Chapter 527


    rence whispered, "Yeah, I’ve seen him."


    Ste did not say anything. She could tell it was nothing pleasant just by thinking.


    She gently raised her hand, patted his back andforted him silently.


    At length, she whispered, "Let’s go home. I''ll cook for you. What do you want to eat?"


    rence''s voice was slightly raised and there was some obvious directivity. "Anything?"


    “…”


    She should not have pitied him!


    Ste loosened her grip and retracted her hand. "Alright, let''s go."


    Sitting in the car, rence looked at her. "Let’s not go home."


    Ste asked while driving, "Then where do you want to go?"


    rence said, "Where do you want to go?"


    Ste said seriously, "I want to go home and sleep."


    "That’s okay though."


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Ste regretted mentioning that and she simply shut her mouth up.


    After a few seconds, rence entered an address into the navigation panel and said ndly, "Let’s go


    here."


    Ste took a glimpse. "Sure."


    That address belonged to somewhere in an old city.


    City N was really huge, so huge that Ste felt that she had never been there.


    The car drove for an hour before reaching their destination.


    After stopping the car, Ste opened the door. What she saw were all dpidated houses, surrounded


    by broken walls and were uninhabited. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.


    The ce was so old and deste as if it had been forgotten, and it was ipatible with the


    prosperous city.


    As Ste was wondering why rence would bring her there, he stopped next to her, leaned against


    the car, looked at the far end and said, "I’ve lived here before the Conrad’s take me back."


    Ste was startled and she looked back at him. "You mean here?"


    "Yes."


    "Then how..."


    How did the ce be like that?


    rence said, "A few years ago, a developer bought here and everyone moved away."


    Ste asked, "You bought it?"


    rence looked at her and smiled. "No."


    "Huh?"


    "The developer bought here because he heard that the government wanted to focus on the


    development of this ce, but he didn''t expect that the mayor was reced and the previous project


    was rectified again. No one cares about this ce anymore and that’s why the ce has be like


    this."


    After falling into silence for a while, Ste whispered, "I don''t understand the world of the rich. He’s


    spent so much money to buy it, but he left it here in the end."


    rence put his hand on her shoulder casually and said slowly, "Invest blindly is not a good idea. If you


    can''t get any profit, it''s better to stop the loss in time."


    Ste pondered and thought it to be true.


    It was an old city in the first ce, and the ce is situated at the far end corner of the city. If the


    government had not nned to focus on developing that ce, it really had not much future for


    investments. No matter what they did to the ce, it was a losing business.


    At a distance, the sun was setting slowly.


    Ste leaned on rence''s shoulder and gazed at the rows of houses in front.


    It was indeed very simr to Anqiao Street. The houses were next to each other, and there were many


    interconnected alleys.


    She had to say, it was quite quiet there.


    No one would probably regard this as a corner of City N.


    After a while, Ste suddenly felt a little strange and she raised her head from rence''s shoulder.


    "Have you and Ms. Anderson always lived here?"


    "Yeah."


    "Without other rtives?"


    "Yeah."


    Ste had felt that Dolores was different when she first saw her.


    Although the clothes she wore were simple and clean, the self-restraint and graceful temperament


    reflected from inside her were far stronger than Joanna.


    Ste thought for a while and asked, "Do you know other family members of Ms. Anderson?"


    rence said ndly, "I didn''t ask. I''ve been here since I was born."


    Ste always felt that Dolores was not the kind of person who would be someone’s mistress, and


    that must not be her real home too.


    There must be some other unrevealed secrets about what happened back then.


    Not knowing how long had passed, the sun was nowhere to be seen.


    rence spoke, "Let''s go."


    "Okay."


    rence was the one driving the car when they headed back.


    The journey was a little long and there was some traffic congestion. Ste leaned back against the seat


    and had slowly fallen asleep.


    When she opened her eyes again, she found that that was not the way back home.


    She moved her stiff neck, looked around and asked bleary eyed, "Where are we going?"


    rence''s voice was rarely soft. "Home."


    "Home? Is this the way? "


    rence smiled and said slowly, "This is the way home."


    As the car went to the right, Ste realized that was the way to the Starry Lake Mansion.


    She suddenly remembered that rence had mentioned before going to London that they would move


    here when he came back.


    She hadpletely forgotten about that.


    A few minutester, the car stopped in front of the Starry Lake Mansion.


    Ste got off the car and stood at the entrance. She noticed the whole garden was full of star lights,


    there were swings, vines and the yard was brimmed with flowers.


    In addition to the design ording to her idea, other elements were also integrated inside.


    It felt like home at first nce.


    It was no longer the cold and deste mansion before.


    Ste turned around and met rence’s eyes.


    rence raised his eyebrow at her. "Go in and have a look."


    rence took her hand and both of them walked inside.


    Although Ste had basically imagined how it would look like in her mind, she was still stunned for a


    moment when the door was opened.


    The ce was just exactly like how she had imagined, even morefortable, warmer and brighter


    than she thought.


    Many green nts were ced around, and the house was full of the breath of life.


    rence held her hand and they continued to walk upstairs.


    He opened the bedroom door and turned on the light.


    A smile slowly broke upon Ste’s lips. That ce waspletely changed too.


    It did look like a home now.


    However, when she saw the children''s room, she was instantly awake as if her mind was dealt a blow.


    Seeing her strange look, rence asked softly, "What''s the matter?"


    Ste only looked at him at length. "Do you still remember that I have something to tell you?"


    "Yeah?"


    Ste pursed her lips, her eyshes trembled violently, and her throat was a little dry. She opened her


    mouth, but did not make a sound.


    rence stood in front of her, raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Babe, what''s wrong?"


    Ste lowered her head and said with a hoarse voice, "When I went to the hospital for a checkupst


    time, the doctor said it might be difficult for me to get pregnant in the future. I probably can''t have a


    baby."


    "That''s it?"


    Ste nodded. She had initially gotten over it, but when she saw the children''s room, she suddenly


    realized that Sherry was right. rence actually wanted children.


    rence took her into his arms. "I have something to tell you too."
