Chapter 238
Dolores and Evelyn were out for the entire afternoon.
With constant practice and learning, Ste was now capable enough to take care of a baby.
Baby slept most of the time and yed while awake. She let rence prepare the form when it was
time to feed.
Although that wretched man seemed cold with stiffened face, he didn’t reject it.
The afternoon sunlight fell onto his face, Ste had a sudden feeling that they were a family of three,
everything felt so natural to her…
Noticing her stare, rence asked, “What happened?”
Ste bit her lips and stood up, “Take care of the child, I need a minute.”
She then walked out from the yard without waiting for rence’s response.
After a few minutes walked, she arrived at the pond where rence and she took a boat tourst time.
She sat down under a tree and looked far away, sunken into deep thoughts.
Footsteps were heard from behind after a while, a tall figure stood beside her.
Ste took a deep breath, “Why are you here? Didn’t you have a baby to take care of?”
“He’s asleep, there’s nothing to be taken care of, he can’t run away.” rence stared at her from the
side. “If I’m not here, you will be the one who runs away.”
Ste lowered her eyes, “I just need some fresh air.”
She then looked at rence, “Mr. Conrad, can you please leave me alone, I don’t want to see you
now.”
rence replied coldly, “Since when have you wanted to see me?”
Ste, “…” He was right.
But she felt annoyed now and even more annoyed looking at him.
Ste said sternly, “I’m serious. I just want to be alone now.”
At this moment, the small boat parked beside the pond asked if they wanted to go onboard.
Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
Ste replied and stepped down, she turned to rence, “Don’t follow me, take it as a charity act.”
rence, “…”
The boat went away slowly after Ste boarded. rence looked away once Ste disappeared from
his sight.
Nathan appeared out of nowhere and asked, “Mr. Conrad, should I follow?”
“No," rence replied.
He knew what she was thinking about.
rence turned to Nathan, “Didn''t I ask you to stay inside? What are you doing here?”
“Ms. Anderson and Ms. Beckham are back,” Nathan said.
Nathan answered a call after that, “Mr. Conrad, everything is well arranged, shall we stick to the n?”
rence looked far to the pond and said slowly, “Let them do it, I’m not going.”
“Yes.” Nathan left.
The reason Mr. Conrad came back to City N was to get rid of Annie himself.
He didn’t expect to see Mrs. Conrad here.
It seemed like he changed his mind.
Ste looked in a direction far away without purpose on the pond.
If her baby was still alive, it would be three or four months old by now.
He would be like Evelyn’s grandson, lying in the cradle, smiled whenever he saw her and cried
whenever rence appeared.
Ste wrapped her knees in her arms, deep in thoughts.
After a long while, the sun was setting, with the night falling, the cold breeze became stronger.
Ste shivered in cold for a few times and told the boatman, “Please go back.”
“Aye!” The boatman began chatting with her. “Lady, this is your second visit here, right?”
Ste nodded, “I boarded your boatst time too.”
“Yeah, you looked familiar, I remembered you came with your husband a few months ago. I
rmended him some nice tourist spots around too, how was it? Not bad huh? Our temple of love
here is magical, spouse or couple that visited stay together eternally.”
Ste stunned and was in puzzlement.
That was why rence travelled so far for dinnerst time, this was the reason?
The sun hadpletely set when the boat parked.
Ste was distracted when getting down the boat, her footnded in the air but someone grabbed her
before she fell.
She stood up straight and asked after a few seconds of silence. “You were waiting?”
“Yes, just in case if you jump into the pond, I’ll be nearby for rescue.”
Ste clenched her teeth, refrained herself from stepping on his foot and walked away without turning
back.
rence followed and asked, “Do you feel better?”
“My mood is ruined seeing you.”
“Try to control then or shut your eyes.”
“…”
Ste thought she had a rather strong lung to be able to talk to someone like him and still breathing.
When they arrived at the entrance to Ms. Anderson’s house, rence pulled her hand, “Let’s go
somewhere.”
Ste stopped and said, “The love temple?”
“Sure if you want to.”
Ste gritted her teeth, “I don’t want to!”
rence smiled and pushed her into the ck Maybach that parked on the side.
The car stopped in front of the pier twenty minutester.
A cruise departed slowly from the pier.
Ste turned and looked at rence in puzzlement.
rence held the steering wheel single-handedly with his finger knocking on it lightly, “Annie is on that
cruise.”
“Okay,” Ste answered after a while.
rence stared at the cruise and said, “Ste, I’ll make them pay for everything they owed you.”
Ste was calm, “Even so, the ending remained the same.”
“No one knows the ending until thest minute.”
Ste turned her head, there was hidden meaning behind those words.
But it seemed like he had no intention of telling her.
rence looked away after the cruise went far, he then restarted the car engine.
Ste leaned on the window on the way back, dazing at the lights outside.
After countless sighs, she found the car stopped at the old street near the love temple.
She widened her eyes in disbelief and immediately turned to the wretched man beside, “You…”
“Don’t you wish toe?” rence said casually.
