Not far away, the manâs tall, strong, and upright figure appeared in her sight.
In her hands was a bunch of red roses.
Stella was a bit taken aback. She slowly put down the phone, but the smile on her face became deeper and deeper.
Much to her surprise, the wretched man was quite romantic. He even took the flowers to pick her up.
Clarence walked to her. âWhy didnât you call me after the gather was over?â
Stella said, âHow did I know you are waiting for me nearby?â
She originally planned to text him after arriving home.
Clarence asked, âDonât you want to get in the car?â
Stella shook her head. âI ate a lot earlier. I want to walk home.â
Clarence suddenly bent over to approach her, sniffed. âDid you drink?â
Stella showed him a gesture. âJust a little bit. Iâm not drunk yet.â
Upon hearing it, Clarence curled up his lips. âI can drink with you after arriving home.â
Stella looked at his expression. Her intuition told her that the wretched man had an evil intention. She looked away and walked forward. âNo, thanks.
Moderate drinking is good for the health. Drinking too much will only reduce my life.â
Clarence followed her. âWhere did you get those unreasonable sayings?â
âYour sayings are far more unreasonable.â
Clarence said, âI donât need to work tomorrow. We can date. Where do you want to go?â
Stella thought for a moment. She turned to look at him. âI have to work tomorrow, though. Sherry has gone home for a visit. I must be in my studio.â
As she finished speaking, Clarence raised his eyebrows slightly. âHas she gone home?â
Stella was silent.
She realized that she had leaked an important message.
She wanted to skip the topic. Looking at the red roses in Clarenceâs hands, she asked, âDonât you plan to give them to me?â
Clarence looked down at them. âDo you want them?â
Stella was confused and speechless.
Or what? Why would he be holding them if they were not for her?
Clarence said, âI accidentally picked them up on the street. If you want them, I can give them to you.â
Stella gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely. She turned around and left.
Clarence chuckled and followed her, âAll right. I was kidding. I bought them for you.â
âI see.â
Stella didnât believe him.
Clarence said, âThey are a bit heavy. You want to walk home, donât you? Youâll feel quite tired if walking while holding themâ
Stella didnât agree with him. She didnât want to show weakness and retorted, âWhy would I feel tired? Mr. Conrad, could you please donât underestimate a woman?â
âThen, letâs continue tonight.â
âOf course we can continue. I...â
After she said those words, Stella understood what he implied. Instantly, she felt annoyed. âContinue with yourself!â
She wondered why the wretched man couldnât think about anything else.
When she was about to walk away in anger, her hand was gently grabbed. Clarence asked calmly, âAre you angry?â
Stella believed that the wretched man asked while knowing the answer.
She wasnât in the mood to talk to him.
Right then, a young couple passed them by.
They seemed to be in a fight as well. The woman complained, âLook at you! The man is so handsome and he knows to bring his girlfriend flowers. Itâs our first anniversary today, but you donât only forget to buy me flowers but also forget what day it is today!â
Her boyfriend was so panicked. âWell... Buying flowers has nothing to do with being handsome or not. Iâm sorry, darling. Iâve been too busy recently so I forgot. Tomorrow, all right? I will compensate you tomorrow.â
âOur anniversary is today. Does it make any sense if you do that tomorrow?â
As she spoke, the woman trotted away while weeping.
The man stood motionlessly as if he wanted to find a flower store nearby. However, it was way too late right now. Stores nearby were already closed, let alone a flower store.
Stella watched the scene for a moment. Suddenly, she reached her hand to Clarence. âGive them to me.â
Clarence raised his brows. âEhn?â
âDidnât you say that they are for me? Please give them to me.â
Clarence understood what was in her mind, so he handed the roses to her.
Stella held them in her arms for a few seconds. Curling up her lips into a faint smile, she walked to the man.
The man was startled when seeing her approach.
Stella handed the roses to him. âTake them. Please give them to your girlfriend.â
âAh... How can I accept them? Sheâs quite mad now. I donât think she needs them.â
Stella smiled. âItâs alright. Girls always want to have a sense of ceremony. Besides, today is an important anniversary for you guys. Sheâs mad now because she cares about you and your love a lot.â
Upon hearing it, the man didnât insist on refusing. While he took over the roses, he said, âThank you, Miss. I can wire you the money.â
âNot necessary. As long as you donât disdain it because it was from my boyfriend to me.â
The man immediately answered, âOf course not. Your boyfriend and you love each other so much. Iâm quite envious. I hope we can also be so sweet as you buys.â
Stella truly wanted to stop him from wishing they would be the same. Eventually, she smiled and said, âHurry up and go!â
The man thanked her continuously. After nodding at Clarence, he chased after his girlfriend while holding the roses.
After he was gone, Clarence walked to Stella. âYou are not mad at me now, are you?â
Stella ignored him.
Clarence pulled her wrist. âDidnât you just say that Iâm your boyfriend? Why are you ignoring me now?â
Stella was speechless.
She was whispering to the man just now, but the wretched man still heard it.
Clarence suggested, âHow about I get you another bouquet?â
Stella answered steadily, âNo, thank you.â
âWhy not?â After a pause, Clarence asked, âWasnât you angry because I didnât give you the roses earlier?â
Stella felt that her temples were popping. She realized that the wretched man didnât quite understand her at all.
Seeing that she was silent, Clarence asked again, âSince you want the flowers so much, why did you give them away?â
After a long while, Stella answered, âI just believe that he needs them more than I do. Besides, I didnât want them so eagerly!â
âOh, really?â
Stella looked at him whiling blaming him inwardly. âForget it, you wonât understand it anyway. Youâll never know how sad a woman would be when she hasnât received any gift on the anniversary.â
Clarence pressed his thin lips. Suddenly, he pulled her hand and started to walk back.
âWait! Wait! What are you doing?â
âBuy some gifts.â
âI was kidding. Havenât you compensated me, anyway?â
Clarence said, âIf the compensation worked, why would you complain about it again?â

The wretched man could always hit the nail on the head.
She was just saying it. Besides, when in a quarrel, women always like to bring up old scores again.
After such a trifle, it was almost midnight when they finally got home.
Clarence wasnât being polite. He directly took off his coat and went to the bathroom for a shower.
Stella wanted to hang his suit jacket, but she smelt something on it.
She approached closer, only to smell that besides the scent of milk, there was a weird smell on the suit jacket as well.
