More than a year ago, when Stella said “wish you a happy divorce” to Clarence, she had never thought
that they would wish each other happy marriage again one day.
She felt so amazed.
It seemed that God had the plan for them already.
After dinner, they lay on the sofa. Clarence took Stella’s hand, appreciating the ring on her finger. “I
thought you’d wear the other one today.”
Stella nestled on his chest, following his gaze. “This one is good enough.”
“Hmm?”
“Although that ring has special meanings, this one is different because you gave it to me when
proposing to me.” Stella paused and added, “That one is too expensive. I’m afraid to lose it.”
Clarence was speechless.
He said, “The last two sentences are unnecessary.”
Stella burst into laughter.
They didn’t speak again, leaning against each other in peace, enjoying this quiet moment.
After a while, Stella asked, “Have you found any news about Daniel?”
“Not yet.”
She frowned slightly. “You must hurry up. Or, Sherry will go blind date with another man.”
Clarence asked, “Do you want her to be with Daniel?”
“They like each other, don’t they? Shouldn’t they...”
“But you should know. Their feelings for each other won’t last long. It’s not strong enough to bring them
to marriage.”
Stella parted her lips but couldn’t retort.
Clarence added, “Sherry’s parents wished her to find a man who has a stable job and treats her well.
He shouldn’t be someone to spend the rest of his life with her just because they like each other.”
Stella was silent. Daniel believed in the non-marriage doctrine. Earlier, when Sherry was pregnant,
according to her words, they were just life partners.
Although Daniel didn’t evade or deny the responsibilities on this matter, he still didn’t plan to marry
Sherry.
Sherry was quite worry-freed, so she didn’t care. She even thought that they could raise the child
separately.
However, those were just based on idealism. Sherry's parents would never accept it.
Now it came to this end, and Sherry must return to reality.
Clarence continued, “In terms of love, she knows what she wants more clearly than you do. You can
just tell her what you’ve known. She will know what she should do next. As for the relationship between
Daniel and that woman, and whether he would come back to City N, it’s the matter between them only.”
Stella heaved a sigh in silence. She whispered, “I got it.”
Clarence could always poke at others’ sore spots, but his words often made sense.
It wouldn’t be a good ending if Sherry and Daniel kept their own ways of living.
If they couldn’t get married in the end, they’d better separate as soon as possible to reduce their
losses.
Stella pulled out her cell phone and checked the time. Then she stood up from his arms. “It’s getting
late. Let’s go home.”
Clarence looked at her intensely. “Have you rested enough?”
Stella said, “I...”
Before she finished her words, her lips were sealed.
Probably it was because of the effect of the alcohol. Stella felt dizzy after being kissed by him shortly.
Her mind was in a mess.
Clarence put her on the sofa, pecking on her forehead. “Do you know what day it is today, Mrs.
Conrad?”
Stella looked at him in a daze.
Clarence clenched her fingers and said, stressing each syllable, “It’s our anniversary today. In the
future, on this day every year, I’ll always be with you.”
They ended in here, so they must start from here.
Before Stella answered, he kissed her again.
Stella’s mind was blank. She could only let him do whatever he wanted.
Overwhelmed by his heated breath, suddenly, she felt a cool breeze.
Stella was brought back to her senses in difficulty. She said between broken gasps, “The window... isn’t
closed... The curtain... Ah...”
Clarence asked hoarsely, “Let's go back to the room?”
Stella pressed her head in his arms. She was too exhausted to speak.
Clarence carried her upstairs. The candlelight flickered in the living room under the breeze. Two
marriage certificates could be faintly seen on the sofa.
It seemed everything had returned to the start, but everything seemed to be different.
...
After Sherry went back home, she received a call from her mother. For the next half an hour, her
mother talked about life and living attitude with her.
Her mother was right. Regarding family background, education, and work, Brandon was the most
suitable man for her.
Besides, she had some common topics with Brandon earlier. Their values matched. They got along
harmoniously.
As for Daniel and her, Brandon was right; it's normal that they had boyfriends or girlfriends before.
Sherry downloaded so many dating apps earlier just because she wanted to forget Daniel and restart.
Since she had decided to restart, why couldn’t she choose Brandon?
After dating Liam and Daniel, Sherry felt that she genuinely had lost the courage to fall in love with
another man. She seemed to have no such feeling any longer.
She believed that Brandon must think that they fit, so he said he had a crush on her.
Many people longed for love. However, in the end, they would choose a suitable man or woman to get
married.
After getting married, they would lead a peaceful, simple, and harmonious life.
With the most special person hidden in their hearts, they would respect their spouses and spend the
rest of their lives together.
Sherry guessed probably she would end in this way.
A couple like Clarence and Stella was pretty rare.
Back then, they also divorced. If it weren’t that Clarence was ruthless and cheeky enough, they
wouldn’t remarry.
Sherry lay on the sofa, looking out of the window.
She didn’t want to struggle any longer. She decided to compromise.
Sherry stood up and was about to take a bath before going to bed. She heard the doorbell.
Opening the door, she saw Elaine and asked, “It’s so late now. Are you still awake?”
Elaine showed the bag behind her back. “Sherry, look what I’ve brought you.”
It was the snacks from the food stalls nearby the college where Sherry used to take her to try.
Sherry said, “Did you go there alone? It’s so far away.”
Elaine said, “I took a taxi there. It’s not too far. I guess you must want to have them, so I bought some
for you.”
Sherry smiled. “You are right. I still have some beer in my fridge. Good timing. Come on in.”
Elaine followed her. “Sherry, Stella said you can’t drink.”
Sherry turned around and gestured to shush her. “It's no big deal that I drink a little bit. It’ll be alright.
Please don’t tell her.”
Elaine also gestured. “Only a little bit then.”
Sherry rubbed her head with a smile. “You're adorable.”
Elaine said, “I took a taxi there. It’s not too far. | guess you must want to have them, so | bought some
