There came the fragrance of rice and dishes from inside the house.
Hearing the footsteps at the door, Dolores walked out of the house, “Stella, Clare, take a seat first. The
meal will be ready soon.”
Stella said, “Ms. Anderson, let me help you.”
After finishing the words, she took of her coat, handed it to Clarence and then walked into the kitchen.
Clarence took the coat from her and raised his brows.
Dolores said, “You don’t need to help me. I will finish it soon.”
“You must have gone to bed at this point of time in usual times. It’s so late now, yet we still come to
bother you.”
“It’s not a big deal. I live here alone and no one can talk to me in usual times. I’m so happy that you can
visit me.”
“Ms. Anderson, are you living here alone?”
Dolores replied as if she hadn’t noticed anything weird, “Yeah, what’s the matter?”
Stella smiled and shook her head, “Nothing. It’s just that I remember Ms. Beckham told me she wanted
to live with you, so I think you two…”
“Evelyn?” Dolores took out some chopsticks while saying, “You also know that Evelyn can’t bear boring
life. This place is too quiet for her. She bought a package tour for the olds and went to travel after living
here for a period. She’s now having a good time.”
Stella didn’t ask any question when she heard this.
As expected, she had thought too much.
After the meal, Dolores said, “It’s late now. I’ve cleaned the room. You two shall go upstairs and have a
rest.”
As she had had a sleep on the way here, Stella was sleepless now. She gathered the plates and bowls,
“Ms. Anderson, you may go to bed now. I will wash these.”
“Okay.”
Dolores came back to her bedroom after finishing the words.
Stella gathered the dishes and took them to the kitchen. When she prepared to wash the dishes, the
bowl in her hand was snatched.
Clarence said, “Go to the sofa. I will wash it.”
Stella didn’t want to dampen her mood and prayed for these dishes in her heart.
She then walked out of the kitchen and sat on the sofa. In five minutes, she heard the breaking sounds
of two dishes.
One was from a plate and the other was from a spoon.
Stella had been accustomed to it and she didn’t even lift her head.
Twenty minutes later, Clarence finally walked out of the kitchen with a gloomy face.
Stella complimented him sincerely, “It’s good. At least you just broke one plate and a spoon today.”
“Shut up.”
Stella uncontrollably curled her lips into her smile, feeling her mood improved.
Clarence took off his necktie with one hand, “I will go to take a shower.”
Only then did Stella realize that his shirt was half wet.
He was so awesome that he could even get himself messy while washing the dishes.
“Wait…” Stella hurriedly stopped him, “Is there only one room left?”
Clarence took several steps and turned around to look at her, “Or else?”
Stella couldn’t help but pout. She had expected this.
When Clarence went upstairs, Stella was still sitting on the sofa with her arms around her knees. She
was looking out of the windows, seeming to be pondering something.
Right at this moment, the door of a bedroom was pushed opened and Dolores walked out of the room,
“Oh, you haven’t slept yet.”
Stella pulled herself together, “Ms. Anderson.”
Dolores sat beside her, “Is your work arduous recently? You’ve lost so much weight.”
Stella smiled, “It’s the summer so I need to lose my weight.”
“Nonsense. You’re already so slim, is it necessary for you to lose weight?”
Stella asked, “Ms. Anderson, you live here alone. Are you accustomed to it?”
Dolores replied in a flat tone, “I’ve been living alone for a long time. It’s the same no matter in where I’m
living. I’ve accustomed to it.”
This made sense.
After a short while, Stella asked, “Ms. Anderson, have you been living here after leaving Anqiao
Street?”
Dolores replied after a short while of paused, “I once lived in the other place.”
Stella’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Where?”
“Still in Aqock. But I was not accustomed to it and I moved to this place.”
The lights in Stella’s eyes gradually became dim. Several seconds later, she nodded her head and sat,
“Actually Aqock is a bit noisy. Anqiao Street is the quietest place.”
Dolores replied with a nasal sound, “What about you? The news has attracted great attention on the
Internet. Does it have any impact on you?”
Stella replied, “It doesn’t have a great impact to me. It’s just that it’s so noisy that troubles come to me
one by one, seeming to have no end.”
“You can sort out those things one by one slowly. There will be an end one day.”
Stella said, “Ms. Anderson, would you like to move back to City N and live with us when all these
matters are solved?”
Dolores smiled, “I will decide it later.”
Stella although understood the habit of living alone. Although sometimes she might feel lonely, it was
better than facing those annoying things in life.
Therefore, sometimes it was good to live alone.
Dolores stood up, “All right, I have to go to bed now. You should go to bed early do. You will come back
to City N early in the next morning, right?”
Stella nodded her head, “I see. Good night, Ms. Anderson.”
When Dolores came back to her bedroom, Stella also went upstairs. When she just opened the door,
she saw Clarence walking out of the washroom with wet black hair.
Their eyes met in the air.
Stella, “…”
She asked in disbelief, “Why are you naked?”
“My clothes are wet.”
He replied righteously.
Stella’s ears got red, “Can’t you… can’t you find a cloth to cover it?”
Clarence asked, “Which part haven’t you seen?”
Unable to outspeak him, Stella directly walked into the washroom.
Although she didn’t bring clothes for changing either, at least her clothes were dry and she could still
wear them after taking a shower. It didn’t matter even though it was a bit dirty, as it was better than
wearing nothing like that wretched man.
When Stella walked out after taking a shower, she found Clarence had lain on the bed.
Stella’s eyelids twitched. She didn’t want to sleep with him.
She lay down on the edge of the bed, trying her best to keep a distance away from Clarence.
But after a short while, a hot body clung to her.
The man’s breathes landed on her heard when he said in a husky and charming voice, “Why are you
still wearing these clothes?”
Stella tried to withstand it and said, “I didn’t change my clothes.”
“Then you should take off them. They’re odorous.”
Stella clenched her clothes tightly to stop his action, “You will not smell it as long as you’re not so close
to me.”
Clarence, “…”
He cajoled her in a low voice, “I will not smell it if you take off your clothes.”
Stella knew what he wanted to do. She knitted her brows and said in a low voice, “Do you want to have
sex here? Come on, we have nothing here.”
Clarence kissed her forehead, “Isn’t it good for us to have another baby?”
“That’s not good.”
“Why?”
Stella turned her back to him, “I don’t want to give birth to a baby.”
Clarence pulled her back, “But you like kids, right?”
Stella replied after a short while of silence, “That’s different. Although I like kids, what matters if I can’t
protect the baby well? If I give birth to a baby just because of I like kids regardless of the possible
consequence, such a behavior is very irresponsible.”
“Is it that serious?”
Stella couldn’t help but kick him when hearing his casual tone, “Give birth to one if you want a baby so
much.”
Stella replied after a short while of silence, “That’s different. Although | like kids, what matters if | can't
protect the baby well? If | give birth to a baby just because of | like kids regardless of the possible
consequence, such a behavior is very irresponsible.”
“Is it that serious?”
Stella couldn't help but kick him when hearing his casual tone, “Give birth to one if you want a baby so
much.”
