Chapter 234
Ste answered, “Fine, whatever.”
Then she added, “Please give me a room with tight security. If anyone tries to break in my room, I’ll call
the police.”
The manager, “….”
He gave another secret nce at rence. After got rence’s agreement, he booked a room for
Ste and said, “Lady, I’ll take you to your room.”
Ste smiled, “Don’t bother. I got someone to lead the way.”
She turned round and walked towards to elevator as soon as she finished.
rence put his hands in his pockets and followed Ste slowly.
After entering the elevator, rence pressed the button for the top floor.
Nathan didn’te with them, so they were alone in the elevator.
Ste stood at one side in silence, looking around.
rence nced at her and moved his long legs forward. He opened his mouth trying to say
something, but Ste stepped backward immediately. She leaned close against the wall with her hands
crossed in front of her chest, “Mr. Conrad, please behave yourself. There is a camera here.”
rence grabbed her hat to take her close to him, “If I really want to do something to you, you think
you can threat me with the camera?”
“Mr. Conrad, please mind yournguage. Don’t show any disrespect for thew. Whatever you are
saying is recorded by the camera.”
rence burst intough, “Ste, it’s a pity that you didn’t studyw.”
“It proves that an excellent person could stand out in any industry.”
“If you participate in the talk show, you’ll definitely be the champion.”
Ste, “….”
It sounded a good idea.
rence let her go and then said tly, “What are you doing here?”
“There is no rule indicating that Mr. Conrad coulde but I couldn’t.”
rence said, “Ie for business.”
“I ….” Come for a trip.
Ste coughed, touching her nose, and didn’t finish her sentence.
At this moment, the elevator opened.
Walking out of the elevator, Ste walked ahead in silence.
Ste took a few steps when she heard the wretched man’s voice, “Wrong direction. This way.”
Ste took a deep breath, stopped for a few seconds and then turned around quickly.
When she found the correspondent room with the key card, she opened it immediately and mmed
the door.
She finished a series of actions without any letup as if someone would force entry to her room.
rence stood in front of her room and licked his thin lips.
Soon, Nathan and the manager came, and thetter opened the room next door.
After they entered the room, rence said emotionlessly, “Ste woulde to the Anqiao Street this
time. Take care of it.”
Nathan asked tentatively, “Now that Mrs. Conrad is here, Mr. Conrad doesn’t want to tell her the truth?”
rence answered, “At this point, it does no good to tell her. Women are always emotional which gets
a lot of trouble.”
Once Ste knew the existence of the child, she wouldn’t help but visiting him often.
The Conrad family would have doubts if she visited frequently.
“Yes.”
rence only hoped that the bad news wouldete this time.
When Nathan left, rence stood in front of the French window and called Dolores.
When Dolores knew that the kid would be given away, she let out a quiet sigh, “re, you’d better let
Ste meet him. After all, he is her son. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything.”
rence agreed after a few seconds, “Fine.”
He hung up, threw the phone on the sofa and then walked into the bathroom.
The doorbell rang when he came out from the bathroom.
He put down the towel in his hand and walked slowly to the door. He opened the door but to find it was
Ste.
Ste was surprised to see rence in such conditions too.
She didn’t expect that the wretched man finished shower so early. The bathrobe was tied around his
waist loosely as if it would open in any seconds.
Ste’s eyelids throbbed in a sudden. She looked away unconsciously, avoiding to look at him.
Noticing her subtle bodynguage, rence curved his mouth, crossing his hands in front of his chest
to lean against the door frame, and then opened his mouth casually, “I don’t think there is any noise
disturbing you this time.”
Ste looked up and stared at him, “Mr. Conrad is a thief crying ‘Stop thief’?”
“Even if I am a thief, I am a heart stealer.”
Ste, “….”
She almost threw up what she atest night.
Shouldn’t the wretched man feel embarrassed saying that?
Before Ste answered, rence held her wrist and pulled her into his room.
“re….”
rence interrupted her, “Youe to catch up with me at the door?”
As he finished, he came to the liquor cab. He took a bottle of Whiskey and two sses and then
came to sit on the sofa.
Ste followed up after hesitation and said sincerely, “Mr. Conrad, I apologize for my rudeness earlier.”
rence crossed his long legs and asked slowly, “Earlier?”
Ste took a slight breath and exined, “In the toilet, I shouldn’t have pped you so hard.”
She finished but again murmured, “But it was you that pulled me there, and it was the male toilet.”
rence ced his arms horizontally on the back of the sofa andughed, “You think I have any other
choice under that circumstance?”
“There was a female toilet. Why didn’t you take me into it?”
“….” rence rubbed his nose, “Ste, if I took you into the female toilet, I would have been a true
pervert.”
“You are.”
rence looked up slowly at her, “So youe again to scold me because you didn’t vent your anger
with the p?”
Not exactly.
Ste took out her hand behind her back and handed an ice pack to rence, “Here, I got it from the
staff.”
rence didn’t take it but asked, “What’s it?”
rence answered, “Put it on your face and you’ll recover tomorrow.”
She only pped him slightly as a warn, but she didn’t expect there would be marks left on his face.
Understanding what Ste meant, rence leaned backward and said slowly in a low voice, “You
should be responsible for what you have done.”
“….”
The wretched man pushed his luck.
Ste threw the ice pack into his arms, “Take it or throw it.”
Ste turned round to leave, but rence grasped her wrist and pulled her down.
Ste was off-guard and fell into his embrace directly.
All of a sudden, she felt the scene was somehow familiar to her.

rence interrupted her thought by putting back the ice pack into her hand, “You started this, you’ll
finish it. Don’t leave it half way.”
Ste pped his hand around her waist heavily, “Let go.”
rence raised his eyebrows and raised his hands in the air, showing that he wouldn’t touch her
again.
