon their blood inheritance very


    much. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have taken him in although he was an illegitimate child.
