Chapter 269
Ste opened the car door and stumbled when she got out of the car. She managed to stand still by
holding the door.
She said weakly without strength, “Is Mr. Conrad thinking about which location is the most appropriate
to kill and bury a corpse.”
rence was speechless.
He dusted off his cigarette ash and turned his head to look at her, “I originally wanted to give you a gift
but it seems like you don’t need it.”
Ste said, “If you send me home, it will be the best gift for me.”
Finally, she added two words, “Thank you.”
rence said, “But since you and Emmett went home together, I don’t intend to give you the gift
anymore.”
“Okay.”
Ste replied perfunctorily. Before she wanted to get in the car, the wretched man’s unhurried voice
rang out again, “Evelyn’s son lives here.”
Hearing this, Ste’s movements stopped instantaneously.
Her reaction waspletely expected by rence.
He stubbed out the cigarette, “It looks like you really don’t need it, let’s go then.”
Ste was speechless.
She suddenly said, “Hold on.”
rence looked at her and raised his eyebrows without a trace.
Ste said seriously, “Mr. Conrad drank wine just now, right. You can’t drive. Why don’t we find a ce
to sit and wait for Mr. Lance toe back.”
rence’s arm casually rested on the car. He turned his head and raised his chin at her.
Ste looked in the direction he was looking at and saw that Nathan was smiling at her.
“…”
She quickly found another excuse, “I’m a little drunk. I want to get some air. Mr. Conrad, go back
yourself, just give me back my phone.”
“I don’t see which part of you is drunk.”
Ste said seriously, “I’m always like this when I’m drunk, others can’t tell.”
rence apparently remembered something. His thin lips curled and there was an obvious smile in his
eyes, “Is that so.”
“Of course!”
rence did not intend to beat around the bush with her, “If you beg me, I’ll consider taking you up.”
Ste knew the wretched man would be waiting for her here.
She hesitated for a moment without saying anything.
rence was not in a hurry. He slowly waited for her to consider.
Eventually, Ste gave up and said directly, “Please.”
“Verbal words don’t count.”
Ste said, “Give me back my phone then, Mr. Conrad, I’ll send you a red pocket.”
“Do Ick your red packet?”
“I think Mr. Conrad should just directly say what you want.”
rence said slowly, “Come.”
Ste looked at him cautiously and stopped after taking two steps.
Amused, rence said, “Why are you standing so far away from me,e to me.”
Ste deliberated for a moment. She knew that she would fall into his trap if she continued to go
forward. She reacted in time, “Forget it, I’m not going.”
As she spoke, when she turned around and wanted to leave, her wrist was gently sped and yanked
hard.
The next second, she fell into his arms.
rence said, “I’ve told you toe over by yourself but you force me to do it.”
“You actually still cane out with a good reason.”
rence’s hand wrapped around her waist. Ste struggled several times but their bodies got closer
and closer.
Since the situation hade to this point, she simply gave up and said, “Can Mr. Conrad tell me your
conditions now?”
“Ste, it’s New Year today.”
“I know, does Mr. Conrad really think that I’m drunk?”
rence lowered his eyes to stare at her, “Are you still angry?”
Without even needing to think, Ste knew he was referring to the matter that he asked people to send
flowers to Emmett’s house. She barely smiled and said, “Is there any use for me to be angry, will Mr.
Conrad think about your own mistake.”
“No.”
“Then why does Mr. Conrad say these words.”
“I just think that on a day like today, no matter what I do, you should forgive me.”
Being quite surprised, Steughed and said, “Does Mr. Conrad still need my forgiveness, isn’t Mr.
Conrad always doing what you want ording to your own preferences without caring what others
think…”
“Shut up.”
Ste also got irritated, “Is this your attitude to beg my forgiveness?”
rence asked, “Who is actually the one that is begging others’ forgiveness now?”
Ste said, “Oh.”
She got carried away and got the wrong direction.
She said, “So what, what exactly does Mr. Conrad want to say.”
rence said, “It’s not good to be angry at such a festive period.”
Ste kept silent. These words were reasonable.
Slightly annoyed, she said, “Okay, fine, then can Mr. Conrad take me up now?”
“You’re not angry anymore?”
“Yes!”
After Ste’s words were uttered, she suddenly felt darkness in front of her eyes, followed by thin lips
that came down.
Then, the sounds of fireworks exploding sounded in the distance.
Before she had time to react, rence let her go and his low voice sounded next to her ears, “Happy
New Year.”
Ste was a bit stunned. It was ten o’clock when her phone was taken away by rence. She did not
expect that it was surprisingly already twelve o’clock.
A few secondster, Ste regained her presence of mind and looked at him expressionlessly, “Does
Mr. Conrad think that it is enough to let me ignore your rogue behaviour by just saying happy new
year.”
rence raised his eyebrows, “Didn’t you say you’re not angry anymore.”
Ste understood. The reason why the wretched man said so many words was to foreshadow this. He
totally did not feel that it was not right for him to do the previous things and he did not have the
intention to apologize at all.
Ste took a deep breath and calmed her emotions. Sheforted herself that the new year hade
so there was no need for her to be angry aboutst year’s events.
She said, “Then can we go up now.”
“No.”
Ste’s anger that was just contained instantly got ignited. The wretched man not only took advantage
of her but was actually lying to her as well!
Just before Ste could not help but curse him, rence said, “It’s already twelve o’clock, you don’t
want to sleep but others have to sleep too.”
Ste was speechless.
So, the reason why he brought her over here was to do that thing just now.
rence added, “I’ll bring you over here tomorrow again.”
On the way back, Ste leaned against the car window and looked out. The light cast by the streetlights
fell on her face alternatingly.
After a while, she withdrew her gaze and spoke without any sign, “Mr. Conrad, why did you take me
there.”
rence’s face remained unchanged and he said indifferently, “Don’t you want to see him.”
“I also want to see Horace but howe Mr. Conrad doesn’t take me there.”
rence looked askance at her and her eyes looked cold.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
Ste grinned, “I’m just kidding, just kidding.”
Ste murmured again, “Sometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I know what
Mr. Conrad means, you don’t need tofort me through such an approach, I’ve long epted the
reality.”
“What is reality.”
“The reality is that what is lost can never be recovered.”
rence said, “But what if, it is never lost.”
Ste looked at him, “I’ve said that I hope Mr. Conrad don’t say such ambiguous words and give me
unwarranted hope.”
“Existence of hope relies on how you create it yourself and regarding this, I can help you.”
