Chapter 608


    Riverside City had a beautiful night scene, and the scene near the river was especially beautiful. They


    could even see the reflection of the city’s night scene on the surface of the river.


    And the night breezes were so pleasing.


    The restaurant was near the river, and when they looked over, they could see the wrinkled, glimmering


    surface of the river caused by the wind.


    As Ste had slept for the whole afternoon, she wasn’t that hungry and felt full although she didn’t eat


    too much. Seeing this, rence ordered a dessert for her.


    Ste declined, “I’m too full to eat it.”


    “You just ate a little and you’ll easily get hungry tonight.” rence pushed the dessert to her, “Hurry up


    to finish it. Otherwise, you’ll not be able to gain 1 kilogram, not to mention 5 kilograms.”


    “It’s you who said that. It has nothing to do with me.”


    rence curled his lips into a smile, “Yep, it’s me who said that.”


    As Ste was full, she couldn’t eat anything else. Therefore, they packed the dessert and took it back


    to the hotel, preparing to eat it when they were hungry.


    rence didn’t have any objection.


    After dinner, they walked by the riverside. Ste leaned forward with her hands on the handrailzily,


    enjoying the pleasing breezes.


    rence asked, “What’s wrong?”


    “My legs feel weak. I don’t have any strength.”


    She had slept for the whole day and didn’t do anything, but she inexplicably felt tired.


    rence turned his back to her and squatted down, “Get on my back.”


    Ste looked around and found there were many people in the surrounding. She asked in a whisper,


    “What do you want to do?”


    “Didn’t you say you don’t have any strength? I will carry you back.”

    “I… I just want to have a rest. It’s not that exaggerating. I can still walk.”


    rence turned around and pulled her arm.


    Being caught out of the guard, Ste pounced on his back.


    rence then stood up with Ste on his back, “You should have gotten on earlier.”


    Ste was rendered speechless.


    Although there were many people in the surrounding, most of them were here for a walk and none of


    them carried a person on the back. Therefore, many people looked at them curiously and gossipingly.


    Ste put her head on his shoulder and urged him in a low voice, “Come back to the hotel,e back.”


    “Don’t you want to continue the walk?”


    “Am I walking?”


    The smile on rence’s face became brighter. He then walked towards the hotel with Ste on his


    back.


    There was only a walk of dozens of minutes from the riverside to the hotel.


    Looking at their low shadows under the streetmps, Ste suddenly called his name, “rence.”


    “Yes?”


    “Hurry up to tell me. What do you think the truth of the ident twenty years ago would be?”


    When finding her mother’s corpse, rence told her that the persons who helped Lyndon finish that


    n twenty years ago and the persons who caused Justin’s car ident might be from the same


    group.


    Beforeing to Riverside City, Ste thought all these must be done by the James family.


    But out of no reason, this feeling had weakened and it was not that strong now.


    It was based on the way how she got along with Archer and Darnell and the words they said.


    She had a hunch that they despised such tricks.


    No matter it was twenty years ago or now.


    The James were not as heinous as she had imagined.


    rence said in a t tone, “No matter what it would be, it must be unpleasant.”


    “What was the James’ role in the ident twenty years ago? What do you think of it?”


    “Not a positive role.”


    “Why?”


    “The James are not allowed to leave Riverside in their whole life. However, they were involved in the


    idents twenty years ago, like the big file in the Stewards’ Mansion, Lyndon’s fraud of stealing


    Charles’ identity and Justin’s car ident. Except for the possibility I mentioned just now, could it be


    that they came there to carry out some good deeds?”


    Ste moved her lips trying to say something, yet was temporarily lost for words.


    rence continued, “Maybe the James were not the persons behind all these, but these idents


    must have some rtionship with them.”


    “But I still can’t figure out a question.”


    rence replied, “I can’t either. But I guess we will get the answer soon.”


    The question was: Since the James were not allowed to leave Riverside, why did they break the rule


    and involve in those things in City N?


    Aftering back to the hotel, Stey on the bed after some simple washing procedures as she had


    taken a bath before going out. She turned on her phone which was fully charged and called Ste to


    tell her that she was safe.


    Sherry immediately received the call and said hurriedly, “I’m so scared that you’ve been missing for two


    days. Luckily, Mr. Conrad called me this morning.”


    Ste paused when she heard the words and then asked, “Did he call you?”


    “Not me exactly. It was that Daniel sent his men to find you and Mr. Conrad told us about the condition


    concisely, telling us not to find you.” Sherry then asked, “Ste, what happened? Why did you suddenly


    disappear from the hospital?”


    Ste slightly pressed her lips together, “I was taken away by Darnell’s men.”


    “Darnell? That monster who’s rumoured that he would eat people? Oh gosh. Tell me, does he look


    horrifying and gloomy? Did he do anything to you?”


    Ste chuckled, “Not so. I saw him and he looks different from the rumours. He looks…”


    An idea shed across her mind when she recalled the person she saw at the door, but it slipped away.


    Sherry asked in confusion, “Is he handsome?”


    “It’s true that he’s handsome.”


    “How handsome is he? Is he more handsome than rence?”


    Ste’s hand which was holding the phone froze in the air and she recalled the scene when she first


    met Darnell.


    She finally caught the idea that shed across her mind just now.


    Several secondster, Ste replied, “Yes.”


    Sherry didn’t believe it, “Really?”


    “Yes. They’re evenly handsome.”


    Sherry finally eximed, “Oh gosh! I can’t believe there’s a person who’s as handsome as Mr. Conrad


    in the world. Oh, I also want to see him. Can you secretly take a picture of him and send it to me?”


    Ste replied, “It’s hard.”


    Right at his moment, Daniel’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “I’m by your side. Don’t you


    think you’ve gone too far?”


    Sherry retorted, “I was telling the truth. Although Mr. Conrad has a sharp tone, he’s more handsome


    than many men. When he remains silent, he looks drop-dead handsome.”


    Ste was amused and smiled when she heard the words. When she looked up, however, she noticed


    the man who was leaning against the door frame.


    Ste was rendered speechless.


    She coughed, “Sherry, actually, I think…”


    Sherry sighed emotionally, “Mr. Conrad is a good man. Unluckily, he has a mouth.”


    rence walked over in strides.


    Ste quickly ended the call, hid the phone under the quilt and looked out of the windows calmly,


    wanting to pretend that nothing had happened.


    As rence approached her step by step, Ste suddenly felt that the temperature in the room was


    dropping dramatically and she felt somehow breathless because of his aura.


    Ste chose to break the silence, “Sherry was joking just now. It’s apliment.”


    rence stopped in front of her, “I perceive it. But…”


    When speaking, rence grabbed her wrist, pressed her onto the bed and narrowed his ck eyes


    dangerously, “Evenly handsome? What do you mean?
