Chapter 179
Out of the concert hall, Ste didn’t want to go home. She kept walking forward along the street.
After walking for a while, she saw a small amusement park in front.
Toddlers aged two or three were running and jumping there with simple and bright smiles.
Ste gradually paused and stopped next to the amusement park, curling up her lips.
A few minutester, she heard a man’s indifferent voice next to her, “What’s so fun of it?”
Ste withdrew her gaze as well as her smile.
She said tly, “Mr. Conrad, you’ll never know what I’m watching.”
With a hand in his trousers pocket, rence retorted, “How do you know I don’t?”
“Mr. Conrad, if you do it, you won’t stand here and make sarcastic remarks.”
She was not in the mood to argue with him, so she turned around and walked away.
Much to her surprise, rence followed her.
He did the same thing when they were in Aqock.
The longer Ste walked, the more annoyed she got. Suddenly, she paused her pace, turned around,
and looked at him coldly.
rence also paused. Gazing at her with his ck eyes, he slightly raised his eyebrows, “What’s up?”
“Mr. Conrad, what are you doing? Why are you following me all the way?”
As far as she knew about the wretched man, Ste had predicted he must reply something like “is this
road in your name? Why can’t I walk here?”
Much to her surprise, rence answered indifferently, “You so pretty. I’m afraid that someone who has
evil intentions will approach you.”
Ste was speechless.
She kept silent for at least half a minute.
She had never expected that she could receive other things than bark from a dog one day.
Wasn’t he was the person with the evil intentions?
For a moment, Ste lost her tongue. She kept walking.
In a few minutes, rence’s voice sounded out behind her back, “Ste, you blushed just now. Were
you shy?”
“No!”
She was frightened.
rence asked again, “Why did you blush then?”
“I feel hot.”
“You don’t dress much. How can you feel hot?”
Ste ignored him.
rence continued, “You dressed up and put up makeup for dating Emmett Carter, didn’t you?”
Ste still ignored him.
“Emmett Carter is chasing after you. Have you discovered it?”
Ste inhaled, “Mr. Conrad, what on earth do you want to tell me?”
“Don’t say yes to him.”
“Why not?” As she spoke, Ste asked in amusement, “Is it because you don’t like it, Mr. Conrad?
What a boring andme excuse!”
rence gazed at her without a blink. After a few seconds, he answered, “Nope.”
“Mr. Conrad, then you don’t have...”
“Because I like you.”
Ste answered extremely calmly, “I see.”
rence pressed his lips and repeated, “Don’t say yes to him.”
Upon hearing it, Ste chuckled, “Mr. Conrad, who do you think you are that I will obey you? I know you
like me, but what’s so happy about it? Or do you expect me to get some firework to celebrate it?”
“If doing so could delight you, I won’t object it.”
Ste didn’t answer.
She had almost forgotten how sharp-tongued the wretched man was.
When she was about to leave, rence said in a steady tone, “I’m quite sorry about what has
happened in the past.”
This was the first time that Ste heard him speak in such a tone and make an apology. Judging from
his attitude, she could tell that he was quite sincere.
At least he didn’t say “it could be my fault” again.
However, she didn’t understand.
Ste said in a t tone, “Mr. Conrad, please don’t mention it. I’m just a scheming woman who tries
every means to achieve my goals. I don’t deserve your apology at all.”
rence said unhappily, “Whether you deserve it or not, I have the final say.”
Ste choked up.
The wretched man was still so shameless even when apologizing.
Ste truly wasn’t in the mood to be tangled with him. She said, “All right. Mr. Conrad, no matter what
your purpose is to apologize to me, I ept it. Anyway, we don’t need to keep in touch. Mr. Conrad,
could you please don’t evere to...”
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly saw ck. The next second, she felt a kiss from the
cold thin lips, making her swallow her unfinished words back.
Ste was startled. When she returned to her senses, she pushed him away with reddish eyes,
“rence Conrad, are you nuts?”
rence licked his thin lips in dissatisfaction. He answered calmly, “You’ve said you epted my
apology.”
“So you ignored other words, didn’t you?”
“Yeah. I don’t want to hear other words.”
Ste believed that the wretched man wasn’t in his right state of mind. She wasn’t in the mood to waste
her time with him. She directly turned around and hailed a taxi on the roadside.
rence stood next to her calmly. He looked at the cars on the road in the distance, “It should be quite
difficult to get a cab now. How about I give you a ride home?”
Ste clenched her fists tightly, ignoring him.
rence continued, “If you are angry about it, you can kiss me in return. I don’t care. I’m not so petty
as you.”
Since she failed to hail a taxi, Ste could only keep walking forward. However, the high heels on her
feet were new, which kept rubbing her feet. She was irritated. Hence, she directly took off the shoes
and smashed them onto the man behind her, “Stop stalking me!”
rence caught the shoes thrown onto his face, frowning, “Ste, it’s only seven degrees today.”
“I don’t give a fuck even it’s minus seven degrees. It’s none of your business if I freeze to death.”
Ste was burning with anger all over. She didn’t feel cold at all and nor could she find any ce to
vent her anger.
After she had taken a few more steps, a hand suddenly was wrapped around her waist. The next
second, she was lifted.
Ste looked at him expressionlessly, “Mr. Conrad, has anyone remark that you are quite cheeky?”
rence answered, “You are the first one.”
“That’s truly my pleasure.”
“You may get more fireworks.”
Ste sneered. After a moment of silence, she continued, “Mr. Conrad, I don’t know what’s in your
mind, but I can ensure you that I will never like you, never ever.”
rence’s expression didn’t change at all, “Don’t jump to the conclusion so fast.”
Ste said, “Mr. Conrad, just think about it. How much you hated, disgusted, and disdained me before
we divorced, you can understand what I feel about you.”
rence said, “It’s different.”

“Why not?”
“Even if I did so... you were still having sex with me on my bed.”
This was the very first time that Ste felt such a strong migraine.
She didn’t want to retort him at all.
rence continued, “Besides, even if I have treated you in that way, I still like you now. Probably you’ll
also like me in the future. Who can predict it?”
Ste asked calmly, “rence Conrad, can you make the babye back to life?”
rence fell into the silence.
Sheughed, “Since you can’t do it, who do you think you are to be so certain?”
The baby was a deep gap between them, which could never be ovee.
