Chapter 659: Chapter 659

Although Stella rejected Clarence’s idea of pay to unlock, she still guessed a rough outline as she lay in bed.

Just as Winnie said, Chassell couldn’t have suddenly issued an apology statement.

However, for this matter, Clarence didn’t instruct Nathan to handle it. So why did he specifically mention Channing to her at this timing?

If she guessed correctly, Channing must have gone to look for Chassell.

However, how did he manage to convince Chassell to issue the apology statement? She could only wait until tomorrow to ask him.

Someone suddenly hugged Stella from behind while she was still lost in her thoughts.

Clarence said, “You are not sleeping yet?”

“I’m going to...”

Before she could finish her sentence, Clarence kissed her. After the kiss was over, he said in a low and hoarse voice, “You don’t have to sleep if you can’t sleep. Hmm?”

Stella was speechless.

Who said she couldn’t fall asleep?

The temperature in the room gradually rose.

Stella suddenly thought of something. She asked while gasping, “Are you coming back for dinner tomorrow?”

“No. You guys can eat first.”

“Didn’t you say that... it is almost over?”

Clarence answered her with a gentle hum and kissed her fingers, “The board meeting is three days later.”

Stella didn’t continue to ask and just wrapped her arms around his neck.

It suddenly rained after midnight. Until the next morning, the sky was still foggy, drizzling with scattered raindrops.

When Winnie arrived at the program recording site, Flora was already waiting there. Compared to before, she was surprisingly quiet today. After taking a glance at Winnie, she immediately withdrew her gaze and looked down at her phone.

Winnie’s assistant whispered, “Flora must be scared to death now. That bastard and his ex-wife have come out one after another to clarify and apologize. As for her, the troublemaker, she didn’t benefit from it but instead got implicated by that incident.”

“At least she will keep quiet for a while.”

After Winnie said that, she looked around, looking for Channing.

She withdrew her gaze. As she picked up her phone, her assistant asked, “Ms. Truman, are you looking for Channing?”

Winnie was stunned for a moment, “I...”

The words hanging on her lips, she didn’t know what to say.

The assistant said, “I heard a staff member say that he had injuries on his face when we came in. The director took him to the makeup artist to see if he could cover it.”

Winnie subconsciously frowned, “How did he get hurt?”

“I don’t know either. Maybe—”

Just as the assistant spoke, Channing and the director came over.

The makeup only covered the bruises on his face, but the injuries on the corners of his mouth and his nose bridge were still obvious.

The director went to discuss with several cameramen about how to shoot later.

After shooting for a few weeks, Channing had become the main force of the team.

He came today to talk to the director about the situation and intended to take a leave of absence.

The director was okay with his leave of absence from the shooting. However, he felt that Channing’s injuries were still manageable and didn’t think that he needed to be absent from the shooting.

After discussing with the other staff members, the director decided to take some photos first. After that, they would leak a few photos to the public. If the audience had a big reaction, they would post-process the videos.

And soon, the program recording began.

Several times, Winnie’s mind would drift off when she looked at Channing.

The crew thought that she was still affected by the incident yesterday. They didn’t say much but just stopped for a few minutes to let them rest.

Winnie walked aside, let out a breath, and picked up the water glass.

The assistant whispered, “Ms. Truman, are you feeling uncomfortable?”

Winnie pinched her nose bridge, “It’s nothing.”

When she finished the glass of water, the assistant took the glass over, “I’ll go and get you some warm water.”

Just as her assistant left, Channing walked over and stood in front of her. He pursed his thin lips as if he wanted to say something.

Winnie met his eyes, “What is it?”

After a while, Channing only said, “My sister asked me to tell you to go have dinner with her tonight.”

Winnie nodded, “Okay, got it.”

Channing didn’t say anything more. Just as he turned around and was about to leave, Winnie stopped him instead.

She said, “The injuries on your face... What happened? Did you get into a fight?”

Channing turned his head back, “It’s nothing. I just met two punks last night when I was on my way back.”

“This... It’s too dangerous. You should directly call the police next time if you encounter this kind of situation.”

“Okay.”

After a few minutes, the recording started again.

...

In the afternoon, Stella, Sherry, and Elaine went to the supermarket to buy ingredients.

Elaine pushed the shopping cart and walked in front. One could see she was in great joy even by looking at her back.

Stella noticed that Sherry was a little distracted. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

Hearing her question, Sherry let out a long breath and shook her head, “It’s nothing.”

“Did something happen to Daniel?”

“No, it’s... I guess it’s my problem. I’m always imagining things. I couldn’t get in contact with him for a few days already.”

“Have you asked Emmett?”

Sherry said, “No, I haven’t. I’m afraid that if Daniel is really be busy with something, and I specifically find Emmett for some trivia, it would be inappropriate.”

Stella said, “Then you can just wait. I don’t think anything will happen to him.”

Sherry sighed again, “Let’s stop talking about this. Aren’t you going out with Mr. Conrad? Have you decided where?”

“Yes. It’s a small island near Semporna.”

“Not bad. You can look at the sea and enjoy the breeze. There are relatively few people there too, and it’s quiet. When are you both leaving?”

“It should be next weekend.”

Clarence said that the board meeting would be three days later. After that, with some packing, he could just leave directly.

Sherry said, “Then you should go and have fun. Just let me deal with the things here.”

Stella laughed, “There is still so much work here. We will probably just stay there for a few days and come back.”

After they got the ingredients, Stella received a photo from Archer while they were on the way back.

In the photo, Noah had grown up a little. He was crawling happily on the playmat, with a pile of toys in front of him, smiling happily.

Stella chuckled and replied Archer. Then, she lowered the car window and looked at the passing scenery outside the car.

In the distance, the sunset dyed half the sky red.

Every day seemed to feel like this as if the days ahead of her were full of hope and light.

Winnie and Channing arrived together at eight.

Sherry’s gaze stopped for a few seconds on Channing’s face, then she immediately stood up, “What happened? Did you get into a fight? Who did this!”

“What do you mean by that? Your face is marred! Your female fans will be so distressed when they see this. You—”

Stella came out from the kitchen, “It’s still okay. It’s doesn’t look that bad.”

Elaine, who was hugging a pillow aside, said seriously, “Still very handsome.”

As soon as she said that, everyone in the house looked at her.

Elaine’s face blushed, and she stuttered, “I... What I mean is, he looks more handsome after getting hurt. No... that’s not it... I mean, it doesn’t matter even if he’s hurt...”
