Clarence answered calmly, “Beg me for help.”
“I’m begging you.”
“That’s too perfunctory.”
Stella felt that her hands were about to twitch. She suppressed the impulse to curse him. “You can help
me to climb down first. In my current situation, I can’t do anything except verbally thanking you
perfunctorily.”
Clarence said, “You can thank me verbally.”
Stella was confused.
Clarence looked up at her, his eyes full of burning heat. “Think it over. What should you address me?”
‘The wretched man? Asshole? Clarence the Exploiter?’ Stella wondered.
She didn’t think it would be appropriate.
Seeing that Stella still kept silent, Clarence said, “Call me and I’ll help you come down.”
Stella withdrew her gaze, her heart hammering.
She understood what the wretched man meant, but she couldn’t call him that way at all.
Even during their three-year marriage, she had never called him that way, let alone right now.
While Stella hesitated, her legs started trembling. She almost fell down.
She suddenly felt that she had set herself up.
Clarence was standing right in the trap, waiting for her.
After a short while, Stella quickly called him.
Clarence raised his brows. “What did you say? I can’t hear it.”
Stella’s ears were reddened and burning.
Gritting her teeth, she called him vaguely, “Honey.”
After a pause, she added in a weak tone, “Please.”
Clarence curled up his thin lips. He walked over and got her down.
She was unwilling to call him that way no matter how he tortured her while making love last time.
Stella fell into his arms directly.
She was prone on Clarence’s shoulders, wishing she could perish with the wretched man together.
Fortunately, there was no one else around. Otherwise, she would be deadly regretful.
Not far away from the scene, Phoebe witnessed what happened. She sneered and left.
Clarence helped Stella take off the protective clothing with a smile on his face. “It’s indeed exciting. I’ll
bring you here again next time.”
Stella didn’t think she would come back. The wretched man could come here alone.
If the time could be turned back to the previous day, Stella would definitely not agree to a date with him.
She doubted if she were nuts when doing it.
Clarence rubbed her trembling arms. “Are you feeling better?”
“Nope. I want to go home now.”
Clarence ignored it. He whispered, “You lack exercise. I’ve told you that you are quite weak, but you
refused to admit it.”
Stella curled her lips, not in the mood to argue with him.
Clarence kept rubbing all fours for her. After a while, he asked, “All right. Do you want to try anything
else?”
“No. I want to go home.”
Clarence looked at her, his eyes darkened with implication. “Are you sure?”
Stella let out a hollow laugh. “Not really. I’m just kidding. Let’s go to...”
Before she finished her words, she heard some cheers not far away.
She immediately asked, “What’s going on there? Let’s check it out.”
That was a velodrome over there.
A race had just finished.
When Stella and Clarence walked over, they saw Vincent get off from a racing car. He took off the
helmet and clicked his tongue. “I must admit that I’m old. I can’t win against you youngsters.”
Someone answered, “Mr. James, you are so modest. You got second place because the racetrack was
changed. Otherwise, you would still win the first place.”
Vincent raised his hand and laughed. “All right. All right. Stop flattering me. That’s too much.”
Stella hadn’t seen anything, but Clarence grabbed her hand and whispered, “Let’s go.”
However, it was still too late.
Behind the crowd, Vincent saw them from afar. He walked over while asked, “What has brought down
you here today, Mr. Conrad?”
As he spoke, he looked over at Stella and added meaningfully, “It turns out you are accompanied by a
beauty.”
Stella finally understood why Clarence wanted to take her away from here.
Vincent didn’t sound like a decent man.
She believed that Vincent also had taught Clarence some ridiculous things before.
Since Vincent greeted Clarence in that way, most people in the club all knew that Clarence was here.
They started to look at Stella, who was standing next to him.
Clarence cast a cold glance at Vincent, and the latter knew that he had done something wrong. Vincent
coughed and passed his helmet to a man next to him. “You guys keep on. I’ll show Mr. Conrad around.”
After that, he greeted Stella. “Ms. Radomil, long time no see.”
Stella slightly nodded in response.
After walking for a while, Vincent took a look at Clarence. Obviously, he wanted to talk to Clarence.
Clarence pressed his thin lips and paused. Looking at Stella, he asked, “What would you like to drink?
I’ll get it for you.”
“Anything would be fine.”
“Wait for me here. I’ll be right back.”
Vincent said, “Ms. Radomil, well... I’m going with him. You can walk around here.”
Stella smiled and nodded in agreement. “Sure.”
After they were gone, she moved under the leafy shade. She called Sherry, asking how her mother was
doing.
Sherry answered, “She’s much better now. The doctor said that she could go home in a few days. How
about you? What are you doing now?”
Stella whispered to answer, “I’m outside.”
Upon hearing it, Sherry tentatively asked, “Are you dating someone?”
Stella was silent.
She wondered why Sherry could guess so correctly.
Since Stella didn’t answer, Sherry knew that she was right. She grinned and said, “How is it going?
Where did you go for the date?”
Stella didn’t think she could tell Sherry everything on the phone.
After chatting for a short while, Sherry’s mother was calling her, so they hung up the phone.
Right then, the sunshine fell among the clouds, shining quietly.
It became warmer.
The spring seemed to have come.
Stella felt a bit bored while standing there, so she walked along the pavement under the sunshine.
Before she took a few steps, she heard a neigh behind.
When Stella looked back, she saw a horse galloping towards her.
It was only a few meters away from her already.
Stella couldn’t hide from it at all. When the horse was about to bump into her, she fell into a warm
embrace. With the impact of the inertia, they rolled on the ground several times before finally stopping.
Clarence’s voice was heard above her head. “Did you get hurt?”
Stella came back to her senses and stood up immediately. “I’m all right. How are you doing?”
Clarence lay on the ground. He was silent for a moment and answered, “I’m not well.”
Upon hearing it, Stella was so frightened that her heart almost popped out. She immediately checked
up his body but she dared not to touch him at all. “Is your bone broken? Or anything else? I... I’ll call
the ambulance...”
When she pulled out the cell phone, Clarence grabbed her hand. “It’s not that serious. Call me honey
again, I’ll be fine.”
Stella was speechless.
She pushed him in anger.
The wretched man even was in a mood to kid with her at this moment.
The employees of the horse ranch rushed over. Seeing the scene, they almost freaked out. One of
them said, “Mr... Mr. Conrad...”
Clarence slowly sat up, looking cold and fierce. Even he didn’t speak, his angry and overbearing
temperament already made them feel hard to breathe.
Vincent calmed the horse down. He walked over and asked with a frown, “What
happened?”
