“Sharon, this is Justin Conrad. You can call him Mr. Conrad.”
After introducing him to Stella, Stanford left as he still had something to do.
Justin sat on the wheelchair, smiling warmly and gently, “Stella, now I only know that you are the
famous designer of SG Jewelry Magazine.”
“Brother.”
Stella paused for a moment, “Mr. Conrad.”
Justin said, “No need to be so polite with me. Just call me ‘brother’ like how Clarence does.”
“Never mind. Clarence and I have already divorced.”
Justin smiled, “That’s right, but it’s just a title. I am older than you, so it’s always right for you to call me
‘brother’.”
Stella pursed up the corner of her mouth slightly, and did not continue the discussion on the what was
the title she should call him, “What kind of jewellery does Mr. Conrad want to customize.”
“I almost forgot about this,” Justin took out some papers from the file bag he was carrying and put them
on the table. “Next week is my mother’s birthday. I want to customize a necklace for her. I planned to
design it myself, but as you can see, what I made was too ugly to give her as a present.”
She felt like she couldn’t control the smile on her face again.
Wasn’t Justin’s mother also Clarence’s mother?
The woman was cold and elegant. She revealed a noble aura all over her body, rejecting people from a
thousand miles away.
Justin saw Stella looking uneasy and said apologetically, “Did this matter put you in a difficult position?
I also came here to try my luck after hearing my friends who said that the designer who SG Jewelry
Magazine signed recently is very talented. If it makes you in dilemma, then never mind…”
When he said the last sentence, his words sounded regretful.
Stella paused for two seconds before saying, “It will not make me in dilemma. What style does Mr.
Conrad want?”
It was she who said that she and Clarence had divorced. If she rejected his request because of that
now, it seemed like she was still holding a grudge.
Moreover, she shouldn’t be emotionally involved doing her work.
Justin told Stella the style he wanted and added, “Next week is my mother’s birthday, so I may need
the sketch of the design to come out in three days and the product should be finished before her
birthday. Is it a bit rushed? It’s my fault for delaying too much time before. I knew I didn’t have the
ability, but I still went to give it a try.”
“I don’t have any other work to do right now so three days should be enough. When I finish the design,
I will ask Mr. Leif to contact you.”
“Actually, I don’t know Mr. Leif too well also. If it is possible, can you leave me your WeChat to contact
you?”
Stella said, “Okay.”
She was doing her work and it was a reasonable request from her customer.
After they added each other in WeChat, Stella put the paper on the table into the file bag and handed it
to Justin, and said, “Then I will see you out.”
“Thanks.”
After leaving the office of SG Jewelry Magazine, Justin’s driver greeted them and took the handle of the
wheelchair from Stella.
“Just see me out until here. I shouldn’t delay your work.”
Stella smiled, “Goodbye, Mr. Conrad.”
When she got on the lift, she thought, if there was anyone in the Conrad family who was kind towards
her, it would be Justin Conrad.
At that banquet a few years ago, when she was being constantly ordered around and mocked with cold
eyes, only Justin handed her a glass of water and said in a warm voice, “Take a break, you don’t have
to take what they said personally. As long as Clarence firmly believes that you are his wife, what others
say is useless.”
She said silently to herself, “The one who does not believe the most is Clarence.”
Holding the cup, she whispered to him to thank him.
Later, when Conrad came up to provoke and humiliate her, it was also Justin who helped her out.
At that time, Stella did not understand why there was such a big difference between the two brothers in
terms of personalities.
If Clarence had one-tenth of Justin’s gentleness, then she could wake up laughing in her dreams.
When she went back to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine, Sherry ran over and asked her
whisperingly, “I heard Mr. Leif saying that the man’s surname is Conrad. Does he have any relationship
with Clarence or just they have the same surname?”
Stella said, “He is Clarence’s brother,”
Sherry was shocked and puzzled, “Does Clarence even have a brother?”
Justin never appeared in public these few years and he always stayed home. Moreover, the affairs of
the Conrad Group were handled by Clarence, so it was normal for outsiders not to know the existence
of Justin.
Stella nodded.
“Then the purpose he asks you to design the jewellery is to humiliate you deliberately on behalf of
Clarence, right?”
“No, he is much kinder and gentler than Clarence. But…”
Stella told Sherry that he asked her to design a necklace for his mother.
Sherry opened her eyes wide in surprise, “Then have you rejected him? You should have rejected him,
right?”
“I said yes.”
In fact, Stella had only met with Joanna twice.
Once was before the marriage between her and Clarence in which she was brought back to the Conrad
family, she felt awkward and uncomfortable standing in front of Clarence’s parents. She didn’t know
what should she do and wanted to dig a hole and hide.
Then the second time was the banquet of the Conrad’s family.
Joanna treated her extremely cold both times they met.
But fortunately, she only had to produce the design of the jewellery, as Justin would find others to find
the materials and complete the product.
Sherry sighed, “It’s also true. You do not need to meet her either. By the way, I heard Mr. Leif said that
he offered a very high price. I should have known that he is Clarence’s brother and let Mr. Leif asked
for a higher price!”
Sherry added, “By the way, you went to do the antenatal examination today. What did the doctor say?”
Stella smiled subconsciously, “The doctor said that the fetus is all normal. He grows very well. Today I
even listened to the fetal heartbeat.”
“Really? I want to listen to the fetal heartbeat too!”
Sherry put her head on her belly before she finished her sentence.
Stella laughed, “This is not the way to listen to it.”
“Now the baby is four months old right. I think I will see my baby after six months at most. Have you
thought of a name yet?”
“It’s still early. I don’t even know whether the baby is a boy or a girl yet, and I think we can think about it
after the baby is born.”
“Then just leave this matter to me. I will think a few names for both boys and girls for you to choose.”
Stella laughed, “Also think for yourself. Hasn’t Liam proposed to you?”
Sherry pouted her lips, “Hasn’t. I have given him a hint a few times this month. He is usually romantic
and amorous, but he becomes another person who is wooden-headed when I hope he will propose to
me. Moreover, he needs to attend a business dinner and socialize with others very often. I am also
embarrassed to disturb him because of this matter as he is so busy.”
“Then let’s wait. Maybe he’ll propose to you after he finished his work during this period.”
“Yes, are you going back now? I happen to be going out to do the shooting. I can give you a ride.”
“Never mind. I still have to go and report my work progress to Mr. Leif. You may go first.”
After reporting her progress to Stanford, she recalled that there were no more cooking ingredients at
home.
She asked the driver to stop at a shopping mall nearby.
Not long after she entered the mall, she saw a baby store with cute little clothes and shoes, which
made her unable to take her eyes off.
Stella bought a few little one-piece clothes for her baby and was just about to go buy something else
when she saw a man and a woman walking past her in an embrace.
The woman was drinking her milk tea while tilting her head coquettishly.
Stella looked at them carefully.
The man…
She took out a mask from her bag and hurriedly followed them.
