At eight oâclock in the next morning, Madison showed up at the door as agreed.
With her hands wrapped in front of her chest, Madison looked around, âWhy are you living in such an ordinary house? Did Clarence dump you?â
The moment she finished the words, a tall, slender figure appeared in the room.
Madison immediately became silent and walked to an inconspicuous corner to reduce her sense of presence.
Clarence looked towards Stella, âDo you have any matters?â
Stella was rendered speechless.
He had been waiting at the door for a long time. Was he looking for this opportunity to enter her house?
Stella replied expressionlessly, âCome to the one who asks you here.â
Clarence raised his brows and looked towards the breakfast on the table, âMay I?â
âNope.â
Just as Stella finished the words, Clarence said to Channing, âThe driver is waiting for you downstairs. Hurry up.â
Channing was rendered speechless.
He handed the bottle of milk he prepared just now to Stella, âThen I have to go first.â
After his leaving, Clarence sat down at the table, âYouâve prepared much for breakfast and it will be a waste if you canât finish it. Since Iâm free now, I can do you a favor although Iâve been full.â
Stella sneered. When she prepared to say something, the baby wormed his way into her arms and his face was crimson red. It seemed like he just pooed.
Stella looked towards Clarence and curled her lips into a smile.
âWell, you want to eat it, right?â She thought to herself.
Stella put the baby onto the sofa, changed his diaper, stepped towards the table and then threw the diaper into a rubbish bin near the table.
Clarence who just picked up the knife and folk was rendered speechless.
Stella looked towards him and curled her lips into an extremely gentle smile, âWhy donât you eat? Donât you like it?â
Clarence suddenly thought that women were so scary, especially a woman who was angry.
Without any expressional change, he stood up, âI suddenly recall that I have to go to company to deal with some matters. Enjoy your breakfast.â
Stella said slowly, âDidnât you say it would be a waste if I donât finish it?â
âYou can keep it and eat it at noon.â
After finishing the words, Clarence left the house in strides.
Looking at his back, Stellaâs mood was apparently improved, which could be seen from her curved lips.
On the other side...
Madison had changed the diaper for the baby. Seeing that Clarence had left, she approached Stella and asked with a serious expression, âDid he go bankruptcy?â
Stellaâs mood was greatly dampened. She turned around and looked at her expressionlessly.
Madison immediately zipped up her mouth, âRest assured. I will keep this a secret for you. We have shared future now. Am I right?â
Stella didnât want to continue this topic. She told Madison about the babyâs living habits and then added, âI will come back at about half past six every evening, 7 at latest. If you have any problems during this period, you can give me a call. And if you want to go out, my men will follow you. Theyâre protecting you downstairs. You may not be able to see them, but theyâre clear of your tracks.â
Madison murmured, âWhy do I feel like itâs a spy game. Will it be dangerous?â
âDidnât you tell you that as long as youâre alive, the baby will definitely be alive?â
Madison replied, âItâs... Itâs just a metaphor.â
Stella said, âThen I will repeat my words. No matter what kind of danger you will encounter, as long as the baby is safe, you will definitely be safe.â
âWell, I see. What kind of danger will I encounter during the daytime? They wouldnât stab me or shoot me when Iâm on the street, right?â
Stella took a glance at the baby who was playing with toys on the cushion, walked over, pinched the babyâs cheeks and said in a soft voice, âMummy have to go out. Donât act naughtily at home.â
Stella wasnât sure whether the baby could understand her words or not. The baby waved the toy at her and babbled some syllables.
Stella chuckled. She then stood up and said to Madison, âI have to go.â
But her eyes had been fixed on the baby as she was reluctant to shift her gaze.
Madison said meaningfully, âYou have to get accustomed it. I had the same feeling as yours when my daughter had to go to kindergarten. Children grow up quickly and theyâre different every day. Sometimes I would have an illusion that there were some changes with my child when I missed one moment of her.â
Stella pressed her lips together and didnât say anything.
She had missed many moments of the babyâs growth.
She had only met the baby several times during his growth.
In her memory, he had been a newly-born baby.
Actually, if she had a careful observation of him when she met him in Anqiao Street, she would find out that the baby was sick at that time.
But she thought it was because he was newly born at that time.
But now, the baby looked totally different from how he looked at that time.
He looked healthy now.
When taking care of the baby in the past few days, Stella had thought over many matters. Actually, she could understand why Clarence chose to keep it a secret from her and decided not to tell her that the baby was still alive.
She had an extremely unstable mental state at that time. Not to mention seeking revenge, she couldnât even protect herself. So what could she do even if she learned that the child was still alive? It would probably become another chance for them to hurt the child.
Clarence hid the child and kept it a secret from her and the Conrads. Few people knew about it.
To some extent, this had provided enough protection for the baby so that he would be able to grow up happily and healthily in a safe environment.
Nonetheless...

Stella still couldnât accept the fact that Clarence would tell her nonchalantly with various excused that her assumption was wrong every time when she was about to learn about the truth.
She asked several times and gave him many chances.
Stella pulled herself together, heaved a long sigh, picked up her bag and walked out of the house.
When she walked to the lift, Sherry walked out of her house and asked, âStella, are you sure that you will let her take care of the baby?â
Stella nodded her head, âRest assured. Itâs all right.â
Sherry shook her head, âIâm still worried about it. Anyway, I donât have many matters to deal with in the studio and I will keep an eye on her in these days. You can focus on your work and leave these matters to me.â
Stella chuckled, âOkay.â
When Stella entered the lift, Sherry walked into the house.
Madison was trying to coax the baby who pouted sadly because of Stellaâs leaving with a toy in the house.
When her eyes met with Sherryâs in the air, Madison immediately put down the toy and coughed, âWhat are you doing here?â
Sherry replied, âI think youâre not that reliable.â
Madison snorted. When she prepared to retort, the baby began to choke with sobs again.
Madison hurriedly picked up the toy, trying to coax him. With great effort, she finally shifted his attention.
Seeing this, Sherry raised her brows, âGood job. I didnât expect that youâre skillful in taking care of the baby.â
Madison said, âIâm afraid that someone would lodge a complaint against me, saying that I canât even solve such a trivial problem. I have to remind you to drop your dream of seeming me become a laughing stock. Donât look down upon me.â
Hence, in the next hours, Sherry and Madison stayed in the house, gazing at each other speechlessly.
