Chapter 581


    It was almost midnight by the time Ste arrived home and the baby was already asleep.


    "Are you doing fine? You worked tillte on the first day," Madison asked as she yawned.


    "Something was up, I won''t be thiste tomorrow," Ste replied.


    "Yeah I know, my husband called and told me about what happened at your office, I''m not


    comining." Madison picked up her stuff, "I shall leave now, see you tomorrow."


    Ste went into the bedroom to have a look at the baby soon as Madison left. All worries and stresses


    vanished at that moment.


    Sherry came from next door at this moment, "You are back, Ste."


    "You are still awake?" Ste asked as she nodded.


    "I went back for a shower," she sat on the sofa, "Madison is such a nagger but she is good at taking


    care of the baby. The baby kept crying after you left in the morning while Madison had been trying to


    calm him down the whole day, patiently. She wasn''t annoyed at all."


    Ste was stunned when hearing that and automatically looked at the baby in the bedroom, "He cried?"


    Realizing she said something wrong, Sherry let out augh, "It''s nothing really, maybe he wasn''t used


    to not having you around at first, but he was fine right after that, not crying."


    Ste remained silent for a while before she asked, "Daniel is not home yet?"


    Sherry leaned on the sofa, "He called thirty minutes ago saying he''ll be here tomorrow morning. It''s


    good that he is noting, I could have some leisure time alone."


    "Do you really mean it?" Ste smiled lightly.


    "Of course… I mean it. You don''t know how stressful I feel having him monitoring me like a criminal


    every day."


    Ste sat next to her, "What is happening between you two now?"


    A lot had happened in these few days and she didn''t even have time to ask.


    Sherry sighed, "He asked me to keep the baby and promised to take good care of me. This is it and we


    will talk about the rest in the future. It''s no big deal. I can give birth and raise the child on my own like


    you. It makes no difference with or without him."


    She had given it a thorough thought at the hospitalst time and decided she couldn''t abort the baby.


    Especially when she saw Ste''s son these days, crawling and ying around, she began looking


    forward to the arrival of her own kid.


    She knew Daniel didn''t want to get married, and she had no intention of asking him for anything, but he


    had allowed her to settle down.


    "Have you decided?" Ste asked.


    Sherry nodded, "Yes. A single mother raising a kid is verymon nowadays. Instead of forcing two


    individuals to be together because of a baby, it is better to have separate lives. He can spend time or


    lives with the baby anytime he wants to, I think this is a good idea."


    "Alright, it''ste, I''m going to hit the sack now, rest early," she said as she rose.


    "Alright, good night."


    Ste sat resting on the sofa for a few moments after Sherry left. Her doorbell rang as she was heading


    for the shower. She thought Sherry left something behind but saw rence instead when she opened


    the door.


    Ste blocked him from entering the house, "The baby is asleep,e tomorrow if you want to see


    him."


    rence stood with his hand in his pocket, "I know, I''m not here to see him, I''m here to…"


    Ste wanted to close the door before letting him finished.


    rence quickly blocked the door with his hand, "I''m not finished," he said as he frowned.


    Ste stood behind the door, ''There is no good thing whenever he visits,'' she thought.


    rence stroked his wet ck hair and said slowly, "Can I borrow your hairdryer?"


    "I don''t have one."


    "Liar, let me go in and check," rence insisted.


    Ste didn''t move an inch, "You have two houses and no hairdryer?"


    rence, "It''s all broken coincidentally."


    "You are such a misfortune guy."


    rence was speechless for a second and said, "Aren''t neighbor should help each other? Can''t you


    lend me a hairdryer?"


    "I''m stingy and petty, if you borrow and refuse to return it, I''ll be ufortable asking it back, so I can


    only choose not to lend it to you now."


    rence''s pulse on his temples was racing, "I will return it."


    Ste was determined, "That''s hard to tell, you are not trustworthy to me."


    rence lost his energy, "How am I going to sleep then?"


    "It''s pretty windy today, go sit for half an hour downstairs to dry your hair." She closed the door after


    that.


    rence had the door closed on his nose and went back next door with pouting lips.


    He went into the washroom, took out the dryer, turned it on, and an idea crossed his mind. He brought


    the toolbox and broke some wires in the dryer before he went for a cold shower again.


    …


    The next afternoon, Ste received a call from Nathan.


    "Ms. Radomil, Mr. Conrad hasn''t shown up at work and he couldn''t be reached via phone, do you know


    where he is?"


    "How would I know?"


    "Mr. Conrad had never been missing in action like this, I''m worried if anything happens to him."


    "You can visit his home if you are worried," Ste replied casually.


    "I can''t. There is a meeting ten minutester and I have to attend on behalf of Mr. Conrad since he is


    not here."


    Ste, "I see."


    Nathan coughed and began worrying again, "Mr. Conrad was discharged from the hospital before fully


    recovered, and a lot had happened these days, I wonder if his body could handle it. If he faints


    somewhere without anyone knowing…"


    Ste interrupted, "Don''t you have a meeting to attend ten minutester, do you not need to prepare?"


    "Oh yes, goodbye Ms. Radomil."


    Ste set her mobile aside after hanging up. She stared at the design draft in front of her but couldn''t


    start drawing.


    She let out a breath after a few minutes, picked up her stuff, and stood up.


    "Do you need to go somewhere?" Her assistant asked with files in hands.


    Ste nodded, "I will have a lookter when Ie back, call me if anything happens."


    "Okay."


    Ste headed back to her rented house right after she left Steward Group.


    She stood at rence''s door and rang the bell several times but no one answered.


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Ste looked at the lock, hesitated for a moment, and pressed the same passcode of the previous


    apartment.


    The door was opened two secondster.


    The passcode was the date of their wedding anniversary.


    Ste went in and found that all curtains were closed and the house was quiet.


    "rence?" She called out softly.


    There was no reply.


    Ste opened the curtains for some air venttion and then headed to the bedroom. She heard some


    noise in the bedroom, opened the door, and saw rence lying on the bed with his head soaked in


    sweats, frowning.
