Chapter 307


    Upon hearing the abnormal sounds from the other end of the line, Sherry immediately said, “I’m quite


    sleepy now. Bye!”


    After finishing her words, she hung up the phone without any hesitation.


    rence heard the beeps from the phone. He kissed Ste behind her ear and said in a deep and


    maic voice, “Done?”


    Of course, the call wasn’t done. It was interrupted by the wretched man.


    Before Ste answered, the man’s kisses had been already moved to her neck from the back of her


    ear.


    She felt a bit tickled and numb.


    Ste couldn’t help clenching her fists, trying her best to control her breath. “It’s... It’s getting quitete.


    Shouldn’t you...”


    rence bit her fair skin gently. “What should I do?”


    Ste hissed in pain. She asked, “Are you a dog?”


    “I can be anything.”


    rence gripped her shoulders and turned her around. Then he pressed her against the handrail on


    the balcony, biting her lips. He guided her gently, “Your bestie won’te home tonight. Can I stay


    here overnight then?”


    “No...”


    As soon as Ste uttered a word, her lips were sealed seamlessly.


    Even the wretched man didn’t answer her, his voice appeared in her mind: “I’m not asking you for the


    permission.”


    Under the cold wind on the balcony, Ste didn’t feel cold at all. Instead, she felt as if she was within a


    big stove. The heat made her hard to breathe.


    rence’s big palms held her cheeks. He kissed her more and more wildly.


    Shortly after, Ste’s legs became too weakened to support her.


    She reached out and pressed rence’s chest. Taking a step back and panting slightly, she looked at


    him with her tearful eyes. “All right... Enough...”


    rence focused on her delicate and charming lips. He approached and pecked on them again.


    “You’ve agreed.”


    Ste was confused.


    She wondered what she said to make him misunderstand that she agreed.


    rence let go of her. He loosened his necktie with one hand. “Do you have any pajamas that I can


    wear?”


    Ste came back to her senses. She looked at him alertly and answered without any hesitation, “No.”


    “Okay. It doesn’t matter.”


    After finishing his words, he took off the tie and tossed it to the sofa. He walked into the bathroom.


    Ste gritted her teeth. She could only go to her room to find a set of Channing’s pajamas.


    She took them to the bathroom door and knocked on it. “I’ll put the pajamas at the door.”


    “Take them in.”


    Ste choked up.


    Trying her best to hold back her impulse to kill him, she twisted the doorknob. When she was about to


    put them on the cab, she saw the man turned to her. Half of the buttons of his shirt were


    unbuttoned. His strong chest was shown.


    Underneath, she faintly saw his abs and Apollo''s belt.


    Instantly, Ste felt as if her eyes were burned. She immediately looked away and stammered, “I... I’ve


    put them here. I’ll...”


    When she was about to go out, rence pressed one of his hands on the wall next to her. Tilting his


    head, he looked around and whispered, “Which of them are your belongings?”


    Ste pointed at a few at random. Then she said, “Don’t use my towel! There are disposable face


    towels over there. You can use them to wipe...”


    rence bent over, approaching her. “Where to wipe?”


    “Whatever you like.”


    As she spoke, Ste wanted to escape under rence’s arm. Much to her surprise, rence suddenly


    withdrew his arms while turning around. She threw herself into his arms directly.


    The man curled up his thin lips. He wrapped around her waist. “Don’t rush. We have plenty of time


    tonight.”


    Ste blushed and even her whole neck became reddened. She stamped on him violently in anger.


    rence groaned. He said, “You should change this habit.”


    “No way!”


    As she spoke, Ste hurriedly trotted out of the bathroom when he didn’t pay attention. She pulled the


    door close outside, wishing that she could lock it from the outside. Only if he could stay in the bathroom


    for the whole night. He always wanted toe to her apartment, anyway.


    When Ste was doing the dishes, she found that rence had finished the whole bowl of noodle


    soup. It seemed that he was indeed hungry.


    She wondered why he had to join the dinner. Did he n to watch how a hundred embarrassing ways


    were interpreted?


    Out of the kitchen, Ste sat on the sofa and turned on the TV so that the sound could cover the sound


    of the water in the bathroom.


    Soon, her phone started ringing.


    It was a call from Emmett.


    Ste swiped to answer and heard his voice. “Hello, Ste. I’m sorry I had something to deal with


    earlier, so I didn’t say bye to you before leaving the restaurant.”


    “It’s alright.” After a pause, Ste continued, “Did you want to talk to me?”


    On the other end of the line, Emmett was silent for a moment. Eventually, he didn’t speak it out.


    With a smile, he answered, “I was quite busy in the past few days. Today I could finally make time to


    visit you. I just want to check on you. There’s nothing else.”


    Ste slightly pressed her lips. She noticed that Emmett looked quite solemn, so she guessed that


    there must be something bothering him.


    However, since Emmett wasn’t willing to tell her, she didn’t have the reason to insist on asking.


    “Ste.”


    “Please go ahead.”


    Emmett slightly inhaled. “Mr. Conrad and you... Are you...”


    Ste said, “We’ve reconciled.”


    Even he had figured out the answer, Emmett still didn’t give up and asked the question.


    Upon hearing her answer, he felt rxed, however. With a faint smile, he said, “Wish you guys happy.”


    “Thank you, Emmett.”


    Ste didn’t know what else she could say besides thanking him.


    Before hanging up the phone, Emmett added, “Ste, no matter what, please be careful with Charles


    Steward and Phoebe Steward.”


    Shortly after the phone conversation ended, the bathroom door was opened.


    rence walked out, his ck hair half-dried. “Where is the hairdryer? I didn’t find it.”


    Ste came back to her senses. She put down the phone and walked into the bathroom. Then she took


    out the hairdryer from the drawer under the sink and handed it over to him. She asked in confusion,


    “Have you truly looked round?”


    “Certainly.”


    rence took it over and plugged it in.


    A drop of water on the tip of his hair slipped along his movements. It went along his jaw, passed his


    protruding Adam''s apple, and silently fell into his neckline.


    Seeing that, Ste licked her bottom lip subconsciously, feeling her throat dried out and tickled.


    Before she found an excuse to leave, the lower roar of the hairdryer rang out. rence tossed his wet


    hair, sshing a few water drops on Ste’s face.


    She looked up. When she was about to speak, she met the man’s eyes with a faint smile. He asked,


    “Are you stunned when watching me?”


    Right then, rence spoke in a deep and sexy tone. Channing’s pajamas made him younger than his


    actual eye. His usually calm and cold ck eyes were filled with a college student’s purity. Even his


    features with sharp outlines became softened.

    She had used to seeing him in a suit. Suddenly, his dressing style was changed, which seemed to have


    more impact. Even he was just standing there, he looked quite seductive.
