Chapter 241
Ste put the baby into the cot, and then nonchntly asked rence to go out, “Mr. Conrad, can you
leave? I want to sleep.”
rence looked up at her and spoke slowly, “It is only called sleeping when two people sleep together.
Otherwise, it is called resting. Are you saying this because you want me to sleep with you?”
rence was speechless.
What kind of nonsense he was saying!
Ste was just about to tell him to get lost immediately when the phone in her bag rang.
She was afraid of waking up the baby and went to answer the call hurriedly.
After seeing the caller ID, Ste nced at the man sitting on the sofa. Then, she walked into the
bathroom.
Before the bathroom door was closed, rence heard her pick up the phone and the word “Emmett”
came out of her mouth softly.
rence put down the book in his hand and pursed his thin lips together.
In the bathroom, Ste pushed the window open again after closing the door. Then, she said, “Is
anything wrong?”
Emmett said, “I heard from Sherry that you went to Aqock. Did you have fun there?”
Ste smiled faintly, “I’m fine here. The pace of life here is a bit slower than at City N. It isfortable
staying here.”
“Hearing you saying like that makes me want to go and have a look too.” Emmett paused and spoke
slowly, stating her intention, “Ste, how long will it be before you… probably return?”
“It should be two or three days.”
Emmett continued, “They’re organizing a ss reunion during the weekend. Are you going?”
Ste said, “I’ll see whether I’m free at that time. But… didn’t we just have a ss reunion not long
ago? Why are we suddenly having another reunion again?”
“Last time there were only a few of us. This time all our ssmates areing. If you are not going,
I’m not going either.”
Hearing his words, Ste was quite stressed. She thought about it for a while before saying, “Then I’ll
ask Sherry first and see what she says.”
Ste wasn’t a woman who liked to mess with many people. Moreover, most of her ssmates were
unfamiliar with one another and they didn’t contact one another after graduation.
It should be the first time in the past few years that arge-scale party like this was held.
She wanted to ask Sherry first, to see if there was any reason why she had to go. If not, she would
probably not go if it was just a simple party.
“Okay.” Emmett added, “Ste, when are youing back. I’ll pick you up from the airport.”
“No need, I…”
Halfway through her sentence, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Before she had time to react, she could hear the wretched man’s voiceing from outside. He was
saying calmly, “Have you finished showering? I’ve been waiting for you for half an hour.”
Ste was speechless and she thought that the wretched man must be doing it on purpose!
On the other end of the phone, Emmett was silent for a while before saying, “Ste, I won’t disturb you
anymore since you are busy. Let me know when you’ve thought about it.”

After hanging up the phone, Ste pulled open the door and stared fiercely at rence. When she
almost spat out some words to curse him, she suddenly remembered that there was a baby inside the
room.
She gritted her teeth and could only suppress her anger.
rence leaned neatly against the door frame, putting his arms in front of his chest, “You’ve been
dawdling inside for so long. I’m waiting to use the bathroom.”
Ste said while gritting her teeth, “Mr. Conrad, don’t you have your own room?”
“The water heater in my room had spoilt.” rence said, dragging Ste out of the bathroom, “Go get
me a change of clothes. It’s okay if you don’t want to take them. I don’t mind…”
Not waiting for him to finish his words, Ste directly pushed him inside and closed the door tightly
again.
She took several deep breaths before allowing herself to calm down gradually.
It was only because she had tugged on his sleeve at twilight three years ago that things hade to
this point.
In the end, she was the one to me for causing this to happen.
As the saying goes, what you sow is what you reap.
Ste went to rence’s room. She searched around but didn’t see any suitcase, so she eventually
opened the wardrobe.
The wretched man had a lot of clothes in the wardrobe. It seemed that he would asionally stay here
for a long time.
Thinking about this, Ste couldn’t help but frown. Could it be that the wretched man hade back to
stay here after he left with herst time?
However, Ste thought about it. Dolores was rence’s mother. She stayed here and it made sense
for rence toe back here from time to time.
She simply took a set of casual clothes from the wardrobe and was about to leave when she turned
around with an expressionless face and looked into the wardrobe. She felt very annoyed at the
moment.
When she got back to her room, she put the clothes in the chair outside the bathroom and knocked on
the door. She said as if she was annoyed, “Mr. Conrad, your clothes are here.”
The sound of water in the bathroom paused for a moment before rence asked calmly, “Do you take
a set of clothes for me?”
Ste was speechless. She clenched her teeth and said, “Yes!”
If it wasn’t for the fear of rence doing something to her, Ste really didn’t want to help him to take
the clothes.
The wretched man was so annoying.
Ste did not want to bother him anymore and went straight to the bed. She took off her down jacket
and wrapped herself tightly with the quilt.
In a short while, the bathroom door was opened and quickly closed then.
Ste could hear the rustling of clothes inside the bathroom even through the thick nket.
After two minutes, the bathroom door was opened again.
rence came out while drying his hair. When he saw the quilt on the bed, he smiled.
Ste said as she was under the quilt to remind him, “Since Mr. Conrad has finished bathing, then
please go back to your room. I want to sleep… and rest!”
rence said, “Don’t you want to take bath? Go and bathe, I’ll help you to take care of him.”
“… I don’t want to bathe!”
“Don’t you think that you are dirty after hanging around outside all day?”
“I know I’m dirty but you still take advantage of me.”
rence said, “If you don’t want to bathe now, I can take advantage of you now.”
Ste sat up violently from the bed, wishing that she could kill him.
rence sat on the sofa and said indifferently, “I’ll leave when youe out.”
“Really? I don’t believe it.”
rence looked at her andughed lightly, “If I really want to do something to you, I do not need to wait
until now.”
“Mr. Conrad, don’t you feel ashamed of yourself when you say that?”
The wretched man said like he was an innocent man.
rence crossed his long and slender legs, “I don’t care if you believe me.”
The wretched man just sat there and did not have the intention to leave the room.
Ste looked at the sleeping baby next to her and finally decided to be determined. She decided not to
take a shower before he left the room. Then, she fell back onto the bed again, staying in the quilt.
rence was speechless.
Just as he was about to say anything, rence said, “Mr. Conrad, no matter what you do, you must
know my limit.”
Although she had been tolerating him today, it didn’t mean that the wretched man could go over her
limit.
rence raised his hand and pinched his nose bone, “Am I so untrustworthy?”
“It’s not a matter of trusting you or not!”
“Then what is it?”
Ste ignored him again.
