Chapter 667
After three hours, the nended in Christchurch of New Zend.
When the phone signal returned, Ste received many messages.
Sherry sent her a screenshot of the piece of news about their trip to Irnd.
Besides that, Sherry also bombarded her with some messages, asking Ste whether her trip was fun.
Ste replied that they were only switching nes in Irnd. They were no longer there.
After replying to Sherry, Ste saw other messages which were mostly greetings mixed with some
messages trying to find out about rence’s situation.
Those messages weren’t urgent.
After sending out some short replies, she logged out of the application and just as she was about to
turned off her phone, she found that Emmett Carter had tried to call her roughly ten hours or so ago.
That should be the time when she was still on the ne to Irnd. When she was in Irnd? she didn’t
turn on her phone.
It had been some time since Emmett and her had talked, and she couldn’t figure out the reason he
would be trying to call her.
Just as she was wondering whether she should call back, rence said, “We are staying here tonight.
We will go to Tekapo tomorrow.”
Ste responded briefly and turned off her phone in the end.
rence saw the name on her screen and licked his teeth silently. He then asked nonchntly, “Are
there many people looking for you?”
“There are some, but it’s fine now. I have dealt with it.”
rence continued, “Those who are looking for you at this timing all have their own schemes. You can
just block them.”
Ste replied, “Not all of them are like that. They are simply concerned with you.”
“Concerned with me?”
“Yeah.”
“If that’s the case, why don’t they call me?”
Ste didn’t know how to answer him.
By then she only realized that rence was talking about Emmett, not those other friends looking for
her on chats.
Ste held back herugh and said seriously, “You should find out the reason yourself.”
rence snorted and stopped talking to her anymore.
Ste’s lips curled into a bigger smile as she retrieved her gaze and directed it outside the car window.
Christchurch is the thirdrgest city in New Zend, second only to Ad and Wellington, and is
thergest city in the South Ind of New Zend. It is called "the Garden City".
Christchurch is a distinctly English city, and it is said to be the most English city outside the UK.
On the streets, there were buildings which were built in neenth-century with elegant design.
After reaching their hotel, the man who weed them at the Irnd airport was there too. He took
over their luggage and disappeared as fast as he appeared.
Ste stood on the balcony and gazed out at the streets. She shut her eyes and enjoyed the soothing
breeze in the air.
It was indeed so rxing to go on a vacation.
rence wrapped his arms around her from behind and held onto the railing on the balcony. He cooed
into her ears, “Do you love this ce?”
Ste said while opening her eyes, “You should just suggest this ce long ago. Why did you even ask
me to choose a ce?”
rence raised his brows slightly, “You can choose anywhere you want to go. I simply want to bring
you here. They don’t interfere with each other.”
“I…”
“Haven’t I said before? Women always love to hold grudges. If we were to travel and we somehow
went to a ce you don’t really like, you will bite on it forever.”
Ste was speechless.
Wasn’t he a little out of line now?
rence added, “Don’t you want to take a bath after a whole day of being on nes?”
“How can I go take a bath if you don’t let go of me?”
“We will do it together.”
…
After their bath, the sun was just setting. The sun reflected on the surface of theke not far away, and
the whole city was shrouded in huge shadows everywhere.
rence asked her, “Are you tired? If you are not, let’s go take a stroll.”
Ste was not tired at all because she felt a little upset after getting tortured by this bastard back in the
bathroom.
However, since they were already here, it would be a waste to not go out and have a walk.
She replied, “Wait a minute. Let me get changed.”
It was almost night time, and in contrast to the warmth during day time, the night breeze was a little
chilly.
While walking on the streets in a foreign country, the moon seemed to be very different too.
Compared to the vibrant night life in City N, there were barely any people on the streets here. The
whole city seemed to be in tranquility.
They could even enjoy themselves and rx just by taking a stroll on the streets.
Under the glow of streetmps, they would bump into a street artist ying violin asionally.
The music was lento and tender, and it slowly traversed across the empty, seemingly endless street.
Ste was holding rence’s hand. She whispered, “Have you been here before?”
“Yes.”
“When was that?”
“Three years ago.”
It had been four years since their marriage, and at that time when rencest visited this ce, it
must be when they had been married for just a year.
rence continued, “When I was on a business trip in Ad at that time, I heard about a special
ce which drew me here.”
Ste asked with her head tilted, “What’s so special about it?”

“You will see tomorrow.”
“Is that the ce you wanted to bring me all along?”
rence curled his lips, “Yes.”
The way he was describing it sessfully perked up Ste’s curiosity.
What kind of special ce it could be that made such a cold-blooded rence three years ago even
bother to pay a visit.
After returning to the hotel, Ste suddenly had a spur of inspiration. She took out her draft book and
sat on the carpet and began drawing.
rence didn’t understand what she was doing.
He sat beside her and said, “We are in vacation now. Shouldn’t you do something that’s rted to
vacation?”
Ste didn’t raise her head as she replied, “You should catch up on sleep during vacation. Go sleep
now.”
rence said nothing.
After saying that, Ste stopped talking and giving him anymore attention. She focused totally on her
design and was oblivious to her surroundings.
After some time, rence received a call, “Mr. Conrad, that person has arrived.”
rence mumbled a yes and stole a nce at Ste who was focused on drawing. He said, “Wait for
me at the meeting room.”
He walked to the door and wrote something on a slip of paper. He stuck it on a cup next to Ste before
heading out of the room.
Ste was done with her first draft and she decided to stretch herself and walk around. Just as she was
about to drink water from the cup, she saw the note on it.
rence wrote, "I am heading out for a while. I wille backter. If you’re hungry, ring the service."
Ste was indeed hungry. She put down the note and ordered some food, and then she lied down on
the sofa and turned on her phone.
After two days of the news spreading on the inte, there were still many people talking about
rence’s resignation from the Conrad Group. Some were specting about the future development
of the group, and they thought that without rence at the helm, the group had a high possibility to go
downhill.
Upon this analysis, there were people who objected it too, saying that the current Conrad Group could
be where they were today because of the cumtive efforts of the predecessors. rence was simply
standing on a giant’s shoulder and reaping the rewards. In other words, the impact of his absence on
the group wasn’t that big.
Among those voices of objection, most of them cited that rence was still an illegitimate son in the
end. In a way, he was going to drag the name of the group into the mud and they were of the opinion
that after his departure, the Group could only get better.
