“They are about to relocate overseas,” Clarence stated after a little pause, “Didn't I tell you?”
Stella, “…”
He hadn't said anything!
“It's fine if you wish to return; I, too, am afraid of being despised for visiting too often.” He continued.
Stella gritted her teeth, knowing that this wretched man did it on purpose.
“Alright, I was wrong,” she said, her hands on his arms turning to embrace him.
“What?”
“I said you were loathsome.” Stella raised her voice.
He looked at her hands, leaned forward and said beside her ears, "But you're embracing me tightly."
Stella let go immediately.
Clarence grinned as he approached the playground, holding her hand.
Amanda was spotted sitting in the parents' waiting area with the baby, as she had done previously.
As Amanda looked up, Stella noticed the man who had come to get them last time.
When Amanda saw them, she stood up and said, "Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil."
Stella looked at her and smiled as she greeted her.
After a brief chat, Amanda then excused herself to go get some water before handing the baby over to
Stella.
Stella who sat on the bench with the baby in her arms smiled delightfully.
The baby, too, was overjoyed to see her, raising his hands in the air.
Stella then removed a toy from the stroller and put it in his hands.
Stella called, "Mr. Conrad," as the baby was on the toy.
“Yes?”
“Don't you think he resembles you?”
Clarence cast a chilly gaze at the baby in her arms and said, "Does he?"
Stella nodded as she continued, "It wasn't evident before, but the more he grows, the more he looks
like you."
“At that point, you should start worrying.”
"Why should I..."
She realized what he was saying and took a seat further away from him with the baby.
“I was only joking,” he said smiling as he rested his hand on her shoulder.
Stella just intended to test him again; this baby bore no resemblance to him.
“What about Evelyn if they're moving overseas?” she said after a while.
“She stays.”
“Alone?” Stella frowned.
“You should ask them; I'm not sure,” Clarence stated.
“Oh,” she said, sighing.
She couldn't question Amanda about it, she would only ask Clarence.
Her gaze was fixed on the baby in her arms again. Her hands that were holding him tightened.
Although she had not known him for long, fate brought them together. He appeared right at the moment
when she lost her child.
She had the notion that this might be her child.
But she had to accept the reality that he was not.
After a while, she put the baby back into the stroller.
Clarence asked, “She’s not back yet, why did you put him back?”
Stella stared at the baby for quite a while before turning away and shook her head. “Since they are
relocating overseas, we won’t meet again, what’s the point of keep holding him? It’s better to let go
earlier.” She sounded sad.
Clarence looked deeply at her, moving his lips.
After a few seconds, he said again, “They are just migrating; it doesn’t mean they will be gone forever.
Or I can bring you over to see them.”
“There’s no need, let’s bid farewell here.” Stella rejected.
It was also a final farewell to his baby that didn’t get the chance to see this world.
“It’s just migrating, not that serious.”
Stella gazed at him, “You don’t understand.”
It meant her fate with the baby stopped here since they are moving overseas. There was no point in
forcing it and troubled others.
Clarence might have noticed her thought and said after a moment. “If they didn’t move?”
“Well, then I’ll…” She paused, “They are not moving?”
Clarence looked away, “I’m just saying, migrate is not an easy task, there might be reasons that cause
them to stay.”
Stella frowned, why he changed one second after another.
Amanda came back with a few bottles at this time.
She gave one bottle to Stella, “Sorry I was away for quite some time, here you go, drink some water,
Ms. Radomil.”
Stella smiled, “It’s alright, we should go now.”
Amanda nodded, “Goodbye, Ms. Radomil.”
“Goodbye.”
Stella glanced at the little guy in the stroller before taking off. There was something she wanted to say
but didn't.
Stella walked aimlessly at the mall after they departed the playground.
Clarence followed behind, sunken in his thinking.
Stella saw the restroom sign after a while and turned to Clarence. “Mr. Conrad, wait for me here, I need
the restroom.”
“Okay.”
Clarence watched as she disappeared and then took out his mobile and made a call.
Maxwell answered the call, “Mr. Conrad, everything is ready, when do you want me to send Amanda
away?”
“There’s no need.”
Maxwell stunned. “You mean…”
Clarence said casually, “Let her stay and keep an eye on her and her boyfriend.”
“Yes,” Maxwell said.
Clarence gazed at the mobile after hung up with his lips closed tight.
Stella came out after a few minutes and said, “Let’s go.”
Clarence grabbed her wrist after a few steps, “That way.”
Stella turned to look in the direction, “This is the way out.”
“We are not going out.”
“Huh?”
“I’ve bought movie tickets, let’s go to the cinema.”
Clarence then led her forward heading to the cinema.
Stella thought for a while and agreed that it had been long since the last time they watched a movie
together, so she went along.
Clarence selected the movie randomly and it turned out to be a tragic romance movie.
It began with the female lead sent to the emergency room due to miscarriage while the male lead cried
holding her hands apologizing nonstop. He swore that there was nothing between him and another
woman, it was merely for fun.
The female lead closed her eyes, removed the ring and threw it at the male lead.
Stella, “…”
Clarence, “…”
