Due to the nightmare in the afternoon, Stella couldn’t fall asleep at midnight, her eyes widely open.

Hence, she got up and started sorting out the design drafts recently.

In the past few weeks, she was out of town, so she worked online. Since now she had returned to City

N, she should go back to SG Jewelry Magazine and report.

When she was half done, Stella heard the footsteps in the corridor. The next second, she heard the

door of the bedroom next door was open.

She guessed that it must be Clarence who came back.

Subconsciously, Stella checked the time on her cell phone - one o’clock in the morning.

When they were in Anqiao Street, she always felt that the wretched man was quite idle. Except that he

occasionally dealt with the documents delivered by Nathan, he kept making trouble to her for the rest of

the time. However, as soon as he returned to City N, he got so busy.

After sorting out the drafts, Stella felt starved.

She opened her door, went downstairs to the kitchen, and started looking for food.

She checked the food in the fridge, but she didn’t have an appetite to eat them. Fortunately, there were

plenty of ingredients. She decided to cook by herself.

Stella took out the chicken wings and potatoes. She wanted to potato stuffed chicken wings.

Since the chicken wings were washed ahead, she only needed to take out the bones and soak the

chicken into the cooking wine. Then she would cut the potato into slices and stuff them into the chicken

wings. After that, she only needed to deep fry them together.

After it was done, she poured some water into the pot and turned down the gas to boil them. It would

be ready in another twenty minutes.

Stella put back the lid, wiped her hands, and turned around, only to find that Clarence was leaning

against the door of the kitchen with both hands in his trousers pockets. He was watching her in silence.

Stella was shocked, wondering when the wretched man came to the kitchen.

Clarence asked flatly, “Haven’t you had enough for dinner?”

Stella shook her head, “Yes, I have. I’m just hungry again.”

After that, she was afraid that the wretched man would mock her for eating much. She added

tentatively, “It’s past one in the morning now. Isn’t it normal to have a midnight snack?”

Clarence strode over, pulled a chair away from the dining table, and sat down, “You’re starved after

having dinner, ready for the midnight snack. I haven’t had lunch yet. What do you think?”

Stella was speechless.

She didn’t stop him from eating lunch, did she? Why would he ask her what she thought?

Since she was taken in by him, Stella believed that she should be polite. Reluctantly, she asked, “Mr.

Conrad, what would you like to eat? I can cook it for you.”

After all, she had to stand here, waiting for the food to be ready.

Clarence said, “Up to you.”

Stella opened the fridge again, glancing in it quickly. She realized that no matter what she would cook,

it would take a long time.

Since he hadn’t had lunch yet, he couldn’t eat something stimulating. Otherwise, he would have a

stomachache.

Finally, Stella took out two eggs, deciding to make a steamed egg custard.

It should be ready when the potato stuffed chicken wings were ready.

After she put the bowel of whisked egg into the steamer, Stella looked over at the man who was sitting

at the dining table, “Mr. Conrad, you may wait upstairs. I can deliver it to you when it’s ready.”

“Am I disturbing you if I stay here?”

Stella curled her lips without answering.

Time passed by.

After a moment, Clarence suddenly asked, “Didn’t you said you couldn’t bear the smell of the

lampblack?”

“Ah...” Stella understood what he meant, “Well, this is not so strong. But it depends. If he doesn’t bother

me, I’ll be fine.”

Of course, the most important was not only she was starved, but the little fellow in her belly was also

starved.

Clarence glanced at her belly without speaking anything else.

Stella rubbed her nose, continuing to watch the food.

She knew that Clarence didn’t like the baby in her belly at all. He had shown the little conscience that

he had already. She couldn’t ask him for more.

Shortly after, the twenty minutes were over.

Stella opened the lid of the pot and the food’s smell spread in the whole kitchen.

She sprinkled sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Then she picked up the chicken wings and

put them into a plate with chopsticks.

Then she went to take out the steamed egg custard and sprinkled sesame seeds and chopped green

onions on it. She put the bowl in front of Clarence, “It’s ready. Go ahead.”

Clarence looked down at the food in front of him and glanced over the chicken wings on her plate,

“Stella, did you do it on purpose?”

Stella just picked up a chicken wing and hadn’t taken a bite yet. She heard his question and followed

his gaze into her own plate. Then she looked over at his bowl.

Obviously, the steamed egg custard looked not delicious at all compared to the chicken wings on her

plate.

The difference was too huge.

“Haha... Mr. Conrad, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? So you can’t eat anything spicy or oily.

Otherwise, you may have a stomachache.”

Clarence cast her a glance and said in a flat tone expressionlessly, “You know it very well. It seems you

always suffer from stomachache.”

Stella was speechless.

The wretched man reminded her of her previous experiences.

She wondered if he did it on purpose.

Stella stood up again and got another clean plate. She put half chicken wings into the plate and pushed

it to Clarence, “Mr. Conrad, since you want to eat them so much, you can eat the chicken wings after

finishing the egg custard.”

Upon hearing it, Clarence retorted unhappily, “When did I tell you I want to eat them?”

“Oh, probably I misunderstood you. Mr. Conrad, it’s alright. Forget it...”

Stella was about to pull back the plate, but Clarence cast her a cold glance.

She knew that he denied with his lips but affirmed in his heart again.

She curled up her lips and coughed. Then she said solemnly, “Mr. Conrad, hurry up and eat your food.

They’re getting cold.”

After that, Stella didn’t care about him any longer. She started to eating. She was almost starved to

death.

After finishing her food, she stretched.

Seeing that Clarence didn’t eat the chicken wings on his plate, she asked, “Mr. Conrad, don’t you want

to eat them?”

Clarence asked, “Are you full?”

“Yeah...”

“Then none of your business.”

Stella lost her tongue.

Her kindness wasn’t appreciated again.

Ignoring him, Stella did her own dishes and went upstairs.

Clarence pinched his nose bridge. Sitting motionlessly, he was lost in thought. He didn’t stand up and

leave the kitchen until a long while later.

...

On the next day, when Stella got up, Clarence was gone. After having breakfast, when she was about

to go out for work, the driver walked up to her, “Good morning, Mrs. Conrad. Please allow me to give

you a ride.”

Stella said, “No, thanks. I can...”

She just went to work. She didn’t want to be so bothered.

“Mrs. Conrad, Mr. Conrad told me that if you want to go out, I must give you a ride.”

Stella exhaled, “All right.”

She could imagine what reason the wretched man would use to convince her if she still refused.

However, the car would draw so much attention. Stella asked the driver to stop at the intersection in

front of the office of SG Jewelry Magazine. The driver seemed to want to refuse, but Stella insisted. He

had to give up.

“Mrs. Conrad, I’ll be waiting for you nearby.”

As he spoke, he didn’t wait for Stella’s answer. He got in the car and drove away immediately.

Stella heaved a sigh, turned around, and walked to the office of SG Jewelry Magazine.

From afar, Modesty watched the scene, frowning. Her eyes were full of disdain and contempt. She

knew it - Stella pretended to be aloof. In fact, she could sell out her own body for money and risk her

life climbing up.
