After hearing his words, she had a sudden urge to ask him what is happening but she abandoned the
thought after consideration.
If that wretched man wanted to tell the truth, he wouldn’t wait until she asked about it, he even wouldn’t
make use of so many people to deceive her.
After some time had passed, Stella suddenly spoke with an unprecedented formal tone, “Clarence
Conrad, let’s have a child.”
Clarence who was on the other side of the phone acknowledged her words with a questioning tone in
his voice.
Stella did not wait for his reply and said calmly, “Are you against the idea? If so, forget about it.”
After a long time, Clarence said, “It is not that I am against the idea. Can you first tell me the reason? If
you have a valid reason, I can help to turn your idea of having a child into reality every day."
Stella ignored his indecent remarks and said slowly, “I had a dream last night.”
“Hmmm?”
“I dreamed about the child we lost due to the car accident. In my dream, he kept smiling and calling me
mother. It felt so real that he seemed to have not left us. Maybe he is somewhere in this world, living
healthily.”
Clarence replied, “It looks like you are under a lot of stress. When I come back, I will accompany you to
see someone that can interpret your dreams.”
Stella responded, “Sure. I am sleepy. Bye.”
After she had finished her sentence, she ended the call without any hesitation.
Stella looked at the phone in front of her. It was displaying the details of the phone call just now.
She kicked her phone to the side of the bed and slept with the blanket over her head.
……
After waking up from a good night’s sleep, she could feel that sleeping early was certainly more
comfortable than her usual routine of sleeping late.
To avoid seeing Phoebe and Charles, she went out early.
After she had arrived at her studio, she put down her things and went to the storage room to sort out
some items.
When she came out of the room, she saw a staff walking towards the studio while hugging a huge
bouquet of roses, “May I know who is…”
Sherry stood in front of him, “I am the person you are looking for. I am not accepting this. You can
return this to him. Thank you.”
The staff of the flower shop was taken aback. “Are couple fights these days so intense?” he thought to
himself.
Sherry continued to speak, “Tell him to stop sending all sorts of things. I will never forgive him. Never
ever!”
The flower shop staff seemed to be in a tight situation and said eventually, “Ms. Radomil, if you don’t
accept this, we cannot answer to our customers. Please don’t be angry…”
“Wait a minute,” Sherry interrupted. She asked with a confused face, “Who is this bouquet of flowers
for?”
The staff looked at the card included with the flowers, “This is for Ms. Radomil, aren’t you Ms.
Radomil?”
Sherry could not answer his question.
Sherry covered her face with both hands and ran into Stella’s office.
She was too embarrassed to see anyone.
The staff scratched his head, looked around the studio and asked, “May I know who is Ms. Radomil?”
Stella walked forward and let out an inaudible sigh, “Give it to me.”
“Sure. Please sign here.”
After sending the flowers, he finished his task and exited the office immediately.
Two girls surrounded Stella and said enviously, “Stella, Mr. Conrad treats you so well. He has gone on
a business trip but never forgets to send you flowers. He is so romantic.”
Stella laughed humourlessly. “Is it romantic? That wretched man has a guilty conscience, hasn’t he?”
she thought to herself.
When Stella entered her office while hugging the flowers, Sherry screamed miserably and laid her head
down on the desk, “Today is not my day.”
Stella placed the flowers on the small table beside her and asked, “Did something happen without my
knowledge?”
Sherry answered lifelessly, “My life is too miserable.”
Yesterday afternoon, since Stella had gone out, Sherry had a terrible time.
Daniel ordered afternoon tea for everyone in the studio and then offered free piano lessons to whoever
wants to learn to play piano.
Anyway, he treated their studio as his house. He continued to come and go as he pleased and acted
like it was not a big deal.
Sherry could not tolerate his behaviour anymore and when she was going to talk about his actions with
him in person, he disappeared. After a while, someone came to her while hugging a bouquet of flowers.
He said that it was for her from Mr. Daniel as a sign of apology.
As a result, when she saw that someone had sent flowers to the studio, she supposed that …
After she had finished talking, Sherry whimpered while lying on the desk. She was unwilling to face
reality.
It was fine if Stella was the one who had seen it. The problem was the other girls in the studio had
witnessed the scene too. In the future, how was she going to conduct herself in front of them?
After listening to Sherry, Stella laughed and patted Sherry on the shoulder, “It is fine. It is actually not a
serious matter. You can rest here for a while before you leave the room.”
Sherry remained unhappy for a while. She lifted her head all of a sudden, “Eh, something is wrong.
Why are you and Mr. Conrad quarrelling again?”
Stella was almost unable to react to the sudden change of topic, paused for a while and said, “We are
not quarrelling.”
Sherry sneered, “I give you my opinion. In my opinion, there are no good men in this world. Seeing that
he have sent you flowers, he must have done something to let you down.” After giving it some thought,
she said warningly, “Could it be that he is in a relationship with a blonde young woman overseas?”
Stella refused to answer Sherry’s question.
But Stella agreed with the first part of Sherry’s reply.
Stella breathed air out of her lungs, “It is nothing like that.”
“Then, what is the reason?”
“I think that Clarence is hiding something from me the whole time. Every time I feel that I am close to
the truth, everything that is happening in front of me seems to be undoubtedly true and reminds me that
I am only overthinking.”
She could not find that crucial piece of evidence from the beginning and as a result, she could not
confirm her suspicions. It would only stay as a suspicion.
She had no substantial evidence.
And so she could not carry out any actual actions.
Sherry adjusted her posture and rested her chin on her folded arms, “You can’t say this for sure. If he is
hiding something from you on purpose, you will definitely be unaware of the truth. But if…”
Stella let out an inaudible sigh and continued Sherry’s sentence, “If I am overthinking it, I am being
unreasonable.”
Sherry consoled her, “You can’t say that. Let’s do it like this. If you really have suspicions, you can try to
look into it. Do it twice if it doesn’t work once. If that wretched man is really keeping something under
wraps, he cannot hide it perfectly every time.”
After she had heard Sherry’s words, Stella thought her words made sense.
Do it twice if it doesn’t work once.
Besides, she went there just yesterday. They would never expect her to come again today.
Stella nodded, “You are right. I will try again.”
Since Clarence was not in the country, she had more time and opportunities to investigate.
Sherry rested her head on the table weakly again, “It is great that you have figured it out. I will sleep
here for a while. Carry on with what you were doing. Don’t be bothered by me.”
Stella tapped her head softly, “You should sleep. I will wake you up when it is time for lunch.”
