Upon hearing it, Evelyn shook her head and criticized, âSheâs quite short-tempered. Why canât you have a conversation if something happened? Then what happened? Did you look for her?â
âYes, I did.â
âDid you go back home with you?â
âNope. She went on blind dates while being pregnant with my baby.â
Evelyn inhaled. She patted her thigh with strength and said in anger, âHow could this happen? Itâs your wifeâs fault then! No matter how big the conflict was, she couldnât do such a thing! Itâs called infidelity in marriage, bigamy! Moreover, sheâs pregnant with your baby! What a woman...â
Stella, who was sitting aside silently, couldnât help but add, âTheyâve divorced already.â
Evelyn continued, âEven if they are divorced, she canât... What? Are they divorced?â
She paused a bit and asked in disbelief, âClarence, are you divorced?â
Clarence cast Stella a glance, nodding.
âWell... Then...â
Right then, Dolores walked out of the kitchen.
Evelyn spoke quite loudly, so Dolores had heard what they were talking about in the kitchen. She felt so bothered. Hence, she came out and pulled Evelyn out of the door with an excuse.
After going back into her house, Evelyn asked, âDolores, I havenât finished talking with Clarence. I didnât expect that heâs divorced as well. Donât you care about your son?â
Dolores said with a migraine, âThey both are divorced.â
âExactly,â Evelyn said. Then she said secretly, âOh, Dolores, I just found that Clarence and Stella are a perfect match. Since Clarence is divorced, too, Iâll find a chance to ask him if he...â
âEnough. Enough.â Dolores pulled her, âHavenât you found that they were talking about each other?â
âWhat...â
âThey were both from City N. Stella came here first, followed by Clarence. They both are divorced. One ran away while being pregnant, and the other came to find her. Can you understand now?â
Evelyn gaped.
After digesting the news that Clarenceâs Doloresâ son and accepting it, Evelyn was lost in thought deeply again.
She was silent for a long while and then said in disbelief, âDid you mean Stellaâs irresponsible ex-husband is...â
Dolores nodded, âI didnât ask the details between the two. I talked to Stella before. She should have some misunderstandings with Clare. Clare only believes what he has seen personally. Hence, itâs useless for me to convince them.â
Evenly didnât get what she said completely. She patted her head in a trance. She recalled that she used to matchmake Alexander with Stella in Clarenceâs presence, and she also cursed that Stellaâs ex-husband wasnât a human...
She felt way too embarrassed.
...
Another woman was more embarrassed than Evelyn now.
Stella was sitting in the yard and didnât know whether she should stay or leave.
She hadnât expected that Evelyn would change the subject in this way, especially she had just offended Clarence not long ago.
Besides, the wretched man said as if he was the victim. It was because his heart was as cold as a stone and he wanted to give her baby an abortion, she ran away. How could he sound as if it was all her fault?
Clarence looked into her eyes and asked indifferently, âWhat do you want to say?â
Stella answered seriously, âMr. Conrad, you are also quite skilled in lying. You came here for the acquisition but you said you came to look for me on purpose. Besides, what youâve said was quite misleading.â
âMisleading? So did you misunderstand that I like you?â
Stella didnât answer, but she acquiesced it.
She had thought that Clarence would mock her for indulging in the wildest fantasy as he had done before. However, he said flatly, âStella, you should know even if I like it, it doesnât mean anything.â
Stella understood. Clarenceâs favor might not be as important as a document in his office.
Seeing that Stella was lowering her head in silence, Clarence said unhappily, âYouâve got the answer you expected. Donât you want to say something?â
After a long while, Stella said, âMr. Conrad, havenât you said that it doesnât mean anything? What else can I say?â
Stella believed that his favor might be on a whim or because of a manâs desire for possession. She didnât think how much he liked her couldnât even compare with Liamâs love for Sherry.
Clarence gazed at her for a few seconds. Then he said, âStella, when you go to the hospital next time, I suggest you ask the doctor to check your brain up. I wonder it has been ruined by the junk food.â
Stella was speechless.
The wretched man started the fight again, didnât he?
Their war without gunpowder ended with the return of Dolores.
After staying downstairs for a few days, Clarence made an excuse that the first floor was way too humid, so he wanted to move to the second floor.
Dolores didnât agree with his excuse at all and wasnât willing to help him, so the mission finally fell on Stellaâs shoulders.
There were only two rooms on the second floor - one was Stellaâs, and the other one was next to hers.
Stella didnât think he moved up with a good intention, but the wretched man could always find reasonable excuses. Besides, she still owed him a favor for helping Channing get back to the university. She had to suppress her unwillingness, couldnât do anything but to help him sort his beddings.
Time passed by and another half month was gone. Stella had been here for more than a month. Evelyn told her that the acquisition was ensured and the government would issue the document in a few days. After that, the neighbors were moving away gradually.
Stella thought that it would be time for Clarence to leave here then.
One morning, when Stella opened her door, she saw Clarence was leaning against his own door. He asked in a sleepy tone, âItâs so early. Where are you going?â
âFor the prenatal examination.â As she spoke, she deliberately sickened him by asking, âMr. Conrad, would you like to go with me?â
Clarence said, âSince you are begging me, why not?â

She blamed herself inwardly for having said that.
Clarence added, âWait for me downstairs. Iâll change my clothes.â
âAll right.â
It was still early. Stella was still sleepy. Yawning, she walked out of the door.
A mid-aged woman passed by, âMorning, Stella. You got up so early.â
Stella smiled and said, âMorning. Yeah, Iâm having a walk.â
âWhy are you here alone? Where is Mr. Conrad?â
Stella was a bit embarrassed to answer.
After Evelyn spread the news, the whole community knew the relationship between Clarence and Stella.
But it was a good thing - at least Stella wouldnât be misunderstood by others when Clarence dragged her out.
Right then, Clarence showed up behind her.
The mid-aged woman said with a smile, âThat's what I mean. I wonât hold you up for so long. See you later.â
After the woman was gone, Clarence looked over at Stella, âDonâ you have breakfast?â
Stella returned to her senses, âThe checkup today requires me to have an empty stomach. Ms. Anderson should have cooked. Mr. Conrad, you can...â
Clarence strode forward, âLetâs go.â
