Chapter 155


    Yet Channing kept a straight face and said, “She can’t eat spicy food after recovery.” He exposed their


    lies at once. Both Ste and Sherry became speechless. Sherry turned around and whispered, “I think


    your brother must have worked for CIA before, nothing would escape from his eyes.” Ste nodded. “I


    think so too.”


    Channing ignored them and walked straight out when the lift door opened. He was not angry that they


    had kept the truth from him though, he knew Ste was worried that he would look for rence when


    he knew that, and he indeed could not do anything to him with his current capability. Yet it turned out he


    was not informed of such a huge matter at all. He did not even have the courage to ask Ste how the


    child in her womb had be now.


    Sherry had been ordering food online when she lived there and there were not many vegetables and


    fruits at home. After ncing at the fridge, Channing turned around and went out. Sherry only heaved a


    sigh of relief after the door was closed. She felt she was revived once again. “Chan has an exact same


    temper as you, how scary.” Ste was baffled as she thought she was gentle.


    Sherry could not help but ask after a while, “Could it be he’s going to deal with rence with that


    aggressive look?” Ste replied, “He won’t.” She knew Channing, he was not an impetuous person that


    acted without thinking of the consequence. Sherry patted her chest. “Good to hear that.”


    Not long after that, Channing carried two big bags of fresh fruits and vegetables and returned. He then


    headed straight into the kitchen. Sherry peeled an orange and handed half of the orange to Ste. She


    sighed. “It feels so good to have a younger brother. If I have such a handsome and caring brother, I


    won’t get myself a boyfriend until I die. Hey, do you think Chan’s interested in elder or younger female?


    I wonder whether I have the…hey!”


    Ste shoved the orange into her mouth and let out an aggrieved smile. “Come on, you’ve watched him


    grow up since he’s little, how could you actually have thoughts on him?” Sherry engulfed the orange


    and smacked her lips. “It doesn’t hurt to dream though.” Ste was speechless.


    Sherry then continued after a while, “Hey, didn’t I sell my house, I don’t want to buy another house now,


    and I n to start my own business and open a workshop. Let’s do it together, how does that sound?”


    Ste was startled. “Me?”


    “Yeah, let’s open a workshop. You do the jewelry’s design and I’ll do the photography and advertising


    part. If we encounter any rich client, we could even give her a set of personalized pictures for free.”


    Ste thought for a while and said, “Let me think about it.”


    “Sure, take your time.” Sherry knew what she was concerned of. After all, it was the SG Jewelry


    Magazine which provided her tform and chance when she returned to the career.


    The afternoon time soon passed by. Channing was making soup and the smell spread to the living


    room with the wind. Sherry held a package of potato chips and came. She stood at the entrance of the


    kitchen and smacked her lips. “Chan, if you ever have a girlfriend in the future, please don’t forget me


    and your sister, ande home to visit us.”


    “…”


    During mealtime, since Ste could not drink alcohol, and it was also mainly because of Channing


    forbidding her to do so, Sherry drank hers. Before they finished their meal, Sherry had ced one of


    her legs on the chair and started to curse rence. Ste rubbed her temples and smiled ndly. She


    said to Channing, “You can go home first, I’ll take care of the rest.” Channing looked at Sherry who was


    singing with chopsticks and asked, “Could you really handle it?”


    “It’s fine, it’s not the first time she goes drunk already,” Ste said. “If you don’t leave now, the hostel is


    gonna close.” Channing looked down at his wristwatch. There was indeed not much time left. He then


    said, “I’lle visit you during weekend, do have a rest.”


    “Okay. Do be careful on your way back.”


    After Channing left, Ste held Sherry to her bed and covered her with a nket. She then turned


    around to clear the table. After finishing clearing up everything, she opened her luggage and took her


    things out one at a time. Her eyes zed over at length when she saw the baby clothes. She only


    regained her mind when she heard Sherry vomiting behind her. She walked towards the toilet and


    patted her shoulder. “I told you not to drink so much.”


    Sherry clung to the toilet bowl, puffed and turned around. “I was happy about it.” She then opened her


    eyes with difficulty and shook her fingers. “Ste, let’s start all over again. We should start afresh. I’ll


    forget that son of a bitch, and you’ll forget that bastard! From now onwards, we’ll date yboys, and


    flirt with tons of men. We’ll see who’s bad then!”


    “…” Ste did not expect that Sherry could be that talkative when she was drunk. “Alright, back to bed.”


    Sherry hugged her and not knowing why, she began to cry. “I mean it, Ste. Please date someone


    properly. rence Conrad is not worth it. Do you know how perfect it was when you’re with Horace?


    I’m even you two’s biggest fan. I can’t believe both of you end up like that…”


    Ste did not know whether to cry or to smile, she only patted her back. “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you.


    I’ll date someone tomorrow.”


    “That’s a promise then, don’t you regret,” Sherry said with teary eyes. “The fastest way to forget a


    rtionship is to quickly start a new one. I have to get myself together too!”


    Ste finally got Sherry back to her bed once again after wasting much effort. Sitting at the edge of the


    bed, Ste was mncholic and she thought it was true, people always needed to start over. It was


    pointless to keep on dwelling on the past anyway. What she faced now was actually within her


    expectation, it was just that she had been dreaming of the surprise that did not belong to her.


    Ste exhaled and patted her face to let her looked a bit healthier. Since she managed to survive after


    going through such a disaster, she should at least look like she was living.


    …


    Meanwhile, in Aqock City…


    Nathan came over with a phone after the meeting ended. “Mr. Conrad, Miss Steward called.” After


    finished, he then added with a soft voice, “It’s been the twenty third time today.” rence pinched the


    bridge of his nose and took it over with an expressionless face. The moment the call was picked up,


    Phoebe’s voice was heard. “Where are you, rence?”

    “Do I have to inform you my whereabouts?”


    Phoebe was speechless and she only said after being silent for a while, “I just want to tell you, our


    wedding is gonna be one weekter, your family can’t contact you, and they keep on asking me…”


    rence was expressionless and he replied, “Cancel the wedding then.”


    “Why?”
