Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Stella felt the way to the toilet a great torture for her.

She even regretted putting forward this excuse.

When Stella was regretting it inwardly, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. Before she could

react, she was pulled to a corner aside.

Looking at the man with coldness written all over his face, Stella subconsciously took a step backward,

“Mr. Conrad, didn’t you say that you want to go to the toilet?”

Clarence looked askance at her and said in an extremely calm voice, “Why didn’t you believe in my

words before?”

“…”

Why did this wretched man suddenly mention other matters?

Stella shifted her gaze, “Mr. Conrad, please, I…”

Clarence put one hand beside her to obstruct her way, “Stella Radomil, how long has I left?”

It sounded like he was denouncing her. Stella subconsciously knitted her brows, “Mr. Conrad, what do

you mean? Should I obtain your permit before having a meal with my friend?”

“Are you sure that Emmett only regards you as a friend?”

“It has nothing to do with you.”

Clarence fixed his black eyes on her and said word by word, “You told me you love me before. Why

does it have no relationship with me?”

“When did I say that? It’s you who…”

“It doesn’t matter no matter who said it. What matters is this thing.”

Clarence didn’t want to quarrel with him because this wretched man was so good at justifying an

unreasonable thing.

But Clarence didn’t intend to let her leave; instead, he narrowed his confinement of her and asked in a

low voice, “I left for several days. Do you miss me?”

Stella was rendered speechless.

Was he an insane?

Stella said seriously, “Mr. Conrad, please behave yourself and mind the impact it may have. We’re in

other people’s house.”

Several seconds later, Clarence said, “I miss you.”

Stella was stunned as she hadn’t expected that Clarence would suddenly say these sweet words to

her.

Clarence had been like this during this period – he would make her lost for words from time to time.

She even found it hard to start an argument with her.

Right at this moment, Emmett’s voice sounded from afar, “Stella?”

Stella instantly came back to her own sense. She didn’t know where she should look at and was so

nervous at the moment.

Clarence put his hand into his pocket and curled his lips into a smile.

Emmett walked over. Before he asked, Clarence said in a clam voice, “She got lost and I came to find

her.”

Emmett slightly pressed his lips, yet he didn’t point out his lie in the end, “It’s in the front. Follow me.”

When Emmett turned around, Stella trampled Clarence’s foot fiercely.

Clarence was caught out of the guard and moaned silently.

Emmett turned around when he heard the sound. Seeing Clarence’s knitted brows, he asked, “Mr.

Conrad, what’s wrong?”

Stella smiled at him, “Maybe he feel uncomfortable. He will feel better soon. Let’s go first.”

Emmett nodded his head. Before leaving, he said good-intentionally, “There’re some maids here. Mr.

Conrad, if you’re lost, you can ask them.”

After finishing the words, he left together with Stella.

Clarence’s temples thumped. Looking at their backs, he gritted his teeth.

When walking, Emmett turned around to have a look and then paused.

Stella also stopped when she sensed this, “What’s the matter?”

Emmett pressed his lips, “Stella, actually I want to tell you one thing long ago.”

Stella said, “I also have one thing to tell you.”

“Then let me say it first.”

He was afraid that he would not be able to say those words to Stella if she said it first.

Stella slowly nodded her head.

Emmett said, “Maybe you’ve perceived it. I don’t know how to tell you, so I only choose to tell you now.

Maybe…” He suddenly chuckled, “Maybe it’s because I’m afraid of your refusal.”

“Emmett…”

“Stella, please let me finish my words first.” Emmett continued, “I’ve been fallen for you for many years.

When Horace was staying by your side, I saw the sincere and bright smile on your face, so I’ve never

thought of bothering you. But now, I get the chance again and I don’t want to miss it.”

Stella replied after several seconds’ silence, “I’m sorry.”

“Stella, you don’t need to apologize to me. I choose to confess to you at this point of time because I

want you to know about my attitude. I won’t require you to give me your answer immediately. I know

that Mr. Conrad is also pursuing you recently, so I hope that you can give me an opportunity for fair

competition.”

Stella curled her lips into a light smile, “He’s not pursuing me. He’s just making a fuss self-willfully.”

“No matter what, I can see that Mr. Conrad likes you.”

Stella didn’t reply.

Emmett continued, “All right, I feel much more relaxed after confessing to you. Stella, what do you want

to tell me?”

Stella pondered for a while, “Emmett, thanks for your favor. But at present I…”

Knowing that she was refusing him, Emmett interrupted her, “I told you that you don’t need to tell me

your answer right away. It doesn’t matter even though you don’t like me now, because maybe you will

fall for me one day. People’s feelings are different every day. I will try hard to get your love.”

Emmett continued, “Stella, please give me a chance. And give yourself a chance too.”

Stella slowly raised her head when she heard the words. She moved her lips, yet was lost for words.

When they went back to the dining hall, Clarence had come back and sat down.

Clarence took a glance at them and asked in a cold voice, “Mr. Conrad, are you lost?”

Emmett smiled, “It’s hard to walk to there in the evening. Mr. Conrad, looks like you’re uncomfortable.

Shall I ask them to send you some medicine?”

“Mr. Carter, looks like you’re so familiar with Mr. Thomas. I guess you must have visited him frequently.”

Emmett replied meaningfully, “Not that familiar. It’s just that we knew each other long ago, at least

before you, Mr. Conrad.”

Clarence gradually pulled a long face. With his thin lips pressed together, his black eyes were tinged

with a touch of coldness.

Seeing that the two men had a spat again, Stella felt her head aching.

Cameron didn’t understand what was going on. He asked William in a low voice, “Are they fighting for

who knew me first?”

William chuckled. He added some tea to Cameron’s cup and shifted the topic, “I heard that Ms.

Radomil is running a studio. May I have the honor to visit it?”

Stella nodded her head, “That’s my pleasure.”

William said, “Is it convenient for me to visit it tomorrow afternoon?”

“Yep. Mr. William, you can come whenever you like.”

Clarence said slowly, “I’m free tomorrow afternoon. I can accompany you, Mr. William.”

Stella was rendered speechless.

William smiled, “It’s my great honor if you can go with me, Mr. Conrad.”

Emmett wanted to get a word in, but he perceived a glance from the man sitting opposite to him. He

clenched his fists and didn’t say anything in the end.
