Watching them leaving, Maxwell then came over, “Ms. Radomil, are you okay?”
Stella shook her head, “I’m fine.”
She turned around and looked at Elaine, “How do you feel?”
Elaine showed Stella her red wrist and pouted, “It hurts.”
Stella comforted her, “I will apply some medicine on it when we come back and you’ll feel better
tomorrow.”
Elaine immediately regained her smile, “Thank you, Stella.”
Sherry walked over in strides, “Stella, what’s going on? If it wasn’t that I saw Maxwell and the other
men, I would have called the police as I was so scared.”
Stella replied, “Not a big deal. They were sent by her family and they wanted to take her home”
Sherry heaved a sigh of relief, “Thank god it’s not kidnapping, but they’re so scaring.”
Maxwell explained, “They have been wandering around City N recently. I guess they’ve been anxious.”
Elaina lowered her head without saying anything.
Stella said, “Let’s go back.”
Maxwell said, “I will follow you behind. Ms. Radomil, please call me if you have any problems.”
“Okay.”
After coming back home, Sherry took a bite of the apple while looking at the two men opposite her.
Stella poured some medicinal liquor on her palm, rubbed it against her palm until it turned warm, and
then began to rub Elaine’s wrist.
Although they didn’t dare to use too much strength as they were afraid that they would hurt Elaine,
since Elaine’s skin was tender and she struggled violently, there were many red marks on her wrist.
Stella rubbed her wrist and said after a long while, “Elaine, have you called your dad?”
Elaine shook her head and then said in a low voice, “I’m afraid that he would criticize me.”
“Your dad will criticize you because he’s worried about you.”
“But I really don’t want to come back. If I come back to Riverside, I will lose my freedom and I will have
to stay there for the rest of my life.”
Stella said, “I know what’s in your mind. Even if you want to stay here, you have to make it clear with
your dad. Otherwise, this situation will happen again and you will get hurt in the end.”
Elaine realized she was wrong and didn’t speak.
After a long while, Elaine broke the silence, “I see. I will call him later.”
Stella chuckled, “Be calm when talking to him. Don’t quarrel with him.”
Elaine nodded her head obediently.
Stella said, “Then I will prepare the meal. If you’re hungry, eat some fruits. Don’t eat the snacks.”
“Okay.”
Stella stood up, put the medicinal liquor into the medical box and then walked into the kitchen to wash
her hands.
Sherry hurriedly followed behind her and said with disbelief, “She’s so willing to listen to your advice.”
Stella replied, “It’s not that she’s willing to accept my advice, it’s that she...”
Stella then looked out of the kitchen and then said in a low voice, “She’s homesick.”
Although Elaine insisted that she wouldn’t come back to Riverside, after all, she was just a little girl who
had never left her family, so it was normal for her to get unaccustomed to this strange place when the
feeling of freshness gradually faded away.
At this moment, her homesickness would surge.
Although Elaine didn’t show it, Stella could still perceive it after getting alone with her for several days.
It was because of this that Elaine was absent-minded on the way back after the two men left, who
came to take her back according to her father’s instruction.
Sherry said, “That makes sense. Although she claims that she hates Riverside, she had lived in that
pace for twenty years.”
Stella nodded her head, “Okay.”
Sherry heaved a long sigh, “By the way, I also want to go back home to have a look. But my mom will
kill me when she finds out I’m pregnant.”
Stella asked, “Haven’t you told your mom about this?”
“I don’t dare to. Getting pregnant before marriage... You’re also clear of my relationship with Daniel...
Emm... Anyway, my mother will kill me if she learns about it.” Sherry leaned against the wall and began
to daydream it, “Stella, if I take the baby to visit my mom after its birth, will she be surprised? After all,
she told me she wanted a grandson several years ago.”
“I think she may be frightened.”
Sherry was lost for words.
Alas...
Stella said while washing the vegetables, “It happened that I will stay in the studio in this period. Would
you like to come back to have look and tell your mom about this?”
“Er... Nope... I still want to be alive.”
Stella chuckled. She pondered for a while and then said, “Then you can wait until Daniel comes back
and let him visit your mom with you. Even if your mom will get very angry, at least you will not have to
face it alone.”
Sherry’s eyes lit up, “Good idea.”
As they delayed some time because of that accident, and it was late after Stella cooked the dinner and
finished it.
Elaine and Sherry kept yawning
When Elaine prepared to wash the dishes, Stella said, “Let me wash them today. You shall come back
and have a good rest.”
”Oh, but Clarence said that I have to do the housework every day.”
”It doesn’t matter. It’s a special situation was you were hurt today”
Sherry embraced Stella and rubbed her head against Stella’s shoulder, “Thank you, Stella. That’s so
kind of you.”
Stella chuckled, “All right. Go back for a sleep.”
“Good night, Stella.”
After Elaine’s leaving, Stella said to Sherry, “Sherry, you shall also come back and have a rest earlier. If
you feel uncomfortable, just call me.”
Sherry nodded her head, “Then good night.”
”Good night.”
Then Stella was the only one left in the house. Stella chuckled when noticing the dishes on the table,
which had been changed several times as they were broken, and then collected the dishes and took
them into the kitchen.
After washing the dishes, Stella took her clothes into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, when she walked out of the bathroom, she heard someone entering the password of
the door.
Stella thought it was because Sherry or Elaine forgot to take away their things, so she walked over and
opened the door.
When the door was opened, her gaze met with Clarence’s in the air.
Stella was stunned, “Why do you come back so early today?”
Clarence withdrew his hand from the doorknob and walked into the house, “I heard from Maxwell that
some members of the James family came to find you.”
Stella closed the door and replied, “But luckily, they didn’t take away Elaine and she was just lightly
hurt. I applied some medicine on her wound and it will be cured tomorrow.”
Clarence turned around to look at her, “What about you?”
“Me? I’m fine.”
Clarence took the towel from Stella and helped her dry her hair. He then said slowly, “Don’t come over
rashly if you encounter such a matter next time. This time it was the James family that wanted to take
Elaine back, but what if they were kidnappers?”
Stella was suddenly lost for words
Clarence continued to dry her hair, “So run as farthest away as possible next time.”
Stella’s hair became messy because of Clarence’s action. She pulled down the tower, “I see. I will. I will
immediately run away if I encounter this next time and no one will be able to catch me.”
Clarence burst into laughter when he heard the words. His chest heaved up and down slightly and it
seemed like he was in a good mood.
It was the first time for Stella to hear his laughter during this period.
Stella looked up at him “Have you solved the affairs in your company?”
“It will be done soon.” Clarence only take down the towel when seeing that Stella’s hair was no longer
wet, “It will be solved in half a month at most. Didn’t you say you want to go out for fun before? I will
accompany you half a month later?”
Stella, “Are you going to leave your company behind?”
Clarence replied blandly, “Yes.”
