Chapter 270


    Ste simply closed her eyes and just wanted to ignore him.


    The moment the wretched man talked about a certain topic, she knew what was he actually nning.


    Perhaps because the tipsy feeling of the wine was too intense, on the way back, Ste did not drift off


    and was just being dazed. She kept feeling that a tendon inside her head was slightly painful.


    Not knowing how long it took, the car finally stopped.


    Ste slowly opened her eyes and when she was about to open the car door to leave, rence’s voice


    rang out indifferently, “You don’t invite me up to have a rest?”


    “…Does Mr. Conrad still need me to invite.”


    rence raised his eyebrows and did not deny it.


    In the elevator, Ste’s slender eyebrows were furrowed as she gently rubbed her temples.


    rence nced at her, “You can’t drink but you still want to get drunk like others.”


    Ste took a deep breath, who the hell was all this because of?


    The door was opened. The living room was quiet. Sherry should have gone to bed.


    Ste walked to the kitchen and poured herself a ss of water. Just before she was about to drink it,


    the ss in her hand was snatched away.


    rence said, “How can you drink cold water in such weather.”


    Finished speaking, rence took the ss and went into the kitchen.


    Not long after, he came out with boiled water and ced it in front of her. He asked without any signs,


    “How to make a sobering soup.”


    Ste was lying on the table. Probably because she did not expect him to say that, she froze before


    saying, “What?”


    rence said, “Aren’t you not feeling well.”


    Steughed dryly twice, “I’m just a little dizzy. I’ll be fine after sleeping, I don’t need to bother Mr.


    Conrad.”


    rence stared at her expressionlessly and just repeated, “How to do it.”


    “I’m…dizzy, I don’t want to say anything.”


    After Ste finished speaking, she directlyy on the table.


    She had to apud for this excuse she found.


    After rence stood in ce for two seconds, his tongue rested against his teeth and then he turned


    around and went back to the kitchen.


    After a while, Ste heard the sound of banging and crackling in the kitchen. She recalled the previous


    scene in Anqiao Street. She was really afraid that this wretched man would blow up her kitchen.


    Ste raised her head and saw rence’s tall back under the light.


    Inexplicably, she felt a little warmth.


    She supported her chin with one hand and just quietly looked at him like this.


    rence’s suit was just resting on the back of the chair opposite her. The cuffs of his white shirt were


    rolled up and he was holding his phone while looking for the corresponding ingredients.


    Even though Ste was quite far from him, she could feel that he was not fit to do this.


    As Ste watched, she suddenly could not help but think.


    Indeed, every dog had its day.


    In the past, when rence came home while being drunk, she not only was at his mercy but also got a


    series of mockeries despite putting much effort to make sobering soup for him.


    Now, the scene had changed. She should have been happy but for some reason, she could not be


    happy.


    Not knowing how many minutes ticked by, Ste slowly withdrew her gaze, took the ss of warm


    water in front of her and took a sip.


    After half a ss of water entered her stomach, very soon, a steaming bowl of sobering soup was


    ced in front of her.


    rence’s voice was with a little tension, “Try it.”


    Ste looked at the ck water in the bowl as well as the unknown floating objects. She instantly felt


    that she was partially sobered.


    She said, “I think I don’t…need this, I suddenly feel that I’m actually not that ufortable.”


    rence said, “Try it before you say, if you can’t drink it, I’ll pour it.”


    Seeing the wretched man’s manner, Ste felt that if she did not drink, he might pour it directly into her


    mouth.


    Ste’s held the small bowl reluctantly with both hands, slowly ced it by her mouth and took a sip.


    A bitter and fishy taste instantly spread in her mouth.


    Ste could not help but cough vigorously.


    Apparently, she was drinking something made of upas.


    rence pursed his thin lips and then took the bowl from her hand. He patted her back with another


    hand, “Forget it.”


    After Ste coughed for a while, she said weakly without any strength, “Mr. Conrad, it’s better not to


    force yourself to do something you’re not good at next time. Otherwise, you’ll have to see me in the


    hospital next time.”


    Hearing this, rence’s lips curled, “You still want me to make it for you next time?”


    “…Sorry, I have to correct it, there is no next time.”


    “Since you’re so spirited, it does seem that you don’t have any difort anywhere.”


    Ste said impatiently, “Is Mr. Conrad still not leaving?”


    rence’s hand on her back paused and was then withdrawn. He frowned in displeasure while saying,


    “You’re so keen to drive me away?”


    Ste kindly reminded, “It’s already one o’clock in the morning. Even if Mr. Conrad doesn’t want to


    sleep, others have to sleep too.”


    rence’s thin lips were pursed slightly. After a few seconds, he said, “You can sleep with me.”


    Ste was speechless.


    How on earth could he say such brazen words without even blushing a little?


    Ste looked at him quietly, “If Mr. Conrad still doesn’t want to leave, I’m going to call the police.”


    rence looked down at his wristwatch. Indeed, the time waste.


    He took his jacket and went back after walking two steps. He took the phone out of his pants pocket


    and handed it to Ste.


    Ste took it, “Thank…”

    But before her words were uttered entirely, arge warm palm held the back of her neck and brought


    her forward.


    The next second, Ste felt that her lips were bitten by someone nastily.


    Immediately after this, rence’s voice sounded next to her ear, “You’re wee, I’ve received your


    token of appreciation.”


    “…”


    With the sound of the door closing, Stey on the table and her entire person was weak and


    dispirited.


    At this time, Ste heard a few tiny rumblesing from the side. She turned back her head and saw


    that Sherry was lying in the living room with gossip written all over her face.


    Ste’s eyes pulsed, “Aren’t you asleep?”


    Sherry said, “When have you ever seen me go to bed so early. When I heard the sound of the door


    opening, I ran to the door to take a look. Seeing that the wretched man came back together with you, I


    went back to the room and hid. How was going on tonight, did anything exciting happen? Did he and


    Emmett get into a fight?”


    Hearing her mentioning it, Ste only then remembered that she did not know how the situation on


    Emmett’s side was.


    She subconsciously took out her phone and realized that it was already midnight.


    Ste opened her phone and saw several missed calls from Emmett.


    No wonder that wretched man did not give her phone back to her.


    Ste thought about it and eventually sent a message to Emmett, saying that she had arrived home.


    Seeing this, Sherry came over, “After tonight, Emmett should be able to give up, right.”


    Ste pursed her lips, “I owe him.”


    “Hey, in fact, I should be med for this. I shouldn’t blindly fix you guys up.” Sherry sat next to her and


    sighed, “If there was no rence, Emmett would really be a quick and good choice. Unfortunately…


    that’s why the order of matters happening in one’s lifetime is important.”
