Stella opened the car door and stumbled when she got out of the car. She managed to stand still by holding the door.
She said weakly without strength, âIs Mr. Conrad thinking about which location is the most appropriate to kill and bury a corpse.â
Clarence was speechless.
He dusted off his cigarette ash and turned his head to look at her, âI originally wanted to give you a gift but it seems like you donât need it.â
Stella said, âIf you send me home, it will be the best gift for me.â
Finally, she added two words, âThank you.â
Clarence said, âBut since you and Emmett went home together, I donât intend to give you the gift anymore.â
âOkay.â
Stella replied perfunctorily. Before she wanted to get in the car, the wretched manâs unhurried voice rang out again, âEvelynâs son lives here.â
Hearing this, Stellaâs movements stopped instantaneously.
Her reaction was completely expected by Clarence.
He stubbed out the cigarette, âIt looks like you really donât need it, letâs go then.â
Stella was speechless.
She suddenly said, âHold on.â
Clarence looked at her and raised his eyebrows without a trace.
Stella said seriously, âMr. Conrad drank wine just now, right. You canât drive. Why donât we find a place to sit and wait for Mr. Lance to come back.â
Clarenceâs arm casually rested on the car. He turned his head and raised his chin at her.
Stella looked in the direction he was looking at and saw that Nathan was smiling at her.
â...â
She quickly found another excuse, âIâm a little drunk. I want to get some air. Mr. Conrad, go back yourself, just give me back my phone.â
âI donât see which part of you is drunk.â
Stella said seriously, âIâm always like this when Iâm drunk, others canât tell.â
Clarence apparently remembered something. His thin lips curled and there was an obvious smile in his eyes, âIs that so.â
âOf course!â
Clarence did not intend to beat around the bush with her, âIf you beg me, Iâll consider taking you up.â
Stella knew the wretched man would be waiting for her here.
She hesitated for a moment without saying anything.
Clarence was not in a hurry. He slowly waited for her to consider.
Eventually, Stella gave up and said directly, âPlease.â
âVerbal words donât count.â
Stella said, âGive me back my phone then, Mr. Conrad, Iâll send you a red pocket.â
âDo I lack your red packet?â
âI think Mr. Conrad should just directly say what you want.â
Clarence said slowly, âCome.â
Stella looked at him cautiously and stopped after taking two steps.
Amused, Clarence said, âWhy are you standing so far away from me, come to me.â
Stella deliberated for a moment. She knew that she would fall into his trap if she continued to go forward. She reacted in time, âForget it, Iâm not going.â
As she spoke, when she turned around and wanted to leave, her wrist was gently clasped and yanked hard.
The next second, she fell into his arms.
Clarence said, âIâve told you to come over by yourself but you force me to do it.â
âYou actually still can come out with a good reason.â
Clarenceâs hand wrapped around her waist. Stella struggled several times but their bodies got closer and closer.
Since the situation had come to this point, she simply gave up and said, âCan Mr. Conrad tell me your conditions now?â
âStella, itâs New Year today.â
âI know, does Mr. Conrad really think that Iâm drunk?â
Clarence lowered his eyes to stare at her, âAre you still angry?â
Without even needing to think, Stella knew he was referring to the matter that he asked people to send flowers to Emmettâs house. She barely smiled and said, âIs there any use for me to be angry, will Mr. Conrad think about your own mistake.â
âNo.â
âThen why does Mr. Conrad say these words.â
âI just think that on a day like today, no matter what I do, you should forgive me.â
Being quite surprised, Stella laughed and said, âDoes Mr. Conrad still need my forgiveness, isnât Mr. Conrad always doing what you want according to your own preferences without caring what others think...â
âShut up.â
Stella also got irritated, âIs this your attitude to beg my forgiveness?â
Clarence asked, âWho is actually the one that is begging othersâ forgiveness now?â
Stella said, âOh.â
She got carried away and got the wrong direction.
She said, âSo what, what exactly does Mr. Conrad want to say.â
Clarence said, âItâs not good to be angry at such a festive period.â
Stella kept silent. These words were reasonable.
Slightly annoyed, she said, âOkay, fine, then can Mr. Conrad take me up now?â
âYouâre not angry anymore?â
âYes!â
After Stellaâs words were uttered, she suddenly felt darkness in front of her eyes, followed by thin lips that came down.
Then, the sounds of fireworks exploding sounded in the distance.
Before she had time to react, Clarence let her go and his low voice sounded next to her ears, âHappy New Year.â
Stella was a bit stunned. It was ten oâclock when her phone was taken away by Clarence. She did not expect that it was surprisingly already twelve oâclock.
A few seconds later, Stella regained her presence of mind and looked at him expressionlessly, âDoes Mr. Conrad think that it is enough to let me ignore your rogue behaviour by just saying happy new year.â
Clarence raised his eyebrows, âDidnât you say youâre not angry anymore.â
Stella understood. The reason why the wretched man said so many words was to foreshadow this. He totally did not feel that it was not right for him to do the previous things and he did not have the intention to apologize at all.
Stella took a deep breath and calmed her emotions. She comforted herself that the new year had come so there was no need for her to be angry about last yearâs events.
She said, âThen can we go up now.â
âNo.â
Stellaâs anger that was just contained instantly got ignited. The wretched man not only took advantage of her but was actually lying to her as well!
Just before Stella could not help but curse him, Clarence said, âItâs already twelve oâclock, you donât want to sleep but others have to sleep too.â
Stella was speechless.
So, the reason why he brought her over here was to do that thing just now.
Clarence added, âIâll bring you over here tomorrow again.â

The light cast by the streetlights fell on her face alternatingly.
After a while, she withdrew her gaze and spoke without any sign, âMr. Conrad, why did you take me there.â
Clarenceâs face remained unchanged and he said indifferently, âDonât you want to see him.â
âI also want to see Horace but how come Mr. Conrad doesnât take me there.â
Clarence looked askance at her and her eyes looked cold.
Stella grinned, âIâm just kidding, just kidding.â
Stella murmured again, âSometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I know what Mr. Conrad means, you donât need to comfort me through such an approach, Iâve long accepted the reality.â
âWhat is reality.â
âThe reality is that what is lost can never be recovered.â
Clarence said, âBut what if, it is never lost.â
Stella looked at him, âIâve said that I hope Mr. Conrad donât say such ambiguous words and give me unwarranted hope.â
âExistence of hope relies on how you create it yourself and regarding this, I can help you.â
