Sherry leaned against the door and said weakly, âItâs awesome to have some spiritual food. I also want it.â
Stella turned around and smiled, âYou are awake. Go tidy yourself up. Breakfast is ready.â
Sherry yawned and hummed to answer. Then she walked towards the bathroom.
Stella filled plates and bowls with breakfast. Then she got one portion in the lunch box for Channing so that he could have it in the studio.
After breakfast, Sherry said, âStella, Iâm going downstairs to get the car ready.â
âOkay. Go ahead. Iâll be right there.â
Stella changed her clothes. When she was about to walk out, she saw herself in the mirror. Then she took a few steps back, pulled the lipstick from her purse, and put it on gently.
When she arrived downstairs and stood at the entrance of the community waiting for Sherry, a black Rolls-Royce was parked in front of her.
The car window was gradually pressed down. She saw the manâs handsome and aloof face.
Clarence stared at her, tilting his head, âGet in.â
Stella shook her head, âIâm waiting for Sherry.â
âYou two are always together. Why do you need to wait for her?â
Right then, the was a car behind the Rolls-Royce, and it honked.
Stella looked around but didnât find Sherryâs car. Also, the wretched man didnât seem to have the intention to give up. She pulled the door of the passenger seat open and sat in. Then she pulled out her cell phone to call Sherry.
Clarence drove the car to the roadside and pulled it over. He cast a glance at the lunch box on her lap, reached out, and took it over.
Stella didnât pay attention while calling Sherry, so it was grabbed by him.
Clarence opened the lunch box while asking, âIs it for me?â
âWait...â
Before Stella denied it, he had already opened the lunch box. He picked one piece up and bit it.
Stella said crossly, âItâs for Chan.â
Clarence didnât care at all. After finishing one piece, he said, âHeâs so grown up. He wouldnât starve to death if skipping breakfast.â
The wretched man could always make excuses, couldnât he?
After finishing the food, Clarence put the lunch box into the bag, âYou can make less tomorrow. Iâm quite stuffed.â
Stella was speechless.
Inwardly, she couldnât help cursing him. He could have stopped eating if he couldnât finish it, couldnât he?
Clarence slightly curled up his lips. He started the engine again and said calmly, âShall I pick you up in the evening?â
Stella asked, âWhere will we go then?â
âWhere do you want to go?â
Stella answered intentionally, âI will want to go home.â
Clarence cast her a glance from the corner of his eyes. He said meaningfully, âI wonât object to it.â
Stella closed her eyes, inhaling deeply. She wasnât in the mood to talk to him any longer.
Soon, the black car was pulled over in front of her studio.
Stella unfastened the seat belt, âHave a good day.â
The manâs slender fingers knocked on the steering wheel. He stared at her in silence.
Stella paused, looking into his eyes in confusion, âWhy are you staring at me?â
Clarence raised his eyebrows slightly, âYou look gorgeous today.â
Stella fell into the silence. Then she asked, âAm I not always gorgeous?â
âNo, you are not whenever youâre with Emmett Carter.â
Stella hurriedly pulled the door open to get off. She walked into the studio without looking back.
The amusement in Clarenceâs eyes became deeper. When her figure disappeared from his sight, he withdrew his gaze and drove away.
After Stella walked into the studio, she found that Sherry was sitting at the front desk, lost in thought.
She asked, âSherry, when did you arrive? I called you earlier but the call couldnât be connected.â
Sherry answered, âI saw the Rolls-Royce as soon as I went downstairs. Why? Am I not considerate?â
Stella raised her hand, rubbing her eyebrows, âIâm going to my office now. Call me if you need any help.â
As she spoke, Stella walked towards her office. She pulled out her cell phone and ordered breakfast for Channing.
In the afternoon, Steward Group came out with some solutions for the problems of its project. They punished several senior executives. After that, using the power of capital, the group suppressed public opinions.
As for the grudge between Phoebe and Stella, they gave a brief explanation that it was relevant to their personal lives. They didnât make an apology or feel any sense of guilt.
Since the fact that Stella used to be Clarenceâs ex-wife was exposed, the public knew what had happened among them. Stella was the ex-wife, and Phoebe used to be the former fiancee. Nobody would believe that they could get along with each other.
After the news came out, Sherry said, âThe Steward family is so capable. After such a big incident happened, they only punished a few senior executives. It seems that before long, when the incident is over, everything will be all right again.â
Next to her, Channing said indifferently, âPeopleâs memories are short. They will always be attracted by fresh things.â
Stella pressed her lips and didnât speak.
Her intuition told her that this incident wasnât so simple and it hadnât been over yet.
If Danielâs plan was only to get Steward Group to be impacted by the public opinion, they shouldnât have planned such a huge arrangement.
Right then, Emmett showed up at the gate.
After a moment of silence, he asked, âStella, may I have a private talk with you, please?â
Stella nodded and walked out of the studio with him.
It was office hour, so there were limited passersby on the street.
Mr. Conrad Proposes to His Ex-wife Again ï¤Chapter 278: Quite Tough An Eight-year-old Princess Emmett and Stella walked shoulder-by-shoulder along the street. After a long while, Emmett said, âStella, I must apologize for what happened that night. I knew you like Clarence Conrad, but I still had a fluke idea to ask you to go home with me.â
Stella asked, âHave you explained to your parents?â
Emmett nodded, âYes. Iâve told them everything bluntly.â
âDid they blame you?â
âNo, they didnât.â Emmett looked in distance, âThey asked me to think it through.â
As he spoke, Emmett stopped walking and turned to look at her, âIâve thought it over, Stella. Letâs keep being friends from now on. I wish you happy.â
Stella parted her lips. With a smile, she said, âThank you, Emmett.â
âMr. Conrad is kind of arrogant, but I have to admit that heâs a super capable man. Otherwise, he wouldnât have forced the Conrad family into such a circumstance now. Heâll surely take good care of you if you marry him,â said Emmett, âWell, Iâve got to go now. See you, Stella.â
When Emmett took a few steps, Stella suddenly stopped him.
He turned around, âWhatâs the matter?â
Stella originally wanted to ask him about the Steward family. However, when the words reached the tip of her tongue, she just shook her head, âNothing. Thank you for being so kind to me in the past few weeks.â
Emmett answered, âYou are welcome, Stella. Iâm quite happy to be with you in the past few weeks.â
After Emmett was gone far, Stella turned around and was about to go back to her studio, but she saw a figure not far away. It seemed that the person was deliberately hiding from her.
Stella couldnât help but frown. She slowly put her hand into her coat pocket, pinching her cell phone tightly.
