Clarence pulled Stella into the bathroom, took out the hairdryer, and gently blew her hair.
Stella leaned on the vanity and tilted her head to look at him, "You just said on the phone..."
He lifted her hair and sniffed it, "You changed your shampoo? It smells good."
Stella was annoyed.
She nudged him, "I'm serious, and I've been using this for a month."
Clarence raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to blow-dry her hair.
After a while, Stella was just about to say something when Clarence's voice sounded. "It's not that I
don't want to tell you. I hope that you can always be happy like you are now. The past doesn't matter
anymore."
After a moment of silence, Stella set her mouth in a grim line and said, "Is it about Chan's paternity
test?"
Her father and Clarence's secrets were only something related to these feuds.
Clarence acquiesced.
Stella took the hairdryer, turned it off and put it aside. "I know. I won't ask."
It might have nothing to do with Emmett, but the truth was even more unacceptable according to their
attitudes.
Clarence pulled her in his arms and whispered. "Go to sleep."
...
Half a year later.
As the Fashion Week drew nearer, Stella worked until two or three o'clock almost every day before
bed.
To not bother Clarence and the three children, she would sometimes even sleep in the studio.
Clarence seemed to be busier than her.
In the morning, when Stella returned to the Starry Lake Mansion, she only saw Noah and Dolores
having breakfast while the twins were crawling on the carpet under the maid's care.
Seeing her, Noah said happily, "Mummy!"
Stella kissed him on the cheek, then asked Dolores, "Did Clarence not come back last night?"
"He went to Australia on a business trip last night. Didn't he tell you?"
Stella remembered that he had called her last night and she was busy changing the details of the
necklace, so she answered vaguely.
She smiled awkwardly, "He told me, but I forgot it."
As Stella said, she rubbed Noah's head and told him to eat correctly before going upstairs to change
her clothes.
She had just pushed open the cloakroom door when she saw that there was a new batch of clothes
inside.
They were all the new seasonal models.
While picking out her clothes, Stella called Clarence.
"Have you arrived in Australia yet?"
"Yes."
Stella chose a simple dress and a jacket in the same color. "How long will it take?"
"A week at most."
Stella answered and didn't say anything else.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing; Louis called me this morning to ask me to go over a few days earlier. I guess I have to leave
next week, so I may not be able to wait for you to come back.
"It's fine. I'll go straight over from here."
The corner of Stella's lips lifted, "That's fine. I'll hang up then."
"Wait." Clarence continued, "Try the clothes on when you get back. If they don't fit, I'll have someone
change them."
Stella began to lose weight since the breastfeeding period finished. She was not fat, and Clarence
always told her to eat more, so she didn't take her diet plan well.
However, she was recently busy, so she lost a few more pounds.
It was back to about the same weight she was before she got pregnant.
"I'm at home, wearing it. It just fits."
Clarence smiled. "Got it."
After the clothes shifted, she hurried downstairs again.
The twins were sitting on the sofa, tired of playing. Seeing her coming down, they waved their little
hands happily and shouted vaguely, "Mommy."
Stella walked over and kissed them on the forehead one by one.
At this time, Noah ran over and took Stella's hand, saying in an adenoidal voice. "Mommy, grandma
wants you to eat."
Stella smiled, "Okay, then you can play with your sisters."
Noah nodded seriously.
Even though these two little girls often pinched him.
When Stella walked to the table, Dolores had already served the food and admonished, "Don't be too
tired. It was no good to your health."
Stella took a sip of milk and smiled, "Don't worry. The work will almost finish in a few days. I'm going to
Paris next week, and Clarence is too, so you can bring the three kids."
Dolores put the food on the table, "I won't be going. Archer said he would come over next week to give
Noah a check-up. It's not convenient for you to go out to work with the children."
It would be hard for the children to sit on a plane for so long when they were so young.
Thinking about this, Stella averted her eyes to the living room.
The two younger sisters grabbed toys, and Noah pulled and coaxed them around.
They already got used to it.
Seeing the scene, Stella was happy.
All three children had been in good health in the past six months. Occasionally they would get sick, but
it was only a cold or something, no big deal.
Archer would come every three months, and Noah was cooperative with the check-ups, pulling Stella's
hand to tell her not to worry.
It was good that he is growing up healthy and well.
Sherry said back in the studio, "Did you see the product? Is it okay? I will take pictures."
"There's a little problem. I've changed it. It's in my office. Just go and get it."
Staff came over, "Stella, this is the last quarter's financial statements and sales records for the two
branches in City A and City C."
Stella nodded. "You could tell them about our new releases here and the main merchandise shoot.
Contact Winnie and make an appointment with her."
"Okay, I'll do it now."
A few months ago, Stella and Sherry started to open branches. They had a tryout in two cities at first,
which went smooth. The sales were rising and even surpassing the volume of international first-tier
brands.
SG had also published the articles of their brand many times, highly praised it, and invited Stella to do
an interview.
They had received the best recognition in the domestic industry.
They already got used to it.
