Chapter 758
As soon as she went back home, Sherry went to take a shower.
After that, she nestled on the sofa and picked up her phone.
Brandon messaged her ten minutes ago.
“Sherry, after getting along with you in the past few weeks, I gather you''ve known me a bit more. I
wonder how you think about me. You are a nice girl. I know what we’ve learned about each other so far
is not enough for us to get married. However, dating is a procedure to get to know each other. Would
you like to progress our rtionship to the next stage?
“Sherry, would you be my girlfriend?”
Sherry stared at the message in silence.
She quit the chatbox with Brandon. Then she scrolled to find Daniel’s ID and tapped into it.
She started to scroll and browse their chat log.
After a long while, Sherry took a deep breath and deleted them all.
She tapped open the chatbox with Brandon again and typed “Okay”.
After sending the message, Sherry put down the phone andy prone on the sofa.
This was gonna be a fresh start, right?

Meanwhile, next door.
Ste was sorting clothes. When she took out the clothes from the suitcase, a small toy dropped on the
floor.
She put the clothes away, squatted down, and picked up the toy.
Last night, when she was packing, the baby was ying next to her. He must have put it in her suitcase
at that time.
Holding the toy, Ste was in a daze. She sat on the floor for a long time before standing up and going
to the bathroom.
After taking a shower, she opened a small bag and pulled out a box.
There was more than a dozen packs of herbal soup in there as well as medicine and syringes for
injection.
Archer gave them to Ste in secret before she left.
They were enough for a week.
She needed to take the herbal soup twice and get an injection a day.
Archer had patiently taught her how to take the soup and the injection.
Ste exhaled. She put everything into the innermost corner of the fridge behind several lunch boxes.
rence knew he wasn’t a good cook, so he would at most help with washing dishes or making
congee, although he had never seeded in cooking. He almost wouldn’t open the fridge at all.
Besides, she had hidden them behind the lunch boxes, so rence wouldn’t find them.
Ste heated up a bag of herbal soup. Shortly after she drank it, she felt sleepy.
It seemed the herbal soup could also help her to sleep better.
As soon as shey on the bed, she fell asleep quickly.
She slept so soundly that she didn’t notice when rence hade home.
When she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside. The sun had risen.
She stretched and turned around, as usual, only to find rence’s eyes were still closed. She
wondered if he had been awake.
Ste knew he must havee home quitete. Hence, she didn’t wake him up. Instead, she
approached him and pecked on his nose. When she was about to sit up, her waist was wrapped.
He said in a husky and sleepy tone, “Did you kiss me secretly again?”
Ste nestled on his chest with a smile. “I did it aboveboard.”
rence slowly opened his eyes and pecked on her lips. “Morning.”
“Morning.”
Ste took over her phone and checked the time. “When did youe backst night? Why don’t you
sleep in a bit longer? I’ll go make breakfast and wake you upter.”
rence answered, “At four.”
Ste felt guilt and med herself inwardly. “Are things in Steward Group troublesome?”
rence held her and closed his eyes again. He answered slowly, “Not really. Southwest is relocating
from abroad, so there are a lot of things to deal with.”
“Relocating back?”
“Yep. It’ll be more convenient.”
Ste quieted down. She left his embrace. “Go on sleeping. I’ll wake you upter.”
rence said, “All right.”
Ste got up, fixed her hair, and went into the bathroom.
When cooking, she pulled out a syringe and gave herself an injection. Then she tossed the syringe into
the trash can before heating up the herbal soup.
To let rence sleep in longer, Ste didn’t wake him up immediately. Instead, after finishing eating,
drinking the herbal soup, cleaning up the kitchen, and getting dressed, she woke him up before going
to work.
Standing next to him, she whispered, “The food is in the pot. You can eat it after getting up. I’m going to
work now.”
As she spoke, she was about to leave, but rence grabbed her wrist.
He sat up slowly. “Wait for me. I’ll give you a ride.”
Ste said, “It''s alright. Sherry is waiting for me. I’ll go with her.”
After a pause, she asked, “Will you go to Steward Group today as well?”
rence hummed. Looking at her, he said, “You look a bit unusual today.”
She was taken aback. Her eyes twinkled, and she looked away.
She wondered how sensitive his nose was. Did he smell the herbal soup?
Thinking of that, she sniffed on herself.
She already got changed and put on the perfume.
How did he still smell the herb from her?
While she was bewildered and wondering how she had given herself away, rence approached her
and said, “You look unusually pretty.”
Ste gaped.
For a moment, she wanted to throw two punches at him.
rence smiled and let go of her. “All right. I’ll let you go. Bye.”
Ste took a few steps. Then she looked back and said, “You’d better stop reading those cheesy
pickup lines anymore. Do you know how old you are? Those words are for the youngsters to flirt with
each other. You''re too old for this.”
rence was rendered speechless.
Ste was delighted to see him like that. She walked out while humming a song.

On the way to the studio, Sherry saw the big smile hanging on her face and asked, “Has Mr. Conrad
told you any smart way to get rich? Tell me about it.”
Ste was amused.
She returned to her senses and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Before I came to work, I
sort of roasted him. When I think of his face back then, it''s just funny.”
Sherry clicked her tongue. “You love birds. Thank you for the PDA.”
As she spoke, she shrugged. “I’m not jealous at all. After all, I also have a boyfriend.”
Ste paused. “Brandon Chang and you...”
Sherry nodded and said in a rxed tone, “We confirmed our rtionshipst night.”
