Chapter 288
At three o’clock in the early morning, when Ste was still in sleep, she suddenly heard a string of
vibration from the phone on the bedside table.
She thought it was her rm clock, so she picked up her phone and randomly closed it. She put her
phone on the bed and then fell asleep again.
But after a short while, the phone vibrated again. Ste was finally woken up. With a pair of drowsy
eyes, she grabbed her phone and took a nce at the screen. She then found that it was not the rm
clock, instead, it was a call from that wretched man.
Ste received the call, put the phone near her ear and asked in a husky voice, “Hello?”
rence’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone, “Are you sleeping?”
With her eyes closed, Ste even felt it annoying to speak, “It’s already three o’clock? What should I do
if I’m not sleeping? Mr. Conrad, it’s in the midnight now. What’re you doing?”
“I just got off the ne.”
Ste, “…”
She instantly became sober. God, she almost forgot that he woulde back from abroad today.
Having not received any reply from the other end of the phone, rence asked, “Do you fall asleep
again?”
“Not yet.” Ste slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, “Then Mr. Conrad, have you
arrived home?”
“I’m now at the downstairs. Go downstairs.”
Ste was stunned. She came to her own sense after a short while and realized that he meant he was
at the downstairs of her how.
Ste ended the call, wore a coat and walked out of the house.
Although it was already spring, it was still cold in the evening. When the cold breezes flowed over her
face, she felt it cold.
When Ste went downstairs, she saw a tall man leaning against a car. He looked so handsome yet
indifferent.
Ever since having a meal with himst time, Ste had never seen him again.
She gently heaved a sigh and slowly walked towards him.
She stood in front of rence and asked, “It’s in the midnight? Why don’t you go home ande to
find me instead?”
rence inexplicably raised his brows. He reached out, poured her into his arms and then whispered
in her ear, “I want to see you right away.”
Ste felt her heartbeat elerating. She only replied after several seconds, “You can see me
tomorrow, oh, exactly today. You can see me several hourster.”
rence didn’t say anything. He simply hugged her tightly.
After a long while, Ste asked, “You know about it, right?”
“What should I know?”
“I…”
Ste immediately shut up.
If he didn’t know about it, why did she tell him proactively?
Ste said in a dejected voice, “Nothing.”
rence gently patted her back, “Then what do you want to say to me?”
“Nothing.”
“Oh,” Ste paused and then quickly added, “Mr. Conrad, I want to go back to sleep, can you let go of
me now?”
rence, “…”
He said in a displeased tone,” You should tell me that you miss me. I don’t want any other answer
except for this.”
“Please ask it again.”
“Never mind. You’re so insincere.”
Ste twitched her mouth corners, “If I’m not sincere, I would not have gone out in the midnight
regardless of the cold breezes.”
rence tightened the grip on her waist, “Do you feel cold?”
“Don’t hug me so tightly, I feel breathless.”
rence looked down at her and then lowered his head andnded a kiss on her lips. When Ste was
caught out of the guard, he stuck his tongue into her mouth and flirted with hers.
It was a long kiss. When it was over, Ste panted, “You…”
rence said, “Didn’t you say that you’re breathless? I’m giving some oxygen to you.”
Ste, “…”
She said sulkily, “You’re so disgusting.”
“It was you who said that.”
Ste didn’t have the mood to talk nonsenses with him, “I have to go to sleep now. Otherwise, I will not
be able to wake up tomorrow.”
rence said, “You can keep sleeping.”
“Unlike you, who have a great fortune, I’m not that free. I’m woken up y my poorness every morning.
How will I earn money if I don’t go to work?”
“Remarry me. Then my money will be yours.”

“No, thanks. I don’t intend to do so temporarily.”
Ste left his embrace, “I have to go. Mr. Conrad, please go home earlier.”
rence grabbed her wrist, refusing to let go of her.
Ste was confused.
rence fixed his ck eyes on her, “Can’t I go upstairs with you?”
Ste gritted her teeth, “No way!”
What was this wretch man thinking again?
Then can youe back to the Starry Lake Mansion? I will send you back tomorrow morning?”
Ste reminded him, “The day will be breaking several hourster.”
rence pressed his thin lips together. He didn’t speak, nor did he let go of her.
It was the first time for Ste to realize that rence was a clingy person. She was in a dilemma about
whether toe back or not.
It seemed like what Sherry said before was right – absence make the heart grow fonder.
In the end, both of them make apromise.
Ste didn’t go upstairs and rence didn’t require her toe to the Starry Lake Mansion with him.
…
Time passed second by second and the sun rose slowly.
Ste looked up and rubbed her eyes. Then she saw a person who was looking into the car window.
She was startled and subconsciously wanted to sit up. But she was pressed into his arms again. At the
next moment, the man’s husky yet charming voice sounded, “Sleep for a more while.”
Ste was so frightened that she woke up immediately. She didn’t have the mood to sleep now. She
took away his hand and pulled open the car door, “Go back home to sleepter. I have to go to work
now.”
After finishing the words, she hurriedly got off the car.
rence opened her drowsy eyes, looked down and pressed his eyebrows.
When Ste got off the car, Sherry leaned forward and chuckled, “Awake?”
Ste’s face got red when she heard the question. She held up her hand, pulled her towards their hold
and asked, “Why did you look into the car window just now?”
“I didn’t see you when I woke up and I couldn’t reach you when I called you. When I went downstairs, I
saw rence’s car. But I didn’t expect that…” With curiosity written all over her face, Sherry nudged
Ste, “What happened in the carst night? You were so tired and directly slept in the car?”
Ste, “…”
She gritted her teeth and squeezed out several words, “Nothing has happened. We simply slept in the
car.”
“Really? I don’t believe it.”
Ste pressed a button of the lift and said righteously, “Nothing has happen. What’re you always
thinking of dirty things?”
She slept with rence in the car for several hours. Although when sleeping, that wretched man’s
hand tried to cruise her body, he was stopped immediately.
Ste took a shower after going back home, changed her clothes, and then went to the studio together
with Sherry.
When they got off the car, they saw a familiar person standing outside of the studio.
Sherry took a nce at Ste and asked surprisingly, “Howes she’s here?”
Madison looked towards then when hearing her voice.
