Emmett frowned, “Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“No, thanks. It’s my old disease. I’ll be fine soon.”
Although she said so, Emmett was still a bit worried, “Are you sure?”
Stella nodded, “Yes.”
Emmett pressed his lips, “All right. If you still don’t feel well later, do let me know. We shall go to the
hospital for a checkup.”
“Okay.”
Fortunately, the light above the audience seats was quite dim, so Emmett didn’t see anything wrong.
After Emmett withdrew his gaze, Stella turned to look at Clarence and frowned deeply. She said with
her lips, “Let go!”
Clarence pretended that he didn’t see it. Instead, he looked at the stage.
Stella inhaled deeply. Raising her foot, she stomped on his foot rudely.
She was wearing high heels today, so it might hurt a lot.
Sure enough, she heard the man groan next to her.
However, even so, he still didn’t release his grip on her hand.
This was the very first time that he was so shameless in Stella’s presence. She went furious.
When she was about to give him the second stomp, Clarence immediately let go of her hand.
Stella sneered. He deserved it.
After such a ridiculous event, Stella wasn’t in the mood to continue enjoying the concert. When Daniel
went off the stage to change his costume and get ready for the next program, she turned around and
whispered, “Emmett, I’m sorry. I have something urgent to deal with. I have to go now.”
After that, Stella stood up to leave.
Emmett immediately followed her, “Please let me give you a ride.”
When he passed by the seat, he surprisingly found that Clarence had taken Sherry’s seat. He looked
expressionless.
Being polite, Emmett slightly nodded at him as the greeting.
Seeing that they were gone one after another, Clarence licked his thin lips. He looked down at his palm
on which Stella’s temperature still remained. He also stood up and followed them.
Sherry sat on the seat and looked towards the exit, and then at the stage. In the end, she stomped and
chased them out.
In the corridor, Emmett asked, “Stella, are you still not well?”
Stella stopped, turned around, and shook her head, “No. It’s just something urgent happened.”
“Where are you going? Let me ride you home.”
“Nothing. Please don’t bother, Emmett. I can go there myself. You should go back to the concert.”
Emmett smiled, “I also want to get some fresh air and have a walk outside. Let me walk you to the
entrance.”
Upon hearing it, Stella couldn’t insist on refusing him. They walked towards the entrance together.
After a while, Emmett said, “Stella, if you are free tomorrow evening, may I invite you for a dinner?”
Stella thought for a moment. She felt quite embarrassed about her sudden leave today, “Yes, I’m free.
But it should be on me. I’m sorry for what happened today.”
“It’s alright. Please don’t take it so seriously.”
Stella said with a smile, “Okay. I’ll tell Sherry about it after going home. We’ll see you tomorrow then.”
“Stella, wait,” Emmett suddenly said, “I just want to have dinner with you alone tomorrow. Could you
please not tell Sherry?”
Stella was slightly taken aback.
Studying her expression carefully, Emmett asked tentatively, “Does it work?”
While Stella didn’t know what to answer, they heard a man’s cold voice behind their backs, “No, it
doesn’t.”
Emmett looked back, “Mr. Conrad?”
Clarence walked to Stella and stood next to her. He looked over at Emmett, “She’s occupied tomorrow.”
Stella asked, “Am I?”
Clarence pressed his thin lips as if he was quite happy about her response.
He cast her a glance, “I said you are occupied and I have the final say.”
Stella snorted. Then she curled up a smile at Emmett, “Okay, Emmett. I accepted it.”
Emmett hadn’t returned to his senses yet. Then he nodded, “Good. I’ll go pick you up tomorrow.”
Stella smiled, “All right. I’m taking off now. See you tomorrow.”
After finishing her words, Stella strode away.
When Clarence was about to chase after her, his arm was pulled. His face became colder, “Let go.”
Emmett asked, “Mr. Conrad, may I ask what you are doing now?”
“None of your business.”
“Why not? Mr. Conrad, I’m sure that you can tell I’m pursuing Stella now. If you are chasing after her,
we can have a fair competition. Mr. Conrad, but please don’t always be so aggressive. Please respect
her.”
Clarence withdrew his gaze and looked over at Emmett. Suddenly, he sorted, “Said who I’m chasing
after her?”
Emmett asked, “Mr. Conrad, could you explain reasonably about what you are doing?”
“Of course,” Clarence said slowly, “Just a kindly reminder, Mr. Carter. Stella is my wife. Please leave
her alone.”
Right then, they heard a whisper chime in, “Your ex-wife.”
Clarence was speechless.
When he looked over, Sherry immediately looked away. She pretended that nothing had happened.
She couldn’t have the heart to see the couple she match-made break up.
Upon hearing it, Emmett smiled, “I see.”
Clarence looked at him again, “Mr. Carter, now you’ve known my relationship with her. Would you still
keep pestering her?”
Emmett said, “I’ve heard that you had a wife, Mr. Conrad, and you didn’t like her at all. Have you
regretted divorcing her? Well, Mr. Conrad, now you are the one who kept pestering her.”
Clarence pulled his face longer and longer, staring daggers at Emmett.
Emmett continued, “Mr. Conrad, I do appreciate that you’ve told me this. Now I fully understand what
Stella has been through. I’ll treat her much better in the future to make up for the harm she received in
the past.”
After finishing his words, Emmett nodded at Clarence as a farewell and turned away.
Seeing that, Sherry trotted to follow him.
She was afraid if she continued staying here, Clarence the wretched man might kill her and made her
corpse vanish.
After they were gone, Nathan walked in and said, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad went that way.”
Clarence asked indifferently, “Do you also think that Stella has only received harm during the three-
year marriage with me?”
“Well...”
Nathan realized that the answer to this question mattered in his life.
If he gave a wrong answer, he might be doomed.
After thinking quickly for a few seconds, he said with hesitation, “Mr. Conrad, although you had
misunderstood Mrs. Conrad before, you cared about her occasionally.”
“For example?”
Nathan kept silent.
He couldn’t find any example to support his words.
Mr. Conrad could never speak nicely.
Although he had changed a lot, it was not difficult to tell that how many heartbreaking words he had
said to Mrs. Conrad during those three years.
Anyone who heard those words that Nathan had heard would crazily curse Mr. Conrad, let alone those
words when Mr. Conrad spoke when he was with Mrs. Conrad alone.
Seeing that Nathan kept silent, Clarence tightened his chin, lifted his foot, and walked out.
