Stella thought for a moment before saying, “But those people are not stupid. They should have been
able to see that this was a trap from the moment doyen appeared.”
Clarence flicked her forehead with his finger and said, “Are you still dwelling on this matter?”
“No. I just think that it is a little risky. Besides this, Elaine… What if the situation loses control and
something happens to her?” she said.
“It is risky. But being the head of the James family, he had to take risks.”
She moved her lips but did not know what to say.
He had a point. Even Elaine’s great-grandfather and her father worked together to set up this trap, so it
meant that they were sure of her safety.
After a while, he let go of her, leaned on the railing behind him and said lightly, “Whether it was
because Darnell saved their lives at a critical moment and made them feel thankful, or because they
saw with their own eyes how Darnell forced Caesar step by step to the point where there was no way
back, they would not act rashly anymore in the future. At least, no one in the James family would have
any more objections towards Darnell in a short time.”
She leaned next to him, gently pursing her lips.
Darnell’s move was truly brilliant. At first, he made those people in the James family think he saved
their lives. And when they realized that something was wrong, they saw how he dealt with Caesar so
that even if they had complaints, they could only stay silent.
After a while, she smiled, “Now I know how those rumors about Darnell came.”
Darnell could be really ruthless and calculating, so it was normal for the others to fear him.
She looked at him with a worried look. “Well, since the things here in Riverside City were settled for
now, can we still get our child back to City N?”
Previously, they thought that the situation was complicated and Riverside City was not safe to stay after
doyen’s death, so Clarence decided to get the medical team to City N.
But now…
Darnell probably would not agree that they took his medical team away.
He stroked her head and said, “Yes.”
Her eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Why would I lie to you?” He slowly added, “Didn’t I tell you that it is a wedding gift?”
“Thank you!”
He lowered his head to approach closer to her. “You know what…”
She wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head to kiss him.
This time, she did not back off after a soft kiss but closed her eyes and slowly explored him with the tip
of her tongue like he usually did.
His gaze was getting intense. He reaching out to grab her waist. In the blink of an eye, he deepened
the kiss.
Wind was blowing in the chilly night.
He carried her back to the bedroom, put her on the sofa and kissed her lips again.
After enjoying the kiss for a while in the sofa, she suddenly said, “Clarence.”
He replied in a husky voice, “Mm?”
She tightened her grip on his waist and said in a soft voice, “Let’s have another child.”
He paused for a second and looked up at her. “Why? Because of what Archer said yesterday morning?
You can just ignore him.”
She shook her head and looked at the bed not far away. “I believe if there is a younger one in the
house, our little one will not be too lonely. Besides this, if we have two children, our home will be lively.
Don’t you think it’s good? That's how I imagine our family life would be.”
He was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Our home is already lively with our little one.”
After a few seconds, she said, “If you don’t want to have another one, then forget about it.”
He said, “Do you think I am unwilling? I just don’t want you to be… so tired.”
She knew what he meant. The doctor once told her that her chances of getting pregnant were quite
small. So he probably did not want her to have full hopes and then end up in vain.
This kind of feeling was not good.
She said in a quiet voice, “Didn’t you say that small chances did not mean zero chance at all? As long
as I listen to the doctor and take good care of myself, there is still a good chance.”
He did not speak with his thin lips pursed.
Seeing him like this, she tried to stimulate him more. “When I was pregnant with the little one, I was
always nervous and you took advantage of me. I never had a peaceful moment to raise the baby
properly. After giving birth to him, I did not even have a good chance to watch him grow up, so I do
want to have another child to make up all those things that I ignored and missed…”
He stared at her with unfathomable gazes and asked in a low voice, “How did I take advantage of
you?”
“That's not the point here.”
He said, “I know what you mean. Did the doctor say what you should do?”
His hot gaze made her a bit weak and she instantly looked away. “Just eat well, drink well and rest
well.”
“So simple?”
“Yes. This kind of thing needs time. When my condition gets well, I will naturally…”
He interrupted her, “Stella, do you take me for a fool? If this is all it takes to increase the possibilities of
conception, why should we need a doctor?”
She could not help but frown, retorting him under her breath, “I may have to take some medicine. But
it’s no big deal.”
“If you want another child, I agree. But only if you don’t harm your own body.”
“I told you I will slowly improve my physical condition. So it is good for my health. How can it hurt my
body?”
“I will talk with your doctor first. After I know the specific methods and details, we will talk about it later.”
“My doctor is in City N…”
“Then let’s wait until we get back to City N.”
She was about to say something else, but he said in a calm and restrained manner, “As you told me, it
takes time. So why are you in such a rush?”
She got speechless. Who's in a rush?
She simply wanted to discuss this matter with him first.
But it seemed like she was in a hurry… to do something with him.
She broke away from his embrace, sat up and said seriously, “You have a point. So you should
continue to sleep on the couch tonight.”
He was stunned for a moment.
Huh?
Before he could say anything, she added, “You are not allowed to sneak back to the bed. Anyway, we
will be back in City N in a few days, so why are you in such a rush?”
She used what he had said to her to retort him.
After saying that, she ruffled her hair and walked towards the bed.
He looked at her back and couldn't help smiling.
What a feisty little kitten.
The more he looked at her, the more he adored her.

But it seemed like she was in a hurry... to do something with him.
