After going back home, Stellaâs weak point was finally caught by Clarence. She was forced to address her as âdarlingâ for the whole night.
In the end, she even had the idea of killing him because of it.
After resting at home for a week, Stella decided to go visit the psychologist.
If this was a psychological problem, whether it was anxiety of other sort, she should seek the correct path of treatment. Otherwise, she couldnât predict the next time she would repeat that episode again where her emotion lost control and her mind went into a frenzy and was shrouded in insecurity.
The night before she made this decision, Stella broached this topic with Clarence.
Upon hearing that, Clarenceâs furrowed his brows slightly and only replied after a few seconds, âIf you think that you still canât solve your emotional problems, I will rearrange my work schedule and we will go on a trip. Thereâs no need for you to see the psychologist.â
Stella retorted seriously, âI think I am sick. Itâs not just about whether my emotions could be soothed, and it is definitely not something a trip can resolve.â
Clarence seemed dissatisfied with her explanation, âYou are not sick. You just think too much.â
âOverthinking is a sickness.â Stella retorted again, âIf I didnât think so much, I wonât have the illusion that my child is still alive, and he is right in front of me. It is precisely because I have such a thought that I would lose control and couldnât let go of such things.â
Clarence didnât say anything in response.
His lips were pressed into a line, and he didnât make a sound.
Stella continued, âBesides, you have some responsibility on this sickness too.â
Clarence felt his tongue poking his teeth and his Adamâs apple bobbing up and down. He looked at her and said slowly, âOh?â
âIf you didnât tell me that you are going to bring my child away time and again, my mind wonât wander to that area too.â
âThen, do you want to bring the child away?â
Stella looked at him without any expression, âSee, itâs starting again.â
Clarence let out a slight chuckle as he clasped her shoulders, âStella, this is not a sickness. You just want a child too much.â
âI didnât think like that. I just...â
âYou want it.â
Stella couldnât say anything to that.
Clarence clasped his hand around the back of her head and pressed his lips on hers, âYou donât need to see the psychologist to treat your sickness. I can cure you myself.â
Stella placed her arm in between them, âI am talking about something serious, now.â
âAnd I am doing something serious with you.â Clarence moved her arm away and kissed her fingers. He said lazily, âI told you before, no matter itâs the matter of your craving for a children or you liking that little bastard, I can make it happen for you.â
Stella felt a huge wave of fatigue sweeping over her, âI said, donât give me false hopes.â
âWhat false hopes?â
âYou never like children, but why you keep bringing me to see that unrelated...â
Clarence interrupted her, âStella, itâs not that I donât like children. I just like you a lot.â
Stella didnât see this coming as she was slightly stunned.
Clarenceâs deep eyes were boring a hole in her as he said lazily, âSo, I will like everything that you like. Whether itâs a child, or any other thing.â
Stella stared deep into his depthless eyes but she couldnât sense any mischief or deception. All there was to them was a deep sense of tranquility.
She felt herself getting persuaded by him.
Before she could provide a response, Clarenceâs lips came assaulting her again.
Finally, when Clarence was about to get up and fetch something from the head of the bed, Stella pulled him, âDonât take that.â
Clarenceâs voice was deep, âHmm?â
âDidnât you just say that... you can give a child to me?â
That time in Aqock, they didnât use condom either, but it seemed that she failed to get pregnant.
Clarence didnât move an inch for a while, seemingly deep in some thoughts.
Stella turned around and said, âIf you are unwilling, we can forget about this.â
Clarence body was suspended above her as his voice turned hoarse, âWhen did I say that I am unwilling?â
Although things had become complicated lately, it was a fortunate thing that more and more people were able to protect her.
Is she successfully had his baby, it wouldnât affect anything.
At least, the baby would only be born in ten months. That amount of time was enough for him to deal with everything perfectly.
...
After a night of tireless endeavor, Stella was only able to wake up by noon the next day.
After thinking through things, she decided that it was unnecessary for her to visit a psychologist.
In the end, she had to overcome such obstacles. Everything was part of her effort to fortify her mentality.
However, since she had been resting for such a long time, she couldnât bear to stay indoors anymore. After she had her lunch, she headed to her workshop.
Just as she settled down on her seat, Sherry came barging in, âStella, why donât you rest for another two days?â
Stella answered, âI think itâs enough. If I continue to rest and do nothing, my limbs will degrade soon enough.â
Sherry sat opposite her and sprawled herself over her desk, âRight, Horace came by yesterday. When he learnt that you were recuperating from sickness at home, he left without saying anything.â
Stella paused, âHe... Did he disclose anything about his father?â
âI asked, and he said that everythingâs fine. But from his face, I doubt that though. I am just in no position to ask anything more. Thatâs all.â
Stella nodded lightly, âIf there isnât any new development, in most cases we can take it as good news.â
Although there was nothing going on between Horace and her, due to that matter concerning Annie, the Jason family held some animosity towards her. No matter what kind of spin you put on it, what Rebecca had done would forever be a knot in her heart.
A lot of time had passed since that incident, and she didnât plan to bring that back anymore, but at the same time, it was hard for her to just forgive them.
There was no need for her to pay any visit to them, since it would only serve to aggravate the awkwardness between both parties.
Stella snapped out of her reverie, âHave you found a place?â
Sherry answered, âYes, but I fear that Liam that mad dog would come pouncing onto me again. I specially found a place that is kind of far away.â
âDid Liam pester you during the time I was away?â
âHe no longer does that. Finally I can have a break. Come Lunar new year, I need to go burn some incense in temples to thank the gods and deities for looking after me.â
Stella laughed, âThatâs great then, if he stops looking for you. If you run into such trouble again, remember to ring me.â
Sherry added, âWhat about you? Did you visit the doctor? What does the doctor says?â
Stella shook her head, âI didnât go. Maybe too many things happened a little while ago and caused me to have much stress. I will be better if I can be more at ease.â
Sherry agreed, âI think so too. If I were you, I would be completely lost in the face of those things. You on the other hand had the bravery to go deep into the lionâs deep and get the prized head. You are really the one and only heroine.â
Stella was speechless upon hearing that.
She then said, âItâs all over anyway.â
Sherry smiled, âThatâs what I mean. Now that everything has come to an end, your life will be easier soon. Speaking of which... did you find Phoebe?â
âNo.â
âMaybe sheâs too good at hiding. Where on earth could she be hiding herself in?â
Ever since Phoebe left Auroraâs vicinity, all news were lost on her. This time, she had probably hidden herself in an unexpected place.
