Clarence said, “Aren’t they yours? Move them away. I will feel bothered when I see them.”
Stella was silent for two seconds, “Mr. Conrad, if you don’t want them, just throw them away.”
“Do I employ my maids to throw rubbish for you? Throw them by yourself.”
Stella was rendered speechless.
“…”
“There are many things. I can’t.”
Clarence remained indifferent, “Why don’t you throw some of them every day?”
Stella took a deep breath, “All right. But I have to deal with my work now, I hope Mr. Conrad can give
me several more days.
Only after several seconds did Clarence reply with a nasal sound, which sounded like a blessing.
“Then I will go first. Goodbye Mr. Conrad.”
Just as Stella took two steps, Clarence’s voice sounded from behind her, “My driver will give you a
ride.”
Stella refused, “No need to bother him, I can hail a taxi.”
“Didn’t you say that you’re so beautiful that everyone will fall for you at the first sight? Are you afraid

Stella laughed drily after a long while, “Did I say that?”
Clarence shifted his gaze. Apparently, he didn’t want to talk to Stella now.
Stella touched her nose awkwardly and then left.
She went downstairs and walked out of the building, and the driver showed up in front of her, “Mrs.
Conrad, Mr. Conrad asked me to give you a ride.”
Stella corrected him patiently, “Please don’t call me Mrs. Conrad again. I have divorced with Clarence.”
But obviously the driver was not as sensible and sly as Nathan. He was lost in words. After a long
while, he stammered, “O… Okay, Mrs. Conrad.”
On the way back, holding a paper bag in her arms, Stella leaned against the car window and heaved a
long sigh.
Luckily, Clarence’s way of thinking was always different from others. When he saw the folic acid, he
doubted that she and Horace were preparing to have a child. When he saw the clothes for infants, he
thought that she wanted a child. All in all, he never thought that she was pregnant although it was the
fact.
Anyway, she went through the difficulty again.
But the two things told her that it was not that easy to keep this a secret from Clarence.
If she stayed by his side, he would find it out one day.
Stella pondered that she would come to find Stanford when this matter came to end and ask him
whether if she could leave City N in advance.
After all, she just needed to design things and she barely needed to go to the magazine office unless
there was something urgent.
Although she didn’t know how long she could keep it a secret by using this means, she had to do this
as long as it was effective.
Moreover…
Stella recalled what Clarence said last night. He had clearly stated that he didn’t want a child. If he got
to know that she was pregnant one day, he would probably require her to abort the child.
After coming back home, Stella sat dully in front of her design draft. After a long while, she took out her
phone and made a phone call to Sherry.
“My dear Stella, what’s the matter?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt sounded like Sherry was in a good mood and there were also many noises from the other end of the
phone.
Stella grabbed the phone, “Nothing, where are you now?”
“It’s really rare that Liam got off the work on time. He doesn’t have any social activities today and bring
me to the amusement park. Do you want to come?”
“Nope. Enjoy your time.”
Sherry was so happy now, how could she disclose that to her and dampen her mood at this moment?
She knew that kind of feelings the best.
Sherry walked to a quiet place. She covered the micro of her phone and said to Stella, “Stella, I have a
hunch that Liam will propose to me tonight. He acts so abnormally today. Oh, Stella, should I directly
accept it or should I be reserved and refuse it?”
When Stella was about to say something, Liam’s voice sounded from the other end of the phone,
“Honey, who are you talking to?”
“It’s Stella.” After replying Liam’s question, Sherry said to Stella, “All right, let’s stop here. I will share
with you about how he proposes to me later.”
