Chapter 608: Chapter 608

Riverside City had a beautiful night scene, and the scene near the river was especially beautiful. They could even see the reflection of the city’s night scene on the surface of the river.

And the night breezes were so pleasing.

The restaurant was near the river, and when they looked over, they could see the wrinkled, glimmering surface of the river caused by the wind.

As Stella had slept for the whole afternoon, she wasn’t that hungry and felt full although she didn’t eat too much. Seeing this, Clarence ordered a dessert for her.

Stella declined, “I’m too full to eat it.”

“You just ate a little and you’ll easily get hungry tonight.” Clarence pushed the dessert to her, “Hurry up to finish it. Otherwise, you’ll not be able to gain 1 kilogram, not to mention 5 kilograms.”

“It’s you who said that. It has nothing to do with me.”

Clarence curled his lips into a smile, “Yep, it’s me who said that.”

As Stella was full, she couldn’t eat anything else. Therefore, they packed the dessert and took it back to the hotel, preparing to eat it when they were hungry.

Clarence didn’t have any objection.

After dinner, they walked by the riverside. Stella leaned forward with her hands on the handrail lazily, enjoying the pleasing breezes.

Clarence asked, “What’s wrong?”

“My legs feel weak. I don’t have any strength.”

She had slept for the whole day and didn’t do anything, but she inexplicably felt tired.

Clarence turned his back to her and squatted down, “Get on my back.”

Stella looked around and found there were many people in the surrounding. She asked in a whisper, “What do you want to do?”

“Didn’t you say you don’t have any strength? I will carry you back.”

“I... I just want to have a rest. It’s not that exaggerating. I can still walk.”

Clarence turned around and pulled her arm.

Being caught out of the guard, Stella pounced on his back.

Clarence then stood up with Stella on his back, “You should have gotten on earlier.”

Stella was rendered speechless.

Although there were many people in the surrounding, most of them were here for a walk and none of them carried a person on the back. Therefore, many people looked at them curiously and gossipingly.

Stella put her head on his shoulder and urged him in a low voice, “Come back to the hotel, come back.”

“Don’t you want to continue the walk?”

“Am I walking?”

The smile on Clarence’s face became brighter. He then walked towards the hotel with Stella on his back.

There was only a walk of dozens of minutes from the riverside to the hotel.

Looking at their low shadows under the street lamps, Stella suddenly called his name, “Clarence.”

“Yes?”

“Hurry up to tell me. What do you think the truth of the accident twenty years ago would be?”

When finding her mother’s corpse, Clarence told her that the persons who helped Lyndon finish that plan twenty years ago and the persons who caused Justin’s car accident might be from the same group.

Before coming to Riverside City, Stella thought all these must be done by the James family.

But out of no reason, this feeling had weakened and it was not that strong now.

It was based on the way how she got along with Archer and Darnell and the words they said.

She had a hunch that they despised such tricks.

No matter it was twenty years ago or now.

The James were not as heinous as she had imagined.

Clarence said in a flat tone, “No matter what it would be, it must be unpleasant.”

“What was the James’ role in the accident twenty years ago? What do you think of it?”

“Not a positive role.”

“Why?”

“The James are not allowed to leave Riverside in their whole life. However, they were involved in the accidents twenty years ago, like the big file in the Stewards’ Mansion, Lyndon’s fraud of stealing Charles’ identity and Justin’s car accident. Except for the possibility I mentioned just now, could it be that they came there to carry out some good deeds?”

Stella moved her lips trying to say something, yet was temporarily lost for words.

Clarence continued, “Maybe the James were not the persons behind all these, but these accidents must have some relationship with them.”

“But I still can’t figure out a question.”

Clarence replied, “I can’t either. But I guess we will get the answer soon.”

The question was: Since the James were not allowed to leave Riverside, why did they break the rule and involve in those things in City N?

After coming back to the hotel, Stella lay on the bed after some simple washing procedures as she had taken a bath before going out. She turned on her phone which was fully charged and called Stella to tell her that she was safe.

Sherry immediately received the call and said hurriedly, “I’m so scared that you’ve been missing for two days. Luckily, Mr. Conrad called me this morning.”

Stella paused when she heard the words and then asked, “Did he call you?”

“Not me exactly. It was that Daniel sent his men to find you and Mr. Conrad told us about the condition concisely, telling us not to find you.” Sherry then asked, “Stella, what happened? Why did you suddenly disappear from the hospital?”

Stella slightly pressed her lips together, “I was taken away by Darnell’s men.”

“Darnell? That monster who’s rumoured that he would eat people? Oh gosh. Tell me, does he look horrifying and gloomy? Did he do anything to you?”

Stella chuckled, “Not so. I saw him and he looks different from the rumours. He looks...”

An idea flashed across her mind when she recalled the person she saw at the door, but it slipped away.

Sherry asked in confusion, “Is he handsome?”

“It’s true that he’s handsome.”

“How handsome is he? Is he more handsome than Clarence?”

Stella’s hand which was holding the phone froze in the air and she recalled the scene when she first met Darnell.

She finally caught the idea that flashed across her mind just now.

Several seconds later, Stella replied, “Yes.”

Sherry didn’t believe it, “Really?”

“Yes. They’re evenly handsome.”

Sherry finally exclaimed, “Oh gosh! I can’t believe there’s a person who’s as handsome as Mr. Conrad in the world. Oh, I also want to see him. Can you secretly take a picture of him and send it to me?”

Stella replied, “It’s hard.”

Right at his moment, Daniel’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “I’m by your side. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”

Sherry retorted, “I was telling the truth. Although Mr. Conrad has a sharp tone, he’s more handsome than many men. When he remains silent, he looks drop-dead handsome.”

Stella was amused and smiled when she heard the words. When she looked up, however, she noticed the man who was leaning against the door frame.

Stella was rendered speechless.

She coughed, “Sherry, actually, I think...”

Unluckily, he has a mouth.”

Clarence walked over in strides.

Stella quickly ended the call, hid the phone under the quilt and looked out of the windows calmly, wanting to pretend that nothing had happened.

As Clarence approached her step by step, Stella suddenly felt that the temperature in the room was dropping dramatically and she felt somehow breathless because of his aura.

Stella chose to break the silence, “Sherry was joking just now. It’s a compliment.”

Clarence stopped in front of her, “I perceive it. But...”

When speaking, Clarence grabbed her wrist, pressed her onto the bed and narrowed his black eyes dangerously, “Evenly handsome? What do you mean?
